141 Inter-Spatium Space Exploration Company
"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the First Conference of the Aeternus Curatio Group!
I hope today we can showcase the new changes and innovations we hope to bring to the world.
Without further a due, I would like to present our two flagship companies within the technology, energy, and transport sector.
Manston Engines and Zathra Motors!"
The parent company that managed Manston Engines and Zathra Motors, named after a swordsmanship Esmond, created, hired Miranda Kerr to be the host of the conference.
The board of the Aeternus Curatio Group contained members of the Assassins and Templars but also species from the Space who'd become residents of Earth with Carter's help to disguise their appearance.
They also fit in with the world without anyone ever discovering their truth.
When they were chosen to lead the company, the board members searched and found that an Australian supermodel would help put the companies on the map, especially if she was hosting.
Of course, she was provided all of the information she needed to say through an ear pierce developed within the Space that helped with speech clarity, Miranda helped draw thousands to the conference.
Because it was free, press didn't think much of it but once it was advertised that Miranda Kerr would be at the conference and hosting, Australian media lost their mind.
What they didn't know was another media company had joined their ranks that released the news to the public.
Carter as an intermediate A.I Spirit that knew everything happening on Earth, a newspaper was news and media company was created.
Liber Tellus Media, a growing commercial television network which already sourced a large amount of production to help keep it attractive in the eyes of the viewers.
They also happened to release the information about Miranda Kerr through the newspaper of the Liber Tellus Daily Paper.
Even now, they had an exclusive interview with Esmond after the conference and able to learn more about the Aeternus Curatio Group.
.
"I would like to invite the founder and chairman of the Aeternus Curatio Group, as well as the founding Chief Designer and creator of both Manston Engines and Zathra Motors.
Please give a warm welcome to Esmond Manston's!" Miranda introduced Esmond, giving Esmond a polite kiss on the cheek as good luck.
She'd actually found Esmond and his siblings to be all incredibly stunning individuals.
Her manager had tried to recruit Gabriel, Rosie, and Scarlett, but they all refused, even scornfully gazing at the idiot who tried to bother them.
Though they weren't exactly required in the Military Command Central within the Spatial Ark Star World, they were able to easily play around on Earth and help the conference while also pay attention to the deployment of the Phantom Security Services.
Amelia, May, and Layla joined the backstage of the conference and were also hounded by Miranda's agent, but they refused as they had their own careers sorted and going well.
Miranda even found the opportunity to befriend the girls and found out quite quickly they were Esmond's partners even though nothing had been explicitly said.
They knew Esmond understood and vice versa, but Miranda found it quick odd, especially as an Australian culture that didn't do more than one partner.
However, Miranda understood she lived in a different world compared to them when she got her hands on the new technology being announced by the Aeternus Curatio Group.
She got to understand the gadgets and gismos before they were released show, she could also show how easy it was to use them, but something like announcing the Manston Engines and Zathra Motors required Esmond's charm.
.
"Hello everyone, as the lovely and charming Miranda Kerr said, I am Esmond Manston, the individual behind some of the companies and brands you'll hear about today as well as witness in the open floors of the convention centre.
But first off, I'll like to talk about something to my heart and family, Manston Engines." Esmond started talking about his father's love for motor vehicles and racing sports that led to the establishment of Manston Engines.
Esmond talked about his success so far in Formula One with their team successfully winning the second event they participated in, making people wonder what Manston Engines and Zathra Motors were all about.
Introducing the hybrid drive system that was the focus of Manston Engines, Esmond talked about the engines they developed being used in everything from scooters, bikes, cars, buses, boats, and even planes.
It shocked the audience enough to make many people wonder if everything was a late April Fool's joke but when they saw the data available on the large screen and videos of the vehicles driving, everyone quickly felt like they were invited to see the future ahead of humanity.
Esmond explained the Manston Electric Engines which were utilised by Zathra Motors in such models as the Invictus Ute which caused many reporters and journalists to wonder how Esmond had come up with everything.
That wasn't all though, Esmond introduced other people who were critical to his business plans and introduced his Recharge fuel stations that offered refilling stations for electric engine vehicles.
This included Gabriel introducing her Vita Primus BioTech company that sought out save the world.
People were shocked by Gabriel's startling beautiful appearance but also by the data shown that proved the success of stem-cell research.
Without needed to involve foetus stem-cells, Gabriel explained she was able to create them from each person's own cells rather than another's, so the treatment was universally applicable.
By the end of the conference, the journalist didn't know if they should enter the open floor of them convention centre to see every exhibition or inform their bosses about the gold mine, they stumbled upon.
Mind you, most of these journalists and media reporters were all close to being fired from their jobs for not finding the right stories.
Esmond had some of these people watched closely to see if they were any good and possible to be recruited for his own media company, but for now, he got to see them scramble around like headless chickens.
In the meantime, Africa was seeing their world change overnight as the Phantom Security Services attacked just after 3:30am on the 2nd of April 2008.
Landing near Xaafuun of Somalia, the first Androids quickly charged out onto the land and quickly set up a base with Capsule Pods quickly spawning various buildings.
