This is my first ever (posted) attempt at fan-fiction, and I would really appreciate input on it. Also, I apologize that the first couple of chapters wil probably be a bit slow, I need to establish a few things before the story can start.

Gav,

Seeing as it's nearing the end of the month I'll be sending you some more recruits. This time I have 5 new ones. They're from all over the system, two are from Tokyo, one from colony XXVII on Pluto, one from here in central city, and the last from the Boe-Shane Peninsula on Mereelus VII.

The following are detailed descriptions of the recruits:

Name: Kylin Hrawer

Name: Aias Silva...

Gavrilia -or Gav as she preferred to be called- sighed. It had been a long day, it had been an even longer month. With the expansion of the time agency, and her new post within the company. It brought in more money than her previous job, but it also took up more of her time.

Its wasn't that her job was unpleasant. Her co-workers were nice and she enjoyed the work. It just took up so much of her time. Her social life was suffering, and her love life was non-existent. But still she carried on, training the youth of the world in the finer techniques of time-travel and teleportation.

She continued reading the message, quietly talking to herself as she went along, "Aias.. from Tokyo... research and development... Jayke Harrison, A colony on Sol IX... tourism branch.. fun... Addia Blake... From good 'ole Central city... PR... Nyran Tarn... Boe-Shane, on Mereelus VII..."

Upon reading the place of origin for the last recruit she stared at the screen her eyes filling with tears. Almost all her family had lived there, her entire Mother's side. But now after the attack... Somehow, as if the universe was frowning on her, and her entire family was now dead. Most of them were killed in the initial attack, the rest succumbing to their injuries or taking their own lives in despair.

She could only imagine what the poor soul had been through that day, for all she knew he could be the only one left of his family. She glanced at a picture frame on her desk that was currently cycling through pictures of the last summer she spent on Mereelus VII with her family.

There was a picture of her and her cousins playing in the water, they all looked so similar with their brown hair and round faces. Only she stood out among them. Her eyes, unlike the other's were purple, with just a tint of green, the only connection she had to her father's side of the family. He wasn't fully human, ergo neither was she.

The frame cycled through more pictures depicting her youth, when she noticed someone in the pictures as frequently as her own sister, and yet completely un-related to her. It was the neighbor boy, she couldn't remember his name, or anything about him really, Just that he was her cousin's neighbor and he had a brother named Gray.
