As I walk of the military transport I find the most majestic and intimidating building I've seen in my life. It's surrounded by a very weird landscape, that seems to have been terraformed into four completely different biomes. Lush mountains, a dessert hills area, a frozen forest, and a lake marsh. Then right in the middle the academy sits on a hill looking like a mix between a Fortress from the old legends of Earth, and modern dark steel.
This is a mad gloomy building. That I'll be stuck at for the next two years. Well at least it won't be boring.
Looking around it seems that the rest of the new cadets are leaving me behind I should catch up. Our guides talking about something.
"Ok gather around cadets it's time for the tour and placements. Some of you know where you are but for those that don't let me educate you. This 'lifting his hands to show the surroundings' is the Woods junior academy for officers."
" A place where you will live, learn, and breathe military leadership, tactics, and survival. For the next two real world years and 8 virtual years. But I'll explain that later first we need to test your gene limits."
"If you don't know what that is I'm not explaining the AI will. Now let's get this day moving follow me in."
So I follow the long line of 80 cadets as we chase after the guide who I guess is an instructor I see some Sargent stripes on his arm. And this is a military academy, I wonder if I'll see my parents before the day is done.
When the family's lackeys picked me up I got no kind of explanation they just grabbed me and said "Hi welcome to the family". Then they put me on that transport and said that I would get all my answers here.
Well there has been a lot of walking and talking but no answers. Oh it seems we got to where this so called test is.
" Ok cadets this test is going to decide a lot about your role and potential in the Woods Mil-Corp structure. Hop into the chambers and do your best to impress."
I walked up to this sleek dark gray virtual unit. There was a doc to the side looking at monitors and another making sure we all got in the units right.
As I stepped in the lid closed and the cold gel covered my body. Man I hope it won't ruin the only good clothes I have, this stuff looks like it won't come out.
As I was thinking that my vision went black.
Sargent Wit was observing the whole process, there was a lot of potential in this batch of recruits. Some of their preliminary DNA testing showed promise. The real curve ball was that one tomboy girl that had some Of the Owners blood in her. Most of the time they fast track their relatives to the advance course.
I wonder why they broke the pattern for this girl. Hummmm thinking to himself Sgt Wit could not make since of it. This smells of trouble I hope I don't get mixed up in this.
Well there is nothing I can do but I am curious about what her score will be.
As Asa aka the MC aka Alessandra's vision came to. She found herself in a councilors room like at the orphanage. Man she hated that room it always smelled like old corn and hand cleaner. And the director always talked so slow. I hope I don't get a slow talking AI.
Across from where she was sitting at the desk was the sexiest secretary looking AI she has ever seen. With that black and white suit and the glasses she was professional but in a sexy way. She had all the right curves and sizes to make her look fit but full in all the right places.
Man I hope I fill out like that in a few years. My chest is a little lacking but I'm very proud of my butt and hips so I'm not going to get too jealous of an AI.
As I stare the AI seems to be proud of her ascetics, and smirks at me.
"Alessandra Sasha Lin Woods it's my pleasure as the academy's AI to welcome you to your home for the next years."
I'm Ciy pronounced as C and I'm a digital copy of one of your distant relatives from a few hundred years ago. It's always a joy to meet family.
