Alex and Agung recruit a team of teachers and educators, there are 8000 plus children under the age of 16, and 1000 plus elderly.A few hundred of the elderly are in the unproductive age, the governor assigns dozens of caretaker for them. Actually, almost all of this 10.000 people need caretakers, like all the others, they lost their family members.But during hard times, especially disaster time such as this, these people need to be able to take care of themselves.

The best cure for worried and sadness is love, if they can't have it, give them hope if they also lost all hope just gave them something to do.

Agung recruits a few hundred of these elderly and turns them into educators and caretaker for the children. They are not the ideals, but these must be done. At least for now.

DDay +5

Barry and 6 of his friends manage to reach the survival post and were transferred to the Main Base yesterday.They were surprised to see the 4 meters tall concrete wall expands to a few kilometers in the middle of nowhere.The group came with one of the trucks, there were several trucks came with this convoy and it was guarded with armed soldiers. They were dropped outside of the base, at least a few hundred of them altogether. The trucks hurridly back the way they came from, it seems there are more people to transport.

Barry saw the big gate, it was heavily guarded. there were at least a few dozen guards can be seen around the gate. The group went through the gate and placed in one of the big tents. They were waiting to be processed. The survival post, the trucks, the armed guards, the wall and this base. It all gives a feel of security for him. he wonders who prepare all this. The government must be behind this.. did the president survived or was he on this island when the disaster struck?.He wonders.

Each of his friends already got called, it's his turn now, he was somehow nervous. He got many questions in his mind. A man in his thirties helps him.

"Name?"

"Barry Hans"

"Age?"

"16"

"Bali locals?"

"No, I am a student from Jakarta"

"Family in Bali?"

"No, but I came with my friends, we are from the same school and was lived in the same dormitory"

The man seems uninterested with the information Barry added.

"Any special skill?"

"What do you mean?"

"Martial Art, shooting, masonry, carpentry, medical, cooking, teaching, or singing.. any skill at all?"

"..."

"I am a student. I like programming... web design.. yes I can make a good web.."

"Ooo Yes I write novel!! my sci-fi novel got famous on the web... is it count as a special skill?"

"what do you think genius?"

"You're 16 so you must choose... fighter? or worker?"

Barry suddenly thought about the strong people who save him and his friend and then decide"

"Fighter!"

"You sure? it's not recommended for people your age"

"I am sure... A man never back on his word"

"....16 years old, I guess you could be considered half a man"

"This is your identification, your today's two food voucher. You are now part of the Star Army, the army will provide you food, and shelter. In return, you will follow the army command. you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!!"

For joining as fighters, Barry got the red armband, thinking about the path to be a warrior he smiles widely, but then when he got back to the group, none of the others wear the red armband... they all wear a yellow one.

"Guys...why? ...Cynthia.. you didn't even wear an armband.."

"Yes, Barry I am still 15 this year. I'll be going to the education department"

"..."

Barry regrets his decision already... he suddenly thought about shamelessly change to a worker, but he startles with Cynthia next sentences...

"you are wearing the red armband... you really are brave Barry," Cynthia said with eyes full of admiration...

"Yes. I promise... I will train hard and be strong to protect you!!

"..."

the other starring weirdly... is this Barry finally declare his love crush?... Barry suddenly realized what he said and regretted it.... but Cynthia smile and said...

"I believe in you Barry"

Barry's heart beat fast and flutters... but suddenly

PRRRIITTTTTT!!!

ALL RED ARMBAND Gathered up we are moving to Antiga city...

"..."

"NOOOOOOO!!!!..."Barry really cried in his mind. but he tries to keep his cool in front of Cynthia...

"You guys.... take care of each other.. I'll be back soon"

"take care Barry"

Cynthia goes straight to the education division. It was divided into 3 groups.The kindergarten, the Primary and the secondary. Kindergarten, kids from infant to 6 years old.They only learn to read and write. The primary 7 - 12 years old study in mathematics, geography, biology, and moral studies.The secondary, the one Cynthia in, will learn each of the 7 division profession and fighter basic.They will also learn leadership study by taking care of the younger students,Start from today, Cynthia was given in charge of a group of 13-year-old to lead.

Alex spends the last 2 days with his managers, he makes sure everything would run smoothly while he's away. He also gives authority for the 7 managers to do a majority vote on the hard decision if Alex is unreachable.

Alex set up the long-range HAM radio to make sure communication run smoothly. By now lieutenant Rangga has finished his special mission to set up the booster antenna on the westernmost city of Gilimanuk. The two-way radio should be able to travel further by now. The aim is to contact James Randall in East Java, Surabaya city, but until James finished the booster antenna on his side, they won't be able to communicate just yet.Alex thought about preparing this communication antenna beforehand, but there is a big chance the operator will be infected by diseases or the antenna destroyed during the disaster. Alex assigns one of the staff to standby on the main base HAM radio.

Alex plans to explore back the big cities, the army currently still fighting, he wanted to go and help. Before Alex go on his next trip, Alex went to Benny and took the time to read all of the names, He found some names he recognizes, and also a few spirit enhancer he knew from his previous lives.One of them is still underage, The other one is a foreigner from Russia, Alex didn't realize this guy would end up in his base.In his previous life, this guy was supposed to be having a holiday in Bangkok Thailand, not in Bali. Apparently, Alex doomsday intervention did change quite a few things.

Sergei Jacob, A Russian professional wrestler, and entertainer. He was the runner up of last year strongman champions league. A big guy 2 meters tall, arms as big as a tree trunk,short red hair, and a beard. This guy is an earth elements spirit enhancer. He was unconsciously able to connect with the earth energy and give him some abnormal muscle growth and strength.

The guy has a big scary muscle, but he is actually a friendly person, and it's quite easy to recruit him; alcohol and cigars.Fortunately, Alex keeps many of them in storage.Sergei easily decided to join the trip. It's either this or some boring construction manual labor.This time Alex not only bring Aria and Rama, but he also took Cindy and Theo. Alex thought its probably a good idea to trained his best friend some fighting and survival skill, as for Cindy, Alex didn't need to ask, she has been pestering Alex since he got back to the base two days ago.

They will go first thing tomorrow morning, before that, Alex gave 6 stones each to Sergei, Theo, and Cindy. Alex also gave 30 spirit stones to Major Sandi, he trusted these stones to be distributed to the most talented fighters. Tonight Alex spend more time with his family.
