"Stand by"

"And here we are… I made it; barely, I need to work on my cardio, was gonna wait a bit before recording again, but it is getting late, and I need you to see what it looks like when the last rays of sun hit the tower; let's get the bird up for an aerial look. It is not fully charged but it will be enough… and up, so, this is the farm now, this one is a corn field, as you can see, they have the drones doing work"

"The people over there doing other kind of work said this was the regular shift, people spent five or six hours on the field, move to lunch and leave the drones do the next bit, only few return for a last check up, a fixer upper, to leave the drones do the rest of the late work… moving down, and on… this area makes a different kind of corn…"

"they are getting ready for the next month, which is corn season, after that, they let the place rest for the next year, while moving to another area… they do it mainly because during the hard times before the tower was here, the people learned to prioritize, to not waste and only consume what was available, now, they still do the same, producing only what will be consumed, doing the calculations to make it so…"

"no idea how they do it, I only know that before coming here I had to wait before being accepted, gave documentations, you know, school, work, etcetera… yeah, that is the normal thing; but then I made exams, medical, of psychology, knowledge… exactly, all so they could estimate my requirements and consumption…"

"Okay let's do the same as the drones and move, the best place to look at what I want you to see is over there, high place and all… oh right, questions… no, they have the dam, the tower, farms, roads, cities, oh the dam; it is the one that supplies energy to the entire country while also serves as a cooling for the supercomputer… is a bit far from here…"

"Huh?... I guess is still in space, the other supercomputer… no idea, I heard the rumors that he was building more than two supercomputers, but I have no idea if that was true since he has a whole country backing him up with resources; tech talk for another chapter, my focus for this one is the outside look of the building…"

"next video will be a closer look with a view from the cableway, it is the best way to look at the country, and the building's lower floors… yeah it is not one of the tallest nor biggest in the world, but that was not his goal, at the time it was a matter of safety, they were already keeping the goods nearby…"

"Few years before the construction Armand was already looking for a place to build a supercomputer, were a dam could fit, the surprising part was the chosen country, later, the trickery happened; Armand said he was gathering goods, reconstructing a fallen city, but in fact few weeks later, once the gangs started to be pushed away, people realized he was building the tower…"

"It is a cool view, to be honest I prefer this tower than the rest being built, perhaps the one in the east is just as interesting, but there is more to be seen here in regards of how Armand used his tech to make it, take it all in, it is nearly the time, and while we wait I will tell you the story of the architect…"

– ujum…

– What? Too tight?

– No, it is okay sis… looks good… Armand sent me a message, he wants me to go talk with people, about work… do I really need all of this? The other arm worked just fine, the nerve sensor wasn't that restrictive, and now I need to do two things to make one thing and then do another, is to many steps… it looks funny tho, to show the camera a movement to mirror… perhaps add the nerve sensor too for simple tasks…or add a light scanner bracelet. – Thy had lost his arm ten years ago to an infection on his wrist, first it was his hand, as the infection took hold, he decided to cut his arm bellow the elbow; and after a few months of self-treatment the infection was gone with the arm.

– Try it for a while, I want to know how it works first before adding anything else… before adding any nerve sensor, it is not only mimicking your other hand, but the action presented in front of you… I think I managed to enhance the sensitivity, but try it like this for the moment…

– You are the expert sis; I feel like a robo-warrior or something, Lily told me about a show they are watching, of these colorful heroes with all these high-tech weapons… wait, have you been talking to the girls? What are you three up to? Is it for their birthday?...

– Let me check the configuration, give me that screen, the forearm already has an operating system, an extra battery and a memory bank, you only add the screen to make work the arm… or the warrior shield! Hahaha…

– I knew it! You want me to play dress up for the girls… damn, it looks amazing… what can it do?

– It can display any 3D design, a shield, a cannon light, a face… hence, we need the extra battery, once it depletes, then the bars join, and we add a light sword!

