Never Expecting This

Chapter 14

The debate ended just as fast as it began. A vote was taken and most agreed that the further regions needed to be handled first. They decided to go in the order of weakest robot to strongest, meaning that Artika was the first location. After the discussion, it was evident to you that Sonic didn't agree with the decision the team had made, since he stayed quiet with a worried expression on his face for the rest of the meeting.

About an hour later, the plans were made that the team would leave for the chilled continent the day after tomorrow. Your friend would not be with you, since she started school the same day. Everyone was released from the meeting, but as you were about to leave, the female leader's voice calling your name caught your attention.

"Before you go, I want to ask you a few questions and give you a few things," she explained. You agreed immediately, and you told your friend in the hall to go home without you.

Sally brought you to a different room in the same wing, but this room had much different interior. The walls were lined with computer screens and other machines. A small tablet similar to Tails' was on the table with other gadgets beside it. The princess took a seat, and you took the seat right beside her.

She gave you various machines, The tablet was a communicator with other functions on it, she gave you a bracelet that would become a tracking device and give the other's your pulse and heart beat if if you were ever hurt (and it matched your outfit), and a small device that you could place on your ear to communicate with on spy missions.

She followed with questions about your childhood, health, and family and placed the information on her own tablet. Afterwards, Sally asked about your skills, accomplishments, education, and weaknesses. She also wanted information on your personality and what you would do in certain situations. The questions took another hour, but you didn't mind.

Finally, the questioning ceased, and Sally gave you some information about herself and the other members. Most of the information was new to you, but some was pretty basic, such as the talents of each member. With the most important tasks out of the way, the conversation became much more cheerful. You discovered that Sally was a very fun person when responsibilities were tossed out the window, and this made you feel relaxed.

"Well, with your skills and abilities," the female began, "I believe you fit in the well-rounded category. This will give us a great advantage, since we will be able to place you on practically any kind of mission. Now, all that's left is to see how you fight."

With that, the testing ended. You shook Sally's hand, and you smiled at eachother. She walked you out of the castle, and you waved good-bye as you strolled your way home.
