Capítulo 6: Chapter 4: Acceptance(Remake)
After the exam was wrapped up, anxiety filled the room. Many of the cadets pondered their performance and whether they were good enough to attract the attention of a UNS captain. Meanwhile, Captain Marshall was gloating to Captain Davis, saying that Davis now had to pay his bar tab tonight.
Ren, meanwhile, went to talk with all of his friends. Tyler and Lily were a bit upset about their loss while Y/N and Scarlet were joyous.
Lily asked Ren about his strategy and nodded her head. His idea made sense. Take their best fighter out of the fight, then take out the other top students to cause leadership to fail. It was cruel, taking advantage of his friend's weakness in order to succeed, but that's how Ren was on the battlefield. Lily didn't hate that about him; in fact, part of her respected it. If there was something to be taken advantage of, a weakness or flaw of any kind, he would use it to his advantage. That's just who he was on the battlefield. The best friend you could ask for and the worst enemy.
"Hey." Scarlet spoke up. "You guys wanna come to my house while we wait for the acceptance emails?"
"Sure." Ren said.
Lily and Tyler both agreed, and they all walked to Scarlet's house, which was only a few minutes away from the school. Scarlet used her hand sensor on the door, and it opened.
"Mom! I'm home!" Scarlet yelled out.
"Oh! I'm coming!"
"Your mom stayed home from work today?" Tyler asked.
"She wanted to be home when I got back from the test." Scarlet said.
Soon Scarlet's mom, Rose, came from down the steps. She had long red hair just like her daughter, quite a beautiful face that you wouldn't even guess she was in her late 30s, and well...her body put models to shame. "Everyone's here! How'd the test go?"
"Well, my team won." Scarlet said. "Thanks to Ren's strategy."
"So you all passed?" Rose asked.
"No, Me and Ren were on the same team. Lily and Tyler were on the other." Scarlet explained.
"I see. Well, I have no doubts all of you did your best. The UNS Captains would be lucky to have any of you." Rose said. "Does anyone want something to eat?"
"I'm fine, Ms. Rose. Maybe some soda?" Ren said.
"Coming right up," Rose said with a smile.
The four friends sat on the couch together and turned on the TV. The TV was built into the wall and was about 74 inches long. They all turned on the latest galactic news as it talked about a skirmish between the Earth forces and the Centauri Empire; not many were lost, and the fight ended in a draw by most accounts; however, Earth propaganda said they drove back the enemy forces. From what they described, however, it sounded like a mutual retreat.
Soon Rose brought everyone some soda. It came in a clear glass bottle.
"Thanks, Ms. Rose," Ren said.
"No problem. So, any specific ship you guys are hoping to serve on?" Rose asked.
Everyone pretty much shared the same sentiment. They didn't care where they served, but they wanted to stick together.
Rose sighed. "I have to admit, you all going up to space to fight the war... it scares me."
"It'll be fine, Mom." Scarlet said. "We'll be safe, promise."
Rose nodded before taking a deep breath. "Okay, well, I'll be doing some work on my computer. Make yourselves at home. Ren, are you staying here tonight?"
"If I could," Ren said, asking.
"Always Ren. You know you're always welcome here." Rose said.
Ren had stayed at the Lister house plenty of times before. He didn't have any parents after all. He was orphaned at a young age and taken into foster care, though that didn't stick. Eventually Rose, along with Tyler and Lily's parents, all agreed to help take care of him, always offering him a place to stay when he wanted it, although he stayed with Rose the most, which made her feel like he was the son she never had.
As the hours passed, the anxiety among the group rose. That was when Ren received an email. He looked at his phone and looked.
"Congratulations, you have been selected to be a Sentinel Pilot.
This is not what usually happens, but if you would like to suggest any friends to join you, email their names to me, and they will receive offers from me as well.
We'll talk soon.
From Captain Aurora of the UNS Eternity."
Ren smiled before typing.
"Scarlet Lister, Lily Holmes, Tyler Lawson."
After about ten minutes the others received emails of their acceptance on board the UNS Eternity. They ignored all other offers and all accepted their recruitment to the ship, celebrating while Rose made them some food.
They celebrated into the night with their heads held high.
*Meanwhile on the UNS Eternity.*
"Are you sure that was alright, ma'am?"
Captain Aurora sat in her chair on the bridge mostly alone. Most of the crew went off the ship to either visit family, visit bars, or just get some rest. However, one crew member stayed on board.
"It's fine, Lena. Honestly, the suggestions weren't bad." Aurora said.
"If I may ask... why are you so interested in him?" Lena asked curiously.
"Let's just say...I owe an old friend a favor. And this is the best way to pay her back."
