World of Minecraftia
Chapter Nine: The Meeting with the Council of Creators.
A few days later Inpu had gotten up early to get ready for his meeting with the conseil of creators. His request to meet with them had been approved a few day ago much to the happiness of the council of admins. Taking a sip of the tea that he had made earlier that morning. He was reading one of his favorite books called Egyptian Myths and their influence on the world today.
Finishing his tea, he got his bookmark that he had in the book before and placed it back in before getting up and making his way to his son Atlas's room. He had promised his husband the night before that he would check in on him in to morning. The doctor had diagnosed him with a flu, but Inpu had a feeling that there was more to it. Bryan had decided to stay home today to keep an eye on him despite the animatronics wanting to come to the park to fix there mess even though he wasn't allowed there at the moment because of the investigation. Not that Bryan wanted to be there at the time anyway.
Inpu entered his son's room with a soft reassuring smile. His son was laying on his bed only slightly awake but could tell who had entered. "Hey dad." His voice was slightly slared but still audible enough that Inpu could tell what his son had said.
"Hello Atlas, how are you feeling this morning?" Inpu smiled at his son placing a small tray on his nightstand. It had a thermometer, pulse oximeter and some medicine. He took the thermometer off the tray first making sure that it was working.
"I'm alright dad, I still feel a little bit of pain but other then that nothing else aside from a headache and fever." Atlas replied with a smile. Inpu nodded in acknowledgement has he took Atlas's temperature. It was still high, but not has much then it had been yesterday.
"It differently seems that way. Your temperature is still high but slightly down from yesterday. Me and your papa will still keep you home today though. You still need a little more time to recover before we can send you back to school. Your dad's got to go to work now, okay? Papa will be here to check on you before he takes your siblings to school, okay? I love you, my son." Smiled the head of the admin council.
"Love you too dad. Good luck at work today." The 7 year old smiled at his father. Inpu gave him one last pat on the head before exiting the room and making his way out of the room. After gathering everything and making sure that he had it all he exited the house and made his way to the creator's headquarters.
The creator's headquarters was like a mix between a place and a cathedral. It was tall and made of stone and prismarine. It stood tall over the main world's land and housed the prime creator. Many of the other creators lived in the larger houses and mansions that surrounded the government area.
Inpu entered the building and sat in the lounge area that stood before the council's chamber. He had a whole presentation planed for when he entered. If things went well, he could get official funding for the inter-agency taskforce and more resources to take down the Ender Watchers.
The council's secretary opened the door and approached the head of the admin's council. "Sir Overseer Admin? The creator's are ready to see you now." They said with a smile. Inpu nodded and entered the chamber.
The camber was huge and wide. It was dimly lit by a chandelier hanging from the ceiling made of dark oak wood. The chamber it's self was decorated with white, dark blue and green carpeting with an intricate design woven into it and layed over dark oak wood floors. There weren't any windows in the room but there were plenty of agreements for seating in the from of dark brown chairs padded by dark brown wool. The highest point in the room was a tall stand that the council members sit upon. One stand however is taller than the others. That one is reserved for the prime creator. The one who leads the council with a fair and gentle hand but is also strong at heart and wise.
The council members were already there and seated at their podiums each one signified by a bander with there symbol on it. The Prime Creator was the one that started the meeting. "Members of the council of creators. We are here today to hear the words of Inpu Anubis Devail, overseer of the council of admins. He comes to us with word of the criminals known has the Ender Watchers latest move. Heed his words well for their next move just might pose a threat for all of our society." The Prime creator called to order. "Overseer Inpu, come forward and speak of your investigation." He called the jackal hybrid forward.
Inpu stepped forward and bowed to the council has per formality at these kinds of meetings. "Thank you Creator Prime, and the rest of you for your time here today. Like Creator Prime said, I am here today to inform you of what my council has confirmed to be the Ender Watcher's latest move. A week ago, now the private survival multiplayer server of Hermitcraft reported an incident where one of its players, named Grian Charles Watson, was found by his friend Mumbo Jumbo when he was sent over to his residence to perform a welfare check when the servers admin Xisuma Void was altered by his artificial assistance to an abnormally in Grian's code. Mumbo, upon realizing that Grian was getting worse called the server's resident healer, Stress Monster or Natalie Arnold and after attempting to treat him they decided to call the server's doctor Mason Stormhelm. He determined that it was necessary to bring him to server core hospital were doctor Cody Maverick determined that it was a bio weapon. In the email I sent you this morning you'll find an update version of his finding on the weapon."
