The group of shipwreck survivors trudged wearily alongside the team of soldiers, their injuries slowing their progress. One of the soldiers, a man with a kind face, asked where they were from and why they needed medical attention.

Karen Makani, the young woman in the pristine white lab coat, explained that they had survived an attack from hordes of malice organisms. The soldiers listened attentively and offered their help, assuring them that they were safe under their care.

.....

“I am Dorish Paul,” the soldier who had spoken up introduced himself. He was the team leader of a group of 50 people from the Rhamnusia organization, tasked with clearing the area of any threats. He suggested that the survivors meet with their leader Shun, who was in the city they were heading to. If they had any useful skills, they could be given immediate treatment and moved to a better environment.

Karen Makani and the other survivors were intrigued by the offer and asked about the goals of the Rhamnusia organization. Dorish Paul explained in detail, highlighting the feats of their great leaders and the awe-inspiring work they had done for people like them. Despite their fatigue, the survivors were surprised and curious, but some remained skeptical.

As they trudged towards the city, the sound of waves crashing against the shore slowly faded away. Their footsteps echoed on the gravelly ground as the sun beat down on them relentlessly, making their wounds ache even more. Karen Makani couldn’t help but wonder what lay ahead of them. Would the Rhamnusia organization really be able to help them, or were they just another group of people with their own hidden agendas? She glanced over her shoulder at the other survivors, all of them looking tired and disoriented. They had been through so much already, and they deserved a chance at a better life.

As they finally arrived at the city gates, Karen Makani felt a surge of hope. Perhaps, just perhaps, their luck had finally turned.

……

At the city, Temporary Base of operation.

The soldier guarding the door interrupted Leader Shun’s work, “Leader Shun, the people from Union Co. are here!”

“Hmmm! Let them in!” Leader Shun’s voice boomed from the room, the authority in his tone sending shivers down the soldier’s spine.

The soldier gestured at the three people standing at the door to enter the meeting room. The door creaked as it pushed open and the three entered, bowing in deference to Leader Shun. The invisible pressure emanating from him made them unconsciously bow their heads, a testament to the awe and respect they had for him.

“Common, gentleman please be seated!” Leader Shun gestured to them, indicating they could sit down now. The pressure dissipated after his words, but the fear and admiration that lingered in their hearts made them shiver a little.

“So Leader Shun, this might be our first meeting, so let us introduce ourselves!” The middle-aged man spoke, a smile masking his nervousness.

“Go ahead!” Leader Shun replied, his expression unreadable.

“I am Chuckleford Snickers,” announced the man in the center with a toothy grin, “and to my left is Gigglesworth Folly, and to my right is Jesterly Wisecrack!” The introductions were made in perfect synchronization, eliciting a small chuckle from Leader Shun.

“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance,” the trio spoke in unison, their voices carrying the same upbeat tone that matched their comical names.

Leader Shun cleared his throat, bringing their attention back to the matter at hand. “As you may have heard, we are almost done dealing with the dangerous malice organisms on our continent, and the remaining smaller ones will be handled by our new members. This means that we, as the senior members, will be embarking on an expedition to the middle continent and the one beside us.”

The trio’s expressions were a mix of surprise and excitement as they digested the information. “Are you serious, Sir?” they asked in unison.

Leader Shun nodded. “Very serious. And what we need from you three is to transport us and the necessary resources. I trust that your ships are well-maintained so that the mission won’t be in jeopardy.”

Chuckleford Snickers spoke up, his enthusiasm palpable. “Yes, leave it to us! We’ll aid you on this noble mission with everything we’ve got!”

Gigglesworth Folly and Jesterly Wisecrack nodded in agreement, their eyes twinkling with excitement. The trio was ready for whatever adventure lay ahead.

The trio of ship transport business owners had been like brothers for a long time, having started their venture well before the troubled times.

When they met with Leader Shun, they were very cooperative, knowing that said person was responsible for executing their grudge against the NHC people.

As they too had faced oppression at the hands of the NHC Organization. Whenever they had to sell their large resources to The Bank, they had to travel to the capital and a portion of their hard-earned profits always went into the pockets of the corrupt NHC officials. It was no surprise that they held a deep grudge against them.

When they heard that the organization had been wiped out, they were overjoyed, finally free from the shackles of having to give their hard-earned shares to the good-for-nothing trash of society. They eagerly discussed the details of the expedition with Leader Shun, planning how many ships they would need and what time they would set sail. Their enthusiasm was palpable as they expressed their eagerness to participate in this exciting mission.

Meanwhile, Leader Shun had been informed by Dorish Paul that someone wanted to meet with him. When he met Karen Makani, the surname sounded familiar but he couldn’t quite place where he had heard it before. He asked her to showcase her skills to see what she was capable of.

Karen Makani was initially skeptical, but after meeting with Leader Shun and seeing the person for herself, she felt that she needed to give it a try. Who knew? They might even offer her and her colleagues a place in their ranks. With cautious optimism, she accepted the opportunity to showcase her skills and prove her worth.
