Year zero

"she's been disarmed, no weapons no clothes, nothing inorganic on her body except for a tattoo on her left arm" the caption continued on with his explanation "before entering we would putting on some some warm cloths, do you understand miss Martiza?"

The caption turned around even in that small hallway every soldier under him turned around towards me in unison. A sense of great pressure rested on my heart but I replied without showing any nervousness.

" Yes, sir smith. "

" Good.. You seem confident"

He turned around and continued walking.

Sir John Jonas smith, the head of security for the k-2 special force of sectoral defence. He was big man both in age and size, his face reflected authority, he had blue eyes which went along with his square face, the only fault in his facial feature were the wrinkles over his face. He was getting old After all sooner or later we'll need a new caption of sector 52.

Even the soldier surrounding me walked with a faster pace than normal just to catch up with an old man.

I followed the caption down the white Mable hallway, then we passed a room with glass on both side each one having different kind of machine parts people wearing special silver coloured suit worked on something inside. the one to my right had a big rod like machine with red optical device closely attached to each other. The machine looked my way in a confuses way, his one eye lifted up while the other half closed.

" His name is Thomas, they say it was famous name before the shift."

One of the men surrounding me sneaked the information into my ears.

"I haven't heard of it before"

"well that's how its meant to be"

"I guess"

With that small conversation we continued walking a few more more hours. First we walked down long unsteady metallic stairs of whom I'm thankful for not falling.

As we started to reach the bottom of the stairs i felt as if the temperature have rose up by a degree of ten, either that or I've been walking too long.

Finally after following smith till the bottom we reached solid ground but the surface was transferring heat directly to the sole of my boots, the ground was too hot but thankfully we didn't have to wait long before departing from there. After walking a few steps forward a big elevator door stood in front of us.

Caption smith stepped forward and swiped a key in for authorisation, the door opened with a beeping sound but to my surprise the elevator was already filled. Filled with a bunch of clothes hanging inside of it.

The caption signalled of the soldiers to take out the clothes, the man stepped forward taking the clothes in his hand he handed them to first then to the other soldier but for some reason the caption only picked his pair after entering the elevator.

"Now, if you don't wanna be a frozen chicken down there quickly put on those clothes miss Martiza" he said.

"okay.. But isn't it too hot to wear jackets here"

By the time said anything all the others have already worn there jackets and gloves.

I too quickly wore the jacket and gloves and got on the elevator then the others got sandwiching me in between a bunch of jacket wearing hot metal walls.

But soon as the elevator descended, a sense of danger took over me, my eyes were getting blurring and i found myself fighting my own senses to stay consciousness.

I rested my hand on one of the soldiers shoulder. Soon caption placed a breathing device on my face and helped me get up on my feet.

At that time I felt as if the nerves in my brains will burst and my heart felt ready to explode as well but slowly as the elevator went even down and eventually stopped on the lowest floor i felt my whole body back in my control again.

"what.. Happened.. To me?" i asked panting .

"Going from extreme heat to freezing cold and a differences in atmospheric pressure, it must have strained your body a bit" one of the soldier replied.

"A.. a bit? I almost died"

"believe me that's nothing compared to what you came here for." the caption remarked getting out of the elevator as soon as the door opened.

My legs were still unsteady but I managed to get out. Suddenly a jolt of electricity ran through my body as the cold chilly wind ran over my sweaty forehead.

I was a bit surprised but the cold weather was the least of my worries.

" but a gust of wind underground that's something"

"well that's just how its around her, you'll soon be the first person to meet her in two hundred year, and forgive me but i can't take you any further once you enter the containment chamber caption kim of sector 56 will be guiding you"

Hearing the caption the remaining doubt in my heart was cleared away.

<Finally i get to meet her>

I walked straight ahead reaching to a door i heard the door elevator door beep behind me and at the same time the door in front of me opened.

The door opened to a white room with no visible exist.

<i don't feel good about this.>

With a little bit of reluctance in my steps i stepped inside the room and stood in the centre, observing the room i saw a small camera and a microphone attached to a concert of the wall just above the door i entered from.

"welcome miss Martiza." a mechanical voice greeted me.

"well thank you, but can we please accelerate things i need to complete this task in a few hours , it's an direct order from 'The one."

"of course, first if you could please undress and leave your clothes on the floor after that a door on the wall to your right hand will open you'll have to walk through that passage"

"why?" there was no answer but I did as it said, even if this was some sick joke by the person behind the camera time was running low and i need to be on schedule.

After undressing completely to the flesh a door really opened on the wall to my right at the time I was spoken to.

At the entrance of the passage all I could see was a small a glass door at the end. As soon as I stepped inside and started walking a huge amount of water rained down at me.

"STERILIZATION IN PROGRESS"

"PLEASE DON'T USE ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS ALCOHOLIC WATER IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE "

Once again the static voice issued instruction.

as the water powered down I reached the last door between me and my objective.

The glass door opened as soon as I step beyond it there was small table with clothes thrown on it.

<i don't need an instructions here>

"now please wea-"

"I know" I cutted.

After being drenched in alcoholic water i have to wear this army dress. I didn't even dry myself!

But there's no time to waste