The creators looked at their computers and saw the updated report. What was disturbing? The fact that there was human DNA in the weapon. What was worse, the DNA came from a hybrid. A rear one at that. If the gods heard about this, they would be enraged.
"During a resent raid on a confirmed EW hideout six white endermen hybrids along with fourteen other hybrids we found plans to create this very same weapon. We don't know what they're planning to do with this, but we do know that it could end badly if not stopped before they finish making the final product. However, based on documents that we have retrieved the current version that Grian has been infected with is not capable of what they want the final to do. In fact, according to those same files what the final product is supposed to do it way worse. This is why I believe that further measures to ensure that the Ender Watcher and defeated should be taken now before they complete the weapon."
One of the creators nod having looked at the files before the meeting. "I agree with Overseer Admin Inpu. I looked at the files earlier and it could very well cause major problems if not put under our control now."
Another creator named Death nodded in agreement. "I agree the soon we take precautions the sooner we can take down the EW. I motion to triple the bounty on any information on The Ender Watchers."
"Motion to be considered after Overseer Admin Inpu finishes his presentation. However, I do agree that measure need to be taken to make sure this "project phantom e" dose not reach completion. What say the rest of the council?" Ruled Prime with a firm nod.
The rest of the conseil agreed with their coworkers. "Very well, what ideas has the admins come up with to help combat the increase in EW activity?" asked another creator named code. Inpu nodded and began detailing the currant actions that he and his coworkers had done so far.
In addition to what he had done after the latest emergency meeting they had also added a new criminal hotline solely to report Ender Watcher activity. They had also planned on making an interagency task force that would be capable of fighting the EW has soon has possible.
"Well, it's seems that this will be a wonderful start to working towards the disbandment of the Ender Watchers. I think we can invest some funds into the taskforce. What say the rest of the council?" Asked Death, one of the creators asked her fellow council members.
There was unanimous consent from the council on the matter which made things easier for Inpu. Afterall that meant that they could take back the funding unless a number of scenarios occurred. One, being that the need for said funding was longer existent, two that they were misused or three if the votes on the funding from the creator's changed so that there was majority objecting to the funding. Now all he had to do was finish presenting the information to the council and hopefully they would be able to turn the agency into an official temporary taskforce.
"You said in the email you sent this morning that you had more information on the Dream SMP case. One that prove the Ender Watcher's involvement in that case, correct?" Asked the Creator of Justice.
Inpu nodded in understanding and agreement. "Yes, I do, during Apala two's investigation into the unauthorized shutdown of the Dream SMP we managed to take a look into the code of a few members while they were doing a change of the guard when the barrier was weakened. Several known members of the EW were sighted at that time. Furthermore, in the resent raid there were documents found that implicated that the Ender Watchers were in fact not just involved with it's shut down but the ones guarding the portal. However, we don't know what their plans are at this time has we only found communication records that were encrypted. They didn't mention any of there plans except helping a member of theirs with there plan to start of the hybrid trafficking ring. Furthermore, they were planning on using a draemon to preform a complete takeover of the server. Has such I move to have Alpha nine "Wolf's claw" Brought into the investigation. Furthermore, I'd like permission to have to interagency taskforce made into an official temporary agency until we can successfully disband and arrest all members of the EW."
Showing these records to the creators they agreed that it was definitely necessary to from a bigger group to take down The Ender Watchers. This taskforce would be made of many people from different backgrounds and agencies. With that in mind it was to be given the name of the . A taskforce that the public would be made aware of in the coming hours and that would be responsible for the investigation into the increase into Ender Watcher activity. However, they would not be told of there operations or what their next move would be. That being said there would also be a team within the agency made to handle public relations and other outside of agency matters. They would be the only source of information the public would have on them.
After a few hours of discussing how the agency would work the creators discussed the motion made by Death hours ago. "While the bounty is already pretty high, considering the threat that the Ender Watchers pose to our society I believe that raising the bounty would be well worth the reward. However where will we get the money for that from?"
"We still have some money left over from the shut down of those illegal locations of the Freddy Frazbear franchise the settlement from the franchise to be allowed to stay open. We only need half of the total amount of both of those then we will have enough to triple the bounty for a while. We could also do a fund raiser for the high class and get some money from them. We could also make it mandatory for those who didn't pay the "Company Ownership Tax" pay doble this year or size assets under the sized of property for those who refuse to pay taxes laws. Don't forget we also can raise the corruption tax has well." Earth, another creator listed out their options.
"Those options could work. Not to mention that the economy of our world is supposed to grow within the next few years. Plus, we mustn't forget that we can always open up more jobs in the mining servers to produce more money quicker." Moon suggested with a smile.
