Chapter 1
Date: Year 2525
Location: Spartan II Augmentation Lab, The Planet Reach
John lay there while the bright lights blinded him. He lay still on the cold metal table. This is the day the scientists altered his body. They had made a process in which the scientists would pump a certain chemical through IVs through his bones and muscles to make them stronger. It was going to be almost superhuman strength to get the Spartans ready for war. This process however is harsh even to the strongest bodies chosen. Many have died before John. The anesthetic kicked in and John mind went black.

He woke up in pain. His arms were wrapped with layers of gauze. There was still a IV stuck in his right wrist. He looked down at his chest, it was filled with tiny holes where they inserted the needles. The lower half of his body was covered in a thin white sheet, and he began to shiver. He sat up slowly. The room was dim, only lit by a few florescent bulbs on the other side. There was no windows or any kind of fancy decorations. The walls around him were completely metal, and he guessed it was about 10x10 room. The door clicked open.
A beautiful woman walked in.
" Hello John," she started. "Good to see you are doing well. My name is Doctor Catherine Halsey."
"Nice to meet you," John said as he offered his hand to shake hers, a greeting known to all.
She accepted it and went to get something in a nearby cabinet.
"You better put these on," she said handing him a pair of scrubs." I'll give you some privacy," she said as she left the room, letting the door click behind her.
John got dressed slowly avoiding to scrape against the IV.
He had a sensation of adrenaline. He needed to run or climb or something, just to get out of this small room.
"Ready," Halsey questioned through the door.
"Yes," John replied.
She walked back in with a clipboard and a few canisters in hand. She sat all of it down beside him.
"Take those if you feel in pain, but only take one for three days, the doses are quite high," she said pointing to the middle canisters. "The other two is z-pens if you have an allergic reaction to anything."
"Okay," John said quietly, a little bit frightened of what they had done to his body.
" Let me show you around the building," Halsey said as her nimble fingers, pulled the IV out of his wrist.
Once his feet touched the ground it sent shivers up his spine. She slowly exited out of the room and waited for him.
The sunlight blinded him as he stepped into the hallway. His eyes adjusted and he spotted the million little people walking on the streets stories and stories below him. Halsey turned and went down a flight of stairs. He ran down in front of her, to run off his energy. She just chuckled.
Halsey led him in a room to test him. She tested his eyes, cardio, and his endurance. He could see five times better than before, he could run for over an hour without tiring, and lift over 400 pounds.
She then took him to the front desk on the main floor and assigned him a room in the living quarters across from the laboratory, across the road.
He felt naked crossing the road in scrubs. Halsey then led him to his room, pointed where his clothes, food, and bathroom, and kitchen was and then left.
John sat on his bed for some time staring out and over the city, taking in the metal scenery, where he could see the sky, of the planet Reach. Next week there was another test, on the field, testing everything that he had been training for.
