Chapter 3 – the new order
Morning arose above the land that is owned by New Eden state. As many would know, there are surrounding smaller settlements like farms, quarries, and of course newly established military bases that are built. So far, New Eden is the only large city that is built and inhabited by Human being that came from earth. The New Eden State had grown so large, it is time to officially form/recognize a new government. In the central square were the whole crowed are gathered, the provisional council made their preperations for the ceremony.
As part of the ceremony, a stage is set up filled with decorations with the black and white colors to match their flag. The flag technically is a black and white version of the US flag as mentioned in another chapter a shadow of another country but with one big star to represent the entire human race. For anyone who aren't present at the city but in the local settlement farms or etc. need to use tvs or radios for the announcement.
From behind the stage is an old woman dressed up in a nice business suit showed up at the podium. All the cameras turn on as the lady in toe spoke. "Ladies and gentleman, I would love for you all to welcome the members of our provisional council." She looks at her list naming them one by one "First, the head of science and agriculture Prof. Micheal Darson. Mrs. Darny McStark, the head of treasury and foreign affairs. Arthur Jackson the head of education and dean of the Apollo institute. Bran McStark the head of homeland security and law enforcement." The main members of the Council came out waving as the crowd cheered and applauded. Than the lady looked back with the final and important member "Now last and not least, the man who had led us to this day. I give you the acting-president NED MCSTARK!" the crowd cheered louder than before as music started to play showing Ned McStark in his presidential uniform.
While Ned was getting ready for his speech, John McStark is currently among the security guards watching his dad. One of the guards near him whispered "isn't he your dad?" "Yes he is" John answeared keeping his eyes on the stage. He couldn't wait and hear what his father had to say. His father, Ned tapped the microphone making sure everyone would hear.
"Greetings my fellow citizens, I am Ned McStark. The man who built this inititive for us to leave a torn up home world to bulid one anew. Id admit, I was skeptical at first but when we suddenly found this planet, we had hope. But sadly when we built this dear city, there was contact with hostile aliens. These aliens called themselves apes, and they had attacked us and that event we call 'the battle of Eden Gates'. We were all caught off guard. We did not have a grand army that we have today yet brave men and women stepped up to face the invadors. Half of them were lost and their sacrifices will not be in vain. Starting off we have a constitution."
He takes out a great document and read
"the constitution will have the basic bill of rights and other old admentments from the US constitution but with a few tweaks. For example, on this day the president of this nation will serve for life."
The crowd suddenly started to boo fearing that it might mean a dictator then suddenly Ned assured
"fellow citizens, do not worry as there will be a right for you to vote the president out in a form of trial called the ritual of impeachment."
The citizen calmed down to the info then Ned continued to explain the rest of his political speech like the need to expand the council, the formation of the judicial branch, and as well as how the election system works. Until finally he comes to the military aspect in which John was excited for.
Ned continued on and started to name all the military leaders so far of the branches. One branch, the Sentinels who's job are to keep guard of the known boarders are being led by an elderly woman name Protector Cassidy Prowler. The core military forces who are by named the key army are led by a jewish dsecnded man named General Joseph Christoph. And finally the head of the special forces of the military, the best of the best, its founding members consists of the survivors of the battle of eden's gate called the Templars. The leader of the marine equivalent was General Robert Leesang along with his five colonels who are recognized. Among them is Col. Tyson Grant, the known hero who has an eye patch on his right eye.
John McStark couldn't help but cheer for them. He had always wanted to join the military to make a difference just like his heros and dad. As he cheered, a figure wearing a cloak appeared next to him and spoke "what a remarkable day for your species eh?" catching John's attention he could help but pick up at the word species.
"my species? By your voice oldman aren't you…..?"
John suddenly paused looking at the figure's eyes and face. It is an old male with blue skin and very white eyes yet its face looked human inside the hood.
"God what happened to your eyes?" John asked as he looked around the crowed figuring out how he got into the city without being seen. The humanoid creature rolled his eyes and spoke once again "my kin and I have been observing your kind since you all came from the sky and don't bother trying calling the guards, they won't catch me due to my abilities."
