"Congratulations. You have formally joined the Larkinson Clan. Your new identity shall be Alexa Streon-Larkinson, though it is not necessary to add that last part in normal conversations. How do you feel now that you have joined my clan?"

The young woman still continued to kneel in front of the large statue of the Golden Cat.

In order to commemorate this important induction ritual, she had changed into ceremonial robes that had especially been prepared by the best tailors of her former ancient clan.

The relatively modest-sized ceremonial hall offered a suitable stage for the woman to take the final step in severing her ties from the Terran Alliance and join a completely different polity.

From now on, Alexa was obliged to stand up for the Larkinson Clan!

Even if her grandfather or any other Terran contacted her in order to ask for favor, she needed to consider whether her response would benefit or harm her fellow Larkinsons.

It was only now that she formed a connection to the Larkinson Clan that she understood how so many entrants got along so well with each other. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

No matter how many differences they had with each other, under the overarching warmth and love radiated by the Golden Cat, the Larkinson Network encouraged every clansman to treat each other as family!

The way Alexa looked at her new patriarch and the other Larkinsons gathered in the ceremonial hall had changed.

She already shared a bond of trust and friendship with Ves, but she had yet to spend enough time with the other members of the Larkinson to develop any similar bonds. They might as well be strangers.

All of that changed now that she had accepted the identity of a Larkinson in heart and soul.

It had taken her a lot of effort and a lot of preparation to shift her mentality to this extent. She had already known that a lot of Terran applicants failed to enter the Larkinson Clan due to their lingering attachments to their clans and their home state.

How could Alexa possibly make the same mistake? With the encouragement of her grandfather and the repayment of much of the benefits that she received throughout her childhood, Alexa managed to settle all of her perceived debts to the Terran superstate and reduce the psychological burden of cutting her old ties.

All of it was worth it in the end. Perhaps other people might think that she had been a reckless gamble by leaving one of the strongest and wealthiest ancient clans of the Terran Alliance, but she had a lot of confidence in the potential of the Larkinson Clan.

Even if she had yet to formally join the Larkinsons up until this point, Ves had already given her plenty of hints about his clan's ambitious plans for the future!

As far as Alexa was concerned, she could enjoy a much brighter future as a Larkinson as opposed to a Streon.

She could also help her former relatives far more as a prominent Larkinson mech designer than a forgettable descendant of a well-established ancient clan.

The Streon Ancient Clan did not suffer a shortage in talents anyway. She knew quite well that the opportunities that the Streons had reserved for her in the coming decades could easily be allocated to the other descendants that had entered the same profession.

With that thought in mind, Alexa had no regrets about this major turn in her life. She was free to embrace her new life as a Larkinson without any lingering guilt!

As if to celebrate her successful entry into the clan, the statue of the Golden Cat shone before a manifestation of the ancestral spirit emerged above her head!

"Nyaaaaa-"

The glowing and intangible spirit radiated so much warmth and love that Alexa couldn't help but embrace the adorable little thing in her arms.

Although she found it rather strange at how she was able to 'hold' a creature that shouldn't be physical, her analytical mind took a backseat to her newfound affection to her newly adopted family.

"So you are the real power behind the clan. I didn't expect you to be so... cute. Is this your superpower?"

"Nyaaaa!"

As Goldie indoctrinated the latest member of the Larkinson Clan with her feline charm, Ves and the others who witnessed the ritual stepped forward and congratulated the former Terran.

"Welcome to the clan, Miss Alexa." Gavin Neumann bowed. "I have been looking forward to your entry. Once you have completed your induction process, our clan would like to request your assistance on a few matters related to our ongoing cooperation and interactions with different Terran institutions. We could sorely use the advice and intervention of a knowledgeable and well-connected insider. While our current deals with the Terrans are relatively satisfactory on the surface, we have encountered plenty of hindrances due to lack of understanding. We have been unable to make much progress due to the obstacles in our way."

The young woman did not look surprised at this. "Terran society is based on long-term trust and partnerships. We rarely work with foreigners and outsiders that have only emerged for a short time. Many different groups come and go like dayflies. For clans that have lasted for centuries if not millenia, there is not much benefit to engaging with these groups. Even if our patriarch is able to present highly desirable inventions, the heritage of the oldest continuous state is not for show. I can readily tell you that our Streon Ancient Clan as well as every other established clan has started up entire research groups that are tasked with unearthing the secrets of our hidden past."

That attracted the interest of Ves.

"How much progress have these research groups made?"

"Their progress will surprise you, I think." Alexa responded in a measured tone. "While I am not informed of any developments that have matched or surpassed your own unique inventions, the sheer quantity of Terran researchers allocated to the new research projects have yielded many different results. The impact of every successful result may not be great, but by pooling so many advancements together, I believe that the Terran research groups have made decent strides in piecing together systematic theories and applications. Once they have established a proper scientific framework on hyper technology and E-technology, the Terran Alliance will be able to unleash all kinds of powerful advancements."

Hyper technology was any sort of tech that made effective use of the properties of hyper materials. It combined matter with E energy and was easier to work with for most people.
