Spartan Training

By: Natination

The Spartans was ready for the skeleton argumentation after extreme training. As they filed into their serial number rooms, doctors and many other strange people got ready.

"What the hell?" Nate said to himself as gas filtered into the room and a few seconds later he was asleep. Meanwhile several hallways down, Sam were swearing too as the gas overwhelmed him.

13 hours later, the Spartans gathered in a conference room, some were in wheel chairs. The deaths filed in, over half died from the surgery and 1/3 of the remaining Spartans were crippled in some way. The mood was moot in any case, no one felt like doing anything. More then half the people they knew and trained with died within a 24 hour period.

Nate and Sam sat in a corner as they quietly talked to one another.

"God, whatever the hell they did to us, it feels like getting out of work and being 3 times tired." Nate said.

"Yup… Besides that was the end of the conversation before ONI came and claimed them. Escorting them to briefing room of sorts, they were sat down. The room wasn't well decorated, just a table and a few chairs.

The guards didn't talk ether, but then again, Sam and Nate didn't bother to ask questions. ONI was being paranoid and generally being a pain in the ass as always. It seemed to be several hours before a woman walked in, and was defiantly ONI simply by look.

Nate and Sam jumped to their feet and saluted before sitting down again as she returned the salute.

"You two will be separated from the Spartan group; you two have something special to do."

"What might that be Ma'am?" Nate asked.

"Be the first to test our new armor." She grinned. "We're been watching you two from the pelicans. You can't hide the fact that you were 16 year olds in 10 year old bodies any more when we picked you up."

Nate and Sam were shocked by what they had heard. They only talked about it a few times in private, with no one around, who else could know it? Truth was that they knew it.

"You will tell what happened, and how did you get to the future." ONI agent said. "And show us the device that got you here."

Nate gave a glance that Sam, asking if they should do a bullshit story or not. Sam nodded a no, as he gave the look "why bother?" Nate shrugged his shoulders as he turned to the female officer again.

"You might want to sit down Ma'am; it's a very long story." Nate said. "See, it was the year…."
