The radiant skyscrapers, bungalows, mansions and wine caged restaurants, high end clubs and pubs, extensive walkways around gated villages ,master class cathedrals and casinos have taken over Trent, G-Star and Dream - three Exports Processing Zones of Okuro.

The cultic decorations around the giant cathedrals adorned in foreign relics and maintained by slim beings with dim rays of humanity written in their haggard looks like maniacs,have elbowed the peacefulness and architectural beauty that would have captured the environ if mass accessibility, education, simplicity, deeper spirituality and Okuro's heritage would have defined the rhythm and decor of the Okuro EPZ.

Archbishop Major, the father of Pope, architecture and brain behind Men In Black (MIB) operating for Maxima ministers at the Magnificent Okuro Now & End - ONE TIME MINISTRY Cathedral.

The entourage of Pope arrived that midmorning, he had just received a call that archbishop Major needed his presence urgently. The tip of automated boom barrier outermost gate rose in a vertical arc to a near perpendicular position. The second arm which hanged 400 mm below the upper arm when lowered increased visibility as they made their way , it lay flat with main as the barrier was raised.

Most palatial homes around that EPZ neighborhood controlled vehicle entry or traffic in private residential and public areas like offices using boom barrier gates. Most parking areas of multiple indoor constructions like hotels, supermarkets and industrial infrastructure also used automatic barriers to provide affordable and convenient alternative over traditional fences and gates as commonly used in larger Okuro and Mu Empire.

The inner and final vertical lift gate rose straight up on sensing Pope's entourage as it was an automatically configured space efficient security gate with no side or near clearance and offered quick operation and enhanced traffic flow but costed approximately 20000 dollars a side from regular high cost specialized maintenance.

The stand alone cathedral in a four hectares piece of disputed land had a nave with a flat steel roof where congregation gathered and two side aisles flanking the nave that separated from it by a row of regularly spaced columns, entrance vestibule at the south and which reserved for penitent and unbaptized.

The statue of a white saint, believed to be the financier and water sprouts, gargoyle, arcs stood sublimely within other wooden and stone sculptures with high relief and alters, carved columns, ribbed vaults and stained glass windows.

Unlike a church which is a community of believers or any place of worship with permanent congregation and run by pastor or priest, a chapel is a place of worship that has no pastor or priest and no permanent congregation, just physical space, usually smaller and can be within a church or hospital or airport.

A cathedral-principal church within is run by a bishop in a diocese - the area of land over which a bishop has jurisdiction. The special chair in which bishop sits, from which it's named is called cathedra.

ONE-TIME Ministry cathedral served not only as a place of worship but also as a nexus for a class of Okuro gold merchants, local and diaspora, and donors whose significant heritage, culture and lifestyle it served.

Pope was received by his father, the lordship Major, a stately tall critic of society on behalf of God. Archbishop Major was dressed in full liturgical vestment -traditional mass vestment with ancient headdress of bishop with a symbolic shepherd's staff- a crosier and adorned with a pectoral cross and episcopal ring .

They shared pleasantries as archbishop led the way followed by Pope to his office within the cathedral. The drivers and standby guards dispersed immediately Pope made his entry into an exquisitely designed executive class office. He made a short supplications before they kicked off the meeting.

Pope: Goodmorning Dad. Longtime?

AB: I'm fine. Nothing is wrong with longtime when we do the right thing. Isn't it?

Pope: You understand family attachment isn't built on business maxim daddy. Am I right?

AB: Profit knits family, nothing more and nothing less. The sooner you know this the better Pope. Don't forget your destiny.

Pope: What do you mean by my destiny?

AB: That's why I have called you to tell me about this Corporate Conscience nonsense going round in Okuro and Mu Empire?

Pope: How do you mean?

AB: Do you know why I named you Pope?

Pope: But I think I'm doing exactly the purpose I was born for which is more important than what I was named. I have served you since childhood daddy.

AB: Your name gives clarity to your purpose.

Pope: Are you saying I'm in a wrong calling?

