The elevator descended smoothly, silent except for the soft hum of electricity and whirring of cables and pulleys. When it reached the Lobby level, Joriya stepped out into an immaculately clean glistening white room with a pressure chamber beyond it, designed to keep any escaped bio-contaminants trapped and unable to leave the underground facility, as nobody wanted a Tanuki City Incident, despite the fact that the Tanuki City Incident was just a series of games and movies.

He crossed the cleanroom and input his personal code while slipping into the system with his Connection to technology and sighing as he realized how he really needed to develop a System Firewall to prevent Connection Hacking. The door beeped and asked for his secondary confirmation code since he didn't have retinal or handprint on file. After entering the second set of digits, the door clicked and hissed as it retracted into the wall revealing the pressure chamber for him to enter, which he did so.

After passing through the pressure chamber, he walked down the Research and Development for physical illness and damage, surprising a couple of scientists who had gotten back to work after their tutorials had ended. He connected to the intercom system of the facility and smiled to himself. "Greetings and salutations, my employees. My name is Joriya Alvinos, CEO of Advanced Robotics Corporation. As most of you probably realize, our former currency of the US Dollar will likely be worthless shortly. As the CEO of ARC, I first wish to apologize to all of you who might encounter difficulties during this transition, however, we shall be going through a full employee review and evaluation, including benefits from the System you can bring to our Company, and converting your paychecks to PPP Coin unless you wish a different form of payment, which we will discuss during the individual meetings.

"I do not intend to cut anyone from our payroll, but with everyone having different Trials, we should look to what you can bring to the table for better pay. For those of you who are wondering about the Global Announcements, as a member of Gruugus the Fierce's Faction, I have installed a Space Station as a Special Reward to a Secret Quest. Advanced Robotics Corporation is the first Earth-based Company that has access to the next generation of Galactic Technology. We will be opening the Station to researchers, crafters, and many others who work for us."

Joriya reached the end of the biological wing and passed through another series of cleanrooms and pressure rooms before he made it to an unused interconnection, which he went into one of the lounge-like rooms and pulled out his Shop Access Token and confirmed the usage of it to turn the unclaimed breakroom into a System Shop.

*DING*

You have created a permanent System Shop Access Point. This is the 83rd System Shop not automatically generated by the System. You receive 1,000 PPP. You will receive 1% of the base PPP price spent in this zone. Would you like to add a tax on sales from this System Zone?

[Create Tax]/[Decline]

He declined to add a tax to the Shop but decided to spend the thousand PPP he had just earned, after his discounts, on a Tier 5 City Core, and receiving two hundred PPP back from the purchase value, making him smile. "We now have a System Shop located at the unclaimed breakroom in the expansion zone between Robotics and Biological R&Ds. Feel free to spend your PPP here, untaxed. I am going to be activating a City Core, which will take the entirety of our underground facility here and make it into an expandable Underground City, recognized by the System, which will give us the benefits of being a City. Don't worry about the pop-ups that appear.

"After I am done with setting up the City Core, I personally am going to be finishing my programming of the first true Digital Intelligence, and I hope to install it into System Supplied Nanite Swarms so that it can be its own real being instead of trapped inside a hard drive. If you have any questions, feel free to speak to Logan, as he will still be in charge of the day-to-day running of the company, and the new city we will be becoming."

Joriya left the Shop room, smiling to himself as he activated the City Core. A huge wave of power washed through the underground facility, cataloging everything as he made his way to the Robotics R&D, and into the private office that Logan had set up for him to work at if he ever managed to regain control of his body. As he sat down, everything shifted from the concrete and steel to the standard high tech and magic compliant materials.

*DA-DA-DA*
