Eugene was on route 41, before he got to the nearest recruitment center he needed to sign in to a hotel. The nearest hotel was revelation resort, from what he remembered from what Josh told him it was nice for a cheap hotel for the night- but then again josh was a bit of a lier, let the Vegas incident of summer 3007 be proof alone. He reached the parking lot of the hotel and the first thing he noticed was the bright pink neon lights, he instantly regretted it. He got out his car and headed to the lobby. Just from from the lighting and the suggestively dressed women he could tell it was going to be one of those hotels. As he approached the desk one of women tried to flirt with him, that made him slightly uncomfortable.

"Hello how may I help you?" the clerk asked

"Um hey, uh… I'm here to sign out a room for the night."

"Alright sir, you're room 203, do you want 'company' on your stay?" the clerk asked

"Um no."

"Okay sir, enjoy your stay."

Eugene started Wonder what was waiting for him, he started to get a little cautious when he reached his room He sighed "Let's see what's behind the door." he muttered, He started to open it. and immediately the first thing he noticed was the box of condoms on the nightstand, he rolled his eyes at that. That Definitely confirmed his suspicions, he was in a fucking brothel, He was going to kill Josh. "Josh, you fucking pervert." He was afraid to go on the bed now- God knows who or what was previously on the bed, There was the floor, it looked more sanitary and comfy than the bed, He started to lay on the floor- it wasn't too bad, Then he started to think about his new life; he wondered what losses and fortunes will happen to him, what brothers in arms he'll meet and what medals he'll be awarded? It was exciting to think about it; after a couple minutes, he pulled out his link warp, He started check If there was any calls. There was one, it was from his sister, Adeline He started to call her back

"Hey sis, it's me."

"Hi Eugene."

"How are things?" He talked about his plan to join the military, Adeline wasn't sure what to make of it, She was sacred. She worried that Eugene might get hurt or worse, and that would crush her, she tried to hold back her urge to cry If that was her brothers choice than she needed to respect it "J-just don't get yourself killed okay?" she choked out "I won't Adeline." Slate sighed and decided to ask her something "Hey Adeline?"

"Yeah?"

"Can talk to Jessica for a bit?"

"Um sure."

"Eugene?" Jessica asked."Hey... um, I know I said other but in case I don't make out alive, C-could you promise me to be there for her and take care of her for me will you?" Slate said, barely able not to cry "Yes I can." Jessica kiss Adeline and handed the warp back to her, Adeline started to talk again "What did you tell her?" Adeline asked out of curiosity "I told her if I didn't come back she would take care of you." Adeline was silent for a moment "O-okay, g-go-good night Eugene." Adeline said before hanging up. Eugene started to feel bad, he hated that he is making her worry. But he started to yawn. "Next stop, the enlistment center." he said before falling asleep.

Eugene's link warp rang. He groaned "Who the hell could be calling me in... 6:29 in the morning?" He started to answer it "Hello?" He didn't get an answer right away "Heeeeeeeeeeyy, Eugene how's it hangin'?" Josh answered "Josh." Eugene started "Yes?"

"I fucking hate you."
