Chapter 3 planning

“I only let you win so don't act proud of yourself, it’s nothing to be proud of, it was sheer luck,” said the guy. “Admit that you love pain and love getting your *** whooped by a girl,” said Kaeya as she laughed at him. “I admit nothing, you got some nerves, girl for saying that with a straight face,” said the guy as he got in front of her face. “The little dog has the guts to stand up to his master,” said Kaeya as she squeezed his face and pierced the side of his cheek. “I’m no one's dog, get that straight in your head and you being 2nd rank is a fluke,” said the guy as he kicked her in the stomach. “My, aren't we selfish, get yourself to the nurse or I might have fun kicking your *** in there, so you don't bother me all day,” said Kaeya as she walked off. “You don't even know my name and you call yourself 2nd rank and you can't remember the top 100 ranks,” said the guy. “Your name isn't important, will it get me anywhere by remembering it, no so yeah, and if it makes you feel better why don't you tell me your name,” said Kaeya as she stopped briefly to hear him out. My name is Orpheus Zelophehad as he looked at her. “I heard you out, now if you excuse me I have a class to attend,” said Kaeya as she left. “Wow, I didn't think you heard him out for once,” said Daemon as he closed his book. “He’s hopeless and useless and he has no manners,” said Kaeya as they went to class. “Watch your back the next time we meet,” said Orpheus as he went to the nurse. “He thinks he can beat me, I won't be losing to him any time soon,” said Kaeya as she focused on her assignments. “Let’s see how the future goes for the world,” said Daemon as he worked on his assignment. The day went by as fast as it started and they all headed to the club. They called the club Meridian and Daemon decided to go with that name. “Now can I have everyone's attention? This meeting is about how we plan for the future of a new society but it takes a lot of planning,” said Daemon as he took a deep breath. “Since all of us are from countries it is better if you all would govern your area but all of you will keep in contact with me, I will be the main one ruling and you guys are my equal to the end of our lives,” said Daemon. “Sounds fair but are you sure no one will get in your way,” said Sylvie. “I’ll be able to handle that with all of your help,” said Daemon. “What if the governments get in your way, how will you handle them?” said Penelope. “That's a good question to ask, I made some designs to make androids which will help us protect children from abuse from some teachers,” said Daemon. “That's all good but what if they go out of control and the function goes haywire, what do you plan to do about it,” said Kaeya. “Cousin, I have a plan, It’s called looking into their coding and making no errors and they will be tested a lot of times before being shown to the world,” said Daemon. “I can help you make the androids but what do you want them to do?” said Ji-Hu as he gave him a curious look. “To protect the innocents and the children who did no wrong and to fight against anyone that goes against me,” said Daemon. “Seems easy to do,” said Ji-Hu as he began to make the program with his laptop. “I will also be helping you with this since we have to make them, so they don't turn against us,” said Daemon. “Won’t it be hard to control people because they're not the easiest to deal with,” said Omari as he calmly looked at Daemon. “The only way to show who’s boss is to take the head of the president they look up to and we take their precious light source,” said Daemon. “Amazing plan but we have to time this perfectly or it won’t work,” said Ai as she looked at everyone. “If you don't act soon the world might fall apart because of the idiot president we have,” said Stern. “We can't just act as if we can walk to their face and say hey were going to take your position and kick them out just like that,” said Azura. “Hey, why is no one asking what if someone takes your place and kills you?” said Chien. “I’m not letting anyone take it or kill me for it and that dimwit it will be easy in no time,” said Daemon. “The future is uncertain but we won't know unless we try,” said Clover. “What else did we need to know to improve,” said Anong. “All of you will relax, we’ll discuss things later, we have a lot to do and we have to write what the club does, we don't want to get disbanded for not explaining what our club does,” said Daemon. “We have to hide the fact that we are using this club to rearrange this world so we are telling them this is a historical club and it’s not lying we are studying the past and different parts of the world,” said Kaeya. “Sounds fine but that would mean extra work for all of us,” said Sylvie. “Now onto the next thing is coding since we didn't get to finish talking about it,” said Ji-Hu. “The androids will have to be guarded, they have a mind of their own but were not foolish enough to let them rampage like monsters,” said Jaw-Long. “We will work on the androids and coding,” said Daemon as he quickly drew the design and devised a plan. “Whoa that's some planning you came up with and you did the android's design,” said Azura as she glanced at the design. “Azura, since you’re good with clothing I want to leave you in charge of giving them a unique design for them to wear,” said Daemon. “Leave that up to me then, I will show you the sketches of the design I came up with myself,” said Azura. “What else will today's meeting be about?” said Kaeya. “Not that much, It’s all about coordinating our plans, but I do need you to pick up some tools I left in my locker, It can be heavy so be sure to ask someone here to help you,” said Daemon. “More of your heavy lifting, great and can't someone help me with this,” said Kaeya. “I’ll help you out on that,” said Chien as he walked with her to the locker. “We all have our part to do, so move along, and thanks,” said Daemon as he continued to work on the plans along with Jaw-Long and Ji-Hu. “This must be the locker and he said this is the code,” said Kaeya as she opened the locker and saw how big the machine was. “He really needs to choose his words carefully, this machine weighs a ton,” said