Novel Full 184 Receiving the News
[Welcome back sir] Nova greeted Aron, appearing in front of him in her augmented reality form the moment Aron opened his eyes after logging off the VR, having just finished his meeting with John just moments Ago.
“It looks like you really went all out,” Aron said after he opened his eyes and could see the side of the building rising a hundred or so meters in height, its length resembling a Titan wall.
[I decided to start earlier to make sure that no problem occurs midway and causes delays to the project] Nova reported.
“What do you mean by that?” Aron asked, quite puzzled.
[Based on my calculations using the variables and datasets that I have access to, it shows that there is a high chance that Esparia will escalate its actions, either due to either external influence or internal factors] She explained to the now completely focused Aron, who after hearing this report had lost any curiosity about the building behind him or about any of the other infrastructure that was still ongoing the printraction process.
“What timelines are we operating on?” Aron asked immediately.
[It depends on variables in action here, some of them even are projecting no less than two weeks, while some of the others project that it will take no less than a month before the first shot is fired] She clarified.
“That’s enough time to have a first batch of graduates,” Aron said, releasing a sigh of relief realizing that he had sufficient time to prepare himself.
[Also, while you were having a tour with John, through the CCTV network you built into the neighborhood, I discovered two people heading to your house. They did some inspections on the electric wiring network]
[After accessing the security database about the two people’s visit, I found information about them that Donald had uploaded to the house’s security team’s database, showing a picture of their credentials. When I hacked into the listed company and got my hands on their employees’ details, I found that it seems to have been registered just a few days ago. However, the documents were very skilfully edited to make it look like they had been working for five years] Nova took a break and finally came to a conclusion.
[Anyone who looked through their documents would think that they really had been working for the company for a few years] She reported and explained what she found.
“FBI?” Aron muttered with a frown after hearing the explanations while touching his forehead.
[Yes] Nova answered bluntly with a single word, not sugarcoating anything at all despite knowing that Aron hated this name the most, second only to the hate he had once had for Rottem.
“Looks like I need to buy a school,” Aron said in a dry tone, not joking in the least.
Upon hearing that, Nova’s servers immediately got to work to analyze the reason behind such a statement from him.
[School for who? Henry. As he was the only one in their family going to school.] She thought, procession the information.
[Where is the school going to be? Of Course, Eden. Meaning that Henry will have to move to Eden] she continued to deduce.
Adding a few more queries and answering them herself, Nova finally found the most likely reason behind Aron’s words to be answered that way.
[You plan to use this incident as a way to convince your parents to move to Eden?] She asked.
“Yes,” Aron replied with a smile on his face.
[Should I send a few of the remaining Ares personnel to America to move the quantum computer? I’m more than 97 percent sure that they will return with one of the more than 530,867 legal ways with which they could get their hands on the quantum computer] Nova suggested.
“No, leave it there. It is better if they take it. No, I very much hope that they do it,” Aron muttered, the corner of his lips curving into a sinister smile.
Seeing that smile on his face, Nova knew either the FBI was in for a treat or the entire US government was about to learn a very valuable lesson the hard way.
Among her variables, Nova considered the task the quantum computer at his home had been doing after she migrated to the quantum server: Data transfer.
[Are you planning to let them have it so that you can have access to their classified network?] Nova asked after a moment.
“Yes, it’s like killing two birds with one stone,” Aron answered.
“Although I could have convinced my parents to move here peacefully, they would still entertain the idea of returning to America whenever they want. But if they were to see how the government treats me, they will also have the same feeling as I do. And after they move here, their nostalgia for America should gradually subside,” Aron answered by explaining, giving Nova another reason as to why he wanted the quantum computer to be taken.
“Still, order the Ares members living in the surrounding buildings of my family’s house to be on standby, just in case if something or someone tries to harm them during the period where I wait for the three letter agency to make their move,” Aron ordered, asking for an increase of scrutiny of the Ares members that were living as normal people in nearly half the houses around his family’s neighborhood.
[Yes sir. With the access to the entire CCTV network that you had built in the neighborhood, it’s impossible for something to pass through without me noticing and informing them at once] Nova answered, assuring Aron, alleviating his worries.
“Good. Let’s tour the building during that time,” Aron said, rising from the beach chair he had been seated on throughout the time he had been talking to the AR of Nova through the glasses.
As he toured the lowermost floor of the building, Aron couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction when he noticed that the pods were arranged in quadruple deckers, covering the entire floor with well-managed pipes coming from them, yet not destroying the beautiful arrangements.
“How many of them are here?” he asked.
[The floor has ten thousand pods and since they are in quadruple deckers (meaning there are three more on top of each pod on the floor separated by a space of a meter) it means there are forty thousand of them] she answered.
“Tell John to start increasing the recruitment of the soldiers since we can now accommodate forty thousand of them here for training at once, there is no need to waste the resources and leave them inactive,” Aron instructed.
[Done]
