Proxima Terra

Ride together, die together

Meeting about mission took place on Deck One. We didn't discuss much about tomorrows leave because Riley,Draco and I took more than dozen missions to Earth. Only difference this time is that we have new project, which seems simple enough. Entering Red Zone, observing without interaction with wolves then coming back to Elbys. This time we're bringing Scientist with us to make notes about behaviors of wolves. I think her name is Cleo but I'm not sure, didn't pay much attention to small talk after we discussed our plans.

It's surprising they're sending Scientist with us. Watchers are expendable, there has been more accidents than I can count in which Watchers have died. On the other hand Scientist are precious, Grand Council has spent time and effort to train them to be what they are. Not that we interact with them much, naturally they think they're better than us.

Every time before mission we went to canteen for couple of drinks. Mostly that time is spent in silence. I think that's because we knew what danger we're getting into so we're thinking about our life until that moment realizing it can be taken in second and soon you're forgotten like you didn't even exist.

Draco would always fool around pretending that he doesn't care, but he just didn't want to admit. I guess I understand that.

"So are we just going to sit here like old dudes and do nothing or make fun of it while we still can?"- Draco asked rising his brows while circling his finger around glass filled with whiskey.

"What's wrong with just sitting in silence and drinking?"- Riley answered with smirk on his face.

"Well, you enjoy yourself missing best time of your life but I'm going to have some fun with that lady at the bar." Draco announced winking and raising his glass at the girl.

"Have fun. I think I'm calling it a night. Riley you're going or staying?" Bastien asked while getting up.

"I think I'll stay little longer, just to see Draco getting turned down."

"Haha, suit yourself. See you in the morning."

Lights were out when I returned to the apartment, guess Aurora went to sleep and dad didn't come yet. I turned the lights in my room seeing note awaiting me on the bed. I picked it up and opened it: " Delusion is part of either dreaming or not wanting to realize the truth. Be careful what you stand for. It's not what you think it is."

Who would leave me this? There's no name,nothing. Just written on back of teared article about mutation of gens and there was an unusual symbol at the corner.

I don't have time to think about this now I need sleep after exhausting day. Tomorrow before we leave I'll ask Draco just in case.

I striped down just in boxers and throw myself on the bed. Tuning out thoughts and slowly falling into sleep.