AB: No. And I never imagined that when you were conceived. I wanted you to be a communicator with global vision like a Pope. What have I not done in terms of your education to frame that vision. Tell me Pope?

Pope: I don't think I have let you down to warrant that outburst daddy, unless there is something you're not telling me?

AB: I told you Saldana is a blue stocking. What has happened. Have you reached me since you were dismissed from her service?

Pope: There's no big deal about her. Why are you being too sensitive over nothing?

AB: How many times should I keep telling you that what benefits the enemy, harms you; and what benefits you, harms the enemy?

Pope: The difference between us and Saldana is what you've termed nonsense. It's hard to undo what benefits people directly. We better stop having enemies. Why should we invest more on enemies than friends?

AB: And you think you are closing in through utopia schemes?

Pope: Dady I'm a keen believer in schemes. You have always told me whoever is more vigilant in observing the designs of the enemy in war, and endures much hardship in training his army, will incur fewer dangers, and can have greater hope for victory.

AB: I would have believed if you were in the camp of Saldana.

Pope: Saldana. How do you mean. So that's why you have called me here?

AB: Sharpen your calling Pope. Stop being peripheral. I wanted you to know how to lead and manage a team, not boardroom-style effectiveness. You should have a sense of universal church and its needs.

Pope: That's a vexed question dady. How do we attain that universal appeal with inward approach. Are you shifting your focus to the people?

AB: That's where you actually go wrong. You can only help people with yourself in mind. You can actually serve people without altering our vision: Me, Myself and I.

Pope: How that can work in your case you know very well. But you know we are battling pressure from people and a team?

AB: Forget about anything around you called a team and pursue Saldana. You know I can't mislead you?

Pope: You advice I go against Maxima, the guy you brought to me and who is at the verge of making a kill with governor?

AB: (laughs) And you trust him, wouldn't you hit a wrong target again. By the way who sanctioned that mission?

Pope: Daddy you know I'm not a pretty kettle of fish.

AB: I know you my Pope. When you dress yourself with trustworthiness, Saldana won't escape your grasp. Nothing escapes a trusted fellow. I feel you're getting underutilized by Maxima. I still don't understand why you didn't consider it seriously. Do you fear her?

Pope: Maybe we're not in the same page dady?

AB: Why didn't you try enough to have Saldana. Isn't she a woman?

Pope: Dady I'm a Pope. I respect my congregation!

AB: Amen . But remember a Pope must be a man with common touch. Don't discriminate, be in the synch with today's culture to understand secularism. That is how Saldana is thinking despite being a Muslim, more conservative than you, Pope. She is everywhere.

Pope: I'll treat your sentiments as plan B just because I don't want to hurt you. However I have my eye on LBcorp ACCELERATOR.

AB : That's another jackpot for Saldana's grab, she's a past master.

Pope: Why do you think Saldana might be interested?

AB : Doesn't the project have money value and people at heart. Tell me when Maxima secured such a venture?

Pope: This we'll be very the first. By the way he is through with paper work.

AB: Money hasn't been wired. Has it?

Pope: It depends on what you term as money. Prof. Anam has been settled fully.

AB: The whole project isn't even one-tenth the net worth of Saldana. And you think Maxima can deliver a project where he stands at the Blindspot?

Pope: I had same feeling but he actually sees it as a transition. What do you think?

AB: I think you're not rightly thinking.

Pope: How, you know I couldn't storm their meeting, same way none can storm our meeting. Aren't you aware that he contributed colossal amount during governor's election?

AB: That's last election, start positioning yourself for next election. How much will you as Pope contribute to his reelection?

Pope: I'll but that depends on how delivers to the people and this particular deal. Are you giving me a challenge?

AB: I want you to think of control, you remember how you interrogated Mbalu on control?

Pope: How did you know?

AB:  What don't I know. How's Mbalu and Chief Mulo's plan by the way or you've declared it mission impossible?

Pope:We're still condoling with the families.Do you have an idea?

AB: I know you feel beaten by Mbalu. But you've never been in her shoe. Have you?

Pope: I emphasized with her. You understand. But that one would have given us a launching pad. What do you think?

