Few months have passed since Haruhime left towards Venice. I have been working on finding a job. Even though I'm rich, I don't want to use my only life-saving. In case something happened to me, I could send it to my family. But being disabled did not come with any perks; they would interview me because of my military background. Still, when they see that I'm disabled, I would immediately be sent away as companies think it is an inconvenience to having a disabled person in the workforce. Ava has been helping me find a job that I would not turn away a disabled person. Ava finally found a company that is hiring a cameraperson with no experience requirement, which is The National Geographic Channel. The television studio just recently launched, and they are hiring a lot of people with or without experience—the television deals with going around the world, documenting scientific things.
(A/N: I don't know about what is the requirements of being a cameraman or National Geographic Channel hiring people with no experience. I chose this television company because it was the most recently launched television company in 2001. The other being Discovery Channel launched in 1985. I needed a television company for the next arc Drake's fortune)
But because of their headquarters in New York. I have to move to the U.S, leaving behind my family again. I wanted to use the Agartha teleportation system, but my family would find out because they are sending me off to the U.S.
In front of the airport, I hugged my family one by one. Each is saying our felling for each other.
Jonah: "Do you needed to go and work again; you know we could take care of you." He said while looking at my fake plastic left arm after that, Mia jumped in agreement with Jonah.
Mia: "yeah, how can you work with one arm," she cried out in worry.
Joseph: "don't worry, I'll figure something out when I reach New York," I said while hugging Mia.
Joseph: "besides how hard can a cameraman me, I just point the camera and shoot." after saying my part, I heard the intercom announcing the flight towards New York is leaving. "Well, I'm going to go now. Bye everyone,"
A few minutes later, I was now on board the plane. I was going to sleep, but before I could sleep, I got a call from my Idroid. I looked at who called me and saw it was Android 18; I pick up the call without hesitation.
Joseph: "hello, 18; why did you call me? I'm currently heading to New York." I said, with my eyes showing confusion on why 18 called me.
18: "Joseph, can you come by Agartha when you are free, you could use New York teleportation system to get to Agartha I got a surprise for you when you get here." She said with excitement in her voice.
Joseph: "what is this surprise you wanted me to see?" I said with a curious look in my face.
18: "it won't be a surprise if I told you, just come by when you are free, you will not be disappointed."
After a bit of talking with Android 18, I learned that she is also retiring from SCP and wanted to become a professor at University College London (UCL). I asked her why she wanted to teach, what she told me is she wanted to share her knowledge to the human race about robotics. I, of course, was supportive of her going to teach future generations new things in life.
Now finished talking to Android 18, I looked out from the window, thinking what would be my surprise, but I can't think of anything I need right now. I later let it go as I have more important things to ponder. With that out of my mind, I made my self comfortable and drifted my self to sleep. After having fun with Haruhime, I don't care about anything anymore, letting go of my fears, I just wanted her to be happy. I sleep happily dreaming about Haruhime and my happiness together.
Few hours have passed, I am now in front of the National Geographic Channel building. I walked toward the Receptionist and asked her a question.
Joseph: "hello, I'm the newly hired cameraman, where do I go to talk to the manager." I said to the Receptionist. She looked at me with an uninterested eye and answered my question.
Receptionist: "go to floor 20, you will meet head manager there he will want to talk to you first before joining the film crew." She said uninterestingly and went back to whatever she was doing on her pc.
I went toward the elevator and went up towards level 20. When I enter the floor, I heard two people arguing. One was A fat older man with saggars on his mouth. While the other person that was arguing was a petite blond hair white woman, overhear their argument without intention.
Old Man: "look, already gave you founding on a boat and camera, but I can't give you a dedicated camera crew." the old man said with a fair bit of anger in his face.
Woman: "look, Victor, if this story is real, it means we have a gem in our hands a real story." after hearing the blond woman call the man Victor, he must be the manager. I walked up to them, hoping they would notice me.
Victor: "look, if you think this story of your is successful pro…." he stopped midway and looked at me and asked a question. "Who are you?"
Joseph: "I'm the newly hired cameraman; I came here to talk to you."
Victor: "aah, you must be Joseph Maiava." He said while holding out his right hand to shake my right hand. After that, he scanned me up and down. But pause for a second on my fake left arm. His face became ugly when he saw my disabilities. But suddenly had a great idea in his face he looked at the blond woman and me. "I change my mind. Miss Fisher meet you only crew, Mr. Maiava, I hope you worked well together," he said with a wicked smile on his face.
