《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》A day to give part 2

Rufus went to help Emilia.
"Oh thank you."
"Ah, don't mention it."
Emilia was wearing pretty good clothes and stood out in the shelter, but everyone seemed to adore her. She was handing out food, helping the elderly, and playing childish games with the kids.
"Aaaah, you met Emilia Rosewalk. Yeah, she is a strange one alright. She is a complete saint and is nothing like the other nobles. Her parents also have come here often to help out. A minor house, but they still give out to the people who need help," Daria explained.
Rufus was stunned also by how beautiful Emilia was. A perfect rose in his opinion. Beautiful long hair and a smile that could melt an iceberg.
"Oooooh. Are you getting interested in her boss?" Leif asked and grinned at Rufus.
"Ooooh. That would be a great love story. Beauty and the gangster. That's what we will call it." Daria said.
"Oh I can see already someone making a book out of it," Leif said jokingly.
"Aaaaa, cmon guys! It's not like that!" Rufus yelled out of embarrassment.
~~
Later when the celebrations were over people were starting to go home or start to sleep in the shelter. Only the wild parties of the nobles were still raging, apparent from the glows from their windows.
"Aaaaah, You must be Rufus. The `VILE' boss of the black rats." Emilia came and surprised Rufus.
"Vile. Who said that. I mean…I…"
"Hahahaha. Just kidding. Based on what I heard from the people here, the black rat gang has changed and it was all thanks to you. I do admit, I was first a bit intimidated by you. Being a gang boss and everything. After hearing about you from all of them repainted the picture of you in my head."

"Aaaaah thank god."
"And seeing you all flustered and embarrassed proved you are no scary guy," laughed Emilia.
Rufus felt comfortable talking to Emilia and completely forgot the fact she was a noble. He had a hard time liking nobles, understandably one of them had killed Harley.
"How a noble like you ended up here to help? It is kind of rare."
"Oooooh….Are you discriminating against me, because I am noble?"
Rufus didn't answer. Emilia realized that the joke wasn't funny to those people the nobles had wronged.
"I know we nobles take many things for granted in this kingdom. They rather turn a blind eye to reality and live a comfortable life in their bubble. Nonetheless, there are still some of us who wish to help the average person. I was lucky to be born into a good family. We are well off, but not extremely wealthy. We govern and run just a small plot of land outside the city walls."
Rufus was stunned how he saw a noble bad mouth other nobles so easily and talk about the actual problems of the kingdom.
"My parents raised me to take care of others. They are truly wonderful parents. They taught me that not all people are as fortunate as we are. That we must help the common folk. Others may be blind, but that is no excuse for us to be."
"Seems like good parents." smiled Rufus.
"Aren't they. I wish I'd see one day a kingdom of smiles."
Rufus felt like he had heard that phrase somewhere before. A fancy carriage came to the front of the shelter. From inside it, prince Markus dashed out.
"Emilia. We need to get going. Your parents are waiting for you at the Royal Palace."

Rufus and Markus locked eyes. Both were confused about what the other person was doing there.
"Aaaaaah, Markus. You should have come here. We needed your help. We luckily got some extra help from this guy here." said Emilia and pointed at Rufus.
The confusion between Markus and Rufus grew larger.
"Eh…. Do you two know each other?"
"NO!" they yelled out at the same time.
Markus started to get mad. He didn't want Rufus to get too close to Emilia. Markus thought everyone was a threat to Emilia, even himself partly, especially since their relationship was a secret from everyone.
"Byeeee. Was nice to meet you, Rufus," Emilia waved and said goodbye.
The carriage took Emilia and Markus away from the shelter. Rufus was still extremely confused. Inside the carriage, Markus felt irritated.
"Emilia. Do not hang around that person anymore."
"Huh. Why?"
"He is dangerous."
"But I know that he's the boss of the black rat gang, but he is really…"
"I know that…. He is dangerous in another way."
Emilia was confused. Markus feared letting Emilia get mixed in with his mission and Rufus was one of the main players in it.

Elizabeth, Elizabeth
An astroid miner encounters pirates attempting to commandeer his processing ship, Elizabeth, while he was away responding to other miner's mayday. The miner (Jeffrey Sokolov) and his Artificial Intelligence (Elizabeth - both the ship and AI were named after Jeffrey's late wife,) outsmart the pirates, capture them and bring them back to the Earth/Moon station - where they attempt to turn them over to the Naval ship, Wanigan. However Wanigan is in the process of mutiny. The executive officer of Wanigan sends a small squad of Marines under command of a petty officer. The petty officer realizes an opportunity, convinces Sokolov to join her cause, and together with the AI (Elizabeth) re-take the Navy ship, and restore her captain to command. In order to perform these acts, Sokolov and the ship Elizabeth are drafted into Navy Reserve. The captain of the Navy ship Wanigan re-recruits Jeffrey to act in a secret capacity, he is given an almost unlimited credit, the squad of Marines that came aboard to arrest Jeffrey, and the petty officer. Piracy and corruption are overly common, but Jeffrey, his team and his AI defeat the enemy, only to have it resurface shortly afterward. Aliens from several surrounding regions have found Earth and the solar system to be a rich source of mineral wealth. They secretly tried to manipulate humans to doing their will, and Jeffrey discovered that they were the organizers and force behind the piracy. Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available. Jeffrey and Elizabeth improve on the Navy's technical innovations, incorporate alien technology into their ship, and continue to dominate the region infested with aliens with somewhat superior and somewhat inferior technology. This is the saga of a technically sophisticated man, his smart and loyal artificial intelligence, and the people he surrounds himself with.
