TF Chapter 51 The Behemoth In The Void
***Nathaniel***
Sometimes some things are just too...let's just say, mind blowing! Imagine watching a movie showing you the view of a planet from outer space. It would be cool, but ultimately, you wouldnt be moved or anything for that matter.
I had watched videos depicting the two mother ships thousands of times but seeing the behemoth up close was a whole other feeling that made you question whether we humans were the ones who built the thing!
We had long left the most dangerous part of the sun...you could even call it its atmosphere...so, the metallic shutters had been withdrawn, allowing us to view the void of space with our own eyes.
It had all been peaceful and calm until a sound of intense shock had attracted our attention. We had crowded towards the left side, peeking through the glass, only to be stunned speechless...well, mostly me.
The thing was just too huge! It could probably rival an entire continent back on Earth! How had we even managed to get enough resources to build such a thing!
It was cube shaped, simply berthed in the void, like a beast taking a nap, except for the small blue specks of light which were being emitted from its surface, a sign that it's acceleration engines were being primed.
The blue specks dancing around it created a very beautiful scenery against that backdrop of the black shine from the ship's hull causing me to feel entranced. It was simply too...fantasy-like!
Since sound didn't travel in space it appeared silent, but we could still see many crafts similar to ours entering its gigantic hanger, which was too small compared to the behemoth, but I had a feeling that the entrance alone probably rivaled the surface area of the state of Uganda where I was born!
"Wow! Reality really is different from simply being told, or watching from screen...hmmm...even the constructs in virtual reality aren't even close to this magnificence!" Exclaimed Danny.
"Humanity's ingenuity really ought to be praised." Bora spoke with a heavy sigh.
"Seeing this thing brings me a feeling of pride. The pride of being a human!" Danny continued.
He was right. Even I felt like puffing out my chest right now and arrogantly proclaiming that this was the greatness of us, humans!
As our craft entered the hanger, we caught sight of many humans and AI driven automations working to handle the many people who were embarking from the other crafts which had arrived before ours.
"Finally! I can get a signal! Oh! How I missed my dramas! I should download many more!"
"Hahahaha...my daughter got married! Look at these photos! Ain't she adorable!"
....
Many such conversations took place as I also contemplated contacting my cousin.
***Alistair***
"Have you found out what I asked for?"
That was the first thing I asked the moment I alighted from the craft. And I wasn't asking the four who were alighting with me, but the person who had arrived to welcome us.
"Young master, I have...here."
My nano suit notified me of some documents that had arrived. I could have opted to peruse through them within my room, but I was too impatient for that. It had taken me a long time to finally figure out the man known as Danny Whitmore. I could have treated him as a normal person, but his background was far too prestigious for that.
Those people were touted as makers of greats. And since their prized prodigy had appeared here and was befriending some random man and that woman from the Bora clan, then there had to be more to it. Was one of them going to become a great?
As I perused the information pertaining to the two, I was simulating a way to approach them naturally without arousing any suspicion. Since Danny had appeared here and befriended those two, then they were most definitely going to advance and become forgers, and not the normal sort. I had waited patiently enough! I had to find a-
Oh! This guy really does hate forgers with a zeal. He actually even painted such a large target on his daughter's back?!
"Find out more about this!"
I sent out a packet of information while boarding the elevator. With the size of this craft, these were the only types of travel since their speed was equal to being shot out of a railgun.
'Danny! Danny! Danny! There is no way I am going to let go of this opportunity to befriend these two. Though, with my years of reading people coupled with what my spies have been collecting, it seems like the man is far more important to you...'
You see, this world is very very hard to live...no, to survive in. Unless you are a powerhouse surpassing everyone, there is always competition. Even within my clan, there was a lot of competition. A young master?! That's useless! Unless you can mature and prove that you are better than everyone can you become the family head.
Our clan had survived for centuries depending on the power of money, then the power of forgers. We had grown large, but there was just a single rule that had been set since its founding that caused the intense competition;
Everyone, even branch family descendants could take the seat of patriarch the moment they surpassed all the others!
Frankly, there was nothing wrong with it except for the fact that my father was currently the clan head, yet someone from the branch family, a man in his late twenties was about to replace us after the abdication of my father at 50 years of age. If that happened, we would drop down as the rules stipulated that families related to the previous leader shouldn't be favored just because they still have a powerful person behind them.
It would have been great if my older brother had been as competent as that genius but he was simply useless. I was having to compete with those other youth while also trying to catch up to that guy who was a generation older than me...
(Sigh)
The burden was simply too much! But my ray of light had just appeared, Danny Whitmore!
No, to be more precise, it would be one of the figures he was following, the man with the names of Nathaniel Bosingwa!
Maybe I should use this plot by Bora's father as a spring board to get chummy with them? But first, I had to find out who will really be carrying out the task.
I really don't know why that guy is so hung up on hating forgers. This is a new era! He should already have adapted to the times! Such an idiot will most definitely have a short life. Anyway, I shouldn't waste my thoughts on that trash.
Danny is a very calculating man according to what I have observed. It would be better if I don't step on his toes. On the contrary, I should try to maintain my relationship with him, first, by getting rid of these idiots who have come very close to uncovering his identity. They might ruin my plans if I don't take care of them.
I tapped my thighs with my finger as I thought of the possible solutions. Good thing that there was a high chance of death wherever we were headed. It would be great if I could manage to orchestrate a few of said deaths.