"My sister is right. We have plenty of options, but the question is will it bring enough people to search for information on the Ender Watchers. We already had the bounty pretty high before this but not many people wanted to search for information on them." Sun explained with a frown.
"Indeed, after what's happened to those who go after them without training, I believe that it's time we make the Enter Watcher Bounty a trained only bounty especially considering the last few cases of someone disappearing the Ender Watcher were connected to were known to be looking for information on them before their disappearance. Only those who were trained bounty hunters returned and some of the more experienced ones were even able to avoid capture. Therefore, I motion to have the Ender Watcher Bounty turned into a trained hunter only bounty for hunters ranked five and higher." The creator known has Lore nodded.
"I second Lore's motion with the added suggestion that we require all hunters to hunt for this bounty in groups of three or higher." Craft nodded in acknowledgement to the other creators. The motion passed without much issue only the others adding suggestions that would be beneficial to the bill. It passed with a majority of 10-2 with only two creator's not in favor.
While the council was composed of 13 members Prime could only vote if there was a tie between the two options. This was how the council was made back in the days when humanity had just moved from earth to here and when magic was freshly discovered.
With that done after a few more items were discussed he sent a message to one of the other admin council James Rosedale who was the spokes person for the council to send word out about the increase in the bounty that had been set for the Ender Watchers and the changes that had been made to it.
Returning back to his office in the building for the admin council the waiting for him to hold a briefing on what the admin council need to know about the meeting he had just gotten out of and to discuss what arrangement needed to be made to inform the admins of what they needed to know in the rank conference that would happened in five days' time.
A rank conference was a day where everyone who was a certain rank had to come to the Rank conference hall of there rank and attend a meeting were important information was disseminated amongst the masses of that rank. Only the council that oversaw that rank of magic could call one of these meetings.
In this case the council of admins would be calling a meeting of every currently active admin for many reasons. One was to update them on the hunt of the Ender Watchers and what their latest activities, Inform the admins about the newest temporary taskforce, and vote on new laws that would impact the council and admins. Furthermore, they also need to take tally of who was planning to run for the council this time.
The meeting hall for the admins wasn't has glamorous has the meeting hall the creators themselves had. For one it was about half the size of the creator's and less decorated in many ways but still looked ominous yet pleasant at the same time.
Inpu entered the room and made his way to his office that was behind it. He had a copy of the transcript form the meeting that he needed to make copies of for the council and for his records. Everyone who had a job had to keep records in this world. It was one of the many checks put in place to ensure that corruption didn't run rampant in society again like it did in humanity final years on earth. That and a number of other factors led to humanity moving from earth and building a new life on Minecraftia.
Job records were also used for a number of other reason. They were used to determine your job performance score which showed how well you did at your job, they were also used by employers when determining who to hire in conjunction with your job performance score and a number of other job related things such has investigating incidents in the work place and determining how much you got paid. So, it was important for everyone to make absolutely sure that your job records were always kept up to date so that when they were needed you had them.
Once the records were all printed and done Inpu stapled them together in to packets for each of the conseil members to look at during the meeting. After making sure that everything was ready for the meeting Inpu noticed that he still had a few minutes before the meeting, so he decided to call Bryan to check on Atlas.
"Oh, Inpu I'm so glad you called. Listen, me and Atlas are heading to the hospital. His fever went up to 103.5 and he's in a lot more pain now! I'm really worried but I didn't know when it would be okay to call!" Bryan spoke through the phone in an upset tone.
"What! When this this start?! He was just fine when I checked on him this morning." Inpu replied in a concerned tone that Bryan knew was his "worried father voice". Every time Inpu got worried about his children he would go into this very same tone of voice that told everyone that knew the Devail family that something was wrong with one of the children.
"This afternoon, when I was going to bring him lunch! He ate it just fine then suddenly he just stopped and threw up some of it. The I'm with him right now because the doctor felt it was best to admit him due to the fever." Bryan answered Inpu's question.
"Okay good, he should stay there, and a doctor will come to him shortly. I have one more meeting that I may be able to get out of. I'll see if Xylo can take over and make my way to the hospital has soon as I can. Which one are you at dear?"
"Server Core it was quicker and closer to spawn then the one on server. Please get here has soon has can Inpu please." Bryan sounded on the verge of crying at that point.
"Don't worry dear I will, take it easy, okay? I'm going to call Magnus to watch the kids in case we don't get out of the hospital before the daycare closes. I love you dear." Inpu said with a forced smile.
"I love you too." Bryan said in a trembling voice. They then ended the call and Inpu called his personal assistant and trusted friend to see if he could fill in for him.
