     It's a great morning for the two of us. I already took a bath just like Eldon, and now we are eating our breakfast.

     After finishing our breakfast, we proceed to the First District. Until now, I'm still amazed with giant arks in every regions. Though, this is my first time outside of the Philippine Region, I can see different space arks with the same design through pictures . They are huge, and their color is white. In addition, every space ark 01 in every region is a government space ark.

     "Good morning Mr. Eldon Alejandro, and Mr. Nathan Francisco!" he laid his right hand.

     How did he know our names?
    
     "Good morning!" I greeted while shaking his hands.

     "Oh. I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Justin Adamson from the Fourth District. I'm 25 years old, and I'm a scientist here in American Region" he said

     "Nice to meet you Justin!" Eldon said

     "I have a question, how did you know our names?" I asked

      "Mr. Andrei Cruz, the Philippine Region presidential spokesperson, introduced the two of you to me" he said

      "Very well" Eldon said

      "So, let's proceed?" he asked

      "Let's go" I said.

      "Well, there are twenty inventions collected from twenty regions. The first is this one, from the Japanese Region, which is called the Hot Seat where you can feel a warm temperature while sitting on it" said he

     Eldon took a picture of it

     Seriously? Hot Seat? What a name full of effort? Well, I can't blame them. Maybe they poured all of their efforts on their inventions, so giving a name of it might be effortless.

    He showed us 18 more inventions. In total, we have seen 19 inventions. We proceed to the last invention to be seen.

    "Gentlemen, I would like you to meet my very own invention, The Enlarger. It is a large machine with an arrowhead" said he

    The Enlarger? Never mind.

    "So how does it work?" asked Eldon

    "Obviously, it is a machine that enlarges everything. By pointing the arrowhead on the target, and by pressing the green button, it will produce a laser light that will lighten the target. Because of this, it will add additional atoms in the target, which can make it larger" said Justin

    "Thank you Mr. Adamson for introducing us all the inventions here. We will tell these inventions to the Philippine Region president. I will also send some pictures of these so that he will see it" said Eldon

    "Thank you Mr. Alejandro and Mr. Francisco" said Justin

    After that, we go back to our room. It's already 1 PM, and we are lying on the sofa while watching TV. It is the afternoon news of YOTV9 that we are watching. I miss our former workplace, the YOTV9.

ELDON
     I just sent the pictures directly to Dan. He allows us to call him only by his name and treat them as their friend. He doesn't want us to call him our president.

    Maybe he still loves to be treated as a secret scientist just like on Earth and not as a special and important human on Delta.

    'Ding dong!' the doorbell rings

    Nathan turned off the TV

    "Who's there?" he shouted

    We are shocked when the door opened.

    It's Andrei.

    "Andrei! You shocked us. By the way, where do you get that key?" Eldon asked

    "Where do you get those keys?" Andrei asked

    "In the First District" I answered

    "I got the key there. Why? Is there any place to get a key for any rooms?" Andrei said

      He's right. For every regions, government space ark is only a place to get a key for a room.

     "No" Eldon said

     "What's new?" Andrei asked

     "We met Justin Adamson, the one who introduced all the twenty inventions that will help us to reduce the feeling of the cold weather" I said

     Eldon told those twenty inventions to Andrei.

     "Wait, are you not curious about Justin's invention?" Andrei asked

     "What's wrong with that?" I asked

     "Come to think of it, all of the inventions will give us a warm feeling except for his invention" he said

     "Right! Would he enlarge something to make us feel warmer?" said Eldon

     "I have no idea what would that be. Maybe he is planning something" I said

     "I think it's time to investigate" said Andrei
