121 121 Expansion

It has been weeks since the battle on Enigma City ended. Tom, and Gerry are busy organizing and segregating the rest of the population of Enigma City.

According to final statistics, more than 2 million people died in the battle to take over Enigma City. Tom and the rest are surprised by the number of death they didn't expect to have that many casualties, and over 3 million are affected by drugs and undergoing withdrawals and treatment there are also over 6 million injured.

As the total population of Enigma City is over 30 million those are the registered citizen, and millions more are unregistered.

Tom decided to use the eastern part of Enigma City as a temporary relocation site for the citizens of Enigma City only those who don't commit any heinous crime are allowed to live there, as for those who committed immoral and heinous crimes are sent to temporary prison.

The prison are build outside Enigma City in the former temporary base of the Grand Army. Overall more than 30% of Enigma City is being used as temporary facilities to manage those citizens of Enigma City.

As for the Grand Army, 32 soldiers died and more than a thousand are wounded in the operation.

Luckily Grand Army Medical Solutions are very potent as long as one is not insta killed the Medical solutions are capable of healing even the most severe injuries, of course, the more severe the injuries the longer they need to be healed. Minor injuries like small cuts and burns heal in minutes so those that are injured are all back on their feet in just a matter of hours.

Arc was so shocked by the number of death he wasn't able to talk for a few hours, it took him half a day to calm down, none of his men disturb him as they know he must overcome those feeling by himself.

Arc decided to take a day off to really calm his nerve and settle his feeling after all just 2 years ago he was nothing more than a regular guy, in fact, he was even below regular. And now he was responsible for the death of over 2 million people this kind of feeling can't be trained in advance, and it will take a long time for him to truly get used to it.

Just a week ago Bell's funeral is held it was an emotional day for everyone in Shadow Unit, the ceremony is very simple few of Bells friends and acquaintances shared their experience with Bell, it was a sad and solemn day that even those that don't really know Bell couldn't help but shed tears as they listen to the story about Bell.

After that, a Huge Jet Black crystal-like monument is Erected in the Center of Shadow Unit HQ and Bell's name is written on it in Golden color. Bell's body was cremated and her Memory Chip was held and stored in the Grand Army Vault.

Over 50,000 Construction Droids is working nonstop to build the Grand Army Official HQ in Enigma City that would soon be renamed As Grand Fortress. It will be a base covering the whole Enigma City and More. There will also be 10 underground floors and a huge Subway and Tunnel will be built and which will connect Enigma City to the Outside world 450 kilometers to the Edge of the Pan Asian Alliance.

Grand Trading corporation built a small Base in there, the official reason or excuse is to gather Wasteland Materials. Since it's technically part of Wasteland and not part of any Government. Pan Asian Alliance Or PAA can't do anything about it.

It's a small closed Base that only Grand Trading Corporation Personnel are allowed to enter. Grand Trading Built many of these kinds of Small bases all over the world to mine and gather wasteland Materials, so PAA is not surprised when Grand Trading build another one near their Border.

In total Grand Trading Built Over 50 of this kind of Facility all over the world, many of them are really being used to gather or mine rare materials from the wasteland.

[A few days have passed.]

Today Arc is Meeting Leslie, Grand Daughter of Commander Markos. Apparently, she was responsible for handing over the Specter to Arc. Originally it was supposed to be handed a few weeks ago, but Arc Delayed it for he plans to complete the ceremony for Bell and the soldiers who died during the operation on Enigma City, so he told Commander Markos his departure to Liberty will be delayed for a few weeks.

Commander Markos didn't mind the delay and in fact quite happy about it, as it will give him enough time to improve and upgrade many outdated components of Specter.

Arc together with Tiffa and Dianna along with Jarvis are traveling to Liberty they are now on their way to HFA space station Leslie would be waiting for them in HFA Space Station where the Specter was docked temporarily.

This is the first time for Arc to travel to space, in fact, it's the first time for all of them. But only Arc and Tiffa look excited the rest only have a slight smile on their faces as they watch Arc and Tiffa looking around.

2 days ago when Arc sisters found out that Arc is going to space for business purposes Anna and Amy want to tag along, but Arc didn't Agree as they still have classes, but he promised he will take them for a vacation during their summer vacation. So the two reluctantly agreed the two maids and Cosmos would remain with them.

Arc boarded the VIP area on the Space elevator it's a room with 360 views of the outside it's a luxurious room that can fit 40 people without any problems there's a bar with all kinds of drinks a personal chef that can prepare all kind of dishes.

The travel time only took 25 minutes at a tourist speed. Normally it only takes 3 minutes for the space elevator to reach space from Earth grounds but in order for Arc to Enjoy his first travel into space, he requested a slow ascend for him to enjoy his first travel to space.

As the space elevator ascends Arc and Tiffa are looking around, but soon there's nothing more to see but endless cloud but as they reach the atmosphere the views completely change,

he can't remember how many times he saw these views in videos but looking at the video is nothing compared to experiencing it himself soon the feeling of weightlessness appeared, and it is a wonderful feeling he couldn't describe it, but the sensation didn't last long as the artificial gravity is slowly activating to prevent sudden fall…

In just a few minutes the gravity is back to normal, the view is breathtaking Ark saw a huge Space station with many spacecraft docked in it. All kinds of spacecraft can be seen coming and going in the space stations big and small the biggest is 5 times the size of a football station and the smallest only the size of bus.

As Arc and his companion reach the HFA space station they were welcome by Lisa who is waiting for them.

"Hey, guys how's your first travel into space?" Ask Lisa smiling.

"Haha, not bad I like it." Said Arc with a huge smile on his face.

Tiffa no longer acting like a tourist and was now looking like a professional Secretary she's only acting like a kid when she was with Arc but if there are other people with them, she is back to being a professional Secretary. She wouldn't do anything that can destroy Arc's reputation.

The three of them Tiffa, Dianna, and Jarvis stand behind Arc.

Arc is only wearing casual clothes but during the past 2 years his complexion and vibes completely change with the effect of 2-Star enhancement almost all impurities in his body have been flushed away, so his skin looks so smooth, and he looks more handsome and with his well-trained body, he looks like a ladykiller.

Even a male supermodel can't compare to him especially the aura he's projecting even though he can control most of his aura but some of it unintentionally leaked out without him noticing especially when he is in a good or bad mood.

The people behind Lisa look at Arc with shining eyes especially the girls and the guys couldn't help but be jealous.

"Hi, Lisa how are you? I haven't got the chance to thank you for accepting my request to look for Spacecraft you even got me a one of a kind special Spacecraft."

"Haha, don't thank me I didn't really do anything it's all uncle I mean Admiral Ford doing." Said Lisa, she was happy to be able to help Arc even a little.

"No, no it's all because of you if you didn't tell Admiral Ford, Commander Markos wouldn't found out about it. So thank you." Arc said smiling at Lisa.

Lisa blushes a little and said. "Your welcome" after that they made their way to the dock where Leslie is waiting for them.
