"Sounds like a good plan, Alex. I like it." She said with a smile. "It's good to meet you both.
She listened to Joshua go through his list of hobbies and couldn't help but find his voice amusing. She laughed a little before answering. "Those are all fun, but I just like winning. No matter what the game." Raevynn replied, rubbing at her eyes again.
"Maybe we should get a bunk before the other kids take all the good ones." She suggested
He saw that he kids began to quickly fill up after they heard him call top, he saw one bunk it looked extra confortable it looked as if it was an air mattress, room for two almost apparently though it was on the other side of the room and must have been left, one kid started running after it, and wise smiled and ran his hardest for the bed, he juked and spin through the mob of kids running around and made it to the bed before the other kid had a chance of touching it.
"ha ha I get the good bed."
"Ooh. He's good." Raevynn said with a laugh. She scrunched up her nose in mock anger as she made her way to an open bunk next to alex's. She leapt into the lower bed, too tired to climb her way to the top bunk.
The matress was hard and the pillows; not as fluffy as she would have normally hoped for. Nonetheless, she was so tired that it was the most comfortable bed she had ever been in.
Raevynn pulled the cold sheets over her body and hugged the pillow.
"Goodnight." She said softly to no one in particular.

After the angry boy came another darker colored boy was gently shoved into the room. He seemed like he was still recovering from the sleep.
))Is this me? I certaintly hope so.((
Rayden blinked at the seemingly bright light, and hacked out the liquid that was in his lungs. As his vision started to come back to him he looked around at his surroundings.
"How did I get here? Were is here?"
From the sound of the engine, and the look of the interior, Rayden guessed that he was in the back compartment of a standard military issue D77-TC Pelican Dropship. Obviously he had just emerged from a deep sleep that was the result of a cryozination chamber. That would explain the liquid in his lungs that he was couging up.
A gruff looking man wearing the standard UNSC military uniform strode into the room, gazing at raydem for a few seconds before roughly grabbing him and hauling him to his feet.
"Glad your awake 077! We will be landing soon. Get dressed, and hold your questions until we land." Was all the man said before leaving the room.
Rayden rubbed his eyes, having barely heard what the man had said. He tried to remember how he had gotten aboard the Pelican in the first place. As he let his mind wander back in time he felt the memories come back to him in a flash.
He had been playing one of his favourite RTS games, though for some reason he couldn't remember which one it was. But he knew that he had been playing it when their had been a knock on the door. His parents weren't at him, so he opened the door himself. He opened the door and...
Nothing. That's all he remembered. It didn't matter though. What had happened, had happened. Besides, he was with the UNSC, and they wouldn't let anything happen to him. He would probably be returned to his parents in a week.
Rayden put on his clothes and sat down against the wall, he fished around in his pocket, hoping to find sucess, and lo and behold. He pulled the holopad out of his pants pocket and checked the disk slot, one of his many RTS's was still in it. Apparently, their was a god.
Rayden played it for about a whoel twenty minutes before beating the game again and growing bored of it. He thumbed off the holopad than slumped against the wall. He still felt extremely tired...
Rayden closed his eyes and dozed off once again into a deep sleep.
******
Rayden awoke with a start from a jab in the ribs. His eyes fluttered open to see the same gruff face of the man he had met earlier.
"C'mon, we're hear! Time to wake up son!" The man yelled, spittle flying into Raydens face. Rayden got up slowly and painfully, not wanting to get on the badside of the man, and staggered down the ramp. He didn't remember much of the walk, other than a few other soldiers walking past, and what looked like scientists eyeing him thoughtfully.
Finally Rayden and the man stopped outside of a large room, Rayden's eyes fluttered a second, allowing him to see several other children his age in the room. He staggered into the room and nearly fell from the shove he recieved to make him move faster. Rayden sat down on his knees in the near back of the crowd of kids, towering over most of them. As he struggled to stay awake, a pale lady wearing glasses stepped up to a podium in the front of the room. Rayden mostly ignored what she said, losing the battle to stay counscious. The kast thig he heard before falling backwards was something about them becoming Spartans. Weren't the Spartans an elite group of Greek soldiers?...
******
Rayden awoke with a start again a few minutes later. He managed to get up by himself without the help of the officers and followed the rest of the kids. he felt his pocket, and sighed in relief when he realized he still had his holopad.
The officer led the group of kids into a large babin like room with Bunk beds at one end of the room, and showers at the other. He told them that this was their quarters, than left the room.
