Invincible Earth!

As confidence surged in Lance, the screen above him changed.


The image he saw now elicited an almost primal response from his heart and soul. 


A magnificent dragon, golden in color and shining bright, coiled around the blue globe that countless humans called home. The dragon had a wingspan as large as its body. As on the screen it stretched its body and roared into space, its body and wings covered the earth fully, protecting it and sheltering it from whatever lay in the cosmos. 


Lance roared with the dragon, losing his mind in the feral nature with a strong instinct to tear whatever that came in his path into pieces. As he regained clarity, the voice started speaking.


"This is the symbol for the Invincible Earth program, or simply, IE. IE was started roughly 12,000 years ago. Its heritage grew with repeated sacrifices by our ancestors who enabled IE to become what it is now: the last frontier for mankind's survival against the threats of the cosmos. 


The present IE is a superstructure present in Earth's exosphere, roughly 10,000 km from the surface. Normally, it is in the form of two rotating discs with an inner and outer disc. We are currently in the lower disc of IE, with the upper disc being the main defense hub and the lower disc serving various miscellaneous functions. The rooms you have seen so far all have an artificial roof, as is the norm in this sector of the disc. 


You have been selected as an initiation candidate because you satisfied the conditions necessary:


1. Must be a descendant of the founding members.


2. Must have awakened the questioning nature: must doubt the world order as seen to some degree.


3. Must have passed the pre-initiation test and awakened the intrinsic nature.


You have fulfilled the criteria and are eligible for initiation. Would you like to receive your first mission?"


"Yes", replied Lance, not even giving the voice to finish.


"Candidate must note that apart from the equipment and abilities provided, no other help shall be given, even in dire circumstances. If death is imminent, it is advised to pull out using the safety mechanism that will be given. Do you stand by your decision?"


This time, Lance took a little longer to think than before.


"What is the consequence of pulling out?", he asked.


"You shall wake up in a hospital bed due to going into a coma due to malnutrition and you shall have no memory of what has happened so far."


This drove the nail in the coffin for caution in Lance's mind. He felt that this what he had been waiting for all his life. All those moments reflecting, reminiscing about a world which would fascinate him instead of endlessly boring him like his present existence. All those moments wishing for something to happen, something to change. All those moments had led up to this.


He looked up, with grit and courage shining in his eyes. 


"Yes, I stand by my decision.", he replied, thus taking his first step into the world that was hidden.


"Affirmative. IE initiation phase-2 launched. Please standby for mission briefing."
