Entanglement

After they met the lady with the black clothes, they were led by the pink haired girl to their rooms after receiving identification. The identifications they were given was just a thin piece of metal wrapped around their wrist, a tiny chip was contained in the band, some of the doors in the base which they had been given access to could be opened with the bands given to them when they got close to the door.

"Your rooms are at the end of this hall."

They looked at her, she looked back at them and pointed at Eto, Karl, Sam and jake, she turned to the person wearing the mask.

"You, guys, your rooms are at the end of this hall."

She turned around and gestured to the girls to follow her. They turned at another corner and disappeared from sight.

Eto sighed and said.

"Let's go check the rooms out."

Karl looked at him and harrumphed then turned and started walking towards the room. Sam followed after waiting for a while.

Jake walked close to Eto and held out his hand. Eto noticed and shook his hand.

"Am jake Grant."

"Eto Grey."

They introduced themselves again.

"So your mum is Miss Grey."

Jake asked with a shine in his eyes which reflected outside his glasses.

"Yes she is."

"Tell me about her."

Eto looked at him then said to jake.

"We better go see the rooms."

Jake didn't push to ask more questions cause he knew Eto would just ignore him.

Eto and Jake walked towards the door that led to their rooms, When they walked in they were wowed, the room was large enough to fit a space ship, with floor to ceiling windows showing the darkness of space with some planets in the distance, the room had some couches which were arranged in a semi circle and was facing the Holo screen in the middle of the room, The room had four doors with two on the left and two on the right. The two doors on the right already had names on them, while the two doors on the left were still nameless, Jake walked to one of the doors on the left and placed his palm on it, his name appeared on the door, he was intrigued and moved his hand to touch the name on the door, it was metallic with a glossy sheen on it. Eto also walked to the other door and placed his palm on the surface, his name appeared on the door, an interface appeared on the door when he went inside, on the Holo screen on the door, He saw his profile displayed on the Holo screen on the door.

Name:Eto Grey.

Organisations:??

Affiliations:??

Age:17.

Rank:Recruit.

Status:Healthy.

He was a little bit confused by the Holo screen which displayed his Status as healthy, but then he guessed it must have been the bands they gave to them.

He just shrugged and look around the circular room, the space in the room was large, it contained a Holo screen on one side, A bed sat at one end of the room with a couch and a table beside it, there was a bathroom located at the other end of the room.

He crashed on the bed and slept off. He woke up a little while later.

There was a notification on the Holo screen on the door, which showed that his schedule had been updated and he had orientation in 2 minutes, there was also another icon been displayed, it was the icon of the Headquarters, He moved his hand wearing the band close to the icon and the icon disappeared and there was a map of the Headquarters displayed above the band, he looked at it and noticed there were a few places that were missing so he knew that those areas where off limits, He memorized the map then realized that he had spent a minute looking at the map for the HQ.

He quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up, he came out, changed his clothes and walked out his door, he saw Jake waiting just outside his door.

"I almost knocked on the door, We're gonna be late."

Jake said after pushing his glasses up.

"Why'd you wait for me."

Eto asked with brows raised.

"Cause I could." Jake gave a vague answer and gestured to him to come along.

Eto followed him and jake led the way to the room where their orientation was gonna take place. When they both got there, they sighed in relief when they realized that only the other recruits were there.

"Where've you been."

Anna saw her younger brother and pulled him to the empty seat on her left. Jake saw this and sat behind jake.

"I was a bit tired, So I had a nap."

"We're not supposed to get tired after flying some miles through space Eto."

Eto looked at her and said.

"It was just a nap."

"Yeah don't, we don't want you getting kicked out in the first day."

"Yeah sure, Anna."

Everybody was seated and quiet when the lady they met at the docking area for the ship's materialized in front of them, She had eyes filled with wisdom as she scanned everyone of the kids in front of her, she was wearing her black cloths from before but without the black lab coat.

They all looked at her with wide eyes.

She smiled and said to them in a cool voice that seemed to calm them.

"You will all address me as Miss Everdine."

They all nodded.

"Today, I'm going to tell you about the different positions you can try before choosing your Life path."

She saw Ava and Aya raising their hands again. she said while looking at both of them.

"All questions come after am done speaking."

Aya and Ava both nodded.

"The positions available to try are, weapons engineer, mech pilot, space ship pilot, Analyst, Scientist, vanguard explorer. These are the positions you can try before picking your life path. The rest of the life paths are something you'll come across after choosing your path."

They all paid close attention to what she said, they didn't want to miss a word. she explained every life path to them.

"Analyst are given implants that boost their calculative abilities, their insight, they are master manipulators when given the right information."

When she mentioned Analyst, Anna who hadn't really been paying attention focused.

'Am going to be an Analyst.' she thought to herself.

Miss Everdine continued with the explanations.

"Vanguard Explorers are as the name suggest explorers with skills, they can also be called lone rangers, They are the ones sent to newly discovered planets, they are usually paired with Analysts as they work better together, but an Analyst can work with anyone regardless of their life path, an Analyst will always make it work."

"Okay that's all you need to know, when you increase your rank, more information will be available to you."

All the Recruits stood up and followed after Miss Everdine when she gestured to them, she led them to a room filled with vials, test tubes, beakers, a foam which seemed to be moving up and down, and a lot of other materials, I am going to be teaching you Recruits what a scientist does, A scientist with unlimited funds and the best materials can build a device that can warp time.

"So today we'll be learning the name and use of everything with my lab."

Miss Everdine proceeded to show them how everything in her lab works. But she kept them away from the foam which pulsed every now and then like it was alive. She told them that it was called a quantum foam, because in the quantum foam, tiny bubbles of matter a billion trillion trillionth of a centimetre in length perpetually popping in and out of existence, could contain shortcuts or tunnels through space time. they were awed when they heard what she said.

"That concludes the tour of my lab."

She took them out of her lab and into the weapons training room.

"Every good NIC agent knows how and when to shoot."

The weapons in the room ranged from primitive weapons like iron swords and bow and arrows to light sabers and plasma guns.

She told each of them to pick up the bows first and begin shooting at the targets.

They all shot the bull's-eye easily since all of them had prior training before coming here.

Miss Everdine received a notification, she furrowed her brows and turned to the kids.

"Gather round." Miss Everdine called to them and they gathered around her.

"There has been a slight oversight, I forgot to test for your skill level."

"So the first test would actually be to test your skill level."

"You are going to play protect the flag."

"You're going to split into two teams and each team is going to try to capture the enemy flag."

They all looked at each other and nodded.

"Pick your leaders."
