I can see that...

"The design may be off but that's what I was working on...."

Old man Nerdy said as he took the device from his Lordship's hand ....

Realizing his mistake,he quickly bowed in apology but was lifted by Wanjiru...

"Old man,I understand that you didn't mean to...."

"This old one thanks his Lordship for his understanding...."

"Let's head to my quarter and you can explain everything while seated and over a cup of tea...I do have some sweet cookies and cupcakes with me..."

They walked towards his quarters...Shelly,his young mind had just walked into the cave when he saw them and quickly bowed toward his Lordship...

"Welcome back my Lord...."

"Thank you Shelly...go tell Hardy,Percy and Sachy to be here after an hour...."

Wanjiru led the old man in and had him sit before serving him a mug of tea and some cookies and cupcakes.... despite his old age,Nerdy,enjoyed them.

They caught up on each other before Nerdy pulled out the weird device from his poach. It seemed that he to had applied for a poach from Hardy resource department since he didn't have any money on him. Wanjiru knotted this down and swore to have the old man provided with everything for free.

To him,old man Nerdy held one of the highest spots in his list of most important people to him right now.

He watched as the old man fiddled with the weird before handing it over.

"My Lord,as you can see....there are three jades....."

"I can see that...."

"The green jade is a low-tier ore used in manufacture of memory cores...."

Seeing that the Lord was a little confused...he decided to explain what memory cores were....

"Memory cores are used to store information that can be accessed by infusing a little of ones energy in them.Most people don't know about them since they are only used by higher ups and the rich merchant families..."

Seeing him shake his head he went on....

"Those copper disks connecting the two allows one to send and retrieved stored information from the green jade...."

Wanjiru shook his head in understanding....

"So the white jade is a screen....just like a smartphone....?"

Old man Nerdy was now lost... seeing the confusion in his face,he asked him to forget about the smartphone thing....

"What about the blue jade....?"

He turned the phone upside down as he looked at the beautiful tiny blue jade.

"Well... your Lordship...not everyone can cultivate or have perfect control of their energy....so that stone is an energy stone and by pressing this this copper plate...."

Old man Nerdy said as he stretched his arm over the table and pressed the little copper disks....

"It allows energy to travel to the other two jades activating them...."

Wanjiru watched as the other two jades lit up a little....

"So this is the battery....I meant the power source..."

"Yes your Lordship...."

"And how do I record information or retrieved it as to place a call...?"

Old man Nerdy smiled as he took out another weird device from his poach....

"Just press your finger on the white jade.....like this..."

He did as he was shown and he was dazed as he saw a few names appear on the white jade....

"To place a call,you just have to press the name of whoever you want to call but for inputting another person's information in the green jade,the two jades have to be brought together for a minute but before that....each person must have input their information in the jade.....which is the most complicated part.....as that needs one to infuse their energy....."

" So...you mean those who can't control their energy can't have one regestered to their names...."

"Yes and no...."

Wanjiru looked lost....

"Yes...since they can't do it themselves and,no....for someone else can do it for them but it should be a person they trust.....in short,for with this...."

Nerdy pulled out another weird device,one can access all the devices activated using his energy.

"And how does that work....?"

"Just infuse your energy in the this big sphere....."

Wanjiru was quite for a while.....

"I asked for a telephone now I have a smartphone that even has a GPS tracker and one that I install a bug to...."

Wanjiru thought to himself.....

"Old man Nerdy...."

"Yes my Lord...."

"Have given anyone one of these....."

He said as he lifted the device.

"Not yet my Lord...."

"Good....you might have to upgrade it a bit so as to allow only me to be the one infusing the energy in them.... and the owner regestering manually by themselves...."

Old man Nerdy,had picked on what his Lordship meant...and so he bowed.

"I shall try my best...."

"Also ensure that no one gets to know about the other device....let that be just between the two of us..."

"This old man understand his Lordship's concerns."

He said with a bow....

"Thank you...."

Wanjiru said in a genuine and sincere voice.

As old man Nerdy rose to leave.... Wanjiru called him back.

"I shall have a talk with Hardy,apart from me and Sinako...the rest will have to listen to you.... don't abuse your newly appointed powers....!"

Old man Nerdy bowed as tears flowed in his eyes....he knew well that the position granted to him was not for political or managerial purpose but for access....

And as a researcher,access to resources was what he needed the most, with the new power handed to him,he could now use the territory resources and even mobilize the military to get him what he needed.

As long as he didn't misuse his powers,he could himself achieving greatness for the few years he still had remaining.

As he left, Wanjiru looked at the scrolls that had being placed on another small table at the side,they were reports and records of the tasks he had assigned the three,Hardy, Percy and Sachy,he was even surprised to find a few military records from the patrols.

He knew well that all these were probably written by one person since the calligraphy on record of the camps resources and the military records were all the same.

As he perused through the patrol records....his eyes caught a single word "dead" that made him halt and start reading it slowly.
