Macol's mouth slightly curled up, forming an almost imperceptible smile. "Very well, I will have the technical department prepare all the necessary observation devices and data for you. Your mission is to comprehensively observe the political, cultural, technological, and war conditions of this world, and report back all important information."
Neil took a deep breath, fully understanding the significant importance of this mission. He clenched his fist and silently told himself that this was not just an observation mission, but also an opportunity for growth and self-improvement.
"Understood, I will do my best to complete this mission." Neil nodded for the last time, turned and left the main observation room. His mind was already racing, thinking about how to execute this important observation mission more accurately and thoroughly.
Macol stared at the communication device in his hand, took a deep breath, and pressed the emergency recall button. Instantly, a strong signal spread out, reaching the exclusive receivers of various departments throughout The Eye of the Philosopher headquarters.
"All observers, technical departments, and relevant personnel, report to the 'Cosmic Rift' laboratory immediately. This is a top-level emergency recall," Macol's voice echoed through every corner of the headquarters via the global broadcast.
Neil stood in a corner of the crowd, holding a tablet in his hand. He was studying preliminary data about the world they were about to observe. The data showed that in this world, democratic politics were gradually rising as a popular governance model. However, oligarchic politics were also quietly emerging, like a snake waiting to strike.
This world is full of cultural diversity, where music, fine arts, and various ideological concepts collide and merge. Murals, sculptures, and various artworks depict deities, heroes, and ordinary people, showcasing a vibrant and creative society.
Despite the outward appearance of peace and prosperity, social unrest in this world is quietly intensifying. Many records of parliaments and public gatherings mention a sense of unease about the future, foreshadowing an impending upheaval.
This is a world full of potential but also extremely unstable, filled with contradictions and drama. Neil feels a mix of excitement and anxiety, as if standing at a crucial turning point in history.
Suddenly, there is a rush of hurried footsteps in the corridor, like a gathering of ants. The office door slams open, and the data on the screen is momentarily forgotten. In the observation room, various advanced observation devices are quickly shut down, and the observers set aside their tools and notes.
High-tech "interstellar interstice" laboratory, a place that was originally only manned by a few experts, suddenly became bustling. People flocked in from all directions, as if they were being drawn in by a magnetic force.
There was a heavy and solemn atmosphere in the air, silence and anticipation intertwined on everyone's faces. Many people's eyes turned to Macol, waiting for further instructions from him.
Macol stood on the high platform, carefully inspecting the densely packed members of The Eye of the Philosopher below. He nodded, then spoke: "Everyone, today's emergency recall was requested personally by the Supreme Leader. This mission is extremely important for us and for the entire organization. However, please rest assured that there will be compensation in the form of time off and overtime pay."
The group gathered in the "Cosmic Interstice" laboratory, creating a noisy atmosphere. Macol stood at the front, his expression serious, like an unyielding stone wall. When he mentioned that this emergency order was issued personally by the Supreme Leader, the entire room fell into a stunned silence.
"President? Is this really an order from the President himself?"
"Just how important is this mission that even the President is personally involved?"
The low whispers quickly spread throughout the laboratory. Neil was also affected by the atmosphere, and couldn't help but pause his browsing of the data to look around at the situation.
At that moment, a hand gently tapped his shoulder. Neil turned and saw the familiar face of Erin. Her eyes remained calm and profound, as if she could see through all the worldly disturbances.
"Neil, this is your first mission, and it's such an important one. Are you feeling scared?" Erin asked with a smile.
Neil hesitated for a moment before saying, "It would be false to say I'm not scared, but that's also why I chose to become an observer. I want to witness these significant events, and even if I'm afraid, I can't back down."
Erin nodded, seemingly satisfied with his response.
Erin looked at Neil and then approached him, speaking in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Listen, Neil, observation missions are not just about seeing and recording. You must learn to look at the problem from different angles and understand the deeper meaning behind the world you are observing."
Neil listened attentively, this was the first time he had heard Erin explain the details of observation so thoroughly.
"However, you don't need to be too nervous," Erin continued, "This is your first mission, and there will inevitably be shortcomings, which is understandable. But never forget the basic rules of The Eye of the Philosopher, especially the principle of non-interference. Following the rules is more important than anything else."
Neil nodded, feeling slightly relieved. Erin's words made him understand that even though the importance of this mission was beyond imagination, the basic rules and principles were still the most important for him to follow.
Erin smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned back to the position of the other senior observers, allowing Neil to focus on the data of the emergency mission once again.
