Seatair Chronicles: Book 1

Dashi

The city of Dashi shone with the rising sun as It reflected off the metallic walls. The large building in the middle screeched as the roof opened, inside rows of metal beds had a mixture of metallic beings laying on them. As the sun entered the building, the beings starts to wake up. One of the beings at the front stood up, he was 6 foot tall, slim, his skin the colour of blue steel and dark yellow eyes. Aldis, the oldest Sorga at 200 years old,

"Morning Gedo," his voice echoed around the building, " Tomorrow, Grey, Hed and I will be going to the three city meeting. After our discussions during the night, the areas I will talk about will be; the improvement to the solar panels, trains and bridges which we have been working on with the Naith. We require more material from the Songu as our reserves are running low. On that note, some of us wanted to talk about the Talacha's agreement with the Songu. This is a sensitive issue as they still have 25 years left on their contract, our main concern is that the Talacha's entire culture has been deleted. I am going to speak to Xue about arranging a group to Soir to check if it is ready for rehabilitation. Then at the meeting, I will suggest that we, alongside the Naith, start preparing the Talacha to settle back on Soir, as well as helping them rebuild their city. As such, I would like volunteers to put a plan together that we can recommend to the others. If you would like to take part, please talk to Hed," he said motioning toward a being standing 5 foot tall, bulky, with pure black skin and lime green eyes, "Thank you for your time and as always don't be afraid to come and speak to me,"

The group stood up, bowed and started walking towards the large metal doors. Hed walked next to Aldis,

"Excellent speech as always. But do you think you can get the Songu on the side?" Aldis started walking, and Hed started following,

"I'm going to do my best. Unlike my predecessor, I'm not going to be soft with them. Do we have everything ready for tomorrow?" Hed nodded,

"Yes, although Gray would like to talk to you before we leave," Aldis looked a the sky,

"Of course he does. Tell him to meet me at the garden, I want to talk to Xue first," Hed bowed and walked away. Aldis turned left and started walking too.

The central building is the sleeping quarters as well as the Central Computer Core, which allows the Sorga to communicate during the night while they rest. It's a giant metal dome with solar panels on top. As Aldis approached the research area, Xue walked towards him with an extended hand,

"Aldis, great speech as always," he said, shaking his hand. He stood 5 foot tall, silver skin and forest green eyes,

"Xue, thank you. Are you ready to see me now?"

"Of course, please follow me," he motioned towards the building. Like the central building it was an enormous domed building but at the side between it and the train station was a stack of materials. As they walked through the building to the right was a colossal machine. It groaned as it pushed granite, sand and metal alloy through, at the end were blocks of a substance called Magum which the Sorga used for everything from buildings to vehicles. On the left was a large wall with several windows, behind there are rows of desks with workers behind them. Alsid and Xue walked to the back of the building and walked into a boardroom. Xue motioned to a chair at the front, Aldis sat down as he walked towards the wall. He waved his hand, and a screen appeared,

"The first thing I would like to talk to you about is changing the research area so that the building area is completely cut off from the research area. Your predecessor assured us it was temporary, however, after 15 years I think it's probably some we should organise. I understand that you wanted to talk about the three city meeting; however, this has been on my mind for some time," Aldis folded his hands on the table,
