Accident

The tour continued, they moved to the third floor, where they had to walk across a cat walk. Beyond the railings was glass that showed an area that looked ravished by unnatural forces.

"As you may see, these disgusting lands are unfortunately radioactive which is harmful to the land around it, in which we have contained and began researching it to further find a cure to radiation disease found in some animals and plants. Don't worry, it isn't harmful to us with systems. Since... Adam and Eve was able to survive the nuke from a thousand years ago..." The tour guide clearly saw the boredom the class had, "Well, keep looking for a bit and we'll start moving on in a minute."

Normally, Prometheus would look around admiring the many experiments that were happening, but he was lost in thought. 'Blood-lust. What did that mean again? Plus it was a locked skill. The only known locked skills are cooking, hunting, and governing. Skills that can be unlocked after completing a requirement. Skills that everyone can obtain, but what in the world is Blood-lust. It definitely isn't an obtainable skill that someone can be taught. I should probably look up what Blood-lust even means.'

Prometheus pulls out his phone and begins looking up what blood-lust meant. 'Someone's desire to kill someone? Why would that be a locked skill? Does that mean that I want to kill Moroccos?'

As Prometheus was lost in thought, the rest of his class and the tour guide was ready to move on to the next area. The tour guide gathered the whole class together, Clementine was separated from Prometheus she was too busy admiring what was beyond the glass. She assumed that Prometheus had already joined the class, so she caught up with the class looking for Prometheus.

However, Prometheus was still lost in thought among the crowd on the catwalk. Moroccos was separated from his group of friends, he too was admiring what was beyond the glass. After he heard the call to get together, he turned away from the glass and noticed Prometheus leaning forward on the railing, browsing on his phone. 'Looks like I have to tell 16 to catch up with the class' Moroccos thought as he walked behind Prometheus. 'How should I get his attention? I'll scare him!'

Moroccos crept up next to Prometheus and shook him, "Boo!" Prometheus was caught off guard, jumping in shock and accidentally dropping his phone through the cracks between the glass and railing.

"What the fuck," Prometheus yells turning around becoming furious at who scared him.

[SKILL - BLOOD-LUST - LOCKED]

Moroccos started laughing, then quickly stopped after seeing the face on Prometheus. "Woah 16 you don't have to be so angry, it's just a little scare. We gatta get back to the rest of the class."

"You fucking made me drop my phone!" Prometheus turned back around and attempted to reach down the crack, however he was unable to reach his phone. He went on his tippy-toes to get a further reach. His fingers were barely able to touch his phone, so he leaned further to pick it up with his fingers.

"Did you get it," Moroccos asks with concern in his voice. As he said this Prometheus attempted to pick up his phone, but hit it which made it fall further down the crack. He could no longer see it, "Shit," he yelled. He stopped leaning on the railing and walked to Moroccos with the intent of punching him in his face, but he stops himself and walks to the glass, looking for his phone from there.

He saw it on top of a bush, it looked like it's screen was cracked. "I can't get it."

"Seriously," Moroccos walked next to Prometheus and spotted his phone. "Shit man, I'm sorry. I didn't know you would drop your phone."

'Did Moroccos really apologize to me?' Prometheus thought as he calmed down from the apology.

"It's fine," Prometheus says, walking away from the glass, "We'll just ask our guide if we could get it later or something."

Prometheus and Moroccos caught up with the group and explained the situation to their teacher and guide. "Well, no one is allowed inside the experiment zone. I'll try to send a word in to the scientists who run the experiment, but I doubt they will delay their experiment for one phone. So it may be destroyed before we could even retrieve it."

Upon hearing the news Prometheus became upset, "Getting another phone like that will cost me a lot. I'm not even a high enough level to be allowed in the store to get it."

"How did you get that phone," Moroccos asks eating a sandwich. It was lunch time now, the class took a break to eat lunch on the 6th floor of the building. "My brother gave it to for Christmas. He got a bunch of XP for doing it."

"You have a brother?"

"Yeah."

"Huh. Never knew."

That night when the class was in their hotel, Prometheus was getting ready for bed. The girls and boys were separated, but Clementine was inside the room, hiding underneath Prometheus' blanket. Their teacher was doing room checks to make sure everyone was in order. As Ms. Ivan confirmed that Prometheus and his roommate, who was coincidentally Moroccos, were settled she took off to her own room.

Prometheus hopped into bed and prepared to have his night of fun with Clementine when Moroccos interrupted them.

"What do you need," Prometheus asks annoyed and impatient.

"16, come help me, I'm going to get your phone back."

Prometheus got out of bed, and faced Moroccos. "How will you get it back. It's probably destroyed by now."

"You said that you won't be able to get another phone like your old one. So I'm going to sneak into the building, go into the little experiment zone, grab it, then run."

"That's crazy! No one can just sneak into a government building!"

"Shhh," Moroccos emphasizes as he covers Prometheus' mouth. "Everyone is supposed to be asleep remember."

Prometheus forces Moroccos' hand off of his mouth. "So what's the plan?"

Moroccos opens his menu, sharing it with Prometheus. Prometheus runs down his stats...

--

[Name: Moroccos Streak]

[Level - 17 {1480/1700}]

[Age: 16]

[Skills: Hacker {Lvl. 5}]

--

'Streak? That's a hacking family.'

"Level 5 Hacker," Prometheus says surprising Clementine.

"That's a high enough level for you to completely shut down a business," she says getting up from Prometheus' bed with the blankets wrapped around her.

"Not just a business, I can shut down their whole shop online. Find out the location of every single employee. Freeze their bank accounts. I did all of that back when I was just at level 4. Now that I'm level 5, I can probably hack my way into the government building. It'll take a while though, that's why I need your help. I need someone to watch my back."

Prometheus thinks for a moment, "Decide now. I'm either leaving with or without you," Moroccos says.

"Fine," Prometheus finally says, "I'll come with you."