John only continued to stare at him thinking about what he said. He kept up his cool and asks "Your kin?" the strange male made a face gesture that spoke no duh at his reaction and asked "are you the son of the leader?" he points with his wooden staff at Ned doing his speech. John looks at Ned his father than back at her "yes, I am, my name is john McStark and you are?" "I will reveal my name later but I have came with a message that they had predicted your arrival, change is about to come…. You great John is at the center of it." he states.
John is now getting nervous, His people knew that they were coming! He now demand more answears for his building list of questions. Most of his questions consisting of how much does his people know about them, what are they, and how is he at the center. The most important question he just needed to ask "What changes!? How am I at the center?!" the figure looks down with his eyes closed and looked up back at him "your people are about to get dragged into a war caused by ignorance. You need to join up with this army your people built and prepare and adapt. Do not fear, you all might get allies along the way." John was about to demand another answear until he felt a tap on his shoulder making him look back at fellow guard who asks him "who are you talking too?" John was going to answear but hoping to face the figure but he disappeared.
As soon Ned finished his speech he makes his closing statement "Now with no further ado, my fellow citizens today we are now the "NEW TERRA REPUBLIC" God bless the NTR!" and the crowd appluased but John however was still in confused by his encounter with the strange alien figure.
Months have passed since the foundation of the republic. When elections is hosted, of course Ned won as the first president. The great central tower got remodeled into a governmental HQ. Different floors are built to serve a specifc purpose. The first floor not only serves as a lobby but also a congressional room were all the community leaders and the press gather. The second floor is the staff room were all the care takers operate. The third floor is the grand archives which resembles the library of congress. The fourth floor is the halls of justice were the all judges of federal, local, and international levels live and operate along with other law students. The Fifth floor is the private quarters area were most important people live. And the top floor is the president's mansion/estate.
The topfloor is meant to function as the new white house. In front of the mansion is an entrance garden with a heli pad in case they ever build air transportation. Inside the mansion is a grand dinning room with the McStark brothers are eating dinner. John however is just looking at his plate waitng for his father to arrive so he could tell him about joining the military.
Ned Finally arrived into the Dinning hall along with two secret service guards following him. Ned orders the guards to guard the doorway so he could be with his sons. Despite looking wealthy, Ned and the sons were not eating anything luxery. They are just eating basic chicken and rice. They ate until Ned notice his eldest looking at his food. "Are you ok John?" Ned Asks, John looked at his dad with a deep breath and finally demands "I want to join the Templars!" Ned and the other two stopped eating. The servicemen guarding the doorway also reacted by looking back at the family.
Ned just calmly looked at the food and then back at john. Since the battle of Eden Gates, he had hoped to avoid having his son being dragged into a bigger war when it comes. But even though his son is a guard, somehow he still wanted to join the guards. 'my God, he is just like his mother' Ned thought, since john was around ten he always wanted to know life around him. Now that they are in a new planet, it only fueled his wander lust to explore more. Ned answeared "no John, absolutely not!"
John got out his seat not taking the answear very well "WHY NOT!? FATHER YOU KNOW IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SOMETHING MORE IN MY LIFE" "watch your tongue boy, since I lost your mother Ive always struggeled to keep you three safe but seven years after discovering hostile aliens" Ned shouts back. Then john countered "you are already famous for discovering a new planet and a new country so I believe it's my turn to make a name in history!" Ned looks around the dining room filled with luxery walls, painting, and then his other sons wondering what they are fighting about. All he did was tell his boys to go to their rooms until he stopped john. John looks back to his dad to hear him say "when I get the time, ill speak about your role for the military." With that John went upstairs to his bedroom.
(outskirts, one of the farming villages)
Far from one of the farming villages, a few figures seem to be spying on them somehow. The figures turns out to be large dragons observing the humans who are farming crops. One dragon in armor looks at the smaller one "are they the ones?" the little one replys "yes captian, those are the furless apes gathering in this land." The older dragon looks back at the villagers with a stern stare and then back at the other group of dragons and other beast fok and ordered "we better warn the others these creatures are indeed furless apes".
