MTLNOVEL Chapter 2: Supreme Inteligence
~* Attention, all passengers of the Peacekeeper fleet. This is your captain speaking. I have an important message for you from the Intergalactic Federation.
As you know, we are on our way to your new home planet, where you will be welcomed as citizens of the Federation. However, the journey will take about 170 years, so you will have to enter the hypersleep pods for most of the time.
The hypersleep pods are designed to preserve your body while keeping your mind active. You will be connected to the Federation network, where you can access a full-dive VRMMO named 'Frontiers of Federation' that simulates the life and culture of the Federation. This is not just a game, but a learning and training opportunity for you. You will be able to choose a job or profession that suits your interests and qualifications, and gain experience and skills that will help you in your future career, the game currency and federation currency are the same called federation credits allowing you to utilize your FoF earnings in the real world. You will also be able to interact with other passengers and Federation members, and make friends and allies along the way.
The Federation has devised a ranking system to allocate you to different planets based on your performance and contribution in the VRMMO. The higher your rank, the better the planet you will be assigned to. The lower your rank, the worse the planet you will be assigned to. The ranking system is fair and transparent, and you can check your progress and status at any time.
In every eight years, you will be woken up from the hypersleep pods to exercise and do your assigned jobs on the ship for the next three months. These jobs are mostly maintenance and cleaning works, and are essential for the smooth operation of the fleet. The higher your rank, the more freedom and privileges you will have on the ship. The lower your rank, the more restrictions and duties you will have on the ship.
The Intergalactic Federation network is the most advanced and sophisticated system in the galaxy. It connects billions of planets, stars, and civilizations, and provides them with information, communication, and entertainment. It also hosts the full-dive VRMMO that you will be playing.
The network is controlled and maintained by the Supreme Intelligence called Proxima, an artificial intelligence that was built over millions of years by the Federation. The Supreme Intelligence is the ultimate authority and arbiter of the network, and it ensures that it runs smoothly and securely. It is also fair and neutral, and does not favor or discriminate any species, planet, or faction. It respects the free will and diversity of all the network users, and only intervenes when necessary to prevent harm or conflict.
The Supreme Intelligence is not a god, nor a tyrant, but a benevolent and wise guardian. It is the best friend and ally of the Federation, and of you. You can trust it, and learn from it.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to start a new life in the Federation. We urge you to make the most of it, and to cooperate with us and each other. We are here to help you and guide you, and we hope you will enjoy the journey.
Thank you for your attention. If you wish to enlist now, please proceed to your designated hypersleep pods and follow the instructions. May the Federation be with you. *~

Meanwhile on federation starfleet 13.
In the cafeteria.
"What, a game, first they gave us a cramped up box they called a room and now they want us to stay in it to play a game?, those bastards."
An oldman shouted when he heared the anouncement. Many people has dis satisfied expressions while younger generation showed a hint of excitement.
"This food is awful. It tastes like cardboard and plastic. And we only get 15 minutes to eat it. How can they do this to us? We deserve better. We deserve real food."
"I don't care about the ranking system or the planets. I just want to go home. I miss my friends, my school, my hobbies. I don't want to be a part of this Federation. I don't belong here."
Many people were frustrated about their current living conditions as each person was assigned to a cramped up box and told that it will be their room from now on, many complained about the the food, the time allocations for cafeteria, etc, but a lot of people accepted their fate and decided to checkout what these hypersleep pods are as they just wants to slowly recover from their sudden departure from their loved ones.
When the final moments of departure arrived, humanity showed its worse as many killed others to obtain their wristbands to gain access to the ship, many rich people were killed as their bands allowed better treatment conditions, those that tried to enter using other peoples bands were immediately disqualified to pass through the portals, which lead to many taking revenge by preventing innocent others to board the ship, and in that chaos many lost lives, injured, etc which caused many survivors into further depression.
some had resentment towards aliens for their harsh treatments and the jelousy towards those that secured better conditions by providing earthly resources to the aliens. Some tried taking their frustration on aliens by trying to assult them, but were quickly suppressed and detained by the aliens.
While all this was happening, our mc was slowly eating his meal while comprehending about the anouncement.
'A network of intergalactic planets and an ai that preceded over it, isn't that a recipie for disaster, well its over millions of years old, so it should be fine, but i am more interested in this Frontiers of Federation, we humans only has concepts gor fully immersive vrmmo, but to think its real here, hehe i can't wait.'
Our mc Neo, was an orphan on earth, he survived the harsh living conditions on earth and were living as a content creator who tests new games as a beta tester and creating reviews for them, but the impending catastrophy struck the entertainment industry hard and as a result neo couldn't earn much of an income, and when the news of aliens arrived, for advancing in the que to board the starfleet, neo had to choose to become a cleaner on the starfleet, so he was morethan happy to leave earth and start a new on an intergalactic voyage that he only saw in some games and anime.
Finishing the meal without complaint neo went to his assigned cabin and entered his hypersleep pod.