Even Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia felt the power of the Phantom Security Services making landfall.
Though at first the locals all seemed afraid, very quickly they noticed their streets were being developed, people were being hired on the spot and paid to learn with helping construction.
Much to the surprise of the people the new occupiers were friendly and knew their language and differences even if they didn't matter so much in Esmond's mind.
Somalian pirates weren't too happy with the arrival of the Phantom Security Services and tried to retaliate but lost quickly when they were fired upon or captured.
The Mauritania attack was going down the same path with internal forces that rested deep within the nation came out shooting but lost quickly.
What the U.N hadn't expected was Esmond's plan to eradicate any and all Warlords before another could take the last one's place.
The Androids sent out the unique teams to search through the jungles and forests to find those escaping from the Androids, while others came charging in from the sky using Drop Pods to enter deeper lands of Africa.
All this happened within a few hours, leading to Esmond being notified by the afternoon of the 2nd of April 2008 that the Phantom Security Services were settling in.
Places like Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Cameroon had also been drawn into the disorder created from their arrival leading to many figures of various nations close by asking for protection from the Phantom Security Services.
Nobody realised the Phantom Security Services were hunting down any and all illegal operations before capturing the sites as their own.
Though they would be improved to help the locals and improve their lives, the actions of the Phantom Security Services were loud and fast enough to take governments by storm.
Certain multinational corporations were behind on the news from their own security teams and services protecting their assets until many companies like Shell in Nigeria were asked to cease all operations for harming the environment and pressing charges.
Though this caused a rumble in the worldwide market, nobody could pay it any attention since governments of the western worlds were fighting to learn everything about the Aeternus Curatio Group.
Nobody could believe the items showcased were feasible to be producible, but when people saw the Wristvein, 'the Lifeblood of the Future', caused companies like Apple, Samsung, Nokia, and other telecommunication business to worry.
Similar in design to the Wristband utilised by people within the Spatial Ark Star World and those who were connected to Esmond, the Wristvein was a wider item that could be wrapped around someone's wrist and act as a watch but also a phone.
By removing it from the wrist because of its flexible make-up, Esmond displayed his ability to pass it off as a normal single flat clean surface that acted as a touch phone.
It created waves in the industry nobody expected, especially Apple who were flying high in the sky because of the success after releasing the iPhone.
Though the name wasn't highly received well, Esmond explained his future for the technology would become as thin as a string that could fit comfortable around someone's wrist that they wouldn't notice its presence.
The long charge for both the Wristveins and car models of the Zathra Motors told the people they affordable and easy to buy within the next few days as dealerships and stores would be opening.
Some of Esmond's business ventures like his Inter-Spatium Space Exploration Company didn't cause as many waves in the eyes of the reports but his idea to create a jetliner company to rival Boeing and Arbus made many thinks it would be possible with the hybrid aircraft engines.
.
As the world dived deeper into chaos from Esmond's news, not knowing how someone was willing to offer him any money to create such outlandish business plans.
Sadly, for all of them, their research led them to find Esmond had success finding diamonds in a rough.
The Stonehill Family Mining company that was close to dying out came back to life once Esmond bought them and the land in their control.
New information revealed the area had iron, uranium, gold, diamonds, coal, bauxite, nickel, zinc and much more.
When large corporations tried to force a takeover the area, nobody found anything in their scans of the area further beyond Esmond's ownership which was large enough.
What nobody knew was the intervention of the World Tree root that'd come to life in the last few weeks.
The Spirit had finally awoken and left its mark to accept Esmond as its Master but since it was rather young feeding off the Universal Sentient Lifeform Essence Spring.
It was pushing the young Spirit to gain unimaginable strength and power but since she was still hibernating to adapt to the large influx of Universal Sentient Lifeform Essence Spring sent to her daily, Carter controlled the roots to add all sorts of minerals into the lands of the mines.
When Esmond heard what the roots could achieve in Carter's hands, he laughed aloud as he asked Eddie to start purchasing places that were left to rot once they dried up of minerals.
Already aware if all the empty mines started to display minerals it would cause mayhem, but it didn't matter since the strategic purchases Eddie made was of land that neared its end or found it hard to expand because a lack of funds.
Very quickly, Esmond found the government calling him set up a meeting as they were curious about his Inter-Spatium Space Exploration Company.
Already aware they wanted to buy rockets or ask him to help develop military equipment, Esmond created another company right after the government called to focus on weaponry and military equipment.
Though he wasn't willing to give the Australian government the very best he had on offer, but knew it help them somewhat.
Another idea he'd started was a political party that was related to him but secretively to help him pass under the radar of the government.
Aware Kevin Rudd would be expelled from his position as the Prime Minister of the Australian Government in 2010, Esmond prepared to push his own members into government in-between.
He wanted the party to be neutral and capable of meeting the middle ground between the Liberals and Labour.
They were both sides of the extreme which could flip easily as a hat with the wrong leadership.
Esmond thought about creating a A.I Spirit that could act as the future Prime Minister of Australia, but it depended on the people he could find that wouldn't betray him for their own greed.
