  • Chapter 228 — The Mechanical Era Cover
    by Patricia Moore  Kant looks around the table before pointing his finger toward Carl, deciding to switch things up a bit.  "You go first, Director Carl." "Thank you, sir. Though I do find the idea of a government bond to be a very good choice, I must ask sir, how will you inform the city's population of the investment opportunity of bonds, sir? Not only you will have to make them aware the bond exists, but you must also convince them to buy up the bond, in order for us to receive and use the money for the…

    by Patricia Moore  Alan raises his hand to grab Kant's attention like a schoolboy wanting to ask his teacher a question. Kant stops speaking and points to the minister, to allow him to stand up and speak his mind.  "What is it, Minister Alan?" Kant asked.  "Sir, the plan that you have proposed is a rather bold one. How will you be able to secure enough funds to build this vast network? I do not think we should purely use our nation's funds," Alan questioned. "That is a good question, Minister Alan. Yes, it will…

    by Patricia Moore  12th of Heimz, 5018. It was a cold, winter day in the city of Hoverdam. Carl, Armstrong, and Alan were all seated in a room, sitting on a desk, with their arms resting on a large wooden desk. They were all wearing their respective uniform, as the heat generated by the fireplace warmed up their bodies to the cozy level. These 3 important figures had all been summed into the room, instructed to wait for Kant Maybale to arrive. The path to the door, and anywhere near it, is constantly being guarded by…

    by Patricia Moore  9th of Heims, 5018. It was a slightly warmer morning in the city of Hoverdam. The people were all busy clearing out the snow that had landed on the loads, making it hard for them to conduct business. While the main roads were salted, a vast majority of the city was left to its own devices.  Kant was found in his office typing away on his typewriter, busy with his work. He was finalizing a few documents for a presentation he has scheduled to be due in 3 days. Now that he had assembled most of the…
  • Chapter 224 — The Mechanical Era Cover
    by Patricia Moore  4th of Hiems, 5018.  The snow on the roads of the new 'Discovery Plaza' were being cleared out by a bunch of mages using a heating spell, to slowly turn the ice-cold snow into water. This water would then go down the drains to the sewers, where it will be transported to the purifiers to be disposed of. After the snow had melted away, the important roads were salted, using a steam-powered machine, to ensure that they won't be covered in snow. It would allow vehicles, such as carriages, and trams,…

    by Patricia Moore  2nd of Hiems, 5018.  Sitting on top of a wooden chair in her office, Rose looked outside through the glass window to see the white snow raining down on her great, magnificent city of Vallina. Winter has finally arrived. For royalty, it often meant a plethora of fun activities to engage in, while for others, it often marked a time when people suffered from a lack of food, due to price hikes. Thankfully, due to her position as the Imperial Queen of the Aceaton Empire, she had managed to devise a…
  • Chapter 222 — The Mechanical Era Cover
    by Patricia Moore  27th of Procidens, 5018. A crew of men found themselves in the middle of a random forest, wearing protective coats to keep them warm. The leaves on the trees, which all used to be made up and filled with green leaves, making a lush green forest, have all turned orange and fallen down to the ground. Being the end of autumn, bits of snow are seen falling down to the ground. It appears the winter may have arrived just a little earlier than expected. The snow started to slowly cover every inch of land,…

    by Patricia Moore A stream of water flows down Marco's threat, as he finishes up the session. Marco puts down the empty wooden cup, next to the closed bible, on the podium desktop. He then takes a deep breath, to prepare himself to speak out again. "I thank you all once again for coming to this session. It has been a pleasure to serve this city. Now, as many of you are beginning to be able to read, we both have decided it would be for the best, as one final act of kindness, to provide some of you with a copy of the…
  • Chapter 220 — The Mechanical Era Cover
    by Patricia Moore 25th of Procidens, 5018 It was a cold morning in the city of Hoverdam. Autumn is nearly over, meaning winter will soon arrive with its rains of snow. A line was queueing up in front of the rented building Marco and Vice conducted their business. Beside the entrance, was a sort of wooden box with a very young man inside, sitting down on a wooden chair, hands on the table. In his hand, he was holding a quill, which he used to write down on the book in front of him, and a tiny piece of paper. This young…
  • Chapter 219 — The Mechanical Era Cover
    by Patricia Moore Carl sees Kant taking out a little book from his black suit pocket. Just before he opens it up and looks through its pages, his head and eyes lock onto Carl, to answer his very own question. "To answer your question, it is because I like them. Now, there are a few more questions that I have for you. Just give me a minute," he told him. Kant then starts to flip through the pages of the book. He appears to arrive on the page that he wants. He examines its content for half a dozen seconds, before placing…
