text: After almost three decades of ruthless competition amongst the richest people in the world one particular individual, Marco Zælioli, emerged as the first man to break the trillionaire threshold. Impressive about the man was not only that he started from almost nothing, investing at the young age of 18 and that he made his first million by the age of 25, he also was the CEO and creator of the first spacemining agency AND the biggest tech company in the world. His spacemining company owned a huge number of assets such as huge intergalactic mining ships and an almost infinite stock of minerals ranging from precious metals such as platinum and gold to less precious minerals such as hydrogen and carbon. Another special thing about Marco was that he saved millions of lifes during the 2032 climate crisis. Parts of the world had been flooded while others were plagued with diseases and droughts, causing millions to immigrate and creating conflicts at the borders of many nations. Huge immigrant camps were a sad reality during that period wich nobody knew how to adress. Misogynistic politicians further escalated the situation wich reached its critical point in 2034 when one politician suggested to raid the immigrant camps. Fortunately it never came to this thanks to Marco, who showed up just at the right time, opened the doors to his spaceship and gave everybody a free ticket to a new world. A new spacenation was born, of wich he was the founder and president. Most people were transported to the moon wich had previously been terraformed and rendered habitable. However it quickly became selfevident, that to survive the people had to adapt to their new environment, become miners and extract oxygen and water from the lunar surface and other extraterrestrial bodies. On top of that one has to keep in mind that these were all people of different cultures and religions wich led to a huge clash of cultures. Because of this cultural clash and because of the traumatic experiences suffered losing their homes most people abandoned their former religious beliefs while some few went the opposite way of the spectrum becoming more extreme than ever before. However most of these people were expelled by Marcos spacecouncil and sent back to earth. Yes there were some terrible terrorist attacks but fortunately due to the immediate and radical action of the council most unstaible individuals were sent back to earth. This lead to another conflict (we will get to the other great conflict later) with earth threatning to shoot down the shuttles with the "extremists", to with Marco responded that he would see this as an act of war and that he had nukes pointed on all major cities of the earth. He argued that the earthlings were to blame for the climate disaster and that this was part of the price they had to pay. In the end the Earthlings had to give in and accept the troublemaker immigrants also because marco simply had to much technological power (we will come to this later). After a week of intense debate in the 2032 climate crisis summit, held in germany, all nations (exept northkorea) in an effort to stop or at least slow down rising sealevels agreed to a set of terms and conditions wich drastically limited the amount of CO2 emissions per capita, banned the consumption of meat and introduced a new climate tax wich every company had to pay. These actions worked but sadly were too late, as historians would later recall. Millions of people lost their homes and immigrated into space. Thousands died. Some experts estimated that if it wasn't for Marco the world would have been either overpopulated and undernurished due to the lack of land or in a new never before seen worldwar for ressources. Negotiations with the Earth started soon after but the USA aswell as China didnt recognize the spacepeople as a nation and tried to drive a hard bargain on vital ressources such as food wich led Marco and the spacepeople to initially primarly dealing with the EU. This was the first great conflict that emerged between the spacepeople and the earthlings. On top of basically owning space and leading the second biggest nation by population after china, Marco also owned the second most valuable company in the world, wich was actually the company he started with. "Smart Brain Interfaces" was -as the name suggests- a smart glass company wich replaced the smartphone in the early 2030s. With ER technology the glasses could pick up brain waves and brain activity, decode it and use it to take an imput wich would be directly visualized in the smartglasses. It was a genius concept and it didnt take long for people to dump Apple and Samsung for the next big hit. It was a technological revolution and it gave Marco incredible Power from a political point of view. Apple was now mostly a smartwatch company, as smartphones were ridiculed by the masses and regarded as reliques of the past. Infact, the most popular meme of the decade wich racked up more than 10 billion views made fun of smartphone users, wich the meme depicted as "not having enough brainpower to control the smartglasses". On top of the meme there was a picture of a man with smartglasses and a graph over his head performing all sorts of complex brainwaves labeled "big brain smartglass users". In the middle of the caricatures one could see a shimpanzee holding a smartphone in his right hand and a graph over his head showing a flat line without any brainactivity labeled " smooth brained iphone users". Under the two pictures comparing the brainactivity of smartglass and iphone users was a third picture showing Marco during a Smart Brain Interfaces event wearing smartglasses with an off the charts brainactivity. This was a reference to one of Marcos presentations in wich he failed using the smartglasses due to a technical error. This is my first short story and i hope people enjoy it at least a little bit. Upvote if you want to see a part two after this long and interesting exposition. I have some great ideas for the actual story but i don't know if its worth it to continue and i am currently out of time. If i get over 25 upvotes i will do a part two Edit 1: spelling and additional information. Ps.: please drop mistakes in the comments. I am very bad at commas and english is not my main language.
