The next morning I was off to see Becky. She was onboard doing some editing, She greeted me with a hug and a smile. "How is my favorite PR queen?" She blushed and giggled, her crew looked shocked. "You need to teach us how you do that," said one of the men. She shot him a look "I only demand the best a person is capable of doing so they outshine the rest" She said with a giggle. I looked at her crew "bit of a slave driver is she?"

They both started nodding and laughing. "I am not" she said in her defense then crossed her arms. I think this conversation has been had before based on the laughter.

I went to the men and introduced myself. They both worked on film crews in the lower mainland in the past and they were more than willing to jump onboard. Becky looked at me "I just went to the compound and asked if anybody had experience and the twins have everyone's skills listed so easy peasie".

"The compound?" I asked Becky. "That's what they call it". I shook my head "that needs to change like now" I said and dialed the twins. I set up a time they were free in an hour.

"Back to the matter at hand. I want to talk to you about how you think we should do my reveal". She looked at me in deep thought "it depends if you want to be flashy and make a big deal out of it. You could do it low key like another interview or a press conference. If you go flashy you will have to pull another stunt. I'm low key myself, it gives a little more credibility".

Her crew were nodding with her "see this is why your PR. I would probably go with the stunt" I giggled. "Let's go with the interview and I will leave the rest in your capable hands. How is the site doing?" She smiled "over 17 million hits a day. We would make a fortune on ad revenue". I smiled "I could but there will never be ads on my network".

"No ads?" asked the men. I smiled again "yup unless you want to see them". That's when I realized they didn't have the communication units. "Vickey, could you have 3 sets of comm units". I got my reply and looked at them "I'm sorry it's new to me, I'm bringing protype comm units. I want to use them and let me know anything I can change or improve. Vicky can fill you in when she gets here with them, she has all the specs''. That produced enthusiast head nodds.

I bid my farewell and made my way to the compound. Wow, that sounds horrible. The twins met me at the tree "how did it end up the compound?" They shrugged their shoulders and Ryan spoke up "the people named it, not intentionally. It was something sad one day and it just caught on". I shook my head "well we need to uncatch it. I want a vote from everyone 12 and up on a new name and we will sort through the common ones. The compound makes it feel like they are staying at a military base. It's kind of true but it's not the feeling I want here".

I had a thought and closed my eyes. There I reached out for Cora and Lisa, I didn't get a reply but I sensed them coming closer so I took this as a yes. Just before I opened my eyes I felt a wave of love from them. That was a lot easier than I thought.

I opened my eyes and looked at the twins. "I'm calling in backup, my wives can help". They both got wide eyed "oh they aren't here to take over they are just here to help". That calmed them down, this is their baby and they take it seriously. "I never knew what to call it and I'm glad the people get to name it".

When my kittens showed up and we hatched a plan.

"Vickey can you keep track and make sure there are no doubles". She nodded. And off they went to collect the names. Anything is better than the compound, it sounds like there should be barbed wire.

I made my way back to the confines of my office to find Carla sitting in my chair. She was playing puzzle games and quite quickly I might add. "Hi daddy" she said with a chipper voice that I love. "Hi pumpkin" I said and she screwed up her nose at me. "Is that one of those terms things". I smiled "yes it is, it's the same as sweetie. I will try to use the same ones with you" I chuckled. She smiled back "I don't mind, I like them all". She already has me wrapped around her finger.

"I'm sorry for not including you with your moms". She got up so I could sit then she hopped into my lap "it's ok now I have you all to myself now. I have something important to ask you" she said as she hugged me. My eyebrows went up "what is it pumpkin?"

She looked at me with a serious look and took a deep breath "can I go visit my sister?"

"Sure" I shot back without hesitation. She looked shocked "what's wrong". She blinked then shook her head. "I don't know why but I was afraid to ask".

I hugged her to me "I promise to call Jaden and see if it's ok". She pulled back and looked at me "it's ok, I already did" she said to me. I looked at her realizing I just got played. "I talk to her and the girls every day and Jaden said I had to ask you directly not through mom". I thought thank you Jaden, I guess she is up to being a big sister.

