A week later.
An article was published, followed by an announcement that caused ripples throughout the country and the world. The news spread like wildfire, capturing the attention of people from all walks of life. Speculation and anticipation mounted as everyone eagerly awaited further details about the groundbreaking revelation.
[(A Bold Move)
In a surprising turn of events, GAIA Technology, the global tech giant, has announced and initiated the process to change its registered country while simultaneously purchasing an entire island in Eden. This decision has ignited speculation regarding the undisclosed promises made by the president of the country to GAIA's CEO, Sarah, during her recent visit.
The news of GAIA Technology's intention to change its registered country and acquire an island in Eden has generated intrigue and excitement. However, not everyone has unanimously approved of this move. The government of the United States, GAIA's current registered country, seems to be less than thrilled about the company's imminent relocation.
Reports indicate that the U.S. government is actively trying to hinder the process and retain GAIA Technology within its jurisdiction. The exact reasons behind this opposition remain unclear, but speculation suggests concerns about the potential loss of a major tech player and the subsequent economic impact.
The unexpected decision by GAIA Technology has undoubtedly made waves in the tech industry and beyond. It remains to be seen how this bold move will unfold and what impact it will have on the global tech landscape.

Although the individual events mentioned in the article would have garnered some attention on their own, it was the combination of both occurrences that provided a substantial amount of information, fueling the rise of conspiracy theories worldwide.
During the discussions, conflicting claims emerged with some people alleging that the president had offered them tax exemption, while others suggested that the company was attempting to exploit cheap labor from its citizens. However, both GAIA technology and the government of Eden maintained an unsettling silence throughout the debates. They released only minimal amounts of information, seemingly satisfying curiosity but withholding any further details, citing ongoing discussions as the reason for their limited transparency.

"Indeed," Aron remarked to Sarah, engaging in a conversation within the universal simulation. "It seems that their actions are indeed causing significant issues for us.".
"Yes, initially they dangled the possibility of tax breaks and other incentives to encourage our company to stay," Sarah explained, presenting the scanned documents to Aron within the virtual simulation. "However, when we declined their offer, they swiftly resorted to threatening us with forceful measures, such as denying the necessary processes to keep our company operational in the country."
"Understood," Aron replied confidently. "I'll make sure to resolve this issue before the week's end." With that, the meeting concluded, and Sarah promptly logged out of the simulation to resume her work.
[Sir, the final section has been printed,] Nova informed Aron ashe was thinking about his conversation with Sarah.
"Instruct them to transport the printed section and the remaining parts to the island," Aron instructed.
[Done, should I proceed to call Rina right away?" Nova inquired, having fulfilled the assigned instructions promptly.
"Yes," Aron replied, and Nova promptly created a temporal bubble and dialed Rina's contact information.
"Hello," Rina greeted as she answered the call on the very first ring.
"Hello there. It seems you were anticipating my call," Aron responded with a smile, noting the promptness of the answer.
"Yes, I just read the article and figured you might reach out to me for assistance in resolving your predicament," Rina replied, a smile adorning her face as she engaged in the conversation.
"You're absolutely right. I do need your help to ensure a smooth resolution," Aron acknowledged, being open with her and sharing the details.
"I've already begun the process, and they have agreed to cooperate on the surface. However, they will maintain a tough stance to demonstrate their concern for the company. At the last moment, they will use the excuse of a worker forgetting to submit an important folder before the deadline to give up on their attempts to block you," Rina informed Aron about the government's plan to continue their facade throughout the process.
"Thank you for your assistance," Aron expressed his gratitude, feeling a sense of pride for choosing to help Rina in her time of need.
"Don't mention it. I believe we've moved past that phase," Rina responded, assuring Aron that their previous exchange of help was no longer a topic to dwell on.
"I do have another and a rather difficult request to make of you," Aron confessed, feeling a touch of embarrassment at continuously seeking Rina's assistance despite his right to do so. nššš.š šÆ-In
"Something challenging, you say? Now that's the level of favor I was hoping you'd ask of me, as it allows me to begin repaying you for the help you've provided," Rina replied, her tone brimming with enthusiasm.
"What is it?" she inquired, curious about the nature of the request.
"A few kilos of tritium," Aron requested with a sheepish smile, fully aware that his unconventional plea would likely catch her by surprise.
"Did I hear you correctly? You're requesting a few kilos of tritium?" Rina exclaimed, clearly taken aback by the unexpected nature of the request.
"Yes, that's correct," Aron confirmed. "I'm in the process of building a reactor, and I require tritium for the initial ignition phase. Additionally, I need a sufficient amount to reach a sustainable level, where it can be continuously produced through the interaction with lithium," he explained, providing a brief summary of why he needed the tritium. "I understand it's quite a challenging request. Is it going to be impossible for you to fulfill?"
Upon hearing Aron's question, Rina shook her head, momentarily setting aside the questions she had about his nuclear reactor. "It's not impossible, but I must admit it will be quite challenging," she replied honestly. "However, I need to know when you will need the tritium. Time is a crucial factor here. Can you provide me with a timeline?" she inquired, keen to understand the urgency of the request.
"By the end of this month," Aron responded.
"If it's by the end of the month, it will be impossible to procure tritium in America," Rina stated, prompting Aron to begin saying, "If that's the case, then no probl..." However, before he could finish his sentence, Rina interrupted him, continuing her response and causing Aron to pause mid-sentence.
"I can't obtain it from America within such a short timeframe, but I can source it from Israel. Would that be acceptable to you?" Rina asked, seeking clarification on whether the tritium had to specifically come from America.
"I really don't mind where it comes from, as long as it's the required material," Aron replied as he realized that Rina's offer to procure tritium from Israel was a viable solution.
"Then I will see you in Eden next month," Rina declared, her statement leaving Aron surprised by the turn of events.
"What? Why are you planning to come to Eden yourself?" Aron asked, clearly taken aback by this unexpected development.
"What? Did you think I could simply send the package without being present? The tritium needs to be transported in a diplomatic bag to ensure it can pass through security without being searched," Rina explained. "Additionally, I have a personal curiosity to see the reactor and ask you a few questions about it."
"Then I'll be waiting to welcome you at the airport," Aron replied warmly upon hearing Rina's explanation for her visit.
"Okay, I'll contact you later to update you on the progress," Rina confirmed. After receiving Aron's response, she concluded the call and began the process of fulfilling Aron's request, determined to find what he needed.
Aron contemplated the phone call and considered a meaningful way to express his gratitude to Rina for her assistance. He turned to Nova, seeking her input. "What do you think would be a suitable token of appreciation for her help?" he asked, his gaze fixed on Nova, awaiting her perspective on the matter.
Nova made a suggestion in a tone that conveyed her awareness of Rina's limitations. [I propose providing Ava with a new home,] Nova said, acknowledging that Ava's confinement to the private network had become restrictive, akin to being trapped in a cage. [By helping Ava, she will, in turn, increase her assistance to her.]
"I had already planned on doing so," Aron responded. "It's essential to ensure Rina's safety, as she will continue to assist me in the future as well." Aron
[Then, how about giving her the glasses?] she suggested, after hearing Aaron's response to her previous suggestions.
"That is a good idea," Aron said as he thought about Rina's words. "It will make facilitating communication with her easier."
[It is better for you to start moving to the island with the pieces and begin assembling them upon arrival, considering the assembly process will take you about a month to complete,] Nova reminded Aaron. Her words prompted him to immediately log off and make his way to the port, where a boat would transport him and the first batch of the parts to the island.
