"Wait! You mean to tell me that Pioneer 1 was really a cover for a military operation?"

"Well, yes, but they…"

"Count me out! My entire life was ruined by the military once before, I don't intend to go on any quest for them! Sorry Akemi, Kaji, Yakedo it's not your fault, I never told you how much I hated the military, I just can't stand the military at all because of what they did.

"Hono'o, sumimasen, I'm sorry. I knew you didn't like them, but I didn't know how much you hated the military." Said Akemi

"Its all right, maybe I'll find a quest or two of my own while you're away. Jama, See you later."

Saying this I walked out of the room. Pausing when the door closed, I thought about what to do next. After a moment I decided to go to the training room to blow off some steam.

Upon arriving, I found the room near empty. Deciding that weight lifting was as good a place as any to start, I went over to one of the benches and started adding weight. I started at five-hundred pounds, but by the time I was finished the weight had almost doubled. Next I went over to a treadmill to do some running. As I was running I had some bad memories of the past.

It was the last time I would ever see Pioneer 1 intact, although I would never know it. I stepped on the teleporter with all of the others that the military conned into coming on the suicide quest. We were immediately taken to the ruins where we were supposed to go to the innermost chamber, nobody made it. As soon as we entered the third part of the ruins, a bright light flashed and people began going insane and killing each other. Confused as to what I should do, I tried to stay a safe distance away, but some rangers started shooting me. Then I decided to try to end the madness by taking out all the people that were driven insane. At that moment, many of the ruin's many drones appeared the floating fishlike claws, and the more shark-like diminean, la-diminean, and so-diminean. Knowing that there would be nothing I could do when I was the target of so many, I ran as fast as I could.

Half an hour later, I heard the sound of fighting had stopped. Deciding to see what happened I went back. I was horrified when I saw the result, not only was every humanoid dead, but their bodies seemed deformed. But I didn't have much time to stare because as soon as I stepped in the room, the monsters appeared again, this time aided by the centaur like chaos bringer. I knew that I wasn't likely to win but I decided to hold my ground. I fought for as long as I could progressing from room to room, but eventually they finally bested me. As I collapsed out of sheer exhaustion I saw that the lightning spell gizonde was being used. Shortly after that I saw several foie's shot out and then the room was cleared. I turned to see a beaming female hunter a HUmarl smiling in my face. She cast the healing spell resta a couple of times and then I felt as good as new.

Finally I snapped back to myself, "Whoa that was weird." I said out loud.

"Huh, what was?" the HUmar on the treadmill next to me asked.

"Oh, nothing, just a very old and disturbing memory, no need to worry." I promptly replied

"Alright. Are you sure you're alright, you look kind of, well, dazed." the HUmar asked after glancing at me.

"I'm fine. Sorry to bother you." I said quickly as I walked away to go to back home for a bit.

On the way home I got a video message from Akemi, it said, "I'm really sorry; I wish that I had known. I wish you were here, but there aren't many monsters so you wouldn't have too much fun."

She sounded so sad in her message, I almost decided to try to go back, but then the memory flashed again and I rerealized my hatred for the military. So instead I decided to go back to the Hunter's Guild to try to find a nonmilitary quest that would take me into the ruins.

On the way back to the guild, I ran into a RAmar that wanted to know if I wanted to go on a quest in the mines. I politely declined and continued on my way.
