One day before training with Revan on force powers and lightsaber combat forms, Jon Roberts was talking to Jay, Hera and Anna about what the colony needs.

We need to find mines on Sanctuary for lime, coal, and raw metals... Open up farms and fruit fields to grow native plants, and build closed hydroponic farms to grow rice, wheat, corn, potatoes and other crops brought by the Mothership.

We need to build factories such as steel factories, cement factories, sewage treatment plants, power stations, metal extractions, parts processing plants and so much more.

There are also roads being built, ground is being prepared for the spaceport, and pipelines and fiber optic cables are being laid.

And the most difficult step- sewage. Because on this primitive ecological planet, it is very difficult to plan how to discharge and plan the waste and wastewater generated by factories, as well as domestic sewage.

The biggest problem is that 95% if the surface area of Sanctuary is the sound, so most of the water bodies are underground, which also brings great difficulties to sewage discharge. The modular sewage treatment plants carried on the Mothership have limited processing capacity, and the problem now is that more and larger sewage treatment plants need to be built...

Moreover, Jon Roberts now has an inexplicable feeling for this planet. After all, when he awakened the force, he breathed the air here and felt his own nature. He did not want to destroy the beautiful scenery here. Even speaking, it has become a kind of fetter.

So, one time when he went to inspect the colony and saw that the residents were building sewage pipes, Jon Roberts suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After returning to the mothership, he began to discuss a very serious issue with Hera Clement very seriously: he began to explain his plan, he planned to build a giant excrement collector on the hill ten miles from the colony to collect all the sewage and excrement and then use the excrement and sewage to be made into fertilizer for the farms, fruit fields, and hydroponics.

It is not unfounded for him to think so, because he remembers using horse excrement to make fertilizer and use it for plants in the fields growing up as a kid with his grandparents.

However, Clement was surprised that Jon Roberts thought of using the excrement to make fertilizer and no one else had thought about doing that.

In addition, seasonal issues must also be considered. What if the feces in the excrement collector froze in the winter? So, you still need a heating device, right? This is all cost!

In order to strengthen her persuasiveness, Clement also grabbed Jade Turner, a Bioengineer who was eating, to explain that Jade Turner was innocent, although she immediately vomited out the lunch she had just been eating after hearing this topic, she still thought about what Clement and Jon Roberts were talking about, and tried to help Jon Roberts convince Hera Clement.

Seeing that this road was going to work, Jon Roberts, who had already entered a state of bewilderment, asked them how many water purification plants would be needed to repeatedly purify the excrement water into drinking water.

It is still necessary to come up with a conclusion on this interesting topic, so they continued to discuss for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that it is really possible to make a giant excrement collector, in fact, it is a super sewage water, although the cost of the processing center is a bit high, it seems that it can really solve the problem of sewage on this planet, which is mostly groundwater.

Of course, the sewage collection device cannot be built on the planet, otherwise, it will be fun once the embankment bursts, the sewage would flood the area around where the treatment plant is located.

Jon Roberts made a decision immediately, and every city in the future will have to repair the central excrement collector! These concentrated manures can not only be used for fertilization after treatment but also maintain law and order, when necessary, can't they?

They finally decided to create a Ministry of Public Health to deal with this stuff. When making this decision, Jon Roberts had no idea that he had created the most terrifying department in the history of the galaxy.

However, Jon Roberts quickly broke away from this interesting topic. At this moment, he was stirring a bowl of pasty chocolate with a spoon contentedly, eating a spoonful from time to time, while chatting with a newly awakened elite Sociologist to discuss a very important topic.

There were no snacks on the mothership, so Jon Roberts could only use these semi-finished things to satisfy his tongue.

"Commander, what we have to consider now is the cohesion of the colony? At present, we are not large, and everyone is around you, which is very good. But if we continue to develop, this is not enough, you take a look at my proposal..." The sociologist named Norris Barry said to Jon Roberts earnestly.

At this time, Lydia Clarke, who was carrying a lunch box, passed by, saw Jon Roberts and said casually: "Ah, you are here, Commander, by the way, there is one thing, the analysis of the infrared laser weapon is going very smooth, we should be able to finish ahead of time. We will conduct our first weapons test this afternoon, are you going?"

