ELDON

      We just made here in front of our room in Third District. I was so excited, but I didn't know that Brix is even more excited than me to go back here.

     When I told him that today might be the comeback of our friends, he started to rush like this.

     The door is still locked.

    "I was hoping that they are already here, but..." I said

    "Don't worry Eldon. They'll be back" said Brix.

    I just smiled.

    "So what? Let's fix our things?" said he.

    I looked at his bags.

    "Oh I'm sorry. I almost forgot that we have just been on a camp" I said

    "It's okay. I know you've just been so excited to go back here" said he.

    We cleaned our things, and put it on its right place, but there is no Andrei or Nathan coming. We are now eating out breakfast, 'cause we are not able to eat these on the camp.

    The door of our room is always locked even if we're inside, so I was quite shocked when it suddenly opened.

   "Hey humans!" I heard a familiar voice. A man showed himself up from behind the door. It was Nathan who just spoke.

   "Hey human!" I said cheerfully

    He came in, and joined us on our breakfast.

    "Where's Andrei?" I asked. Nathan just looked at the door, so I also looked at it.

    After a few seconds, Andrei showed up. "Hey humans!" said he

   "Hey Andrei!" said Brix

   Andrei also came in, and also joined us.

   "You two are so unfair! You didn't even let us know where you will go" I said

   "I'm sorry Eldon. I was planning to surprise you" said Andrei

   "Surprise me?" I said

   "We knew that before Nathan and I met him, he was your closest friend" said he

   "Closest friend?" I asked

   "Who did you bring here? Can I have a clue?" I added

   "He was working on PAGASA" said he

    I think deeply, but I don't remember anyone.

   "I don't remember" I said

   "What kind of a friend are you, Eldon!? You forgot about him after all he did!?" said Nathan.

   I felt butterflies in my stomach when he said those to me.

   "Anyways, Eldon are you ready to meet him again?" asked Andrei excitedly

   "Of course!" I said

   "Then, Eldon and also Brix, we would like you to meet, Marco Agustin version 2.0" said Andrei

   Then, a man suddenly showed up from behind the door.

   Oh my... it's really Marco!

   "I can't believe it! It's Marco!" I said. Then, I went to him

   He is smiling to me.

   "Nice to meet you, Marco! I'm Brix" said he

   "Hey human! I'm Marco Agustin" said Marco

   "So that really is your greetings, right?" said Brix

   Marco smiled.

NATHAN

   After a few minutes, all are busy with Marco especially Eldon.

  "Hey! Who's Marco?" asked Brix to me

  "Felt so curious about him?" I said

  "Yeah" replied Brix

  "Well, Marco is our friend on Earth. He had help us to reached the space arks safely when we were on Earth" I said.

  "What happened?" asked Brix

  "Andrei, Marco, Eldon and I together with President Dan, who was a secret scientist before, and former President Edward Gonzales, who was the Philippine president that time, with the presidential driver, Nick, were tried to stop by the Philippine forces such as the police and soldiers to go to the space ark" I said

  "Why did they try to stop you?" asked Brix

  "Because, the forces wanted former president Edward and president Dan" I said

  "Why?" said Brix

  "Because they knew that Dan, who was a secret scientist that time, discovered the secret of time travel, so they wanted Dan to create a time machine to help people to go back to past" I said

  "Didn't they want to join with us to live here in Delta?" asked Brix

  "I don't know. Maybe they prefer to live in past, at least they are still on Earth, unlike living in Delta where survival is unsure" I said

   "They judged without even trying to take a risk" said Brix

   "Yeah. They judged first without even trying to know what would be the result" I said.

   Brix kept quiet.

   "Can you keep a secret?" I asked

   "What is that?" asked Brix

   "Honestly, Marco is not a human" I said

   "Trying to trick me, huh?" said Brix

   "No. That's not my intention. Marco is not a human, he's an android" I said

   "Android! Oh my... I can't believe this. I am seeing an android personally" said Brix

   "Do you believe?" I asked

   "Of course not" said Brix

   "I told you. Marco's real name is MA 002. He's the android of the Philippines" I said

   "Really?" asked Brix

   "Yeah. Every country has one android. I can tell you that. MA 002 has co-androids. They are MA 001 from Japanese region, MA 003 from British region and the American region's android is MA 004" I said

   "Why does every countries need an android?" asked Brix
