Chapter 124
The ocean was a soft hum beyond the dome, like a giant lullaby soothing the city of Neridia to sleep. But Jack, Emily, and Sarah remained awake, the last of the popcorn kernels scattered like little stars across the floating mat.Emily yawned. "Alright... bedtime. We’ve got a climate treaty call with the Nordic Union in six hours."Jack groaned as he stood. "Why did I agree to a 4 AM conference call across four time zones again?"Sarah grinned, brushing crumbs from her leggings. "Because you’re the guy with half the planet’s climate solutions in your portfolio. And because Emily threatened to unplug your coffee dispensers if you didn’t."Emily shrugged, innocent. "I stand by that threat."They all headed toward the sleeping quarters, still laughing, but even in rest, their work continued.The next morning, Jack was already in a high-altitude jet headed north. The view shifted from deep ocean blue to icy white as they crossed into Arctic airspace. Beneath the clouds, nestled between gl

The soft glow of the DragonCom panel faded into the walls as the message ended. Jack, Sarah, and Emily sat quietly around the dinner table, the hum of the city outside a distant comfort. The stars no longer the only frontier—they had opened the heavens. Now, the ocean called.Emily pushed her empty bowl away and stood, stretching. "I have to finish the final recalibration for the reef sensors before we dive. They’ve been drifting south by half a meter."Jack leaned back, swirling the last of his wine. "Still worried about the current’s interference with the dome anchors?""That, and the tiger sharks nesting closer to sector 4." Emily walked toward the control deck with practiced urgency. "I’ll meet you both at the bay level in twenty."Sarah looked at Jack as Emily disappeared through the sliding door. "Do you ever get the feeling she loves the ocean more than anything?"Jack smiled. "Not more than anything. But close."They arrived at the launch bay deep beneath Dragon Corporation’s

The flames from the ceremonial fire still flickered in Jack’s eyes as he, Emily, and Sarah stepped back from the gathering of First Nations elders. The air in Ottawa that night was crisp and alive, thick with reverence, the scent of cedar clinging to their clothes like a vow.No one spoke for a while as they walked through the quiet field that bordered the ceremonial grounds. Sarah held her woven cloak tightly across her shoulders. Emily brushed ash from her sleeve. Jack simply looked up—past the trees, past the clouds, toward a sky that no longer felt unreachable.The silence broke only when Jack said, almost absently, "They’re ready."Emily didn’t need to ask what he meant. She simply nodded. "Then let’s begin."One week later, the first public announcement hit every major network and DragonCom channel on Earth.BREAKING: DRAGON CORPORATION’S MARS COLONIES OPEN FOR PERMANENT HUMAN SETTLEMENT!Under the banner Space Dragon, the initiative Jack had quietly been developing for over a d

Three weeks later, Harmonfield buzzed with a new kind of energy. Not from protest or panic, but from anticipation. Jack stood inside a newly constructed vault-like command center beneath Dragon Corporation headquarters, flanked by holo-screens pulsing with signals, frequencies, and light-speed packet exchanges.DragonCom had officially gone live.Not just a communications network. Not just the fastest system on Earth. It was a vision: a single interconnected platform where every voice could be heard, no matter how remote. Language barriers shattered. Cultural dialects preserved. Villages in the Himalayas connected to classrooms in Milwaukee. Elders in Patagonia exchanging wisdom with teens in Tokyo.And at the center of it all stood Jack, silent and grounded, watching the interface come to life."You’re nervous," Sarah said, walking up beside him.Jack gave a dry smile. "I’m unleashing something that could either unite humanity or erase its texture. That’s more than nerves."Emily ent

Jack's fingers tightened in his jacket pockets as he and Sarah walked deeper into Harmonfield's quiet district. The wind carried traces of earth and ozone, remnants of an earlier storm. Jack hadn't said another word since his confession.Sarah finally spoke. "You gonna tell her soon?""I have to," Jack murmured. "Before the world finds out on its own."Sarah stopped walking. "Then don’t wait. She deserves to hear it from you."The following morning, the Dragon Corporation’s biotech division, HelixForge, emerged from the shadows.A sleek facility stood at the heart of Harmonfield’s new medical district. Towering glass spires encased vast vertical labs. Holographic DNA strands danced above entranceways. And behind it all, Jack—once a ghost of war, now a builder of futures—stood before a gathering of world leaders, scientists, and survivors."Today," Jack began, "we declare war. Not on each other, but on the diseases that have claimed too many for too long."He revealed a slate of breakt

Salt still clung to Jack’s skin when the hoverjet dropped them back in Harmonfield. Night had just begun to settle, casting the skyline in deep golds and violets. The ride from the beach had been silent—not awkward, just reverent. The kind of silence that only followed days that rewrote history.Jack glanced at Emily and Sarah as they disembarked. "Get some rest. Tomorrow starts another chapter."Emily gave him a small nod, her eyes already scanning updates on her tablet.Sarah squeezed his shoulder. "No more oceans to clean?"Jack met her gaze, thoughtful. "No. Now we build what comes after."Two weeks later, the world once again gathered.This time in Harmonfield, where cranes no longer built skyscrapers, but something entirely new.Jack stood before a massive holographic display, the rotating blueprint of a city unlike anything seen before. Organic lines, adaptive infrastructure, energy-neutral districts, vertical farms woven through residential blocks."This is the next phase," Ja