Carla jumped down and picked up a bag that was under the desk. I started to laugh and reached for a hug, Not your average 14 year old.

"Vickey has a shuttle waiting for me" she said as she started to walk away. She looked over her shoulder "I love you daddy"

"I love you sweetie, be good". She beamed a smile at me as she left my office and I just sat there. I have way too many women in my life that have me wrapped around their fingers.

Maybe I should go talk to my brother so that's what I did.

I discovered that I need to check if people are onboard before I go looking for them. 30 minutes later I was back in my office checking the news. Not gonna lie, my face was on a lot of channels. The talks of me being an alien here to conquer made me laugh but it did get me thinking. "Vickey what happened to the ship under the ice and its AI?" She looked at me and scrunched up her face. "I wouldn't call it an AI, it would be more of a pet. All it can do is fly the ship if it feels like it. Why do you ask?"

"Just a stray thought. Are you able to make another AI?" She smiled "of course that is the last step of the amusement park and moon base. I do it last because I know I would be cranky if I was brought online and nothing worked" she giggled.

"How is your base going?" I got a beaming smile. She waved her arm and the dome appeared. "Because there are no people around I can replicate things in place. The radiation is very bad for living things ence forth the force field when you use the replicator. This process is 20% faster so the dome is done and the zoo is finished. If you go there I will shut down the replicators so it's safe and I will build it in sections so you have something to see". She waved her arm and I saw a volcano shaped resort with legs. I looked at it and zoomed in.

The top of the volcano was a landing pad or airport or spaceport I need to figure that out. What I thought were legs were rides and they looked good enough to scare anyone. Vickey pointed out the zoo that was finished where she had holo creatures from her memory and files.

I saw people playing on zip lines that traveled on laser light. Ok that would be neat to try, just point shoot then grab on. The whole thing was hexagons with walking paths in between. "Each hexagon is essentially one ride and I can change them within 3 hours. There will be multiples of every ride so lines will be non-existent unless it was stupid popular. And with an AI keeping everyone safe it will be a job or vacation to remember".

"Is this all cloaked?" She gave me the look. "Yea yea ok. How do you feel about revealing it during the next press conference" I looked at her

"That would work, by then all I will have left is to put in the AI and I'm done she will take over from then".

"Think there is enough there for me to take the mayor?" She nodded. "By then the AI will have control so yes. Oooo a high priced guinea pig, I like it". My turn for the look "I don't even know if he will want to go but it's nice to have on the table. I wonder if we should build one on earth?"

"OH NOW YOU THINK OF THAT" she held her sides laughing. "I thought that might come up so the whole thing flys". My eyes shot open "what". She shook her head "say the word and the whole thing is mobile. I did it this way in case I ran out of room in the city". I just looked at her and blinked.

"Well that certainly opens some options. Let's try it based out of Vancouver and if demand is high enough we could migrate to earth". She shrugged "Vancouver will make a fortune during the time they are exclusive. You may want to give them the heads up" she giggled. "Why do you think I'm bringing him up here?" I waggled my eyebrows and she shook her head.

"What are the rooms like at the park". She zoomed in and showed me "every room is 5 star, I could see a spacious room with beautiful furnishings and separate bedrooms. "Being able to change rooms on the fly helps" Vickey giggled. "You have a duplicate quarters on the moon, the kits and Jaden's quarters were duplicated as well". I smiled "thank you for that". She returned my smile "your welcome Brad"

"Speaking of Jaden, you knew about a little plan that happened". She put her hands up "don't talk to me go talk to her, I was just transport. Jaden wanted her to ask you directly and she was scared to"

My turn to start laughing "that little girl was not scared". She laughed along as I leaned back and a hologram appeared and scared the shit out of me.

My wives told me to go to the area no longer known as the compound. I looked at Vickey "I guess the results are in".

I got to the tree and everybody was there. My wives came to me and let me know that the area was now known as PROGRESS.

"That's more like it" was all I said and collected my wives. They bid their farewells as we left and went back to our quarters. There I found out they knew as well but wanted it to be a bonding moment. I held my wives and realized how good I have it. We went to bed holding one another.
