Sorry for taking forever with my update.
Sophie
A boy with a black hat and a uniform that looked a mix of military and security walked up.
"I'm here for Sophia Lenark."
"That's me." I said. He put out his hand and I shook it.
"Phillip Campbell, son of Ares."
"Daughter of Athena,"
"Athenian huh, you'll do well. Why don't we get you set up in a room and a uniform?" He let me towards a room.
I nodded in agreement as I flicked my blonde braid behind my head. We came to a dormitory, like, sector. He took my badge and swiped it in the card slot and the door slid open.
The room was circular. There was a lounge area with a couch, television, pool table, and kitchen area. Around the border, were doorways. He took my bag and opened the third door. The room was empty. He put my bag on the bed.
"Your room," He said. He walked over to a wardrobe and pulled out a uniform. It was dark jeans, a long sleeve black shirt, a vest, and a belt. It was identical to his.
"Hey, they forgot your hat." He said looking in the closet. He pulled the sled black hat off his head and put it on my head.
"I've got an extra in my room." He said, rubbing his hand over his short brown hair. "Why don't you change and then we'll review your schedule, cool?" I nodded and he stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
I pulled off my Camp Half Blood shirt and laid it on the bed. This was the end for Sofia Lenark, daughter of Athena, quiet shy girl, and the beginning of something else, something important. I knew it.
I put on my uniform and it fit perfectly. I tightened my hat so it fit snug over my blonde braid, and stuck my dagger in the sheath on my belt.
I opened the door and Phillip was leaning against the wall, turning a knife in his hand. The blade was beautiful. Its edged designs were flawless.
"Nice blade." I commented.
"Thanks. It was a gift." He put it away and opened a pocket on my belt. He pulled out a rolled piece of paper.
"Your schedule," He handed it to me.
"The schedule consists of most your day. At six, you will report to your station, which I'll take you to in a moment. You will do your rounds for five hours. Then you have an hour for lunch, an hour of chores/general maintenance, an hour and a half of titanology class, a two hours for training, a three hour shift, then the rest of the night is your own to spend as you wish." He said as I read it off.
"Busy day," I commented.
"It's not too bad." He shrugged. "It's better than that stupid camp." He said.
"I guess you don't like camp."
"Here, I feel important, like I'm actually doing something good, like his is a serious matter, and I was chosen for this. It's an honor," He said. His brown eyes seemed to show a different Phillip, one I hadn't seen before.
He walked out of the circular room and led me to a room full of these tanks that reminded me of the Matrix. I looked into one and jumped when I saw a girl inside. She was submerged in clear liquid.
"The first look is always the creepiest." He said. "The containers shut down most bodily functions. The fluid keeps them alive, but asleep. These controls stabilize them. If something ever seems off, call in a medic." He hooked a walkie talkie too my belt. "Just say 'Red Alpha'. I there is a medical emergency, 'Red Beta'."
I nodded as I absorbed the information.
"If there is a security breach, 'Black Alpha' is the code word."
"Alright," I said looking around. The wall nearer me had a picture of the sun on it. The one opposite had the moon. "Helios and Selene sectors?" I asked.
"Yeah, you watch over this level."
"Alright, anything else I should know?"
"If there is a break out, be careful, we don't know what these things can do." He said before climbing a stairwell and leaving me to my station.
