บท 80: It's the Eggs

DDay +17

"Next!"

"Name?" 

"Barry."

"Battalion?" 

"8th Battalion."

"Platoon Number?" 

"Platoon 077."

"Here it says you are an elite soldier?" 

"Yes."

"How old are you again?" 

"I am 16 this year."

"Here are your 10 cans of high-level first stage meat."

Barry received ten canned meats because he had been chosen to be a part of the elite soldiers three days ago. As he had expected, elite soldiers received special treatments. The regular soldiers had only received three portions of canned meat and even the city guards, people who had received earlier training than them, only got five portions.

The Star Base managed its residents this way. In exchange for housing, food and security, everyone had to contribute. If anyone managed to do more than what was required, they would receive extra treatment. And one such example were these ten portions of canned meat.
