2300 Hours September 23rd, 2517 (Military Calendar)
/ Epsilon Eridani System,
Reach Military Complex,
Planet Reach

The last thing Andrea remembered was walking her way back home after school since her school was not that far from her home, it was a nice and sunny day on her home planet of Arcadia. Then she saw an unmarked car comeing up towards her and two men in suits quickly dragged her into the car and sedated. The next thing she knew Andrea was waking up in a cryotube, and saw dozens and dozens of children her age being escorted out by some military men. The children were all led into a large atrium Andrea looked towards the large window overlooking the large room below, and recognized the older woman she met a month ago.

Dr Halsey then spoke to the children in the room. “You have been called upon to serve, you will be trained... and you will become the best we can make of you. You will be the protectors of Earth and all her colonies...” Andrea looked around the lines of children not sure what to think of the whole situation some of the children started talking to one another. "Get some sleep, your training starts in the morning." Dr. Halsey spoke Andrea was led by some of the handlers towards the barracks and then went to one of the beds with the other children some were crying while others stayed quiet. Andrea closed her eyes curling herself into a ball she started thinking of her home tears went down the side of her face and then fell asleep.

A week before her abduction Jessica was fighting with some local boys because they insulted a fellow classmate who was being psychologically abused by his mother. She broke one of their arms another she pushed down a hill towards which was where Halsey was waiting and watching. Halsey was looking at several of the boys for conscription, ultimately settling on the tomboy.

A few days before her abduction Roosevelt or Rosey as his mother referred to him was hiding from his mother at the junk yard. He had set up a bunch of cans all over the place that surrounded a clearing. He took a sling shot and proceeded to shoot them down.

On Reach Jessica saw nothing but competition to prove herself better than and to beat the crap out of. Roosevelt saw salvation from the abuse of his mother. They both noticed each other eventually. They didn't say anything to each other and quickly looked away.

Alexi was sitting in one of the racks, not laying down yet, arms crossed across his stomach as he looked around, a combination of feelings in his mind all arguing for control right now. Fear, panic, hate, despair, and a whole mess of other such emotions. He settled on a low, simmering hate for just about everything around him for now, until it proved needless. He could still clearly remember the group of men in suits that went and stole him right off the street, and he half unconsciously rubbed at the black eye he had ended up with, despite their attempts to bring him in unharmed.

He remembered beaning one with a rock before they got their hands on him, and his flailing struggle probably hadn't helped in him not earning a thump or two. But he had to know why, because whatever the old woman had said didn't help there. Both his parents worked for these people, maybe not directly, so he figured there would have been something there that would have prevented this. Or maybe it was the reason, he didn't know. His parents kept their working life strictly secret from him, despite what little he had found snooping about the house where he wasn't supposed to be.

But all that meant nothing, Alexi decided, he was trapped here now to be some weapon for the very same people his parents were so dedicated to serving. He didn't buy that whole protectors of earth line, way he figured, kids didn't protect anything very well. That did bring some memories that brought a slight smile on his face as he finally fell back on the rack, smile fading faster than it briefly appeared, replaced with sorrow and longing to be back home. Maybe he'd find a way, he would have to keep his eyes open. With that, he passed out, tired considering all that happened thus far already.

Milo was on look out duty again, he was young so no one suspected him even though there was a drug deal going on inside the warehouse behind him. It was old not used to often, and only accessible from one entrance, dealer heaven. He was watching close when he heard a Law Enforcement Pelican come over head, "Son of a-" was all he got out before they dropped through the ceiling in the middle of Milo's street family deals. He ran inside in panic, trying to save his family. Milo saw Gee (pronounced G) being subdued trying to save him Milo charged, only to be beaten by a Humbler Stunner.

As Milo still tried to fight obviously doing no good being only 6 the report eventually made it's way to Halsey, she quickly took him into the project.

Milo awoke in the cryo-tube unsure of what happened but was quickly forced into an atrium where a woman spoke, telling them get some sleep and there's a big day tomorrow. Milo quickly looked around not drawing attention to himself, no easy way out, nothing more really then what was soon to be his new life. During exploration he found two things interesting, the Hangar (the most likely area of escape) an the Vehicle Yard (the second way out), but neither he could get in to, but both now in his mind. He went to the barracks thinking about where Gee and the rest of his family was now.

Lucy:
Her Vision dazed, a cold sharp pain in her chest. From the looks of things she was in some form of tube, the glass in front of her was Covered in ice particles, that with the sleeve of her Medical robe she could wipe away, Lucy could see tubes all around her and Soldiers escorting children Down the hallway. As she gained her bearings there was a Hiss and the front of the tube slide open and the warm air hit her like a punch in the face: She fell to her knees in a coughing fit and started to throw up all over the floor. "W-where am i?" she stammered as she saw a soldier approaching.
"Get up now and move all will be explained in a minute" He grunted. His face covered in scars, She quickly complied being rather frightful of the soldier and certainly not wanting to have to be told twice by him as it could end badly,
All around her there was children get escorted. why were they here? are they prisoners or apart of something greater. Judging by the small puncture wound on her neck she was sedated so her captors needed her alive, and the cryotube suggests that she needed to be transported or kept asleep until she was need.
As she was ushered into a large room she could see an young women possibly in her mid 30's looking out over the gathering of children and wish soldiers surrounded the room as if they were expecting trouble. But judging by everyone's similar height they were all about the same age.

