I walked down the blue-metal hallways of the Global Cortex to the registration desk. The whole building was in the shape of a hexagon, with small buildings branching off of it. Registration was in the south "wedge" of the hexagon.

"Ah, there you are, Myk" said the desk clerk, "A new raven has joined our branch and needs to be shown around."

"Damn, I don't want to show some damn rookie around, he's probably going to think I'm like is best friend or something" I said.

"Are you saying you don't want to be my best friend?" said a female voice behind me.

I turned around to see probably the hottest chick within the whole city. She had blonde hair that I guessed was about down to her neck, but she kept it tied up in one of those chick hairstyles. I'm not all into fashion, so I don't know what the hell it's called. She also had beautiful green eyes. Her eyes could probably still be the most noticeable object even if New Las Vegas was in the background. Her body was so smokin' hot, she had awesome curves, and her boobs were very nice looking. Well, what guy wouldn't notice them? She was wearing a white jumpsuit that had 2 pink lines on it. One that went from the left shoulder to the right side of her hip, and the other from where the first pink line ended to the other side of her hip. She had white gloves on, one holding a white helmet. She was like an angel.

"No, not at all" I said, with obvious embarrassment in my voice. To make it even worse, I tried to repair what damage I did to the first impression by saying.

"Uh, I'm saying I want to be your friend"

Stupid Myk, Stupid Myk! I thought to myself. I looked down trying not to make eye contact and scratched my head to try and disguise it, but when I looked down, her boobs were then looking at me. I instantly looked to my right, hoping that she didn't see me look at her boobs.

"Hehe, alright, well, I'll bee your friend" she said with a beautiful voice, with a hint of flirting in it. Thankfully, she was looking down at her feet, shifted her weight to one of her feet, and prop her helmet so that she was carrying it over her shoulder, so she didn't see me catch that quick glance, and that pose made her look sexier.

When she looked up, she kind of tried to get a quick glance at me too, but then she realized I was watching her do that, and she immediately looked down again and put her hair behind her ear, trying to disguise it. Damn do I know how people act!

After a short pause, I guess she realized we don't even know eachother's names. She looked up again and stuck her hand out for a handshake.

"By the way, my name is Soni Windell"

"Oh yeah, my name is Myk. Myk Linear" I replied.

'Oh yeah'? What the hell is wrong with you Myk? I thought to myself. So I know how other people can't control how they act, but I can't control my own actions myself. Oh well, so sue me.

After my dumb, thick-headed, introduction, I showed Soni around. I explained to her how the Global Cortex is set up. Dormitories are in the northern wedge, rec. room in the north-east wedge, offices in the south- east wedge, registration and exhibits in the south wedge, and the garage and shop are in the final two west wings.

After showing Soni around, we went to the rec. room and ate at the food services Global Cortex provides. We sat down at the deli and talked.about nothing really, well, at least I got to know her better.

I found out that she was a brand new raven and hasn't even taken the starting exam. She said that all of the raven evaluators had been taken for the whole week. Many ravens have been coming up

"I see," I said, trying to sound interested.

"Well, I was wondering if you could be my evaluator," she asked.

"Oh, well, I think," I nearly fell of my seat when she said 'be my evaluator.'

"Oh come on, please? I can't wait a week to become a raven!" Her beautiful voice was too powerful and completely enslaved me.

"Ok, I'll be your evaluator."

Hell, I'd evaluate her body any day.
