Charlene arrived at the base and immediately dove headfirst into her work.
Perfecting human versus machine combat required a solid foundation of data.
On her second day at the base, another round of human vs. machine trials was scheduled.
That evening, Charlene found herself heading to the mess hall later than usual.
By the time she arrived, most of the crowd had already cleared out.
After grabbing her dinner, she was about to sit down when she noticed York, who had also just finished getting his meal.
York paused, flashing a friendly smile as he approached her. "When'd you get in?"
"Yesterday," Charlene replied, then asked, "Just finished training?"
"Yeah, it's been pretty intense this year."
The future of aerial combat wasn't just about humans anymore; it was a sophisticated dance between humans and machines.
Their training had evolved significantly over the past few years to reflect this shift.
Charlene asked, "Does it feel overwhelming?"
With AI's formidable computational and analytical prowess, it could quickly spot an opponent's weaknesses and devise precise strategies, its speed and accuracy were beyond human reach.
Even for a seasoned and perceptive pilot like York, the pressure was undeniable.
York chuckled, saying, "It's tough, but it pushes us pilots to keep improving."
With AI capable of simulating complex battle environments and scenarios, pilots experienced more realistic and comprehensive training, fostering their growth.
Charlene nodded, "Sounds exhausting."
"Well, you researchers are working just as hard as we are," York remarked, noticing her graceful yet brisk pace as she ate. "Heading back to work after this?"
"Yeah," Charlene replied. Kenton Wagner had given her a hefty workload, keeping her on her toes.
As soon as she finished speaking, her communicator buzzed. It was a message from Kenton, summoning her back to the research department immediately.
Charlene put down her fork and stood up quickly, "I've got to run. Enjoy your dinner."
Vesta was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing her arrive, Kendal grinned and waved her over, "Charlene! Come sit down."
Thorne glanced up at her, but only briefly, before turning his attention back to his coffee.
Charlene sat down next to Kendal, greeting him, "Hey, Kendal."
Kendal gave her a once-over, frowning slightly, "You've lost weight again."
The erratic meals and hectic schedule at the base had indeed led her to drop a couple of pounds.
Before she could respond, Thorne deftly rinsed a porcelain cup with hot water and poured her a fresh cup of coffee, placing it in front of her.
Charlene didn't say a word, instead tapping the coffee table lightly as a gesture of thanks.
Kendal continued, "Got some fresh salmon in the other day. How do you want it cooked, Charlene? I'll have the chef whip it up for you."
Charlene took a sip of her coffee, savoring its warmth, just as Thorne chimed in, "What, no offer for me? Playing favorites, are we?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