Jackson:
There was a hiss as the door opened in front of him. his eyes rapidly adjusted the the bright blue lighting that lit up the hallway, Kind of like those at hospitals. But how did he get here? the last thing he remembers was walking through the abandoned construction site and having one of the drop ships that his parents often left in before shipping out.
As quickly looked around to see other tubes lining this hallway, he was going to see about freeing some others from these captors but decided to run.
he ran as fast as he could down the hallway, As he looked back he could see two soldiers unholster their weapons and start to chase after him yelling for him to stop. He didn't listen, he wanted to get out of here. he needed too. He sprinted around the corner Straight into a group of soldiers.
"where do you think your going son?!" one yelled As the other two caught up Jackson was really scared and acted as he would in any situation " Where ever your Mom is tonight" What happened next he didn't expect the soldier punched him square in the face and started to punch him in the stomach and didn't stop till his squad mates finally pulled him off
"take this Candidate to the Infirmary after Halsey Has spoke to them.Also put some hand restraint on this one lets not have a repeat of this again. got it Kid?" the soldier stated
Before Jackson could respond he was ushered down the hallway the way he came into a large atrium. he could see the room full of kids his age or there abouts and A woman on a walkway overlooking them all. That must be Halsey he thought, he glanced up to the that his escort was still there and that his restraints weren't coming of anytimes soon.
He could now feel the effects of the punches he had received and now was in agony

"C'mon all of you wake up your training starts today!" Yelled a man, Andrea quickly took her covers and brought them over her head, only to suddenly getting a very painful shock to her back causing Andrea to roll off of the bed. "No more sleeping!" Yelled the solider that had just shocked her and did it again, the young girl quickly got up going towards the edge of her bed, that's where she noticed a trunk at the end of her bed.

Andrea's eyes went towards the man at the entrance of the room who looked much older then the other soldiers in the room she noticed the various medals attached to his uniform and a name tag on it. "Chief Petty Officer Mendez" Once all of the children were out of their bunks those who weren't got a shock then the man spoke. "Today we will start your training, he went to one of the trunks at the end of one of the kids beds and simply kicked open the lid revealing a dark green shirt and a pair of pants revealing the kids name and a few numbers on the shirt. "These will be your uniforms, and you will be required to wear them at all times. Now get dressed you have ten minutes and meet me out in the field." Andrea went to her trunk and opened it revealing the same shirt seeing. "Andrea-150" on it she took off the clothes that she had on her back and slips the uniform on and headed outside.

Milo woke to the sound of the yelling, out of reaction he called out "Shut the hell up!" as he rolled out of bed. As soon as his feet hit the floor, a Humbler Stunner hit his face. Unprepared Milo quickly woke up at the moment, he wanted to start a fight, but some guy began talking about it being time to train, and to throw on uniforms from a trunk. "Milo-155" was beaming off of his.

Lucy had barely slept, She was too on edge for it, Knowing that they were trapped here, possibly for life to become Soldiers of earth..whatever that meant. Her Room was bare par from the Cot a Desk and a trunk. Inside there was a uniform with the Name Lucy 217 on the back and a strange symbol that she had never seen before, Seen as she was only in a medical robe she decided that she might as well put them on, and save time later for whatever the first day of her Captivity held. A Stirn and decorated Soldier entered the barracks and addressed all those whom Lucy shared a room with. He told them to meet him on the field in ten. Be it that she was already dressed she thought she might as well just head out and waited on the field.

Jackson-349

Jackson had been laid in the infirmary all night, he was alone par from the armed guard opposite him and he was sure there was at least two others outside the door. The Doctor said there was no serious Injuries just badly bruised and a cut lip. He was given a sedative to "help" Him sleep, though he knew that was more of a ruse so he wouldn't sneak out during the night.
As he awoke he saw A Pair of boots and uniform on a chair beside him. "Get dressed and follow me Cadet. Chief Petty Officer Mendez Wants you to join the rest of your intake group for your first days training. A word of caution though. Your little stunt you pulled yesterday hasn't gone down well the the CPO"

With that Jackson quickly got dressed and followed the guard to the field where he could see Other kids waiting in line. The soldier gave him a nod and he stood to attention with the rest of the kids that was already lined up. with a man who he guessed was Chief Petty Officer Mendez

Alexi didn't sleep well, understandable considering the situation they had all found themselves in. So when they had some decorated CPO, his parents had described such things in nostalgia and respect, came storming in, rousing them and those who weren't fast enough getting a shock, he didn't see how they could like that kind of person. He lingered too long, getting a shock and unceremonious toss out of his rack. He would have swung right then and there, if it wasn't for the fact that the guy had that stun stick and this man, who was probably the head of their training, was watching. Later, maybe when they weren't looking. His mood had gone from depressed and shocked to angry, but he didn't have much room to wriggle, so he grabbed his uniform. stamped with a stark 'Alexi-192', and threw it on before making a swift exit of the tent. The others that had beat him out were already at attention, and he followed suit. Not like he had much alternative anyways.

Last night Roosevelt slept like a baby. He has never slept more than six hours a night since he was four. He was up before they came for him but he was still in bed. After the wake up call he put on his uniform and headed out.

Jessica didn't like the bed, it was too soft. She tossed & turned most of the night. When the soldier came in she jumped out of bed. She liked the uniform it was much more to her tastes than those stupid dresses her mother bought her. After admiring her uniform she headed out.
