16 Meeting

Over the short period of time, Zong Fang was in this new world, The Bridge Project personnel accomplished a great deal of work.

VICKI was also able to change the communication platform from just voices to holographic imaging.

Closing his eyes, Kong Fang was able to see everyone in the meeting room as if he were there.

Those in the meeting room installed a holographic projector and were also able to see a representative image of Kong Fang.

Representative image, because if they actually saw Kong Fang as he was they merely saw a youth sitting in the lotus position with his eyes closed.

Instead, they saw Kong Fang as they knew him, dressed in his armor and looking like a warrior king ready for battle.

Kong Fang looked at everyone and began the meeting, "Thank you, everyone, for meeting with me. I know these last few weeks have been difficult, but everyone has pulled together and performed above and beyond expectations.

We are all in a desperate situation right now, therefore, it is important that we remain united. Our fates are linked to one another. If your side fails I am forever trapped on this side of the bridge.

If my side fails, then the entire state of Kentucky will be flung into the new dimension. I feel the responsibility not to fail as much as everyone else.

One of the issues I face is my safety on this side. Until I am able to secure the bridge on this side, then the survival of the state of Kentucky, all of your lives, depends on my survival.

I am facing a challenge putting my survival at risk. This world I am in isn't a rule of laws like the world we come from. This is a world of survival of the fittest," he said.

"Survival of the fittest trope," has been activated VICKI quietly said.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Fang continued after being interrupted by VICKI's notice.

"I am too weak to guarantee my survival at the moment. Although this side of the bridge offers great power to the individual through mastering martial systems, the process takes time. My enemies, however, will not wait for me to slowly grow to a point where I can challenge them.

Therefore, I need to arm myself and use the genius of Earth to protect myself and overcome my enemies here.

In order for us to create some innovative technology for my use here, I will enact a plan to infiltrate the highest levels of command within the clan.

Once I have accomplished this mission I will have access to all information available to the clan regarding martial arts, manipulation of spirit energy, forging techniques, and other information.

As soon as I gather said materials, VICKI will send the data back here to help you with designing weapons and armor for me.

I have granted access to my armor blueprints and design notes to aid in creating analog technologies for my use here. Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty," said Kong Fang.
