"Were we just born to kill people?" A female voice asks as bullets dance past my head.

Explosions scar the land as buildings buckle under the weight of blood and distant dreams. My ear rings as the explosions shake the ground. The screams of the people went silent with each tremor. A blast rings in my ear and the air smells of sulfur as a PL-01 canister rolls past me on the battlefield. The sound of missiles shearing away their target was as constant as my heartbeat. Was I just here to kill? I look up and see a RAH-66 Attack helicopter fly overhead as the sand whips at my face.

"Yeah I'll be fine man." I retorted.

"Alright man, well I'll see you later." He said and walked off.

I sighed and looked at my computer screen and my surrounding desk stacked with paperwork and forums.

My name is Christopher, I am an American born down south and spent the rest of it so far living up North. I work for Chaldea Security Organization in the year 2023, a mysterious organization that as far as the US government and the rest of the world was concerned, did not exist. I worked as Defense contractor and Security Personal. The funny thing is I spent Four years getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but after working here a few years I now have saying "I have a major in Engineering and Masters in shooting things." I still don't even know why I was hired......
