Projekt Red POV

A Ten Minutes After Doktah Arata Met Blaze For The First Time....

"Hmm....Dotkah?" Red asked as opened my eyes

When Red woke up, Doktah wasn't asleep in his bed. This scared Red until Red saw a letter Doktah left for me on his desk.

"Red, I woke up early to get a headstart on my work for the day. I didn't want to wake up, so I decided to leave this note for you so you wouldn't freak out. You can find me at the office when you finish reading this. I hope you slept okay." signed Doktah Arata

This makes Red very happy. Red was really worried about Doktah after what happened yesterday. I'll let Kal'sit know what happend & Red will then check in on Dotkah after that-

"W-w-w-what!!!!" yelled Doktah Arata outside his dorm

Doktah Arata is yelling! That must mean that Doktah is in danger! Red will save him!!! Red quickly rushed out of Doktah 's dorm to see where he was.....but Red was surprised at what she saw.

"HIYA RED!! JUST HELPING DOKTAH ARATA TO OFFICE!!! SEE YA LATER!!!" yelled Blaze with a giddy smile while she carried Doktah Arata in her eyes

"Bye?" Red said as Red waved goodbye to Blaze & Doktah

Okay....Red will tell Kal'sit about this now. Why was Blaze carrying Doktah like he was food? Maybe Amiya can tell Red more about this. Just as Red was about to see Kal'sit, I saw the feline, which some call depression cat watching the whole thing.

"What just happened!? Is Doktah Arata alright!? Why was Blaze carrying him like that!? Is she gonna eat the Doktah!?" yelled Jessica with a confused expression

"If it helps, Red is just as confused as you, depression cat." Red said before rushing off to see Kal'sit

"W-wait what!? Is that what some people call me!?" yelled Jessica with an even more confused expression

Red hopes Doktah will be alright. Red will do her best to take of Doktah whenever he's in danger!

Doktah Arata POV

A One Minute Later In His Office...

W-wow....I-i-i think my l-life flashed before my eyes. I need to remind Blaze to never do that again.....I need a coffee....

"Hey Doktah, are you feeling alright? Sorry if that surprised you." asked Blaze with a concerned expression

"I-it's alright. J-just let me know when you're gonna do something like that again." I replied with a reassuring wave

"Okay then! Is there anything else you need from me?" asked Blaze with a smile

"U-umm...I could use some coffee. If that's alright with you, of course." I replied in a nervous tone

"Coffee! I'll get right on it!" said Blaze before rushing off to get my coffee

Phew....if there's more people like her in Rhodes Island....I seriously need to learn to get used to their behavior. Welp...I guess I better get a look of what my work is today. Huh...it's only one thing.

"Meeting with Karlen Trade today at-" I read aloud until I heard the doors to my office open up

"Hello Doktah. I'm Enciodes Silverash, leader of Karlen Trade. Please Excuse this sudden interruption." said Silverash as he walked in with two male individuals

"O-oh! H-hello!" I said as I quickly stood up from my desk

"Sorry again for arriving unexpectedly. But I'd really want to meet the Great Doktah of Rhodes Island that I've been hearing so much about. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." said Sliverash with a calming expression

Alrighty then....I guess I'm doing this!!! Okay....deep breathes Arata! You can do this!!! Although I am curious about the two male individuals Silverash brought with him.

"Ahh, forgive my rudeness. These two are Courier & Matterhorn. They're one of my most trusted men & they insisted that they accompany me on this trip here. I hope you don't mind." said Silverash with a calming expression

"Hello!" said Courier with a smile

"It's pleasure." said Matterhorn with a polite bow

"Not at all, Mr.Silverash. Now, what would you like to discuss with me? Oh, I hope that you're aware of my current status?" I asked in a curious tone

"Yes, I'm aware of your memory loss. But I've learned that you've been able to help lead Rhodes Island with its leader Amiya in hopes of creating a cure for Oripathy despite all that. It's quite impressive actually." replied Silverash with a nod

"Well thank you very much. I hope that I can live up to expectations that you've set for me. Now then, let's get back on track then." I said in a serious tone

"Yes. I wanted to get to know you better & hopefully form a partnership between my company & Rhodes Island. And from the looks from this conversation, I think that'll happen soon enough." said Silverash with a serious expression

"Ahh...I see. May I ask if there are any other reasons for you forming this partnership?" I asked with an intrigued expression

"Hmm. I see that you're just as perceptive. There is another reason. Courier, Matterhorn, leave us in private." said Silverash as he signaled them to leave the room

In a matter of seconds, Courier & Matterhorn exited the office to give Silverash & I some privacy. I was surprised & concerned at my current situation...but I'll let it play out since I trust Silverash won't try anything.

"You see....one of my sisters has Oripathy. Her name is Encia & she's been getting treated as soon as she contracted Oripathy. I hope you can see where I'm going with this Doktah." said Silverash with a somber expression

"I-i see....I'm so sorry." I said with in somber tone

"Thanks. I heard that she's been doing just fine here & is currently working as an operator as a Specialist class." said Silverash with more relaxed expression

"Really? Well I hope I can meet her & get to know her better. Do you happen to know what her operator name is?" I asked with in an intrigued tone

"I think her operator name is Cliffheart. But that aside, what do you think of forming a partnership with me?" replied Silverash with an intrigued expression

"Well...how about we go over the details on how this partnership should go & once I've talked it over with higher ups....I think this partnership would be very beneficial for both our companies." I said with in a serious tone

"Well that's good to hear. Shall we begin then, Doktah?" asked Silverash with a hopeful expression

"After you." I replied while I motioned back to my desk

After Silverash told me more about himself & his reasons for forming this partnership with Rhodes Island, we got down to discussing our terms for this partnership for about 10 minutes. During those 10 minutes, Blaze came back with Projekt Red my coffee & the pair waited outside with Courier & Matterhorn until my meeting with Silverash was done.

One Hour Later....

"Well I think that's everything that we needed to discuss. We'll get back to you as soon as possible. Mr.Silverash." I said as I stood up from my desk

"Please, call me Enciodes. And I hope to hear from you as soon as possible." said Silverash as he extended his hand out for a handshake

"Likewise, Enciodes. Call me Arata." I said as I shook his hand in a hopeful tone

But just as we were wrapping this meeting up, the door to my office files open & we were met by a female feline that had similar traits to Enciodes. Hmmm I wonder if this is his younger sister.

"Big brother!! Why didn't you tell me that you were visiting!!!" yelled Cliffheart with an excited expression

"Ah Encia. Sorry about that, I was busy with the Doktah here." replied Silverash with a happy expression

"Ummm...hi?" I said while I waved nervously at Cliffheart
