Seventeen was woken up with a shake. Twenty and Twelve were standing over her. "What time is it?" she yawned.
"Mother of Invention just docked you better get down to the hanger before introductions start or Zero's gonna kill you" Twelve informed.
"I'll finsih your armour" Twenty said grabbing the half finished piece from last night.
Seventeen checked her hair was nice and neat while running down. She was so late! She slid straight into the massive hanger near the airlock where the Mother had been docked to. It was about to ope she bolted next to Zero who looked calm and trying not to laugh at her.
"I'm here!" she blurted aloud to Zero stopping herself from slipping right next to him.
"You're late and I thought you'd dress nice for meeting new people" he said looking over her appearance.
"I thought I said no camera's" she retaliated nodding to the security camera in the corner. "So I guess we're even" she added.
What was the penalty for being a smartmouth to you commanding officer? She had no clue but was sure it was going to come along any day now. The airlocks had opened after being declared airtight.
A man with glasses followed by a black African-American man came in. They were followed by six or seven other soldier in armour. They saluted standing at attention. Seventeen joined them on the salute. The two agency representitives stood in parrell lines across from eachother.
"I am the Director of the Proteus program or known as Zero among my men this is Seventeen she is one of our top operatives. She is the one who we are sending with you, please feel free to look around the station. Seventeen will be happy to answer any questions you will surely have" Zero introduced her.
Seventeen stiffened. They. Were. Looking. Around. Her. Home!
She wasn't sure whether to be outraged and slap Zero straight out the airlock or whether to kick their asses instead, although now she thought about it seven onto one, there was only a slim chance she could win that.
They took that as dissmissal. Seventeen was about to get up and leave but was stopped by one of the freelancers. "Who's named after a number?" One smirked taunting. A femae in purple armour with sea green tips she identified.
"Who the hell names themselves after states?" Seventeen responded obviously not in the mood for a fight or anything related to the subject of a fight.
Seventeen turned and left despite thier many questions she approached a computer and started on the PA.
"Twelve get you ass down here! Zero put me incharge of being a tour guide and I don't wanna do it!" She called.
Getting a response she knew was going to cause a fight. "So do I why should I do it?" he returned.
"Because I asked nicely" Seventeen responded feeling the need to hit something fast.
Despite trying to shake someone who was following her, Seventeen felt really annoyed. Why was she like this? Entering the training room she selected a holo-graphic course changing the seen of the grey room to an insurrectional base. She had run this hundreds of times before but this felt different it felt...real.
She stopped the simulation. No way could she do this. She still felt something following her and decided to go to the mess hall. Seventeen entered at what could be described as hell of a time. One of the Proteus agents Seventyfive was in a fight with a freelancer in white armour with an EVA helmet.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" the watchers both Mother of Invention and Proteus chanted.
"What the fucking hell is going on here?" She yelled demanding to be told the whole room went quiet.
"Well?" she demanded waiting. No one was stupid enought to pick fights on the station with her in the room, they well and truely knew why.
"SeventyFive started it" one of the Proteus agents called from the crowd.
"Seventyfive?" She raised an eyebrow to him.
"Idiot was-" She lost it. Seventy-five was going to make an excuse everyone knew it already if he weren't such a good field agent he would have been kicked off ages ago.
"I don't care what he was doing. Sit down! Shut up! Get your food then leave! I expect better from you all to have encouraged this!" She firmly said.
"And If you do it again, you won't be sitting down or talking for a month when I am through with you" she threatened before leaving.