Kaeya as she tried to carry it out independently before asking for any help. “I’ll go get the hand truck dollies, It might be impossible to carry it back to the club room without breaking our back and our club is upstairs on the 3rd floor,” said Chien. “Not trying to complain here but he really needs to choose the right person for the job,” said Kaeya as she gently placed it on the ground. Chien came back with a hand truck dollies. “I’ll help you lift it on her and you can carry the wires and small laptops, I will push this back, so you don't have to do that much,” said Chien. “How nice of you, Chien, that you would help me out,” said Kaeya as she gathered the remaining things. They headed to the elevator. “We're back so how's the planning going,” said Kaeya as she and Chien placed the stuff down. “It’s going well, I think by tomorrow we’ll be able to build them, we just do not know how to do the skins yet but, it won't be too long until we find out how to copy to replicate skins just like us and they will have all different sorts of skins so there will be no discrimination,” said Daemon. “Oh that will be amazing to see,” said Chien as he looked at the designs. “Will they be able to move around or do you have a small prototype to show us,” said Kaeya. “Oh we did make a small one,” said Daemon as he took the cloth off of the small android. “This one has a cute appearance doesn't it,” said Ji-Hu. “We made this little one here to help us to see if anything goes wrong when we make a bigger one,” said Jaw-Long. “So cute, what's the name you guys plan to give it,” said Ai. “We haven't thought that far yet, and thanks for suggesting that,” said Ji-Hu as he looked at all of the programs they placed in the little android. “It’s your call, you should be the one to name it, Daemon,” said Jaw-Long. Daemon held the little android in his hand and tried to think of a name that would fit it. “Artemis is a good name, so what do you all think,” said Daemon as he looked at everyone. It’s a great name as they all agreed at the same time. “Now let’s set up the equipment since Kaeya and Chien brought them back,” said Jaw-Long as he separated the wires. “How on earth did you fit this machine in there and when did you place it there?” said Kaeya as she stared at him. “Don't have to stare at me hard, I’ll tell you. It’s simple, I secretly came here at night and placed it in my locker, which was already big,” said Daemon. “The second part sounds about right but the first one seems like a joke,” said Kaeya as she looked at the machine. “Fine you got me, I told the school that it was a project and they said it was fine to bring it here,” said Daemon. “Now that sounds better than that joke you told me,” said Kaeya as she walked away to study since she had to help Daemon out. “Let's see what else Artemis can do?’ said Ji-Hu as he gathered everything to test Artemis' intelligence. “What do we teach him first,” said Jaw-Long as he glanced at the things placed on the table. “Let’s start with basic things like math, reading, and also understanding others' feelings just by hearing them out and responding to them with honest options,” said Daemon as he grabbed the math problem and placed it in front of Artemis. “Try solving it,” said Ji-Hu as he gave him the pencil. Artemis picked up the pencil and started solving each math problem one by one and finished it in 5 minutes. “Wow what a record, let's see what grade we will give you for this,” said Jaw-Long as he looked at the answers and handed them to Ji-Hu to look at. “Now that's impressive but he needs to learn more before we even think of making more like him,” said Daemon as he gave the sheet of paper a look as well. They all gave Artemis his score which is a 100 and he got excited and jumped on their shoulder, showing them his gratitude. “Aw Artemis no need to thank us you were the one who answered the questions right, now onto the next thing on the list,” said Daemon. “Hey everyone, I finished the report, so I’m heading out to give this to them,” said Kaeya as she left. They all thanked her and went back to their studies. “Well if it isn’t rank 2 Kaeya walking in the hall instead of studying for our big exams to rank us, I will soon win your spot,” said Orpheus as he appeared next to her. “Oh, I’m here on important matters, and as for studying I finished a while back, and I won’t be losing that spot any time soon,” said Kaeya as she glared at him. “We will see how long that rank will be yours,” said Orpheus as he walked away grinning. “How troublesome but I got to give them this before their office hours end,” said Kaeya as she rushed off. “Here is our report from the club,” said Kaeya as she handed the office lady the reports. She checked over it, nodded her head, and told Kaeya that every month they have to submit a report about club activities. Kaeya understood and headed back to the club room and informed them about the report and they all agreed that they take turns doing the reports. “It seems that Artemis understands others' feelings but he still needs work, this is a major progress that will lead us closer to our goal,” said Daemon. “Tomorrow we will start building our first big android and Artemis will guide him and her and teach them what they should and shouldn't do,” said Jaw-Long. “Everyone club is dismissed, see you all tomorrow,” said Kaeya as she waved goodbye to them. “Now let’s clean and head out ourselves,” said Daemon as he dusted the shelves and Kaeya cleaned up the books and placed them away. “All done, are you ready to leave now?” said Kaeya as she washed her hands. “I'm done, you're the slow poke here,” said Daemon as he started laughing. “Watch it, you can’t keep joking around, let’s go since we're both done,” said Kaeya. “It’s a joke, don’t take it seriously,” said Daemon as they walked home joking with each other. “Tomorrow is going to be a busy day and we're having exams,” said Kaeya as she exhaled. “You studied hard didn't you, so don’t feel so down, I heard from that low-life Orpheus that he was going to steal your 2nd place title,” said Daemon. “He wishes but in the end, he’s a sore loser and why isn't he challenging your 1 rank title,” said Kaeya.
