A week before Aron received his payments.

While the payments will arrive a week later the negotiations were completed two weeks ago, so almost all the companies spent a week at maximum to patch their weaknesses in their programs.

This means that it has been a week since someone's normal day to day life has been messed up.

Bluffdale, Utah

The NSA's Utah Data Center

This week has been like hell to those who are working here, because one after another almost 17 data collection points have been blocked. This meant that they completely lost access to almost all social media sites.

This wasn't good, because some departments are sorely there to collect and analyze data from these sites. This meant that they lost almost their whole functionality in a span of a month.

This all started by the loss of access to Facebook's data, and while they were trying to solve one, another seventeen rose beside it.

    While Aron was waiting for his lawyer to finish the process of founding the company he had already convinced Sarah to be his companies CEO. She agreed immediately after Aron showed an example by using the app to vulnerability check Fanbase.com website, after the results came he hacked the site and managed to get admin access by following all the steps that were showed by the app's subscription version. .... When Sarah saw what the app can do the gear's in her head were turning like jet engines, Although she was not an engineer, she knew the importance of cyber security better than anyone because in the past she suffered hell when she messed with Aron and he decided to mess with her, that became a good lesson to her and she started taking Aron's advice seriously when it came to cyber security.

    Two weeks Later.White house.In the Oval room the National Security Committee was in a meeting to hear about the findings of their investigation on the app.Usually things such as these are handled by their respective departments, and if the respective department project needed something outside their operative jurisdiction they all just have to settle it between them. But today's meeting was set due to the insistence of the DNI Director as he said it was capable of changing one of the branches in their current warfare. Hence the meeting was settled."Sir, after our short testing of the app, we managed to discover more than a million weaknesses on the current NSA systems and programs in our test servers." Said James Clapper (Director of National Intelligence) who is also the head of Intelligence Community.He received a report and presentation from the NSA and he deemed it important for the National security of their country."When we installed the program in our test servers it star

    The email informed them that they have passed the assessment and they will be returning to the negotiation table, but they will be negotiating not as America but as Nato. So, they gave them a week of preparation time to prepare for the negotiations.When Sarah read the email she was happy that they passed the assessment although she was sure they will, but she also felt the pressure of negotiating such a big contract for the first time.So, she decided to attend the meeting but she will not be the head negotiator, that will be taken by the law Firm.She will be a spectator and only agree to the deal if they come to an agreement.

    Although it has been months, professor Rottem was still trying to regain his reputation in the circle.It wasn't working because her wife stopped helping her."That bitch, If it wasn't for her brother I would have slapped the shit out of her" shouted Rottem in his office as he reached the tipping point.Although he shouted that but he knew the moment he rose his hand to her he is considered dead."I mean you can't divorce me even if you want, it's not like I wanted to marry you anyway. Your fucking brother forced me.

  • CONNECT Board Meeting III

    {Robert Watson of Icarus Airlines, please proceed,}Their industry closely mirrored Hermes, with the key difference being that they transported people instead of cargo. However, their expansion potential was more limited—no matter how many ships or planes they added to their fleet, the number of travelers remained relatively consistent each year. Unlike Hermes, they also faced competition, as any company with ships meeting safety standards and proper permits could enter the passenger transport market.What set Icarus Airlines apart was its exclusive service offering trans-star system travel between the Solar System and the Alpha-Proxima Centauri system. Only a handful of companies were wealthy enough to purchase ships capable of such a journey.Despite the two-year-long trip, demand remained high, thanks to VR integration. Passengers spent the journey in VR pods, allowing them to continue their work and daily activities as usual, eliminating the need for extended leave. This feature m

  • CONNECT Board Meeting II

    Sarah began her report by presenting the financial performance of GAIA Technologies over the last fiscal year. As expected, revenues continued to grow, though at a slower pace compared to the early years following the empire's formation. The initial surge in demand had been followed by a second resurgence when the Proximians were integrated into the empire, but even that had now reached a saturation point.This was an anticipated trend—GAIA Technologies' products were so widely adopted that nearly every citizen in the empire owned at least one. The VR device, in particular, was practically mandatory, given how deeply the universal simulation had been integrated into society, offering access to countless benefits and services.One key area of financial opportunity had been the universal simulation itself, where real-world currency was allowed for transactions. Many companies had capitalized on this, leading to substantial profit avenues. However, Sarah and Aron had made a conscious dec

  • CONNECT Board Meeting

    [A/N: I encountered some immigration issues, which made it difficult to write during that period. My apologies for the delay.]A few days later…The board meeting of Connect Enterprise, the parent company overseeing eight powerful subsidiaries, was about to commence. The subsidiaries presidents of —GAIA Technologies, Inc.; Helios Energy & Utility, Inc.; Hephaestus Industries and Manufacturing, Inc.; Hermes, Inc.; Plutus Ventures, Inc.; Icarus Airlines, Inc.; Asclepius Biotechnology, Inc.; and Coeus Foundation—had all gathered for this crucial discussion.Before the formation of the empire, ARES Security Solutions, Inc. would have been included in such a meeting. However, since its integration into the imperial government as one of the three major ministries under direct imperial oversight, it had fully transitioned from a private security firm to the official Imperial Army. Now operating under the governmental structure, its reporting lines followed those of ministries and agencies,

