After the orientation seminar, a door opened up on either end of the room. 10 men came out from either end. One group were wearing orange and yellow jumpsuits. They others were sharply dressed and holding clipboards. It was very intimidating. "Here is the staff that will be helping you during this time. All of them are fully qualified to be here and work on all of the MTMs. Say hello to the mechanic and field operator teams, children. They will be the ones helping you when it's time to pilot." Terry sighed. It did not look like they were friendly in the slightest. He was obviously going to have to impress them if he wanted to be among the finalists. The voice that was lording over them was totally uncaring and without emotion as it spoke. A look around the room told Terry that the majority of the gathered teenagers were getting creeped out. "For the next few days, you will be here getting to know one another. Bonding is essential for high Synchronization Rates after all. If anyone has a question for me, just ask it out loud. We will all be watching and waiting for you. The 20 adult men began leaving us.
One of the teens tried to beat the field operators out of the room. "No way am I being stuck here! I'm leaving!" he cried out. One of the men pulled out a gun and shot him in the head. He was killed instantly. People began running and screaming frantically. Some tried going for the exits. They were killed as well. That was another several of the candidates that were now out of the running to be pilots. "Now look what's happened here. Please don't test us going forward. We have no hesitation." the voice said with a small sigh. Terry saw that and nodded his head. 'This is totally insane.' he thought to himself. He was going to sit by himself and keep an eye on the situation. It was not going to be a very bad thing if he observed the competition and got ready to do what was required to him. Terry was used to being a loner. After a few minutes of being idle though, a girl came up to him. She was wearing the same outfit. She had bigger breasts than Terry's were. "Hi there. My name is Kira. Do you want to partner up? Just for a bit?" Kira was looking more than a bit nervous here. Terry nodded his head.
Kira
Kira was putting on a front of being calm and collected. She did not keep eye contact, not that Terry was much better. He was not used to talking to girls. Even though he knew Kira was a NPC, the fact that he was a girl made it hard to relate or know what to say to them. He was able to answer and stay in the conversation though. Now that we were together, we had to discuss important things. "I want to be a Top. How about you?" Terry asked. Kira just shrugged. "I do not care too much either way." she said. Terry nodded and said "Then I'll be the Top." Kira asked if we should get more people in the group. She was 17 years old. That made her technically older than him by a year. As he looked around, he said "Let's split for a bit. We should get some guys in the group for protection. Maybe some younger guys." She raised her eyebrow at me. "Why not a group of girls?" she questioned. "You saw all the wolf whistles. We don't want to be the ones targeted by those pervs. Especially the bigger stronger ones in here. They can actually act on those threats." Kira sighed. "I don't want that." she said.
