War On Peace

Chapter 5

I woke up in my bed, I share a bunk with Zero. Jo and Max also share, leaving the single for Zed. We have our own personal shower and bathroom in our room. There are shelves with enough room for each of us. We are being spoiled compared to what we had in unit C.

I get up and go to take a shower, the water is soothing to my ears. I use it to escape the thoughts about what I will have to do for these people, for my planet. I no longer question them, probably from the pills they make us take with our hot served breakfasts.

"Sam, the doctor is looking for you," Jo says as she walks into the bathroom. She's wearing only a white bra and black shorts and her hair is pulled up into a bun. "Hey before you go off, In case we don't meet again. I'd definitely smash if we weren't going to war." She winked at me then got ready to steal the shower.

I quickly throw on a white t and black jeans. What the actual.... I don't want to know that, now it will be stuck in my mind. I mean, Jo is good looking, but that's not the point. I need to focus on my mission.

"Ah, I see you are ready." The doc says, pulling me from my thoughts. "We are going to my lab, when we get there I will explain more. Since you are Squad Leader, naturally you go through everything first."

I follow the doctor to her lab, quietly thinking to myself while she rambled on about something I probably should be listening too, however, my mind is still distracted.

"Here we are." She smiles. "See those weights? Can you go stand by them while I prepare?" I go stand by them now curious to what we are doing here. "So, I'm going to hook up a bunch of wires to you that will monitor your body while you lift those." She looks at the weights. She awkwardly starts putting the monitors on me then tells me to start and stop when she says. After the test, she takes a few notes. "So I have a few questions for you, for records."

"Okay," I say. "Shoot away."

"Alright," the doctor smiles. "Have you received intercourse since you've been released?"

"Er.... what does that have to do with the enhancements?"

"Just yes or no." She begins to look embarrassed. "We can't do the procedures if you are pregnant or think you may be."

"Oh okay, no."

"Have you broken any bones or possibly fractured any."

"I may have when Zed beat the shit out of me, but I was able to get up and walk so I was..."

"That's all I need to know." She interrupts. "Thank you for your time, give Jo a heads up that she will be next. Someone will be around to get her in about an hour."

They have other squads from different units who they are examining at the same time. They always do the females first, but rarely they get more than five females, so even rarer that they get more than one from one section. The test is to record the natural strength of the pupils before the strength enhancement is done.

I make my way back to my room, we don't really leave there. it feels like we are on lockdown till enhancements are completed. We get an hour to stay fit, but other than that we get to do pretty much whatever. I wonder how Jasper and Raven are, I haven't got to talk to them since I was moved here.

"Hey, jo you're next," I say as I walk in the room seeing her first. They are playing a game and she's facing the door.

"Okay. Want to take my spot then?" She asks thinking they want her now.

"Eh, no thanks. They will send someone to get you in an hour or so." I shrug then go sit on my bed. "Where's Zed?" He is the only one not in our room.
