With the Nexus appearing and the background checks , he was certain that there wouldn’t be any major problems among those who were coming .

  There would be people who would need treatment or who were older , but with the nanites , that wouldn’t be a problem anymore in the long run .

  Helena and Alex made something to eat and were watching tv while waiting for the first people of their island , curious about all that was going to happen.

  The first to arrive were an elderly couple with their disabled son .

  The couple had spent their entire savings on medical treatments and had even sold their house .

  They eagerly accepted Da’grass invitation because it offered free treatment for their son and housing .

  Despite having no formal medical education , they had extensively studied their son’s disability and contributed to his diagnosis .

  Their son had an imagination that would rival the best writers , but his condition seemed to doom him to failure.

  Struck by this sight , Helena nudged Alex to do something about it .

  Alex , knowing what she meant , told them to go straight to the small hospital and await his arrival .

  After the elderly couple left with their son for the hospital , Alex told Helena that she and Sam were in charge of receiving the new occupants .

  If they encountered similar people , they should send them to the hospital .

  Helena insisted that Sam could handle it alone , and that she would be joining him so that she could help him with food and company .

  After informing Sam , they both left for the hospital , bringing their lap tops and a bunch of movies .

  They would be spending a lot of time in the hospital .

  When they arrived at the hospital , they told the family that they would treat their son and asked them if what they would choose to study if they ever wanted to .

  Their son wanted to study literature , and the couple wanted to study medicine so that they could alleviate the pain of others after witnessing their son’s suffering .

  Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

  They told the family a great deal about the nanites , which initially made the family think that they had wandered in a cult that wanted to experiment on them .

  However , after a few minutes of explanation and with nothing to lose , they accepted the treatment .

  they promised that if it worked , they would manage the hospital until it was no longer needed.

  They let them eat and drink and after making them as comfortable as possible they injected the nanites .

  Alex and Helena spend the time watching movies with the occasional cuddle. Sam send those who were disabled or overly weakened due to disease to the hospital .

  After which , they repeated their conversations with the new patients .

  It seemed that the diseased were to first to come to the island because of the promise of free treatment .

  Luckily , they received help after almost 3 days from a bewildered old couple who looked as if they were in their mid-twenties .

  They were overly happy that their son was as healthy as could be .

  After another week , Da’grass informed them that Carther from the government had send them a package of technology to be released by him .

  It was mostly medicine for the treatment of various diseases , with the most eye catching one being for uncontrolled cell growth .

  Alex told Da’grass to handle it like they had done previously , with the sole difference being to give the new government full credit .

  After another 2 days Da’grass told him that the first portal was ready and asked for instructions .

  Keeping in mind that the workers on the island would soon be finished he ordered him to stow it on the ship for transportation .

  He also asked Da’grass to start ordering as many different seeds as possible needed for the colony .

  In response , Da’grass told Alex that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ship different kinds of cattle and meat for production purposes .

  Alex gave him full authority to order what he thought was necessary for the colony .

  The warehouses would be fully stocked with seeds and furniture .

  After another 4 days , the worst influx of patients seemed to be over .

  He asked the couple to keep the next people in the hospital until there were enough to do them in batches of 3 days .

  This way , he wasn’t confined to the hospital 24/7 and he could get a much-appreciated breather.

  Da’grass assured him that once in the colony , he wouldn’t be confined to one building because he could link with the Ai of the colony for this kind of work .

  The only problem was the Quantity of nanites , but this could be solved by letting them replicate in vats with nutrients .

  After another 3 days the last of the treated woke up and he was free to leave the hospital .

  Alex and Helena were happy to leave the hospital , despite not being necessary Helena never left Alex’s side .

  “I thought they were going to worship you when they awoke” said Helena .

  “They were very grateful indeed , at some times even scarily grateful” said Alex.

  “The women would have borne your children if you had asked them .

  I reminded them that you were taken” said a mischievous Helena .

  “So , that is the reason you were staying by my side .

  I thought it was because you couldn’t bear the thought of being without me” Alex said with a smile .

  Helena looked him in the eyes , smiled and kissed him.

  “That too” she said “but a guy who’s got the attention of many girls can’t be trusted to much .

  The mind is strong but the flesh is weak” and she laughed .

  Let’s go met up with Sam , he hasn’t seen us for a while .

  “Very well , my mistress , lead the way” said Alex with a smile .
