222 Machine Empire Part Two

"You can stay here. It acts as the main factory and a place where we research new technologies. And as you can see It also works as the place where I run the government from. But the upper floors also have apartments which you can stay in." John said as he stood up. He touched something on his arm and a small holographic screen displayed just above his hand. "Saadi, come to my office."

A few minutes later a young woman around twenty years of age walked into the office. She looked at John and bowed slightly. "You asked for me, sir?"

"Yes, take our esteemed guest to the best suite on the top floor. Miss Misaki, please follow Saadi, she will bring you to your residence. She will also serve you during this time. You are allowed to go anywhere you wish." John said with a smile.

Misaki nodded and greeted Saadi. "I will be in your care." 

"Likewise." Saadi said with a smile while motioning with her hand for Misaki to follow.

Misaki was led to an elevator that after she got in, Saadi used a special key to allow them to reach the top floor. "The top floor is one full apartment. It has seven bedrooms, ten servant quarters, eight baths, a living room, A kitchen, dining room, game room, and a full bar. It also has access to the roof which has a swimming pool with a glass bottom overlooking the city."

"Very extravagant." Misaki replied. She had her own quarters back on Earth but it was not as extravagant as this single apartment. 

"It is usually only used for the leader of the Machine Empire. But he rarely comes to this universe." Saadi explained.

Hearing Saadi's words, Misaki caught some useful information. "What do you mean by this universe?"

"Our people did not completely originate from this universe. Our founders came from another more highly advanced universe. You could say that this universe was strange in how it is set up. Think of it like this. We, as a highly advanced civilization, do not need to worry about reaching new realms of cultivation since we use science as a means to advance and create new things. The leader of the Machine Empire a few million years ago created a device to tear a hole in time and space that broke through dimensional walls. This allows us to traverse the multiverses and settle down our race in each universe. Normally we find a civilization that is highly advanced and contact them and then advance their technology by millions of years. 

"With this advancement, we are able to grab a foothold in the new universe. There are three universes all together and our Machine race has a foothold in all three. The strange thing is that this universe works with different laws. While the other two have the same laws in how they function as a whole. This universe is broken down into many layers.

"My guess is it is only because you are from the different universes that you are able to understand all of this. It is truly amazing." Misaki had no idea that there were many different universes. This really intrigued her to the point that she kind of wished she could check out one of these universes for herself. 

"You are correct. It is because we risked it all to travel to these multiverses that we are able to understand the makeup of this one. If not, all I could say is that what you see today would not exist. We of the Machine Empire in this universe owe our current lives to the Leader of the Machine Empire, Charles Folson. He is a good man who only wishes to have normal humans like us who have nothing but science as their way of means to live happy and fulfilling lives." Saadi showed an expression of worship as she spoke of the Leader of the Machine Empire.

"Maybe one day I can check out one of these multiverses for myself. May I take a look at the device that allows you to transverse these different universes?" Misaki asked.

"This is no problem. The governor has said you may see any technology you wish. The leader of the Machine Empire has allowed it." Saadi said with a smile.

"Then let's check it out tomorrow." Misaki said as she stepped off the elevator and into the small hallway that led to a single door. 

"Then I will take you there tomorrow morning. This here is your residence while you are in the Machine Empire. One second and I will register you with the locking system." Saadi pressed the door frame to the side and opened a panel. She then guided Misaki so she could register her handprint and magic signature. After completing the procedures Saadi opened the door and said: ��There, now the only ones registered to open this door are you and I. I will settle my things into one of the servant quarters feel free to choose a room for yourself."

"Saadi treat yourself well and pick one of the bedrooms. It is just you and I no need to think of this as a master-servant relationship. Just go about your normal duties and at night treat yourself well with a nice big room and private bath." Misaki said as she walked into the apartment.

Saadi faintly smiled and said: "As you wish."
