After managing the affairs of the future Mars colonists , Alex decided to address a few more things before logging off.

He instructed Da’grass to start producing enough data to seed converters to optimize their use .

Additionally he acquired the rights of various seeds used in alien beverages .

Alex requested Da’grass to convert one of the yet to be designated areas on the colony in farmland .

This farmland would be solely for cultivating various seeds to fulfil the brewery’s needs .

He instructed him to start planting as soon as everything was ready .

It would be a little surprise for Sam.

“You know that proposal for an amusement park we rejected because it wouldn’t accommodate the needs of every species?” Helena suddenly asked Alex .

“Yeah , if we didn’t have to consider the aliens it would have been a very good plan , all the fun without any risk” replied Alex .

“Well I was thinking that maybe Cathy could turn it into a VR game that would take the physique of different Aliens in consideration.” said Helena .

“That’s actually not a bad idea , I’ll start a video chat with Cathy to discuss if this is possible” answered Alex .

Da’grass make a connection with Cathy if you will .

“Hello Alex , since you’re video chatting you probably want to discuss something , so how can I be of service to you ?” an energetic Cathy responded the moment she answered Alex’s call .

“Hi Cathy , we wanted to know if it was possible to make a VR game that can take into consideration the physique of different species.” asked Alex .

“Depends on what kind of situation you’re implying , what circumstances did you have in your mind.” responded Cathy.

“Well the game would be an amusement park with all kinds of thrilling and relaxing rides among other attractions the park would be offering” said Alex .

“I’ve saw one of those in a movie of your earth , that’s a fantastic idea” responded an excited Cathy who was on the verge of yelling .

I can’t make it so that everyone can enjoy it on the same map , but I can make different versions so that species of the same size can enjoy the game together .

After the initial scan when entering the game the players would be assigned a version that accommodates their physique , would this be acceptable?

“Could you make it so that they can choose between entering alone , in group , planet based or universe based” asked a nervous Alex .

“That won’t be a problem , I’ll create an entire world just to accommodate everyone .

This is going to be huge” said a Cathy who couldn’t control her excitement anymore .

“I’ll put the game we’re currently working on aside and start with this one immediately .

Is it ok for me to seek external help to design the many rides and attractions?” asked Cathy.

“You’re in charge Cathy .

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

You don’t need to ask me if you deem it necessary” said an elated Alex.

“If there’s nothing else you want to add , I’ll be instructing everyone to start on this game” Cathy stated.

Just make sure you don’t forget to include food , snacks and drinks in the game answered Alex .

“We won’t . Bye Alex , Helena . Until next time” Cathy said , and then she terminated the transmission .

“Well she was certainly excited about the idea” Helena chuckled.

“That girl has an energy that a lot of people would envy” Alex agreed .

“I just received a message from my mother .

The shipments with VR equipment have arrived , and she’s wondering if we could open the gate so they can transport them directly to the colony” Helena informed.

They are all pods . She ramped up their production , anticipating the need for them once the Nexus opened .

She’s already at the gate with a group of people .

“Da’grass , please open the gate” Alex requested.

“Also , Sam is asking if you could extend the deadline for proposals .

Some people who got rejected are worried that they won’t get a second chance” Helena mentioned .

“Tell them there is no deadline , but if they are engaged in a business , they have to commit and don’t change their minds” Alex responded .

Why are they asking you these things ?

They have my contact information.

“Don’t worry about it , sweetie .

They probably thought that if you were busy , I could mention it to you if you had some spare time” Helena said with a smile.

“You’ve got a video call from John Carther , Alex” informed Da’grass .

“Well at least someone remembers my number” Alex murmured and told Da’grass to establish the connection .

“Alex , what have you been up to?” began a visible tired John .

“I’ve been setting up some businesses for a few friends of mine” Alex answered.

You look like you could use some sleep , john .

“And what do you think is the reason I need some sleep?” John retorted.

You mentioned some friends, but those were more than 5000 businesses you established , primarily in the Capitol .

I don’t mind the influx of credits , but to seeing your name more than 5000 times , each time stating that you own 30 percent of the company , might make some people suspicious .

Like me and the rest of the government , are you starting a criminal organization or a monopoly? John asked , sounding worried .

“No , nothing like that . You can rest assured John” said Alex with a smile.

I do have some kind of an organization , but we won’t engage in any illegal activities or monopolize anything .

We just want to be as prepared as humanly possible when you decide to open the borders and carve out a spot for humanity .

“That are some big words , Alex .

But nothing that you’ve done so far contradicts what you’re saying , so we’ll believe you .

However , a heads up would have been nice” John replied .

“I’m sorry I caused you to worry .

If there is anything I can do to make it up to you , you just have to ask” answered Alex .

“Are you sure you can keep us and our families safe if the need should arise” John asked .

“I’m positive about that , John .

It wouldn’t be a problem” answered a slightly worried Alex.

“Just keep your word then” replied John

If the moment arises , you will shelter us .

Those damned officials are getting closer and closer .

They keep pestering everyone around the Capitol building in hopes of getting some hints about our identities .

We are currently devising and implementing security measures with the help of El’Anor , but I’m afraid it might be too late by then .

“Don’t wait until the last moment to ask for shelter , John” said Alex .

We won’t be able to extract you ; you’ll have to travel on your own .

So don’t take to many risks .

I’m sure the governments are doing what they believe is right , but if they decide that you’re the enemy , things could turn ugly .

“We promise we won’t wait too long before turning to you for help” John assured .

Goodbye , Alex . And next time you do something big like that , please notify us beforehand .

Goodbye , John and get some sleep !

“Well looks like you’ll be having your refugees sooner than we expected” Helena remarked .

“Yeah , I’ll be recruiting among the people Da’grass investigated as soon as the colony is viable .

However , I do hope we can maintain the island as a link to earth” Alex responded .

“perhaps we should prioritize security personnel that Da’grass has investigated .

A society needs a reliable police force to maintain order” Helena mused .

We’ve already had a few quarrels .

While they were nothing serious , that doesn’t mean that it won’t escalate in the future , especially if our little society continues to grow .

You’re right as usual , Helena .

Da’grass , prioritize securing enough personnel to maintain order in the colony ! Alex instructed .

“It is noted Alex , and the list is updated with security in mind” Da’grass responded .

Well it’s been a long few days Helena .

How about we log off and enjoy a day by the pool ?

“You just want to see me in a bathing suit” Helena joked.

“That’s just a nice bonus” Alex replied and they logged off .
