I'm not going to ramble on anymore so enjoy the story hahahaha!
Chapter 1: "Just Another Day In Eden"
Jacob's POV:
*BEEPBEEP*
*BEEPBEEP*
That was the noise I had woken up to before I literally slammed a fist on top of the snooze button for my alarm clock. I looked over and it said '5:30 AM' meaning I had at least an hour to get ready before going to work at my job. Despite my father saying that I had a fine mind much like his I really wasn't interested in getting a job at the Ministry of Science only to be transferred to the Ministry of Information weeks later.
Funny thing is that actually happened to my father when he applied for a job at the Research and Development section for the M.O.S. only for his supervisor to take just one look at his IQ scores and make a phone call to one of the spooks who, after much consideration, had approved or rather orchestrated his transfer into the Ministry of Information's Special Projects Division. After that my dad...changed and became rather isolated from his friends and family. Although there were some exceptions where he would open up to me if he felt the need to discuss things with me in private.
He never told me anything in regards to his work and I never asked even though a part of me thinks he wants to tell me but is waiting for when I do ask. Brushing those thoughts aside I got out of bed to get ready for work since it was probably just another day in Eden.
I made my way into the hallway bathroom which was just left of my bedroom where a fresh pair of clothes that I usually wore to my job as on of Eden's Peacekeepers at the Ministry of Justice. I stopped in front of the mirror over the sink to look at myself. There wasn't really much about my appearance being twenty three years old with white skin, dark brown hair, bluish-green eyes, an average muscular build, and reaching about 6'3" in height and weighing one hundred forty six pounds.
After I turned the shower on and waited for the water to heat up I stripped out of my briefs since I usually slept in my underwear before stepping into the shower and cleaning myself. After about five minutes I stepped out, dried off, and put on my gray and black uniform for the day. Once I finished getting dressed I went back into my bedroom and into my closet to grab the items aside from my uniform which was necessary for my job as a cop. I pulled out a small weapons case ans opened to see the standard issue equipment for all Peacekeepers assigned to patrol duty. What lay inside was what you consider the usual layout for police officers of the twenty first century. The Sig Sauer P226 was a rather basic handgun capable of chambering either 9mm, .45ACP, .40S&W, .22LR or .357 SIG and was picked to be the perfect candidate as a standard issue sidearm for agents of both the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Defense due to its reliability and sheer ruggedness.
Upon taking the dark colored pistol out and inspecting it before loading a fresh magazine of fifteen nine by nineteen millimeter hollowpoint rounds into the Sig's receiver I then placed it into the holster on my belt and grabbed four extra magazines along with two pairs of handcuffs, a flashlight and the signature weapon of crowd control for all Peacekeepers, the Stunstick which was capable of delivering 5,000 volts of nonlethal electricity into a person upon making contact with human skin or clothing. Then I took out a ballistic vest which was usually given to patrol officers. The Kevlar fibers that the material of the vest was made of had changed very little compared to its predecessors centuries ago.
After I slipped on the armored vest I took out the final piece of my uniform which was a badge that had my name engraved as "Jacob C. Williams" just under the insignia for the M.O.J. and pinned it to my vest before making my way downstairs to leave for work just like I did every other day as well. I made my way out the door since it was my mom and dad were still asleep and my father didn't have to leave for work until 7:30. I took a deep breath and made my way down the road since the station I was assigned was only two miles away from the suburbs my house was in.
Along the way I noticed on my watch that I had only ten minutes before I needed to check in so I picked up a latte and a jelly filled donut as a quick breakfast before I looked up. Even with an artificial environment system you could still see the ceiling of the caverns where the Atmospheric Generation Module was embedded into the very rock. Aside from making conditions livable the AGM was also able to simulate day and night settings to make it feel as though you were on the surface. After finishing my latte and scarfing down the rest of my donut I finally made it to the station I worked at.
I went inside the main hall and went down to the locker area to clock in before heading to roll call. A part of me was still wondering about my dad since he mentioned last night that he had an important project to oversee today. He didn't say what it was and when I asked he told me he would explain when I got off work later tonight.
To be continued?
A/N: Nothing too important with this chapter since I just wanted to give you a description of my character as well as other things. I promise that in the next two chapters Jacob will be out of Eden and will make his way to Zootopia soon. One other thing this will contain NickxJudy but that won't happen until the midpoint of the story. See you down range!
