Highly Classified

The initiation of solo fighters into the Fighters Of the World Legion (F.O.W.L) has been a source of great controversy and argument since the organisation's establishment in the year ***BC. Potential candidates are found with the help of the ********** which is an ancient artifact said to be used by the Maya in the choosing of priests. The artifact is supposed to be able to detect men or women with a natural connection to the supernatural. Once a candidate is found, parents are then notified of the desire of the organization to admit the child for *************. If parents agree, children are trained in various arts such as

until the age of sixteen, when they are allowed the chance to continue to be a solo fighter, become a group fighter or quit the entire program all together. Candidates who agree to join as a solo fighter will then have to join by releasing all connection to their former lives by staging an elaborate and detailed death and funeral. Methods of deceiving the family of candidates' death have not been added to this document, in case of the rare chance of infiltration.

Aquina was walked through the dining hall which was in its usual busy state of familiar noise. Only the groupies ate most of their meals here; solos kept to themselves, it was easier that way. Aquina was uncomfortable sitting by herself to eat a meal in a place where everyone else was with their friends or team mates. Some solos sat with the groupies once in a while, but that was a sure fire step to quitting. And Aquina was not quitting.

The dining hall looked the same as every other room in organization; cold, dark, metallic, huge...lonely.

'It's only been three years!' Aquina chided herself, 'No giving up now.'

She opened the door to the large carpeted Directors Hall, where lines of doors were on each side and a large impressive oaken door just before her. A giant hologram of a handsome head with thick black hair and dark serious eyes looked at her from the middle of the hall.

"I'm here to give an oral report." Aquina said to the hologram.

"State your name, position and who you desire to see." The head replied.

"I'm solo fighter Beto, here to see director Gary Freeds. He's expecting me."

"Processing information," the hologram said, "running body, voice and face recognition...Access granted."

And a door next to the large one at the end opened up.

"Proceed."

"Thank you, disembodied handsome head." Aquina replied to the hologram and walked into the room.

It was a small, typical office room with no windows, a desk, a book case and a giant screen that covered the entire wall behind the desk. A tall man with slicked back dark hair greying at the temples and intelligent blue eyes behind spectacles was standing behind the desk at staring at the blank screen, a remote in his hand.
