(Author's note CB means Colorblindness)

"Wake up #42."

I wake up to see the CB guard standing beside me looking at me with a blank expression. I am not permitted to speak yet.

He than proceeds to list off my information
"You are #42
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Status: Single
L Iris color: Blue
R Iris color: Green
Alias: Mark Retre"

As he finishes talking I realize that there is some information he left out, he must be new.

"I have been asigned to your dormitory because you are almost 17, I expect you know All your information so I wont go into detail about that, since you're of age you will be looking for a partner to help you with your program today, today you start your tests. If you have anyone in mind let me know at any time. We will be spending alot of time together #42."

He looks to be about 18 must have newly graduated, since he is my instructor maybe I should stay on his good side, I look at his chest and see the number says #39 So he must have graduated the center recently before now maybe last year.

"Is it against the rules for you to be my partner?"
I Ask #39
"Its not stated if it is or isnt inside the rule books."

Today is the test to see if I could make it in this world, the most important thing in this world, if I fail both me and my partner get Exiled for 2 months into the wilderness, but with my partner being a CB Guard I'll be safe from being Exiled. I have been studying the rules, I have passed every test so far for months, I wonder how #87 is, She is a girl I met during Gym Training last week, Her name is Andrite, She seemed so nice.

"So today is the C.P.E., The exam that I need my partner for, The one which would determine which branch I join in the Alliance."
I state to my partner
"Indeed I barely passed with mild Red-Green CB" So they sent me to work here"
My partner stated back confidently.
It seems my CB isnt going to be that bad.

There is a strange white haired girl standing at my door when I open it "Oh hi Andrite." I say and the girl seems to smile. "How is your brother Jared doing?" She shrugs as if she doesn't want to say. I walk to the end of the compound hallway. I look back to see #39 following me intently. Than I decide that it's not time to go in yet because I haven't had my food yet that day. Today we are having boiled and compressed potatoes, and roasted steak with a couple of steamed eggs in a bowl of noodles with a hint of garlic and onion powder and a dash of paprika and basil. I go into the cafeteria and grab the plate labeled #42. I inhale and smell the deep smell of basil and steak. My mouth waters like a faucet. "Hey Rifleman!" The leader of the alliance Alexis called for me. "Don't forget to polish your M16"
