Year 3828 — COSMIC Headquarters — Section Meden

Over the centuries, humanity expanded its knowledge of the universe. As technology evolved, so did humanity. New beings formed from Earth. Humans evolved along with the animals.

There were no such things as aliens, other than the new races of humans that existed on the planets that were discovered.

For example, humans on one planet were known for their strength. Other planets had humans that evolved to have features of animals. And more had cyber humans.

Along with the discovery of different humans, a mutation occurred around nine hundred years ago, one that altered the idea of what a human truly was.

New generations began forming with this mutation that gave them different abilities. These special abilities were called a Helix.

A Helix gave humanity the ability to further explore the edges of the universe. However, not all Helix users utilized their powers for the benefit of humanity.

Some chose to abuse their gifts, threatening the lives of others.

For this reason, COSMIC was created, the Coalition of Space Military Intelligence and Command. Soldiers that created order throughout the universe, setting the balance between chaos.

The cosmos was separated into eight sections to better control and navigate the great expanse.

The sections are split from north to south with Unus, Dyo, Tria, Quattor in the north and Pente, Exi, Epta, and Okto in the south. Section Meden is the smallest area which is located at the center of the explored universe giving it grounding for further explorations.

COSMIC Headquarters is located in Section Meden, where all operations come from. After being rescued by General Lyris Vail, Astraea was brought to COSMIC where she grew up.

The sound of her combat boots hitting the metal floors echoed as Astraea walked down the hall. Taking a right she entered a large room, bustling with soldiers dressed in the same attire as her.

Smooth white fitted tops covered in a lightweight black breastplate, accompanied by simple smooth black cargo pants.

The room was laid out with tables where the soldiers, known as Strikers, were eating their lunches. To the side of the cafeteria was a large metal panel with a rectangular opening.

A line of black and white stood behind it. Astraea watched as a male soldier pressed a button on top of the panel and a white box appeared from the opening.

"Rae!" A shout called her nickname, causing her to turn to see a girl sitting at a nearby table. "I already got your food." The girl raised a white box from its handle.

"Thanks, El." Astraea said, approaching the dark gray table.

El or Elestren Voiden had shoulder length dark black hair with soft red highlights. To Astraea, it perfectly matched her personality. It was intimidating and let people know not to mess with her.

"So what did you do this morning? You weren't in the room." El's brown eyes scanned the girl in front of her as she sat down.

"I had an errand to run for Lyris," Astraea lies.

But El didn't buy it. "You know I can see right through you, right?"

Elestren was twenty-three years old just like Astraea. The two met at the COSMIC Headquarters when they were thirteen and have been friends ever since.

Astraea was unsure of her at first. Elestren wasn't one to talk if she didn't need to but when she did, she would bite back.

Astraea admired her courage which is why the two became friends. The reason Elestren was so hard driven was because her mother was a Sergeant Major in Section Tria.
