The day was as usual for Benjamin. He woke up, took the bath and wore the new dress bought by him by his new girlfriend. The days were going well as he had landed a good job. The money was good enough to let him live in a good and independent house with enough money to let him wear fresh items after production and take a bath everyday.
The federation had taken over most of the galaxy as humans had indeed defeated the triangular-heads. No human cared what they were called as per the inter-galactic language convention as only the ambassadors and leaders remembered it. Was it necessary to remember any other language or even take the decency to name them in a good and respected manner in the native human language? No! There were no human present who would argue for them as most of the human sufferings were due to them.
Humanity had a lot of history but most of them were erased by the triangular heads. One thing that humans were aware off was that they were a native race unlike most engineered race in the universe.
But that never mattered to Benjamin. He just had to work for 8 hours a day and had to just get enough money to live the life the way he wanted. That was one of the good things of living in the native planet of humanity. It was the beacon of hope for humanity and was the basic place where humanity had begun. So when humanity who paid too much attention onto the emotional part decided that the social order and governance of the home planet would be strict, they meant it.
So no corruption by the government officials, no crimes unpunished and no work hours more than the required hours. He had heard of sad people who had work 14 hours a day and were paid lesser than him when they were more talented than him. Thanks to his grandfather who was a war veteran who had got the right ot reside in the home planet. If one was not interested in becoming a lord or trying to amass power and wants to just live a simple and honest life, Geo-0 was the planet good enough for you.
He smiled and walked outside the house and waited for some time before the bus came. He got on the bus and sat on the chair. Most of the technology had indeed gone beyond the limit but that was not needed to be used by the public as the public never expected too much and the ones who expected too much never were heard.
He kept looking at the buildings whose style has not changed. He smiled thinking about the online date he had. Men like him living on Geo-0 had a huge privilege when it comes to choosing women as many women wants to get married to him and get the right to reside on Geo-0. But he had to deny it as he had to keep in my that the ethics committee had the right to revoke his right to local citizenship of Geo-0.
He smiled seeing his wonderful girlfriend get on the bus and stood up and kissed her. After letting her sit near him, he approached her ear and asked, "When are you planning to introduce your parents to me?"
She smiled and said, "After the annual senate meetings. I have to get selected as the representative."
He smiled at her and said, "Wasn't that already finalized by your brother? Do you want me to put in a word to my parents?"
She shook her head and said, "No need. My design is good enough to let me get enough merits. No one should be foolish enough to not choose me."
He sighed and said, "You should let our family help you. You are far below me in status and I want to get married before I approach my fifties. I only have 300 more years to live."
She got angry slightly and said, "I do not want my success to be named as nepotism."
He shook his head and said, "We all enjoy the fruits of labour of someone else. The sacrifice of many during war are enjoyed by us when they might not even have a single relative alive. They do not fight for their descendants and relatives, they fight because the system of governance asks them to. We are just lucky. Many more talented ones than you do not even have the right to submit designs like you and work hard on designs. If you really want fairness, you should go to N- serires planet and climb up from there."
She got angry and then said, "Why do you always take things to the limit. Why can't I just try hard to achieve something without having to give up the advantage that I have already enjoyed. Who knows, one day you might even ask me to relinquish the human identity and get the identity of a non-human immigrant and then work to climb up."
He sighed and did not speak. He had tried hard to convince her many a time. But that was all for naught. He looked at the oncoming pyramid which was the central building related to designs for warfare. The war was mostly fought by humans but when millions are fighting against each other against invaders or as invaders, the plans has to be followed with absolute precision even if the plan asks to kill your comrade as he or she is an unidentified person even if you are sure that that person was your comrade. All protocols and plans are present for a reason and he was the software engineer who designs situations using AI to simulate the situations related to warfare.
He sighed and got out when they reached the place. He kissed his girlfriend goodbye as the time had reached for them to get separated. After seeing her off, he walked to the other side of the pyramid. He looked outside through the glass pane that projected outside of the pyramid.
He entered his room after signing in.
