Chapter 1 (Start of Hell)
'One persons heaven can be another persons hell.' Seamus never understood that until he started to live in the human settlements under machine born territories. Walking to his designated area he was not resigned to his plight.
"Please remove all articles of clothing and lay down on the bench." All around him he could hear a voice emanating with a commanding presence.
Seamus looked behind him and could see two guards standing like statues. Their guns ready to fire contradicting their harmless appearance. High Precision Calibre Rifles also known as HPCR's with an array of settings. From what he could tell it was set to High volt round but he knew that they could switch to compressed air round that would open a hole right through his body.
"Please comply." The voice over the intercom rushed Seamus to take off his clothes.
After removing his clothes Seamus lied down on the bench unwillingly. Before he could do anything else metal clamps popped out from the bench and held him down. From the ceiling gas started to spray around and enveloped him.
Seamus didn't try to struggle but he held his breath secretly and pretended to go unconscious. A door from across the room was opened and another guard came out to grab Seamus after the clamps in his body released him.
Leaving his body limp Seamus cracked open his right eye slightly and surveyed his surroundings. The room past the door was a hallway, he saw multiple cameras across the hallway the guard was crossing.
There were multiple doors on the left and right of the hallway. The guards moved past multiple before stopping at the the second last door from the other side of the hallway. The door the guards was entering had a plaque on it reading Implant room.
'I can't avoid getting a tracking implant but if I know where it was implanted it would be simple fore me to extract it. There was a large machine in the middle of the Implant room. The machine born guard hoisted him onto the bench and placed him on the bench.
After exiting the machine started to whirr to life, inching closer to Seamus the scalpel part of the machine start to vibrate at extreme speeds, starting to cut the area around his chest. After a large incision was made, a square tracker was brought to his chest and implanted near his heart region.
'This is going to be 10x harder than I thought.' Seamus was slightly angered with the elevated difficulty of extracting the implant.
After the implant was implanted and stitched to an imperceptible degree, the machine started to write down the data of Seamus.
"WARD 50195303. Height 5"10, Weight 180 Pounds. Average heart rate 80 bpm. Blood type AB. Date of joining Realm of Paradise 115/12/17 A.N.A. Taken from the Fallen Realm. High chance of rebellious behavior. Recommended for heavy surveillance." The machine stated in a zealous manner.
'Of course I would want to rebel, who would want to stay here unless forced." Seamus silently cursed in his heart. He was formulating a plan on how to bypass the security checks of the tracking implant, but he didn't have a concrete idea until he saw the interior of the settlement.
The guard came in and carried him all the way to the end of the hallway past the door and into a conveyer room. After being thrown onto the conveyer belt, Seamus couldn't see anything anymore so he closed his eyes.
After a few minutes the conveyer belt opened up to a capsule area where a guard was waiting for him. After picking him up it opened up the capsule and shoved him in. Carefully moving his eyes around he could see that it was a bullet elevator, the number on the inside of the capsule read as Room 501,353.
The bullet capsule suddenly sped downwards at extreme speeds, only stopping after reaching it's destination. Coming to a halt, a loud alarm was sounded around the capsule. Seamus rubbed his and looked around the capsule making sure he looked groggy.
"Where am I? What did you guys do to me?!" Seamus questioned around himself knowing that he was always being watched.
"Please enter your designated room test subject 50195303" The mechanical voice directed to Seamus.
After getting up he walked into the room that was given to him with caution. Scanning it he saw a bare bones living space. 'I don't even get a bed for me to sleep on?' Grumbling inwardly Seamus walked towards the only thing inside his room. After observing the object he realized it was a kiosk with a sleek and streamlined design.
Pressing the power button the kiosk booted up showing a few rows of decisions.
1. Tests & Missions
2. Coliseum
3. Transactions
More to be added
Seamus pressed the Tests & Missions icon and scanned all tests that were available. In the middle of the kiosk the screen was divided between two columns of tests and missions.
Looking at the rows at the top, one of the tests were to enter the Coliseum. The other side was a mission was to scout a certain perimeter of the settlement. Seamus was certain that that the scouting mission was not as simple as it seemed.
'I'm still clueless on a lot of things around the settlement, I need more information." Seamus began to brainstorm on what he needed to do.
Note : This chapter is kind of short, I'm trying to see if the content is interesting, I need more time to write. If it's interesting let me know and I can either keep publishing more chapters or stock them up before publishing in batches.
