90 Organising * (1/2)

Lachlan stared into Tyler's eyes with determination to make this man acknowledge him, and he knew there was a really simple way to do just that. He walked over to the machinery and gestured Tyler to follow, once they reached it Lachlan placed his hand on the bonnet.

”Bet, if I lose the arm wrestle I'll leave your daughter alone, but if I win, you have to acknowledge me as her boyfriend,” Lachlan was making use of Tyler's weaknesses and gambling just happened to be one of them, there was also overprotective, it was the perfect way to lure him in.

Tyler thought for a moment before grabbing onto Lachlan's hand and placing his elbow on the bonnet as well, ”You better keep to your words young man.”

Lachlan grinned when he saw him agree, he didn't think it would work so easily, no wonder it's listed as a weakness. Lachlan quickly gripped slightly tighter, he looked towards Tyler, ”3, 2, 1, go!”

*Bang*

Lachlan slammed Tyler's hand into the bonnet, leaving a small dent. Tyler's face turned to show once the realisation hit him, this young man was more then he looked. Holding up his hand he noticed it was bright red and swollen, he had never experienced such strength before, aside from what beasts wield.

”It seems it's my win,” Lachlan said confidently.

Phoebe came running over and grabbed Lachlan's hand, ”That's enough, there's no need to hurt my dad just to get his acknowledgement.”

”But it certainly was much easier,” Lachlan joked as he wrapped his arms around Phoebe, ”Glad to see you again.”

”Yeah, yeah, let go now, we have a lot of work to do,” Phoebe said.

”Alright, alright, I suppose we should organise everyone into their specialties first,” Lachlan suggested as he walked over and sat down by the coconuts, bringing one up to his mouth and taking a sip.

”I'll help with the building since I did work as an architect,” Harrison said from the side. No one was really surprised, he looked like the type of person that designs things, now they just know what he designs.

”Well that's really convenient,” Chloe snarked from the side, Flynn was next to her. During the time the families were getting off Flynn had woken up, but the children were still resting peacefully.

”I want to relax in that cave Joe told me so much about, I can't deal with all this violence, not to mention I know a thing or two about taking care of a farm,” Dakota said. Lachlan was actually slightly happy someone volunteered to start farming so early, it was something that was essential for them after all.

”I'll also help with the farming, I don't have a talent for this whole taming business,” Tyler said as he looked down, disappointed plastered across his face as he clenched his fists. Although Lachlan wasn't too sure how Tyler knew about his low compatibility, he wasn't all that surprised, living in the real world where everyone around you grows stronger and gains abilities while you stay powerless. It certainly won't feel good.

Sam, Tamika, and Maddie all volunteered to take care of the children while everyone builds. They suggested they go to the caves since they'll be fairly safe there, not to mention the really friendly environment.

The day passed rather quickly after that. Although it wasn't all that impressive, they managed to build a few huts connected to the tree, granted it look all of Aaron's strength to pierce just the bark with its beak.

However, after that, they just needed to stick the longs that were used for the foundation in and the rest was much easier from there. The huts were only placed a few metres above the tree roots, mainly to avoid any flooding that could possibly occur here.

They connected them with wooden bridges, nothing too special as it was created with whole logs rather than planks due to the difficulty of cutting the longs perfectly in half. As for the roof, that was obviously created using the coconut tree leaves due to their large size.

”Just wondering, what should happen if we leave these houses outside the nullified area?” Harrison asked. He understood the gravity stones fairly quickly, especially once he owned one. However, he also knew how physics work and while these houses were still in a nullified area they were unaffected, once they leave they'll have to take on the full force of the gravity.

”Well, although I'm not too sure, if we leave a gravity stone here activated then I don't think there'll be any problems,” Lachlan said as he scratched his head in embarrassment as to why he hadn't thought about it.

”We should probably do some tests and if there are no limits that'll be wonderful, but if there are we should find out now,” Harrison suggested sternly, and no one could or should refute that.

Flynn decided to stay and activate his high ranked stone while Lachlan and Simon go out testing because they'll use their birds to help. It didn't take too long to find out the answer, the limit depended on the rank of the stone obviously, but fortunately, the limit beyond what they expected for all of them.

They tested it by nullifying all gravity and throwing it in a straight line, someone will fly along with it until it fell, and they recorded the distance. The tried a few times with each stone to get a better estimate.

However, what they found it was beyond shocking. The limit of the high ranked stone was simply too much, they all knew how much more dangerous these stones just became if they got into the wrong hands. Especially the high ranked stones that can still be used even when it goes 4000 kilometres away.

During that test, it took so long they decided in not doing another one, hell, during the test they were tempted to just stop and say that it can go forever. Fortunately, they decided not to and managed to get a much more accurate reading.

The most shocking thing about it wasn't necessarily the distance of the high ranked stone, but the sheer size of the gap from the medium ranked and high ranked stones.

During the test, it went fairly normal, although still slightly amazing. The low ranked stones can continue being used for up to 200 kilometres, the medium was 400 kilometres which was only doubled. But high ranked stones got 4000 kilometres, it increased by a multiple of 10.

They went back and told everyone the information which left them all stunned. They were also completely fine with leaving a few high ranked stones around the place to nullify the gravity. Lachlan was fine with it as well considering they're already surrounded by high ranked stones.

Once it was time for dinner all the older people gathered together in the main part of the cave where the children were. The children had their dinner at a separate time and were already back to playing. They had their dinner only half an hour earlier so that the rest of the group can also start planning.

Everyone was already onboard with the whole idea of protecting these unique children, but theory and practice are completely separate things.

The whole idea and theory behind why they should protect these children are good, but how well can they do it, and at what scale do they do it at. They are currently located near Australia, the most isolated country. How are they supposed to make an impact on countries like America, China or Russia?
