Former United States of America…
The American Empire-controlled state of New Texas…
Seventeen hundred Kilometres north of the quarantined-zone of Old Texas…
Fort Adrian; the largest military installation on the western seafront, host site to paranormal research and development and centre location of the -A-P-R-D-
Day one, 06:40 hours…
The old truck lurched into the next gear to bring the near-wrecked vehicle over the rise, bringing the fort into view; It dominated the horizon and blocked the rising sun, casting a glowing silhouette over the field. Airborne vehicles and gun-ships patrolled the surrounding area while a horde of clanking-tracked tanks followed suit. Three of the VTOL-Helicopters moved in and scanned the inbound convoy of trucks before moving in as an escort. There were seven trucks in all, mainly fresh troops and supplies being shipped in open-topped vehicles, but the leading vehicle’s canopy was shrouding it’s contents. The soldiers in the other vehicles tried to imagine what could be in the mysterious transport as it wasn’t marked the same as the standard military vehicles, the paint-work was mottled a matt-grey…
As the convoy neared the immense gate their escorts trailed off, leaving the trucks at the mercy of the maw that was the armored-steel door that creaked and moaned as the servo-motors went to work. The shouts over PA systems and mega-phones portrayed a very organized atmosphere, as a major staging-point for the Empire’s war-efforts; Fort Adrian was on alert and call throughout the day and night.
The Supply truck and the transports moved off to the barracks, the ominously-grey trucks pulled into a warehouse-Hangar on the opposing side from the main facility, the buildings around and near the Steel-hangar were marked with bold black letters…
_-A-P-R-D-_
A squeal behind the vehicle announced the sliding doors were closed and they were in privacy from the main facility.
The canopy of the truck was drawn back by soldiers dressed in a similar fashion as the truck’s main color, the site’s logo emblazoned on their uniforms.
Inside the tray, a group of children were herded out and ordered into a line facing four menacing-looking individuals wearing the uniform of the site.
From left to right; A weathered-face that looked as if it had endured the entire war scowled at the children with malicious intent, he emanated raw-power that almost made him glow. Next along, a pre-middle-aged woman with a disfiguring scar that ran down the right side of her face, leaving a sunken-white eye in the socket.
The last two, however, didn’t seem to fit in with the others; they both wore the same uniform but their grey coats were tied around their wastes revealing black tees underneath, the first was a portly man in his latter-years, his gut was overshadowing his trousers and he had the appearance of a heavy drinker. Alongside him stood a beauteously-short young woman who looked in her late teens, she had short black hair and her eyes seemed to wander, not being able to focus on one thing at any given moment.
The oldest man was the first to speak, his tone was of a well-tutored military man who knew nothing but the army in his life, his voice was laced heavily with a Celtic accent, “I am Colonel Joch McIntyre, you may call meh Master McIntyre… I won’t welcome you ‘ere because I know ya’ don’t want to be, ye’ are here however because you are no longer welcomed by your own family or your family did’na’ have what it takes to survive in this day n’ age!”
“Colonel Ashley Alanna Jacobs, but if you call me anything other than Master Ash, I’ll kill you!” the gruff-scarred woman announced politely and simply.
“Colonel Damian Cormack, this is my apprentice, Michelle… Master, Sir or even Mister Cormack is acceptable…” his fellow Colonels glared at him.
Now that they were introduced, the children were herded with further information into the Dormitories and locked in for the day, the trainers would start with them tomorrow…
Every room had accommodations for two students each and being locked in meant that they were to sort themselves out. The room on the end of the corridor belonged to the strange apprentice they saw before, her door was wide open and she was hovering slightly from the ground, deep in meditation…
(I have a big plan for this RP, for now, just meet and greet eachother and get used to the dorms, I’ll post the next hours/days/weeks…)

Drake Just sat there in his room thinking about Killing the old man that brought him there....He then thought of what Master Ash had said ...Quote: “Colonel Ashley Alanna Jacobs, but if you call me anything other than Master Ash, I’ll kill you!”
He could only smile after that, thinking of ways he could Make the woman mad.

John saw Drake smiling. While John had no reason to smile, he figured that if Drake was happy, maybe he could make him happy, so he walked over to Drake and said, "Hey."
"Oh, I see." John now pauses for a second, thinking that he should he change the conversation because he might've brought up painful thoughts in Drake by asking him the last question.
Jian watched the girl walk to the corner without a word, sighing ever so slightly he walked to one of the beds and sat on it claiming it as his own. Moving to the center of the bed he yawned a little and stretched.
Slight muttering emanated from the end room, the Apprentice fell to the floor with a thump as sleep over-took her, still muttering unintelligible things as she lay sideways on the stiff carpet. Michelle twitched in her sleep, every-single furnishing in the room including the ones in the next room along shuddered in sync, causing the others to jump.

Drake then entered the Room only to find Michelle Laying on the Ground twitching as things in the room were shaking.
The Now Very confused Drake Patted the Girl with his hand Trying to wake Her.
Michelle jumped up as the boy touched her and poor Drake was Telekinetically hurled out the doorway before it slammed shut behind him. It was obvious that she didn't like company...

[Lex did not know what was going on he was kidnapped and did not know what was going to happen to him.The blind kid sat in the corner holding his knees to his chest.Many thoughts went in and out his mind would he be tortured and never see his brother again or even worsted would he be killed.Then he thought of the movie Saw could this be like that He laughed and tried to push the notion out his mind.Lex used the Wall to stand he would have to explore this strange place and try to find a way out.Then he heard a door slam shut he would try to and find the source of the noise maybe then he would be able to get answers.Lex slowly fallowed the walls until he came to rows of doors he knocked on the door after door to see if someone would answer.then he came to the room of Michelle and knocked on the door and started to wait as he did with their others.]
