(Important Ed Note: This entire chapter is in conversation form. So just imagine that with each name that spouts in front of a paragraph is referring to the person talking. I could go into alot of work to make it even better to read but this should be enough. Will get to the other chapters soon)
Jacob
Hey Max can you give me an update? Also what do you think about starting SGMC and SGE in space maybe on the moon? That will keep the earth’s governments away from us and make it easier to secure. The only stuff I want planet side are the defense stations and maybe a spaceport, but all that needs to be controlled completely, not under earth’s governments.
Max (Bound/Jacob)
Everything is going well up here the girls have told me there is no issues with them as well. That is the most logical thing to do concerning SGMC and SGE both. With a base on the moon or in space we will be able to train and manufacture all that is needed and secure all technology and equipment without worry of losing any to individuals or a government. I think we will need a space port planet side to make cargo and personnel transfers a lot faster and more economical.
Jacob
Okay let's start that we do have all the required material to start building a base with a training complex but do we have enough to set up a small industrial complex as well? I know we used a lot of mining bots to gather a lot of material but i do not know if it will be enough. If it is go ahead and start that so when we start getting personal we can get up and operational as soon as possible. Let the girls know the plan so if they want to add anything and we can afford to do so let's do it. If you want anything added go ahead and add that as well.

Max (Bound/Jacob)
We do have enough material for both and a few small projects as well, but we will need to go back to the Oort Cloud for more resources after that. So we can have material to start producing military and consumer equipment. The construction process will take around 3 weeks maybe longer if we run into any problems with materials but we have to have around 6 weeks to train the training personnel and the leadership of SGMC.
Jacob
Okay let's go ahead and get that going it will make all of this a lot smoother to get operational. Got to go, it looks like Dan is coming out to talk to me so just shoot me the updates on what is going on and how it is going please.
Max (Bound/Jacob)
Understood Jacob I will get started on the base and industrial complex on the moon. Using the construction bots and technology available without making more bots will take 3 weeks we can reduce that time from making a few more bots but it will not speed it up more than a few days. If they don’t have any issues while construction is going on it may help get it back on schedule but they will be more useful to us in any future projects even in ship construction.
Jacob
Okay go ahead and make 6 more i got to go talk to you later.

Krista England
Okay dad, and I do understand that and I do agree that we should not betray him or the opportunity he is giving us and our family. I mean we will be in space, healthy, alien technology, traveling, fighting, and who knows what else. This is going to be so much fun! Hey do you think he will sleep with me?

Daniel "The Teacher" England
Krista! I am your father I do not want to hear about this or talk about this with you. Emily talk to your daughter please.
Emily England
Babe we both know what our daughter is like and she might really be thinking about this but she says it just to annoy you. Krista please do not annoy your father right now this is a big step for us. I for one do not know what I will be doing for this S.G.E. I think that was the acronym but still what will i be doing there? What is going to be available for me to do? I guess we will all figure this out as a family. Dan go ahead and tell Jacob we are interested.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Okay i will go ahead and talk to him, I will be back in a bit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacob
Hey Daniel how did the conversation go? I hope that you and your family did not fight about this.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Jacob we have talked about it and we all are in agreement that we want to come and join you my wife, Emily will try and find a job with S.G.E. while me and my daughter join S.G.M.C. Is there any problems with this?
Jacob
No that sound like a plan to me when do you want to move up to the S.C. and start your medical treatment and your training?
(Ed Noted: Not Sure If S.C. is a good word for it. Might want to leave it as a full name.)
Daniel "The Teacher" England
We can be packed and ready in 2 days we have been planing on moving for a while anyway.
Jacob
Okay let's do this.
Hey Max can you get everything ready for the England family to move to the S.C. for their medical treatment and training within the next 2 days?
Max (Bound/Jacob)

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

The VocaLords
Gumi and her best friend Miku front a rock band called The VocaLords. Using her cherrywood Les Paul guitar as a weapon against evil, Gumi also pursues a more pressing agenda -- sending deserving souls to Hell where they belong. Everything starts going wrong when VioLinja -- a violinist with a God Complex -- is allowed to join the band. A very big God Complex. Thanks to VioLinja, Gumi must set Hell loose upon the world she sought to save. Alone and half alive, without her bandmates or her best friend, Gumi struggles to contain the havoc VioLinja wreaks. Things start going right when a mysterious, sea-faring man who goes by the acronym of T.O.P. comes to Gumi's rescue. Aboard his research ship in the Sea of Okhotsk, T.O.P. helps Gumi prepare for her final battle against VioLinja's reign of terror. * * * * * * * * * * * * The VocaLords is written as if it were a series of thirty minutes animes. Each Episode will consist of a sixty second teaser, followed by three to five chapters of about ten minutes reading time apiece. Each Episode will also contain one or two songs I have written personally, with the lyrics incorporated into the storyline. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I have had with writing it.
