"Hello _ and welcome to project freelancer." said a man in grey.
"Who are you, where am I?"
"You are on the mother of inventions, _.. Or should I call you Nickolas Faulth? Well that doesn't matter for now. Your new name will be Agent Louisiana. And as for I? Well I am the director of Project Freelancer."
"How long have I been in cryosleep?"
"Forty-five Years."
"Oh."
"And know for some questions. How old are you?"
"Fourteen."
"Where were you born?"
"Reach"
He then looked at me in surprise, but just looked back at the clipboard.
"Who are your parents?"
"I-I don't know."
"Well, we will take you to the armory to get you new armor."
"Has the others had _?"
"No, the suits we have crafted are for non _ people, and is twice as strong as the suit you are wearing."
"Really! That's so cool!"
As we walk into the armory, I see a blond male with gray and yellow striped armor on, well except the helmet. He looks towards me and suddenly said.
"Who is the newbie?"
"This is Louisiana. You new comrade."
"Whats with the old green armor? I thought that was out of style years ago?"
"I was put in Cryo sleep for 45 Years. I was one of the _"
"Oh really?! That's neat, how old are you?"
"14"
"Wow you're younger than me. Im 18. I'm washington by the way but call me wash for short."
"Nice to meet you wash."
And at that moment the director butted in.
"Well, Louisiana, it's time to get you your new suit of armor." and with that he walked off towards one of the racks on the wall.
"Here is your amor. ODST to be exact."
I look at the blue and maroon armor in front of me. On the top of the helmet there were some designs etched into the metal with each section having its own pick of the two colours. And on the bottom jaw was fang like spikes sticking out and painted silver.
The rest of the armor just looked normal with bits of silver scattered around and the same coloring as the helmet.
"This looks so cool! Thank you director." I exclaimed with excitement.
He just nodded as I took of my helmet and shaked my head to get my mahogany colour hair out of my face and then continued to take of the suit. And put on the new one. It was lighter, flexible and fit well.
"Now that you are equipped with armor. I would like you to pick a weapon and then head to the mess hall with Washington."
"Yes sir!" and I ran of towards the weapons rack and grabbed a Pistol and a Binary Rifle and walked out to find Wash.
"There you are Wash. can you take me to the mess hall?"
"Yeah Louisiana. Follow me."
He took me out to the hall and started to walk in the opposite direction of where me and the director came from. I took off my helmet and looked around.
"So what are the others like?"
"Well they can be fun at times, but they are sirius when it comes to missions."
"Well who wouldn't? A mission can be life or death."
"Quite right, have you been on one before?"
"yeah, one. Before the we have on today came out."
"Cool! Well here we are."
We walked into a long room with tables lined across the room.
"Well who is this?" said a man in purple.
"Im Louisiana, the new agent. Nice to meet you."
"Well my name is North, the blond female over there is South, the blond man is York, and the redhead is Carolina."
"Well it's nice to meet you North." I said as I smiled at him.
"So who's shorty?" Asked South.
"This is Louisiana. The new Freelancer."
"Why does he get cooler armor?!" York yelled. I laugh a bit at that. My suite was pretty cool after all.
"Well what's your story?" Carolina asked.
"I am one of the original _ from forty-five years ago, I was Put into Cryosleep for reasons that I don't really know. But most likely to help protect something when the time comes. I was one of the top _"
"Wait, then do you know the _ _?"
"_ must have gotten to that rank after all hu?"
"So I'm guessing thats a yes?"
"Yeah"...
My vision started to cut out as the words started to sound like it was under water. I was being shaken awake from the feel of it. I open my eyes to see Church and Tucker kneeling next to me, Church being the only concerned one.
"oh come on Nick, wake up! You are now the only person I can stand in blue base!" Church said not noticing that I was awake.
"Come on! He hasn't been awake even a day and you already like him over me!"
"I'm up! Please stop shaking me…. And yelling.. My head hurts from sudden memories. " I say pitifully.
"oh thank god! I didn't want to call in that you were dead to." Tucker said sarcastically.
"good to know you care" I mimicked right back.
"what did you remember?" Church asked, he seems a bit aggravated.
"well, I was going to get my helmet when I heard you and Tucker talking. So I listened in for a moment, but then you said Freelancers and then everything turned black. I then got a memory of when I was apparently forced to join the Freelancers, after being in Cryosleep for 45 years, for reasons I don't know. But there was a lot of blank spaces left in my memory." I say as Tucker suddenly got really worried.
"How many years ago was this? And why were you in cryosleep?" Church asked curiously.
"Two mabey, I was 14 at the time, but I don't know if i was put back to sleep. The memory stopped when I met a bunch of the Freelancer and got this wicked suite if armor. I hope Flowers had it. As for the second question. No clue, there was certain things I couldn't hear."
"well, I think it's time for us to find you a place to sleep. Just follow me." that I did, and the moment my head hit the pillow, I passed out exhausted.