AB: That is why I insist you can be productive with Saldana. I need to know the operatives running her intelligence. Do you have any idea?

Pope: What was her role in it before, I think she only featured after?

AB: That's where you go wrong: broken antenna. You don't invest on efficiency. Have you heard that Saldana has killed someone on her one woman army mission?

Pope: We're a rolling stone dady. Do you suggest we overhaul our intelligence infrastructure?

AB: This mission isn't a royal road Pope. Machiavelli stated that, 'It is better to defeat the enemy by hunger than with steel, in such victory, fortunes count more than virtue.' Do you know the danger of killing people just to invest in their funeral?

Pope:  Same Machiavelli also said, 'Men, steel, money and bread are sinews of war.'

AB : You have not finished what he said about the four in order of preference. He said...'but of these four, the first two are more necessary for men and steel find money and bread, but money and bread do not find men and steel. What is the implication of that?

Pope: I understand. And even so, we have outlived metal age. We need softer power to conquer the most dreadful threats. I'm beginning to read Makers. But importantly, people matter. The main reason you must take corporate conscience seriously.

AB: We have given back through schools. Aren't Trent, G-Star and Dream functional? The plans are underway to convert them into complexes for local, regional and international students, aren't you incharge of that project?

Pope: I do daddy. There's long-term interest of business, education is just one of them. What about environment conservation, creating better employee and customers?

AB: Being in business doesn't make you the government. What would the government be doing for crying out loud? People, not businesses have responsibilities to conserve and build capacity of workforce.

Pope: Government is a creation of people if you build their capacity, you get a working government. Consider law and order, when you prevent antisocial behavior, there will be no lawlessness and you'll not spend too much on police and prison, instead you will channel that money to health or another investment.

AB: Isn't that what we're doing through schools? Why aren't talking about loss of incentives when profit- maximization ceases to be the dominant objective?

Pope: Not everyone is in school, some are below and past school going age but they need help. Consider maintenance of free Enterprise, creation of Society and favourable environment for business.

AB: Aren't confirming that there is no yardstick. How much social responsibility is or isn't social responsibility? Have you considered burden passed to consumers and how charity degrades human dignity? People want to be valued, not pitied.

Pope: There's no dignity through negligence. There is system interdependence. We also have surplus resources that business doesn't need but people need. When we work closely and become conscious of society, we create that supportive synergy amongst people, society , Community and business.

AB: Business is already powerful in its relationship with society as we speak. With huge resources in the hand of business, economic institutions can irresponsibly dominate institutions like region, education, political and government. The toxic business value system of quid pro quo is not good for general populace.

Pope: Such a chasm  it a demonstration of a lack of concerted effort leading to corporate responsibility imbalance. Pull effect of business can be used to address social complexities such as pollution, poverty , disease over population, ecological imbalance that can help to share government's burden and contribute to social welfare. We can prevent alot through corporate consciousness before looming catastrophy strikes .

AB: Too much involvement of business in social and even political responsibility is panacea for Economical irrationality that will lead to higher prices. Again, we already have social institutions doing their work, emergence business will insubordinate or compete than support them. Through my business I can support church through alm and sadaka and zakat to give religion impact that meddling in the name of corporate Conscience that border moral conscience dominated by Religions.

Pope: According to Mahatma Gandhi's view, business is a creation of Society and businessmen and businesswomen are its trusteeship which expresses inherent responsibility of business entity to their customers, employees and shareholders and profit earned shared by the community.

AB: There should be those doing their social responsibility like us in Lord's vineyard, not business people, though I'm privileged to be both. A progressive country will encourage entrepreneurs to do full time entrepreneurship, unless they want to build social entrepreneurs. We can't accept to be engaged in consciously altering instead of protecting delicate profit-maximization equilibrium. Business can't serve as a mini welfare state.

Pope: In long-run you'll appreciate well planned and manageable Program for corporate consciousness that guarantees long-term benefits to business and links with social groups and relevant to local needs.

AB: As merchants, all that effort should focus on fattening the profit-maximization margin through which meaningful socioeconomic and political thriving is guaranteed.