"Ah, no problem, I will go in the afternoon." Jon Roberts replied, we completed the preliminary analysis of the infrared laser weapon in just over a week, and he felt that he should praise her with a few words, but he suddenly got stuck and didn't know what to say. What, so he picked up the pasty chocolate in his hand and said to Lydia Clarke, "Do you want to eat it?"

Seeing this bowl of sticky brown objects that Jon Roberts stirred into a spiral shape, Lydia Clarke's face darkened, and she quickly refused, "Uh, no, I don't have much of an appetite..."

"Ah, what a pity, this is quite delicious." Jon Roberts shook his head regretfully, stirred in the bowl again, then scooped out a large spoonful of sticky food and put it in his mouth to eat.

Lydia Clarke's face turned from black to green, and she didn't want the boxed lunch is her hand anymore, so she turned and ran away covering her mouth.

Jon Roberts then turned to Norris Barry and said: "Norris what do you think that the colony and our people need?"

"I think history and a sense of belonging." replied Norris Barry.

"Once you get done eating, I want you to figure everything out and meet me in my office tomorrow morning." Jon Roberts said.

Jon Roberts left the lunchroom after telling Norris Barry that and went up to the Command Center.

When Jon Roberts arrived at the Command Center. He called Yamamoto, Kara Grant, Jason Davidson, and Han Yan to discuss ways to defend their space and help the starfighters.

"Has anyone thought about was to defend our space and help our starfighters in case we are attacked?" Jon Roberts said.

Yamamoto asked: "Why do we need help to defend our space, if we have Interceptors and Fleet Bombers?"

"Cause we don't want to lose to many people because we don't have that many people to begin with." Jon Roberts replied.

Jon Roberts looked to the four of them and said: "What about building weapon platforms to help our starfighters, Are there any defense stations in the database?"

The four then started looking for defensive weapon platforms in the database and were comparing them with each other.

"Admiral Yamamoto what do you think of these two weapon platforms?" Jason Davidson asked.

Jason Davidson then show Admiral Yamamoto and the other three the Erőd-class orbital weapon platform and Moncton-class orbital weapon platform.

Kara Grant then asked: " What about the gauss defense platform in the file under the heading {Sins}?"

Han Yan asked: "What about the Aegis orbital defense platform?"

Jon Roberts and Admiral Yamamoto looked at the four different orbital defense platforms and started talking to each other and reading the documents about each of them.

"The Erőd-class orbital weapon platform relied upon separate ground-based generators for their power. This Achilles heel ultimately proved their downfall during the space battles. The Moncton-class, unlike its cousin in the Erőd-class, was built with an on-board power source. As well as a fusion reactor, the lower stalk of the station was composed of stacked liquid-metal capacitors, which allowed for the rapid firing of its MAC so long as there is charge in their cells. If the reactor is damaged, the docking umbilicals could parasitically leach charge off a docked UNSC warship to power its weapon.

The Aegis orbital defense platforms were Earthforce's last line of defense and were a major component in Earth planetary defense grid.

The platforms feature an array of medium and long-range missiles as well as an extremely powerful particle beam weapon. On its own, a single Aegis has enough firepower to wipe out the entire eastern seaboard of North America. Collectively, the planetary defense grid has the potential to level up to 40% of the Earth's populated surface using its particle beam weaponry.

The Gauss Defense Platform is a very versatile defense platform that is meant to guard areas around a planet. Its range can be upgraded through the upgrade Highly Conductive Rails and Burst Rockets, which gives the Gauss Defense Platform an Area of Effect (AoE) ability that deals damage to units around it." 

Yamamoto looked at Jon Roberts after reading all four files and said: "Erőd-class orbital weapon platform is a no go, and the other three will do but Moncton-class orbital weapon platform will take a long time to build. The other tow we can probably have a few made in a couple of weeks around the same time as the infrared laser weapons."

Jon Roberts looked at the four of them and said: "Get it done. Wake up anyone that you need in the normal and elite classes to help you complete enough so we are not defenseless."

All four of them replied: "Yes Commander!"
