Chapitre 35: Chapter 34 Representatives
The last few months had been busy with the construction of Heliopolis and continued work on establishing a working goverment. Mike now remembered why he wanted a parliament, he needed then to handle the boring, he meant important everyday functions of goverment. Nope definitely not pushing off the boring stuff onto others.
Mike had a headache, while he had convinced Kitty and Cassandra of his reasoning they were still not happy about it.
Megan was in contact with Mars to arrange a representative from them as well as see if any Martian wanted to immigrate. She said that some of the less extreme white Martians might do so after all they faced alot of prejudice and a country which they were accepted would prove rather appealing.
Mike had contacted Guy Gardner and Jessica Cruz as Green lanterns they had alot of experience with various species around the universe so Mike asked them to help with screening any aliens who wanted to get into Orb.
They had apparently been a little bored recently since the Gaurdians were still more than a little sore that they disobeyed orders, and had given them the most boring tedious assignments as a punishment. They both agreed and stated that they would arrive sometime in the next week. Jessica was especially pleased when informed that in addition to a salary if they wanted he could also provide rent free housing.
Matt, Jennifer, and Hank all three agreed to come up and work out a framework constitution as a start. Matt surprised Mike by offering to act as head of the judicial department for now.
Tony was negotiating a branch of Stark International to be built when Heliopolis was ready. He also asked for a vacation home in his words "To get away from everything."
Reed was asking for a lab up there as well. Susan Storm added on asking for housing apparently tired of the Baxter building getting attacked every other week. Ben wanted to know if he could help pilot one of the spaceships again. Johnny apparently had a love of engines and asked if he could work with Forge.
Peter and his Aunt where back in New York by now and had called to ask when it would be OK for them to move.
Heliopolis was on schedule to be completed withing the next day or two. Logan apparently loved the Lumber Gundam and was having a blast practicing with it around the compound in New York. He had requested more personnel before Orb was opened to immigration. A request Mike agreed to before explaining that eventually he would get a separate Mass Driver to act as a port and keep the one in New York to be used by Morganrote for buisness.
He was negotiating with the US for possession of a few uninhabited island in the Pacific that could serve as a port for immigration. they had to be large enough for an airport, seaport, a mass driver and all necessary support facilities.
There was a group of three Islands that were close together that fit the requirements between them. He was also looking at Antarctica along the coast to establish a Military Base for any forces he stationed planetside.
The representative from Genosha arrived, it was Polaris. Mike was surprised that Magneto sent his own daughter but according to Kitty this was a good thing. Polaris was significantly less extreme than her father and genuinely wanted peace between mutants and humans.
She was not the only high profile representative that had arrived. Crystal and Iso from the inhumans were sent on behalf of Blackbolt. Donna Troy and Antiope arrived from Themyscira. Mike was getting ambassadors before he even had citizens.
On the topic of citizens the first 300 mutants had arrived the week before and were establishing themselves. There were a good mix of various professions and true to his word no discrimination. He explained that Orb values people on their merits and hard work, not on their race or species.
Hank McCoy had asked to stay on as head of the Education Department. A request that Mike readily agreed to seeing as Hank McCoy was an experienced teacher and had a good idea how to get the education department off the ground.
Jennifer Walters had returned to earth after helping to craft the constitution citing she had work that she couldn't be away from.
Brand had accepted the position as head of the Air and Space forces on the condition she got to keep using the Archangel as her flagship she was apparently rather fond of it.
There where pending requests for Ambassadors for the UN affiliated nations as well as requests for Mike to send his own ambassadors. All in all, Mike was swamped with extra work. Then he got a call from Wakanda. Apparently, they wanted to send Princess Shuri as an ambassador and a representative to oversee cooperation between the nation's. Tachala also asked if it was possible for him to get a mobile suit of his own.
Mike was getting overwhelmed from all the paperwork. Luckily, Kitty and Cassandra were helping where they but it was clear Mike needed the goverment established and functioning quick. Luckily one of the new mutants had a replication ability allowing him to make 50 copies of himself. Mike put him to helping with all of the paperwork.
Quicksilver apparently tired of the constant battles on earth between mutants and humans had followed his sister up to space and was also helping with the extra work.
Cassandra approached one day saying that Bruce Wayne wanted to meet him. When asked what it was about she said it was a mixture of the bat family needing a vacation and them convincing Bruce that they could kill 2 birds with one stone by meeting Mike to discuss buisness matters with Wayne industries.
Black Canary was apparently content with working at Orb and wanted to stay on permanently as a therapist. Superboy wanted to be useful and was learning about construction and was training in rescue work. X23 asked to be a part of the military. In her words fighting was all she knew and she wanted to fight for the people who at least gave her a choice.
Galatea was the problem child, however. She knew she had been used but still felt a bit of loyalty to the man she considered her father. Mike managed to convince her to at least try to live a normal life for a while.
However, she still had the habit of throwing a temper tantrum when she did not get her way. She was getting close to Donna Troy and was mellowing out some under the Amazon's influence. Mike was still not sure how some of the most warlike people on his station were able to calmed her down but he wasn't complaining.
