Chapter 2 Hope

GREN POV

So who am I?

My name is Gren and my full name is Greniso Bearon Gorant. I am the owner of the Bearog workshop. My life is pretty good; I have a good business, maybe because there are only 3 starship repair shops on this planet and 2 of them are owned by the lord, lord of this planet lord Lokos. And I have a beautiful wife and a good son. I am very happy to know my child was born safely and also my wife gave birth safely. My wife Caleena Evelin is my first love. I met her in my youth. We have been together for 15 years, it is a blessing in my life and he also helps in this workshop. Moreover, he gave me a child, Reins Bearon Gorant. Rein was a good kid, maybe a little too good for a kid. He was never fussy when he was a baby; can you imagine that, even after reaching school age he was very obedient and even diligent and liked to learn. And he also likes to help me in the workshop. I don't know why I can get blessings like this, so I will try harder for them.

When I was daydreaming, my son just came home or rather came to work. As usual he comes here every after school and helps me in the workshop and every job he completes I usually give him 1-5 Elyvians credit. He is very enthusiastic about doing his job. In the past, I used to be helped by a working droid, but after Rein was 6 years old he started to like helping in the shop, and he still is today.

[Hi dad, do you have any work for me?.]

[yeah it's a bit behind, you can go over there and help sort it out.]

[ok thanks dad]. and then he started walking to the back

Ah, such a good kid, okay, now time to get back to work.

Rein Pov

Here I am in my father's workshop; this workshop is quite large, maybe because it was made to accommodate spaceships. But this workshop belongs to the category for small sized spaceships. Why, because the size of the spaceship can reach 1000 and even 2000 meters. However, commercial vessels in remote areas like this are usually only 5 to 30 meters long. So my father's workshop, which has an area of about 5000 meters, is quite small.

It's been 11 years since I was born here. In a world that is quite interesting to me, with different technologies, aliens, and spaceships. Oh, btw Did you know that there is a difference between an aircraft and a spaceship? The difference is their ability to perform space jumps. Both can reach high speeds, but the aircraft does not have the means to perform a space jump. Because in this world there are only 2 ways to move from a planet or solar system to another planet or solar system, namely by using a gate or by a space jump. If the gate can instantly get to the destination while the space jump takes a long time depending on the distance, it can sometimes take months. And yes, my father's workshop also accepts aircraft work, because aircraft are still used for short-term travel between planets. At my dad's workshop we used some worker droids to do repairs, upgrades, and recalibrations. It made me think, why not use it for war equipment because they can work well, efficient, and not easily influenced by people. That's where I found the weak point. In this world the level of technology has reached a stagnant stage. Where to prevent hacking requires strong AI and it can't be implemented on all droids because it is inefficient and many gaps can be accessed.

I can't stop smiling when I think about this. Because I have many ideas and dreams. Dreaming of being the inventor of a breakthrough in technology, or maybe designing your own battleship, or might also be noble as I own my own planet. so many opportunities, so many paths, and so much hope. I hope my life will be interesting.