  • Gathering of Friends

    “It’s been a while since we had a real outing instead of a virtual one,” Felix remarked, taking a sip from a plain, unbranded can that looked like it had just come off the assembly line.“If not for the countermeasures put in place, you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference,” Sarah replied, mirroring his actions as she drank from an identical can. She glanced toward Aron, who was seated with them, his eyes fixed on the ceiling of the small open-roofed resting hut, lost in thought. “Besides, he’s been buried in his research for what seemed to be decades in VR time. With a mountain of discoveries still waiting for him, I doubt he even realizes how much time has passed.”Noticing that Aron remained unresponsive, seemingly unaware of their conversation, Sarah smirked. Without hesitation, she pressed her cold drink against his cheek. The sudden chill jolted him slightly, making him blink in surprise as she teased, “Your Highness, we’re talking to you.”Aron exhaled sharply before st

  • Trade Hub

    Near Pluto’s orbit, a massive space station was in the final stages of construction. Only the finishing touches and full-scale testing remained before it could officially open for use and visitation by imperial citizens.Spanning nearly a thousand kilometers in diameter—about a third of the Moon’s size—the station looked nothing like a natural satellite. Its sleek, glossy exterior was adorned with enormous glass panels, each manufactured in space. These panels stretched for kilometers in length and width, and hundreds of meters in thickness, allowing light to pass through effortlessly. Yet, they weren’t just for aesthetics. Equipped with advanced safety features, the glass could filter heat and radiation while controlling the amount of light passing through in a precise five-centimeter grid, ranging from full transparency to complete blackout. Additionally, they were reinforced to withstand asteroid impacts, a testament to the station’s durability and the prestige of its purpose.This

  • STARGATE Dressing Rehearsal

    Aron sat before a stack of papers containing the final experiment data. Though he was in the universal simulation, he liked to switch up how he processed information, avoiding fatigue from relying on a single medium—especially since he spent what amounted to centuries conducting experiments in accelerated simulation time.{From the tests, it works as expected,} Nova, his ever-present assistant, stated once she was sure he had finished reviewing the data."I know, but let’s do a real full-dress rehearsal," Aron replied, lifting his gaze from the papers.He always insisted on a full-scale trial before declaring any research complete. Unlike the universal simulation, where things could be conjured at will, the real world required careful logistical considerations. Even a flawless design could become an operational nightmare if mobilization wasn’t accounted for.{Okay,} Nova acknowledged, and in an instant, they both vanished from the lab, reappearing in the vast emptiness of space, far f

  • Discussion and Finalizations

    It took Nyx several hours to sift through the vast amount of data collected before she was ready to deliver her findings.“Using the asteroid field as a natural cosmic phenomenon to mask the wormhole’s opening worked in our favor. As far as we can tell, no one in the vicinity detected it,} Nyx stated as she began her report.A scientist in the room frowned. "There were people where we opened the wormhole? What are the odds of that?"Nyx responded immediately.“While the natural occurrence of life in the galaxy is rare, remember that we are infiltrating Conclave territory. Intelligent life is abundant here. Furthermore, asteroid fields serve as valuable resource hubs for spacefaring civilizations, which greatly increases the likelihood of encountering activity.}As she spoke, the room’s environment transformed, shifting into a massive asteroid field—a direct projection of the data collected. Nyx had opted to show rather than tell, planning to let the simulation play before diving into

  • Tempting Fate

    Crack!Had there been air to carry the sound, that would have been the noise echoing through space. Instead, there was only silence as the fabric of space fractured—a jagged crack forming for the briefest of moments.A small, round object emerged, slipping through the gap before it sealed itself shut, leaving no trace of its existence. The only evidence that anything had occurred was the lone sphere, now drifting amid the vastness of space.Roughly the size of a football, the sphere remained still for only a moment before it came to life. It scanned its surroundings, finding itself deep within an asteroid field, surrounded by tumbling rocks and frozen comet nuclei.Without hesitation, the object accelerated, weaving through the chaotic debris field with ease and with no visible propulsion method. Tiny blue sparks flickered from its surface each time it passed near an asteroid or an icy fragment, scattering briefly before fading into nothingness.It was collecting data.Its movement fo

  • The Test II

    Yaloria’s gaze shifted to the battery status display. Despite the intensity of the fight so far, only about one percent of the mana battery’s energy had been expended—and even that was already nearly replenished.It was a stark contrast to the mechas she once piloted.The Yrall Coalition mechas were directly powered by their reactors, like plugging a device straight into a wall socket—efficient until something went wrong. If the reactor failed or was damaged, the mecha would instantly shut down, leaving its pilot stranded and vulnerable.But these mechas were different.Instead of drawing power directly from the fusion reactor, they ran on mana batteries—a buffer between the machine and its core power source. These batteries didn’t just store energy; they were constantly recharged by the reactor, keeping them at full capacity. More than that, they were embedded throughout the mecha’s frame, like blood flowing through a body, ensuring every part had immediate access to power.Even if t
