The DragonJet continued forward, cutting through the darkness like a promise made of steel and starlight.Jack let the silence settle for a moment, then inhaled slowly, his eyes tracing the steady pulse of the stars beyond the glass. “But there’s more,” he said quietly. “The summit won’t only involve Draconia.”Ryan looked up. “What do you mean?”Jack turned his chair slightly, folding one leg over the other with a calm that carried unmistakable command. “This summit must also involve Venmoor’s leadership. Specifically, President Selene Wardell.”Emily blinked. “Venmoor’s president? You want her involved too?”“Not want,” Jack corrected. “Need.”Sarah nodded thoughtfully. “Because Venmoor is the testing ground.”Jack’s eyes warmed slightly as he looked at her. “Exactly. President Selene Wardell is one of the few leaders who understands transformative reconstruction. She rebuilt Venmoor from the brink of collapse—economically, socially, and agriculturally. She understands risk. She und

Jack’s gaze lingered on the faint curve of Earth, now a swirl of blues and greens beneath them. The DragonJet’s engines hummed steadily, a subtle reminder that while the world below slept, plans above were moving with precision.“Let’s break it down,” Jack said softly, turning to the others. “Each county has a unique responsibility under the DGEI. Harmonfield, as the educational core, will lead knowledge dissemination. Reidsville, with its dense urban population, will serve as the model for public health integration. Richmond, innovation capital, will pilot advanced eco-industrial systems. Redmond, agricultural hub, will implement large-scale GreenDragon solutions. And Carlisle… well, Carlisle will be the ideological benchmark—proof that conservation and intervention can coexist.”Ryan leaned forward, eyebrows raised. “So each county isn’t just participating—they’re actually demonstrating a facet of the initiative.”Jack nodded, fingers steepled. “Exactly. By distributing responsibili

They remained by the panoramic glass, suspended between Earth’s shadow and sunlight. Below them, clouds drifted like quiet tides, unaware of the monumental shift about to ripple across nations.Emily broke the silence first, her voice soft but threaded with excitement. “Jack… the GAS Summit will change Draconia. But what about Venmoor? President Wardell… he’ll want to align too, especially with the recent environmental damage on his western border.”Ryan nodded sharply. “He’s been calling for cross-border cooperation for months. The pollution belts near Venmoor’s river systems are getting worse.”Sarah tilted her head. “Jack, is Venmoor supposed to join the GAS Summit… or will they hold their own version?”Jack didn’t turn around immediately. He watched the faint shimmer of Earth’s horizon as if measuring its pulse. Then he spoke, calm but decisive.“They won’t just join the GAS Summit,” he said. “They’ll expand it. Venmoor will be the first international partner in the Green Alignmen

Jack let the hum of the DragonJet settle around them, the soft resonance a metronome to their thoughts. Earth spun silently below, cities twinkling like constellations scattered across the deep blue canvas. Yet Jack’s mind was far from the beauty beneath them. It raced along circuits, networks, and systems that would define the GAS Summit’s operational backbone.“Technology isn’t just a support system,” Jack said, voice low and deliberate. “It’s the enabler. Without TAS, the GAS Summit remains a concept. With TAS, it becomes a functioning ecosystem.”Emily tilted her head. “And Dragon Corporation is leading it all?”Jack nodded. “Yes. But leadership isn’t control. It’s coordination. Dragon Corporation facilitates integration. Each tech company contributes a critical piece. AuroraTech handles district-level AI optimization. NexaCore manages real-time analytics across counties. BlueHaven Systems monitors live public engagement and feedback loops. Veridian Labs secures energy storage an

The DragonJet’s hum remained steady, almost meditative, yet the cabin had become electric with unspoken energy. Earth’s curve shimmered beneath them, but it wasn’t just the planet that held attention anymore. The central console flickered, projecting a live hologram from Dragon Corporation’s main atrium and Dragon University’s central quad.Jack leaned slightly forward, eyes scanning the three-dimensional feed. The holographic projection hovered mid-cabin, capturing every detail: employees, researchers, students, and faculty all raising their hands in synchronized applause. Banners flashed across the atrium: “All Hail the Dragon Bearer” and “Vision in Action — Dragon Corporation Leads the Way.” The students cheered, their voices magnified through the quantum feed, filling the DragonJet with a pulse of collective energy.Emily pressed her hands to the console’s surface, her reflection shimmering against the holographic lights. “Jack… they’re all… celebrating you. Not just the summit… n