As soon as the officer left immediate hell broke loose. Kid's scrambled here and their trying to get certain beds, while others just cried or had tantrums. Rayden noted one of the looking especially pissed. A girl walked up to him, and said something to him, calming him down. Soon afterwards a third kid joined up with the duo.
Rayden stood in the middle of the room with an amused look on his face as Kids scrambled everywere. When the commotion finally calmed down Rayden strode over to the vacant bunk left over and flopped down on it. He pulled out his holopad and started tinkering with it, though in actuality he was eavsdropping on the three fellows from earlier. They all introduced themselves as Alex, Joshua, and Raevyyn, though Rayden couldn't spell the last one in his mind if his life depended on it.
Rayden smiled into his holopad's view screen. He would remember their names and appearences, they seemed like nice people. But in the meantime, he had more pressing thing to do.
Rayden tinkered with his holopad again, trying to find some form of a holonet. Not finding any he decided to screw around with the complex's firewalls. He hacked his way through the 2nd level of the firewall before an AI appeared and manually shut down his holopad. Meh, he would override the shutdown code in the morning. Rayden cut a small hole in the matress and slid the holopad into it, than he went to sleep...
))Well, I'm caught up. Can you say "super post"?((
Camilla watched as the doors closed before her. Many children were crying but she just ran to a bed and jumped on it once and lay down on it. She looked up and could see the underside of the bed on top of hers. She was just thinking of the huge ship she had seen. Some kids even looked at her funny since she wasn't crying nor was she smiling she was only thinking about what happened but she didn't understand it all after all she was only a girl. But she was curious to know what was going to happen next.

(actually she meant me but 😐 that post pretty much covers the entire 5 pages of talking with that one post clap and probably the longet post ever)
After finally giving up on moving hte bed he kicked it down infront of the door, and went straight to sleep, th bed had so much air in it he couldn't even bounce off of it when he jumped on it but, it prooved more comfortable than the others looked.
*Jacob was sitting at the table at 4:00 AM just having finished breakfest. his father was sitting on his right and his mother to his left. It was a typical weekday on Atinmar and Father was getting ready to go to work but as always before he did he asked us to take hands and bow our heads.*
Father: " Lord we thank you for keeping us together and keeping us safe. May you watch after us this day and give us the strength to do what we must this day. In your name we pray"
Everyone: "Amen"
*With that Father got up grabbed his mining helmet and kissed me on the head and walked out the door. Mother grabbed the dishes and put them in the sink. Then turned towards me and said have a good day. Then she handed me my sack and I took off towards school walking down the long corridors. It was a normal day as usual.*
************
*School came easy for Jacob half of it was he was smart the other half was because he could see the answers on Miss Williams agenda. He had been accused of cheating when he was sitting up front which he was but now that he was sitting in the back they couldn't do it anymore even though he could still see that answer key from all the way back. After school school Jacob had exactly one hour before he had to go work in the junk yard so as always he went to the terrace. There were nine of them on the station the only "open" place on the station. Basicaly it was amarket place some 40 miles long. With all kinds of building and stuff to play on. He ran to the terrace with the other kids but as soon as he got inside the other kids wen one way he the other. He didn't belong with them they all looked down on him. Jacob's father had spent a good portion of his earning to send Jacob to the private teaching that was noramlly for the managers and engineer's kids. Jacob to those kids was nothing more than a dirt poor kid that was to smelly to play with. He was fine with it though truth be he enjoyed playing by himselfand having nothing but his thoughts to keep him company. Jacob picked up a pebble and threw it at the first sign he could see that was 50 yards away and as always he hit the dead center of the O in Ogon's Market.*
************
*He started heading down a back alley to go play in the junk yard when out of no where a couplr of big men stepped out of the sahadows and grabbed him.
Jacob remembers the needle in his arm and everything from there is one big blur.
By the time everything was done he was awake on a bed looking around and seeing other kids his age. He had no idea what was going but he realized it was night and Father would be upsey if he didn't pray.
So got down on the side and began to pray.*
[]A perfect recap ^_^ []
Raevynn had fallen asleep as soon as her face hit the uncomfortable pillow. As she slept, she dreamt of her home on earth, and her parent's faces. She felt as if she was still in her own bed.
The next morning Raevynn awoke to the sound of a man's rough voice yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Rise and shine boy's and girl's! It's 0400 hours(4:00 in the morning for those who don't know miltary time) and time to start training."
Raevynn groaned and sluggishly rolled over in her cot, too tired to get herself up.
