Sorry about the shortness of the last chapter. It was time pressed.
This chapter will be longer.
CHAPTER 2
THE REALIZATION
Rodriguez was suddenly awakened by a messenger from the general. Still a bit groggy from his sleep. He quickly got dressed and put on his boots. When he arrived at the generals office, he noticed a nerdy-looking man sitting in one of the chairs. "Ah, Rodriguez please sit down. I would like you to meet my friend Bennet."
"Nice to meet you Bennet." said Rodriguez. They shook hands.
"Oh please, call me Ben." Ben was short, very pale, and had black hair and glasses.
"You two should get along fine." noted the general.
"Hopefully, we'll only have to work together for fifteen years or so."Ben said. What was he talking about?
"You did good out there yesterday." Rodriguez shrugged.
"I wasted too many bullets."
"Ah huh. See what I told you." the general remarked. Ben nodded.
"Ok, tell me already."
"You're going to be a part of a new military project. The goal of this project will be to create the ultimate soldiers. We have developed a battle armor strong enough to take ten or more plasma shots before the soldier becomes vulnerable. The armor will link up with the computer chip in the weapon and cross-hairs and ammunition info will be displayed on the HUD in the armor's helmet. This plan has every sign of being successful, if you can do your job right." said Ben.
"Well what is my job?"
"You will be training the soldiers."
"What? That means I won't get to kill any more covenants."
"For the time being."
"That sucks."
"You'll live. You leave tomorrow. I figure you'll to do well. If not then, we've just wasted over 10 billion dollars. Then I'd be the idiot. You're dismissed."
"Yes sir."
Rodriguez left the generals office and decided to get some more sleep which he would probably need later on.
