20 Hmm

I was swearing left, right, up, and down that it was Bryan, but at the same time it didn't feel like him. It looked like a younger version of him, and would explain all of his weird quirks. A lot of discrepancies flew into my mind. In my final moments in Galaxy Online, David had managed to stay undetected from the Death Witch, but if he was a perfect cyborg, it would explain why he was able to hide so effectively. The adaptations provided by my class helped considerable.

STATUS, I yelled into my mind.

The next day they had us line up. All 7 of us.

Shooting, running, obstacle courses, endurance, and so much more. That was all I did for a week. I was confused at what they wanted, because I still failed to see how these innocent kids could do any harm. They haven't even seen the light of day for 15 years. They are mentally still children.

However their bodies were tough. Guns were held like toys, close combat was a mess. We would be coughing up blood after sparring with the instructors. The instructors would get bruises from the sheer strength of the children. I fared just as bad, because I was mainly focused on hiding my skills for the event three days from now.

I walked to the cafeteria, however I noticed something weird. All seven of us were sitting next to each other. I usually are alone. Instead we ate in silence, but a kid at the end of the table finally spoke.

"Hi,"

We all echoed,"Hi,".

Damn can this get any more awkward.

"How is your day,"

"Good" we all echoed.

These phrases were all taught to us when we were young, yet it was really all we knew. As we finished eating, a researcher came up and told us to follow. Down the elevator we went, and eventually we came to a room with a chair in the middle of it. It was surrounded by plenty of machines as servos whirred, and mechanical arms awaited use.

We were strapped in and a glass of suspicious liquid was given to us.

"Drink," they ordered. As we drank I fell into a deep sleep, and woke up the next day a changed boy.
