Chapter 1943 His Majesty Is At It Again

Cellphones, cellphones! That was the latest technology in Baymard. Who hasn't heard of them these days?

People just couldn't get enough of them. You want to speak with your supervisor? Well then, just call them on the phone. You want to speak with the school while riding in the bus? Sure thing. Just pick up your phone and dial the number, if it's not already in your contact list. Speaking of contact list, they found that depending on what phone company one bought their phone for, the *621 or *121 or *... Whatever, was often the first number already stored in their contact list. Following this, one would find 911. Once many people got home, they went through the ma.s.sive 800 page phone book given to them when they had their landlines installed. Then, they stored all vital numbers they were used to calling, be it the hospital, their children's schools, the company their mechanics work in within the Lower Region, and whatnot. Of course, no matter how good cell phones were, they wouldn't dream of dismantling their landlines. With Landlines, you can even have a 12-way call. And let's not talk of how many voicemails one can store in the system. All in all, Landlines had their own advantages that cellphones fell short of. The true advantage of cellphones were the ease of communications, making it mobile, anywhere on the go, and the fact that they could also use the Internet on such a small portable device.

Understand that for now, all Phones had no Data access. One could only tap in and use Wi-Fi in public and private locations to access the internet. .

Ah yes~... Several people now found a new joy when using their phones on subways and even cafes. Before now, many people didn't even know that these places provided free WIFI. Only after using their phones and connecting with the internet in the malls, businesses, and other commercial spots, did they truly understand just how much they were missing out on in the past. "h.e.l.lo? Greg? Where are you? Your daughter's play is just about to start. How can you still be on the bus now?" "h.e.l.lo? Samantha? Are you still at home? Can you please close my bedroom windows? I forgot to close them and I'm afraid of coming home to a boiling room. Thanks!!" (^v^)

Such ease Such simplicity. Cell Phones were no doubt one of the greatest inventions in their eyes for now. Of course, this didn't mean that people stopped using the many telephone booths scattered about. They were still in high use, especially by people from Non-treaty regions who couldn't get cellphones. People who forgot their cellphones at home also used them, as well as those with cellphones who believe that they shouldn't make one-time calls on their cellphones. Some people don't like their call logs having random numbers they will definitely never call again. In the end, the Cellphone race was all many could talk of, not knowing that their dear monarch had another whirlpool of surprises scheduled for next year. Of course, the first one would be Rocket launching into s.p.a.ce, the second would be Laptops and finally, the 3rd would be something no one would have ever imagined to be true. .

In a moderate sized room filled with vast whiteboards, tables and chairs, several brilliant minds sat collectively, some with gla.s.ses, some with sleek tied-back hair, and others with calm and collected expressions, either talking in deep conversation or staying silent in wait. All of them had exercise books, pens and pencils before them. The small auditorium was packed to the brim with brainy individuals who all deserved to be here. "Hey does anyone know what this is about?" Asked one of them in a left-end corner. "Beats me," Several people shook their heads sideways. "But if it's his Majesty Landon himself teaching, then it must be another crazy technology that will definitely blow the world's mind to dust." "Hmmmm." "So true." Several people instantly believed it to be so. However, what could it be, and what role would they play in the grand scheme of things?

Everyone knows that everything his Majesty does was Legendary. And despite their doubts they still felt proud to be chosen for this project they signed privacy contracts for. One in particular, Jenny, calmly opened her eyes and uncrossed her arms when listening to the group around her. "Alright, let's start from a logical start point. First, our names and our field of study." Perhaps only by starting with the basics can they succeed in making an accurate guess. "My name is Luke, a 2nd year Computer Software Engineer, but a 4 year worker in the Lower Region." "The name's Anita. A 3rd year computer hardware Engineer, but a 5 year worker in the Lower Region." It's hard to believe that it has already been 6 years since Baymard gained independence. Time sure does fly when one is having a ball. "I'm Rupert, a 2nd Year Architect but a 4 year worker in the Lower Region."

'How odd,' Jenny thought. It was odd that his Majesty had Engineers, Researchers and architects all gather here for the Project. Know that typically, architects are only involved with designing structures. They design and that's it. What is done with the structure is none of their business moving forward. After working in the Lower Region for several years now, even Rupert and the other architects found it puzzling to join meetings with researchers. Yes, they can see how they can have meetings with engineers like electrical engineers, civil and chemical. However, what sort of meeting are they having with researchers and all the other job types here? (?^?)

Everyone was lost for words, but didn't have to wait any longer after seeing several familiar silhouettes enter the auditorium. "YOUR MAJESTY!" In a flash, the entire auditorium rose from their seats and gave deep bows. Following this, they also greeted Overseer Tim and others, the rest flowing behind Landon too. And so it began.
