"Can I just get this whole fiasco over with so I can go home?" I asked the woman leading me through the forest. "I'm sorry but since you opposed Pantera Inc. you won't be able to go back to your life prior to this evening," she said. I nearly stopped and dropped Pyrrha off my back.

I kept following this woman until I started to see the forest thinning. I ran and came face to face with a shipyard that had an airship being built. "This is the current base of the guardians. Welcome to the organization of progression: The Guardians." I turned to see the woman smiling at me. "I'll be your superior starting tomorrow. What is your name, rookie?" "I'll just go by Neo," I said, "What will I be calling my commanding officer?" "Prairie. My name is Prairie." She then lead me to the medical ward and told me to leave Pyrrha with the physicians. I reluctantly complied and followed Prairie to what looked like a makeshift mess hall. When she sat at a table, I sat across from her and waited for her next order.

"Do you know what you have to do to leave this place?" she asked me. I barely had to think and answered, "Their must be some exam in order to have the nearby transerver accessible by individuals. If the individual wishes to use the transerver to enter or leave this area, they need the correct credentials. Despite all transervers being public, private ones always need some access code for use." Prairie was taken aback and clasped her hands together. She smiled and said, "You're smarter than a lot of the people here. I hope you'll ace this exam."

I was then man handled and thrown into a proto-transerver. The larger of the two said, "Once you're transported, you'll be transfered the credits you were promised. Your exam starts the moment you finish re-assembling on the other side." The door was shut and the inside began to glow white.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a transerver near the heart of New York, New York. I left and was shocked to find someone waiting outside the room. It was a reploid with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and glasses. He was wearing long cargo pants and a red jacket. Giro of Giro transporting service, a competitor in goods transportation. "What're you doing here, Girouette?" I asked him. "Please, we're colleagues now. Call me Giro," he said, "I'm your proctor for your entry exam. You're to find other Guardians from here until central park. They're all on the street, so you don't have to hit the metro."

I told him I'd continue alone and left him at the transerver. I found all four of them at various shops. One at a boutique, another at a game store, another at the gym, and another at a hair salon. I then found the final guardian by the transerver in Central Park and he handed me a stuffed toy. "Oh my gosh, is this a plushie of a rabbit with a carrot?" "Yes, and that's our commander's favorite stuffed animal." "Isn't Prairie our commander?" "No, she's the next most likely person to rise up, but she'd rather become the commander when she retires rather than assume position prematurely. In any case, you can use the transerver behind me to head back to base. You'll be given access to the shipyard when you select your destination with this in your bag. However, make sure you return the plushie. Our commander can't go to sleep without it." I headed inside and transferred back to the shipyard.

"Neo, you're back! That was quicker than all the other applicants," Prairie said. She hugged me from behind, pressing her breasts against me. I felt my face warm up and said, "Hey, Prairie. I found all of the guardians quickly. I even got enough time to purchase some clothes." I separated myself from Prairie so I could keep my hands where I wanted them. I took the bag hanging from my belt and pulled out a blue scarf, a pink scarf, and a pink hat. I put the blue scarf around my neck and put the scarf and hat back in the bag. "The hat and scarf are a present for Pyrrha," I explained, "I knew from her attire that she would have been cold were it not for her running from security."

Prairie nodded and smiled at me saying, "That's pretty sweet of you. Like an older brother." I chuckled and nervously rubbed the back of my head. I started walking towards the medical ward and entered seeing Pyrrha sitting on a gurney hugging her plushie and talking to a nurse. She saw me entering and jumped off to run behind me. I rubbed her head and told her that I had to do something to make sure I could come back. She was shaking before I began calming her down.

"Can you not leave me again? You're the only person I feel safe around," Pyrrha asked me. I knelt down and looked her straight in the eyes and said, "I can't always be with you. But I can be with you as long as I can." I kissed her forehead and ruffled her head as I got up. "Now unlike you guys, I actually need sleep. I bid the both of you good night," I said.

When I woke up the next morning, Pyrrha was snuggled up next to me. Her stuffed animal wasn't held tight to her body, showing that she's starting to feel safer than before.
