Chapter 133 That little brat!
The 'doctors wanted' ad had been up on the communications page of the blue star for only one hour when it was answered. When the applicant was asked to fill in their details however, they made a request. The request for their entire family to move here which was not unusual. It was expected in fact for the doctors to move here with their entire families but this family consisted of one RGB captain, the dean of Fordham medical school, two active mecha warriors and one GBCS officer.
"Does the dean of a medical school qualify to be called a doctor?" one of the employees asked Beord.
"Wouldn't he have to be a doctor to occupy that position in the first place?" Beord answered that question with one of his own.
"This family has some members with really impressive credentials. Do you really think that a serving dean, an active RGB captain, two active mecha warriors and a GBCS officer would willingly move here." another employee asked his neighbor. He was the one in charge of the final approval if Beord gave him a go ahead.
"I don't know." the female colleague shrugged. "Besides, what's wrong with our star? Are you not proud of coming from our blue star?"
"No, no way, I am very proud. I am just saying that it would be hard for me to give up such a lucrative position to move here and start from scratch." the other hurried to explain himself to his female colleague that he also had a big crush on.
She spun around in her seat and said 'I understand what you mean but maybe there is a reason why they have to move. Who are we to reject talent when we need it so much? Approve of the application and send it to the job department of city hall. When their identities are confirmed we will simply input their information into the system and that's that. Everything else is outside our jurisdiction. Keep in mind that every star is supposed to have an RGB headquarters and a mecha warrior station, this can be considered killing two birds with one stone as the governor says. We get an RGB captain that will head that office here, a GBCS officer and a doctor who is also a professor apparently. I think the stone kills three to four birds in this case."
The colleague smiled agreeably and approved of the application.
Ten minutes later, dean Sham Langais was contacted by someone from city hall and told that his application had been approved and could move to the blue star immediately. He thought it was a prank call until the head of the academy called him in to ask if he was really resigning. Once more, he was confused but he could see it in the system that he had resigned with immediate effect stating exhaustion of his mental state. One thing that could get you out of almost anything on the Sun star was a mental related issue. Those were taken extremely seriously for fear that they could escalate, causing one to harm others.
"I really didn't resign." Dean Sham tried his best to deny and explain.
In the eyes of the academy head and other teachers, he appeared to be ill with the way he frantically tried to explain himself.
"Look at me, do I look ill?" he approached them but they backed away from him.
"Just take a break Sham, we can discuss your return after your break." the academy head said.
Dean Sham gave up on explaining and he flew home to explain to his family the perplexity of the situation he had encountered. But when he returned, he found his three sons in the same boat. All of them had tendered resignations or requested for transfers.
"How could this happen?" he asked them.
"You have one trouble making daughter that has been singing about wanting to move to the blue star for a month and miserable because only ex mecha warriors are being approved. What did you expect?" his wife asked.
"That little brat Mina did this!!" Zorl, the eldest son and a captain in the RGB exploded.
He was not willing to move, he had worked hard to become a captain, dedicating hours to his job.
"We are wiling to move," the twins, his younger brothers Dan and Steve, mecha warriors volunteered happily.
"That's because your mecha king moved there, you all want a chance to join Esong's army but what about me?" Zorl complained angrily. "Mina is being selfish dad, I have a life here."
"What life, all you do is work." his mother mumbled.
"Mother," he said angrily, "This is happening because you indulge her, you have raised her to become extremely spoiled. Why else does she not have any boundaries? Even between family members there must be boundaries." he emphasized.
"Did I raise her alone?" his mother questioned. "Did you all not play a role in her upbringing? Besides, your sister has said that they are looking for a professor of medicine and doctors, they also want a head of the entire blue star RGB. This is an opportunity for you to go from captain to head of the RGB, it's a good move for that career which you love so much. Your father too can go from an ordinary dean at a mediocre medical school to running an entire university or being in charge of every hospital on the blue star. They have made advancements in plants, what do you think this will do for the field of medicine and pharmacy??Let's not think on small levels, let us think big like Nutri nutrient company. They have launched a variety of snacks today and they sold out within ten minutes. Instead of looking at food as a threat like the other nutrient companies, they saw an opportunity and now they will forever be remembered as the first company to launch an edible product in the capital. You know that they are going to be included in the history books, the ministry of education has sent officials to talk to them already. We should look at this as a new opportunity to do the same. In fact, you two should recruit others and take them with us to show the governor that you are proactive and useful. Change is coming, we should be at it's fore front not at the back."
Bella Langais was a wise woman, it was true that she spoiled her daughter Mina but Mina had not made this decision alone. They had discussed it together and seen that the pros outweighed the cons.
Like a sloth, Mina came out of her hiding place slowly and peeped at her father and brothers. She sharpened her small mouth and laughed nervously, "Are you still mad at me?" She was worried about Zorl most especially.
"Who is mad at anyone?' Zorl looked around as if he was confused. "You were thinking about our careers, all is well. Anyway, when do we leave?"
