Chapter Eleven: Getting Used To

Few Days Later-Office of Navel Intelligence Medical Facility, Orbit of Planet Reach 2525 0000 Hours~Toria P.O.V~

It was hard after augmentation...not just moving our bodies but actually watching our fallen friends...our brothers and sisters. Get launched into space. It was hard not to let at least one tear out. Spartans can't cry.

After Chief Mendez gave his speech. They wheeled the disabled away, that's when John asked where they were taking his men. "This is going to be hard on him." James stated looking at John.

"I think it will be with all of us." Rebeka said walking away. "Going to go snipe."

I looked at the others raising an eyebrow. "Where you guys going?"

"Gym." Jake and Daniel said at the same time.

"You?" I asked James.

He shrugged. "Probably with them."

I looked around watching everyone split up and went to other places. "I'll go with you guys." I said following them to the gym.

"Can't believe that they are gone. They should have died in battle..." Daniel whispered but loud enough for us to hear.

I looked over at him frowning. "Daniel people die naturally too." I said looking at him sadly.

He glared at me. "Toria but it wasn't."

That ripped my heart. It's true. It was over chemicals and surgeries. I didn't say anything and just walked to the locker room. Going to my number, 879, I unbutton my uniform, my uniform pants, and took off my hat placing it in my locker. I just had my sports bra on, and out shorts on. Getting my black tennie shoes on.

Walking out to the gym. When I got there it didn't even seem like it took me a second. It usually took me little longer to arrive here. I looked around again to see James in the boxing ring fighting with Daniel.

I just smiled and looked at the weights with Jake lifting some. I couldn't decide either weights or go hit a punching bag. I decided to go punch some punching bags.

When I started it was like my body was faster than my brain. Which was very hard to actually do. That's what Dr. Halsey told us too, that we have to get used to this new 'body.'

The punch bag was getting slower and slower. I started to get faster and faster, hearing the chain slower and slower. Finally the punching bag started to have tears in it.

I stopped and noticed that I actually wasn't sweating nor panting. I cracked my knuckles than just looked at James and Daniel fighting. Daniel was doing fine but James was obviously the one winning. Yes Daniel has the smarts but James was stronger.

"Come on Daniel, you can do better then that." James teased.

Daniel got up wiping his mouth from either drool or blood. He snickered, frowned, than chuckled. I was shocked there was no smartass comments.

Daniel run at him before reaching him he rolled on the ground than punching him in the stomach. "Yeah I can just needed to see how you moved." He chuckled standing up.

James tripped Daniel and elbowed him in the chest while falling down. "If you do know how I move, maybe you should have seen that coming." He chuckled having his hand down to help Daniel up.

Daniel looked at his hand and smiled, grabbing his forearm. James helped him up. "True true. I will learn." He mumbled.

James patted his shoulder. "These bodies are getting used to."

I laughed and they all turned to me. "You make it sound like we are inside some else's body. Which is impossible, because our brains wouldn't be able to handle it. The press..."

"Yeah yeah we get it," Jake said waving his hand. "Pressure against the skull when transferring."

I smiled. "Not liking my facts?"

He chuckled. "No I am not."

James hopped out of the boxing ring. "Well I still think it could be possible, I mean if you think about it. We finally got into space. I believe that ONI can actually figure out of how to transfer bodies."

I shrugged my shoulder than used my hand to show the 'so so' '50/50 chance' signal. "It could be possible yes. But no still because right when you cut the brain out, it could kill the patient."

James nodded his head. "True good point."

"And how would they reattach it?" I asked.

"You can't it would be hard to 're-wire' the brain." Daniel said jumping out also.

I pointed at him raising my eyebrows. "Exactly! It's like a car but...more complex."

Daniel looked at me with a weird expression. "Uh yeah because you can transfer the engine or battery without a problem."

"This is too much." Jake turned and started to do weights.

I chuckled. "Oh come on you have the same intelligence as we do." I pointed at Daniel than me.

"Eh." He said and kept going.

"Well I think tha..." James was about to say until Chief Mendez came over the inter com.

"Orange Team come to debriefing room immediately." I turned my head fast to James raising an eyebrow.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "That can't be good. Hurry move out."
