"tick, tock, tick, tock"
"WAKE UP EVERYONE!" Yelled an unknown voice.
Josh opened his eyes staring at the steel ceiling. He sat up and looked around the room, he saw 5 other beds like his, a white mattress with an old rag, what you really can't call a blanket .Josh saw 6 other people there, a yellow moth, dressed in a medical uniform. a black lizard, dressed in a pirate outfit.
"Why a pirate outfit" thought Josh to himself.
There were also a green slime, dressed as a scientist. A white human, dressed as a salvager. another arachnid, One like himself expect with red fur.
and a strange human dressed in black clothing, he seemed to know what he was doing.
Everyone seemed to be as confused as Josh was expect the strange human standing before the doorframe.
"It's time for breakfast" said the strange human
"Follow me" continued the strange human
Everyone got out of their beds and followed the strange human. They walked through a black coded corridor into a strange large room leading down many other hallways.
"This is the main hall, it links the most important rooms in this bunker" said the strange man happily
As they walked towards the cafeteria one of the other people there, the moth with a shy voice asked Josh "hey! Uhh~ it's my first time in here. Uhh~ do you know what is this place?"
"Yeah" said Josh. Trying to not reveal that it was his first time here, Josh feared that the other people might look down on him for being new.
There was an awkward silence between Josh and the moth
"Uh~ What place is it then?" Asked the moth
"You will find out soon" said Josh trying to cover up the lie.
The strange man led them to a small cafeteria.
Josh looked and saw that the table had 6 plates.
Plate 1 had a piece of cooked steak, plate 2 had an old looking dress, plate 3 had green gel, plate 4 had salad mixed in with potatoes and plates 5 and 6 had a punch of flies and mosquitoes on them.
"Okay, everyone. We have prepared special made meals for you and will forwards from this day on" said the strange man.
"Scaleberg to plate 1, Emmy to plate 2, Voltix to plate 3, Darwin to plate 4, Franklin to plate 5 and Josh to plate 6" said the strange man.
Everyone sat where they were told, they all stared at each other before starting to munch on the food. Likely questioning eating food from a stranger.
After everyone was done the strange human told everyone to follow them. They went into a big room and from there into a smaller room with gear in it.
"This is the gearing room, that's inside the training area. I would like for everyone to put on these clothes and meet me outside in the training area" said the strange man.
Everyone did so, the clothes were colored black like the strange man had.
"EVERYONE, THIS IS OFFICIALLY FIRST DAY OF TRAINING TO BECOME A SYNDICATE AGENT!!!" said the strange man with a commanding voice.
"WE WILL START OFF MY TELLING EVERYONE OUR NAMES, WHAT'S YOUR SPECIALTY AND OUR BREVIOUS JOBS!!!" Yelled the strange man.
Everyone stared at the strange man intently.
"I WILL START!!!" continued the strange man
"You can call me Rick. I am the training commander, right hand man of Commander Wo.
I have worked here almost my entire life" stated Rick.
The lizard stepped forwards
"My name is Ssscaleberg, I ssspent many years learning to be a combat tech. I have been a combat tech for Rouny Marine Corp for 4 years before accidentally ssshooting my entire squad and being fired and sssent home on the ssspot" said the lizard
The moth stepped forwards
"Uhh~ My name is Emmy moonmoth, I learnt
medicine and chemistry for 5 years. Uhh~ I worked in a hospital as a nurse for 2 years before the hospital was shut down because someone changed all the chemicals out with highly toxic amount of meth. Uhh~ I also worked as a surgerist for 4 weeks. Uh~ I was fired and jailed for 9 years."Said the moth with a shy voice
"I rEmOvEd EvERy BoNe iN tHe ThEiR BoDy, WhIlE ThEy WeRe AwAkE ThE HoLe TiMe, WoUlD dO iT aGaIn." Said the moth with a Deep and Gravelly voice.
Everyone stared at the moth in disbelief
until finally the slime stepped forward
"I am Voltix Flux. I learnt science for 3 years and worked for Klerk™ for 7 years. I was fired and faced 4 years in prison because I blew up the entire headquarters with a blackhole bomb." said the slime
The human steps forward
"I am Darwin Sterling, I learnt to work as a salvager for 2 years. I salvaged in the Frontier Sector for 8 years before blowing up the entire space center and escaping, I am still wanted in the Frontier Sector."
Josh steps forward
"I am Josh Marker, I learnt how to be a security officer for many years, I was hired by NT. I spent many years as a security officer. I was promoted to head of security and sent off to Space Station 13. In there i- i-, it's not important. After I got back I quit my job" said josh with an anxious voice.
The arachnid steps forward
"..." The arachnid didn't say anything.
"Uhh Franklin nightstalker? You are gonna say anything?" Said Rick
Franklin shook his head and then pointed to his mouth, he slid his fingers across his mouth like it was shut.
"Ah, now I remember, Franklin is a Mime, he has never spoken a word in his life, following his vow. We are not sure if he can even speak. He learnt 15 years in mime school and worked as a mime for 2 years, he was fired because he refused to talk with the staff" said Rick.
"There is something similar with all of you, so try to be friendly", said Rick
"And what that might be?" asked Scaleberg
"You all are dead broke and are jobless" continued Rick confidently
"NOW THAT EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER, WE WILL START TRAINING!!! 30 LAPS AROUND THE TRAINING AREA" yelled Rick
Everyone expect Franklin sighed and everyone started running.