– Amazing! But stop using me as your toy! Taking advantage on a disabled person… it hurts, you were supposed to be good persons, but then you use your own brother as an entertainment, you are so evil…

– Says the guy who wants a hover board for his birthday, and hammer as a prosthesis hand… – Elaine developed a knack for destroying things when she was young, then went through an artistic phase that taught her how to build things, to then have them destroyed once they were finished, as she grew up she started fixing the machinery of the things she destroyed to cause even better destruction.

Only when she met her brothers and sisters, did she give up the destruction to stay with the creation. She first met Gisele, and Thy, who at the time had no name and no arm, but sharp eyes.

– I don't want that… I need one; the one that looks like a bigger hammer but is actually a toolbox… that is the dream; and it would make you the dream maker…

– At least give me a challenge… ask for a blow torch, or a hidden blade next time… juuoooh! Or a multi tool…

– Army knife! Change the forearm, twist it to select the option! It would be amazing… – his expression changed just as fast, after all he no longer needed to be on his toes all the time, just alert.

– But… we are no longer living in a ghost town… or the limbo; thanks for this sis; it is perfect actually… Lily will love it, they haven't been able to move away from hero stories yet, how did you find them?

– As usual, still quiet, still to wrapped up into the outside world story… – Elaine said while checking the hand connection before adding it to the new forearm prosthesis on Thy's left arm and look for any glitch.

– But afraid to look up; yeah, I saw it too; and I re-saw it on me the other day… – Thy saw Elaine with a smile when she looked for his eyes.

– How come? – She looked at her brother surprised, she thought he was trying to probe at her thoughts, after all she had been putting extra hours to be able to see Lily more often, since they were the younger of the lot.

– In how I stopped thinking of me, and just went to meeting after meeting, helped some people, did Armand's work, and will have to do it again tomorrow, I see the girls, try to talk with Gisele, only to find out that I'm just going through the motion, like I used to do when I was in ghost town, eat, poop, read, sleep, pee, and repeat, here is the same way but with more steps in between.

– That's fair… I must admit that your arm has been the only me project I have been doing outside the work stuff… but then again this is fun, isn't it fun to you? I remember a kid who came up with a story to tell Lily when their bags got lost during a robbery and managed to attract the attention of every kid outside of the police station by adding tricks and a silly dancing…

– Fair too, but that only got me an ego boost, I don't see myself going back into performing…

– That is because you are doing it for the wrong reasons… – Elaine pulled out a space black helmet and a fancy cosplay belt.

– No way on earth I will put that on… I'm leaving before you pull out the spandex and boots.

– Wait, I promise no tights, I can get my hands on a space suit, and we can put some flare to it…

– Okay, but no silly script.

– You are the silly bits of the whole thing.

– Ha Ha… oh that reminds me, how are things going with your bosses, I'm working on the title for a thesis "leaving Adan and Eve, welcome Neverland". – Thy stood up to get ready to leave, but he remembered Elaine had problems with her bosses, it was true that the smarter they were, people don't see her as a woman, now they see her just as a little child out of kinder garden, and by the looks of it, it would not change any time soon, after all, reaching their age would be impossible, meeting them eye to eye proved to be just as hard.

– Good title, very real; but you need to hurry up on the writing… they moved from calling me pup, to calling me kiddo; and I tried to do my work and more as you said…

– Then try something else, a new project, of your own, the arm looks cool, and I feel your heart in it… thank you sis.

– Shut up and go now… haha.

– Okay, okay, thanks for the update… will keep you updated, bye sis –Thy moved back while looking at his sister, but she just nodded and got back to work in her favorite bench at her workshop at the bottom of the vase.

As he moved out of the engineering floor and stood outside near the railing where he could see the sphere above. – Alright, show me the request.

–North western team; Edd, good worker, KL, intense but knows his stuff… oh she passed the tests… very interesting team… no problems… Armand is not going to like what I will find out… oh she has a channel…
