In the middle of the city sat a large government building. Inside of the building a large amount of people are running around to complete last minute preparations for the new mandatory test.
"Do you have any idea what this test is about?" one government worker asked the lady next to him
"From what I know it's meant to test your ability and knowledge or something.. we will know after we take it anyway." She thought to herself before answering him.
"But aren't you nervous, what if we do terrible and lose our Jobs or something!?!" He started to panic at the unknown.
"There's nothing to worry about, even if we get fired many companies would still higher us. plus the test shouldn't be hard for us."
Very soon the doors were opened and people started to enter, all of the people there for the test were from a certain district called to have there tests on that day.
With the next day for another district.
As the people entered they were either curious, excited or nervous. Almost everyone was talking to each trying to work out what the test was about.
In other cities some people had already taken the test however because of the non-disclosure agreement none of them said anything about it. On the internet there was no discussions other than what I could be about, as soon as information about the test was uploaded it would be deleted before anyone would know.
So almost everyone was in the dark about the contents of said test.
Inside of the Main headquarters of the Government sat a meeting for the current state of the testing.
"All cities have started their testing, it is estimated that everyone in every city on the planet will have taken the test by the end of next week. Sir"
At the head of the table John Hart thought to himself before speaking.
"That is cutting it to close... speed it up everyone needs to have been tested before 14 days or we won't make it...
If only those idiots didn't delay us! This is about the very survival of our race and they are trying to save money and face...." John's face became black as he spoke with hatred about the brain dead morons who attempted to stop the test from being taken.
"Let's just hope that this will help us organize easier." A heavy silence overcame the room for a few moments before they moved on to other issues.

Elsewhere inside of Richard's apartment in the main room. Sat Richard, he had a large amount of things spread across the floor giving the apartment a rare sense of being crowded, however it all had a order to it.
Everything was placed in different groups neatly, and on the bed sat two large backpacks.
The two backpacks were more of massive giant cloth bags with straps, even a fit person would find it hard to carry just one.
Richard was sweating and breathing heavily as he moved and organized books, maps, seeds, food, water, clothes and more.
Richard stopped and took a break for a few minutes when it felt like his body couldn't go on.
Looking at all of the stuff sorted on the floor, Richard couldn't help but smile. All the years of his hardship, pain and misery would be worth it.
Coming out of his thoughts reenergize he started to pack one of the bags after placing it on the floor.
The large backpack was green and black with the other black and red. He had done this on purpose to help him sort what goes where, so he can easily find anything.
He first started by packing the seeds he had brought, then he started to pack different books on recipes for drinks and food.
Next he placed clothing, food, water and all the items he had brought from the Blacksmith and more. He strapped the spear and sword on the side of the bag.
Finally the bag became full and couldn't fit anymore no matter how hard he tried.
"huh I thought it could take more.." Richard looked at the floor next to him which only had books, maps, plans/designs and blueprints left
"well it should be enough..." Richard got back to work but as he continued to work and move about in his wheelchair the paler he became.
It didn't take long to finish packing the second backpack, Richard was left laying down on his bed tiredly and weakly, he reached under his bed and pulled out a small box with a finger print scanner lock.
Richard pressed his finger to scanner, after scanning the box opened. Inside sat a unique incense burner and a small figure.
The white incense burner in the shape of multiple clouds connected with the incense holder inside of the burner, the smoke released from small tiny holes along the clouds surface.
The figure is a small statue of a Dragon, In each of it's claws a dragon ball sat each a different color. Made of gold and other gems. The dragon statue gave off a air of power and sacredness, it's two eyes giving off a slight light.
Richard set the dragon statue on the bed while setting up the burner before slowly standing up, he bowed to the statue and started saying a prayer.
He stayed bowing for as long as he could before putting it all away and going to bed.
The next day Richard got ready to go out for the day as it was time for his check up.
He made his way to the street at which he call a hover taxi to the hospital for his check up.
The hospital tall and advanced, white with a large red cross painted on it.
As the taxi came to a stop in the dropoff zone there was a nurse standing there waiting for someone.
As she saw the taxi she came over with a sweat smile. She helped Richard out of the taxi and into his wheelchair before pushing him inside of the hospital.
Zoe Miller, we went to the same school together. She comes from a wealthy family and is smart however is quite naive.
"Richard you look terrible, don't tell me you've been exerting yourself! you know your not allowed, it will degrade your health further." She hit me on the head gently while speaking with a soft voice
"I haven't been doing anything excessive" I answered with a neutral face.
"Yeah you haven't." she just rolled her eyes.
Zoe looked beautiful, her face with out any imperfections or blemishes. Long brown hair and intelligent brown eyes.
Wearing a white nurse uniform, she looked beautiful and professional.
Soon we arrived at our destination. She pushed me in and spoke before leaving.
"Now I'll come and get you after you're finished your check up, be good for Doctor Cooper. See ya later." She waved as she left.
Doctor Cooper looked up at me before walking over.
"Hello Doctor."
"Ah Mr Drache it's good to see you, I hope you've been following your treatment plan. now let's see."
He brought me over to a large medical scanner with a bed next to it and got me to lay on the bed.
Soon the the scanner turned on and began to scan my body from heat to toe. On the Holo screen different information appeared, consisting of the condition of my body and other vital signs.
"Now let's see here... it looks like your body is almost at it's breaking point....." he narrowed his eyes before continuing.
"Your going to have to stay here for a few day just too make sure you don't have any other problems propping up. Sigh... I really wish we could help you Mr Drache but... we don't even know what's causing your body to break down. Sigh.."
"It fine doc, thanks for all you've done" I smiled while he helped me back into the wheelchair.
"Well your going to have to stay for at least four days so make yourself comfortable."
Before I could answer Zoe came back into the room.
"How is he Doctor Cooper? Anything wrong?" Zoe asked with worry.
"No nothing much he'll just have to stay a couple of days in the tube that's all."
"Oh good I'll take him there now then." she spoke full of happiness.
Zoe pushed me out of the room and took me to the medical nutrient tube room while talking about what she has been doing lately.
Soon we arrived at the tube room, it was large with hundreds of large tubes full of a green liquid.
On the tubes was a vitals screen and other information.
Zoe left me with the specialists I charge of the tubes.
The tubes could help heal almost any disease or injury.even cancer. I worked by getting the body cool down in the special liquid.so that the body could absorb the nutrients and chemicals/medicine fully into the body.
It was cold getting into it and uncomfortable as I had to have a tube into my throat to allow me to breathe.
Soon I was put to sleep to help the recovery process.
