Hey so this is kind of a part two of the prologue! I'll let the writing speak for itself but please realize that this is the prologue. This isn't the actual story yet. The real chapters will be longer, involve more characters, and be in more familiar territory.


The Mother of Invention was louder than I expected it to be. The whirring of its mechanics and screaming of its passengers arguing over something trivial were just a few things disrupting the otherwise quiet walk to my new quarters.

When our transport arrived in the ship's landing bay, two other recruits and myself were directed toward our new residence without a second's hesitation. I was puzzled for a moment when I was separated from the others and told to go in the other direction. The Director had told me that I was going to be trained in a unusual way, but I hadn't expected to have different quarters than the others.

"Hey there." A deep, kind voice from behind broke through my conscience, "Where you headed?"

I swiftly stop and glance over my shoulder to see a man clad in purple armor sauntering in my direction. I scowl slightly in annoyance and turn on him before answering, "My quarters."

He's caught up with me by now and stops an arms length away, a friendly air practically radiating off of him, "Are you a new recruit? I haven't seen you around here before."

My frustration with this stranger vanished when I noticed the genuine curiosity in his voice. I give him a small smile before answering, "Yeah."

"Always nice to see a new face." He says while offering his right hand, "I'm Agent North Dakota."

My smile is full blown by this point so I place my bare hand in his gloved one and we shake hands, "I'm—"

"ALERT LEVEL ONE! RESISTANCE SHIP INCOMING!" A disembodied voice bellowed through the speakers just as red lights began to flash all throughout the hall. I look up at Agent North Dakota, irritation etched across my face while he looks down at me and, I can't tell with his helmet on, but I think he smiles. I think he's laughing at me.

Asshole.

"Introductions later?" He yells over the alarms that are now sounding and I nod, "Good! Now go get your armor on!"

Before I can do or say anything else, he turns on his heel and sprints down the hall. I look thoughtfully after him for a moment before I turn around and sprint toward my room.

I make a few wrong turns and nearly tear by it, but I eventually make it to my quarters in one piece. The alarms screaming in my ear don't bother me as I swipe my key over the lock and open the door.

I do a quick once over of my new residence. There's a plain bunk in the back left corner and a small closet on the other side with metal desk placed next to it. I also notice another, larger door which must lead to a bathroom or something. I don't really care at the moment.

I dash to the closet door and wrench it open and can't help it when a bittersweet feeling floods through me. I found my armor.

But the damn thing was white.


Good? Bad? Should I really be concerned about where this is going?

Please inform me of any mistakes. Thanks :)
