Today I am seventeen. Only one year left to prepare for the Military Academy. The year I'm graduation prep school is 2056. In this time we are in war between North Korea and someone else which has been deemed highly classified. I want to know who this other enemy is. That’s why I have decided to help out and join the military. Today is the start of a one year training regime at my prep school. Today I become a soldier.
--The Next Day--
I'm at school right now. We are about to start running our main course. The best time through the obstacles was five minutes. I will beat that today.
Here at the starting line is where I prepare to beat the best time. I hear the starter pistol fire and off I go. I am running the first mile in the course. I have to run this in 2 minutes. I get to the end of the run at 1 minute and 55 second. No time to rest I must keep going. I continue my sprint through the obstacles. I jump the hurdles that are taller than me without a single problem. Up and down through the weaving trees. I hit the end at a time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I have beat the record for the course.
The judges ask to see me alone without everyone so I follow them to where they want me. They have brought me to a meeting room in the back of the facility. There's someone else here but I don’t know who they are. They are wearing what looks like an exoskeleton. The person wearing the suit tells me that he was the original holder of the record for that course. He says he wants me to join a program that goes by the name SSF. He won't tell me what it stands for but he informs me the I will get any answer in a little while if I choose to join.
I tell him that I will join so long as the first thing I learn is what our other enemy is. He says that the enemy that I don’t know about is an alien that they have yet to give a name. The current name for them is Stupid Aliens. We both laugh when he says that and he takes me to his car. However his car isn't really a car. It’s a VTOL jet. It looks awesome.
We hop in and get ready to go. I wonder when I will be able to see my parents again. Even in the prep school we weren't allowed to our parents as they could cause a distraction. By the time I'm not spaced out anymore I realize that we are in space. I asked him why we are in space and he informs me that my training will no longer occur on earth but on a moon base built about two years ago.
I guess that I will no longer know what day of the week or time it is. I assume that my training will take place over a year or two.
When we land we head to a science facility. I see tables with electronics on them and see that some of the tables have doctors who are looking at me at them. I wonder what their thinking about me. I overhere one of them say that I don’t look like a military person. The person I'm with tells me to go over to them and lay down on the table. As I am assuming he is of a entirely higher rank than I am I obey his command.
When he gets over to me he informs me that in order to join the SSF I have to have some electronics inside my human body. Making me a cybernetic organism. I told him so long as I can keep complete control of my body its fine. He laughed and said this isnt to take control of you its to give you more control. You started birth with a tail. Here in the SSF you need that tail to be able to do things that we do. I was startled by the fact that I needed a tail but I went with. They put me on something to make me sleep
