When I exit the room, I am given what they call a "transporter pad". It is a small little tablet with social features, and the option to transport to anywhere on the, I guess you would call it "campus". I select the transport option. Three boxes come up: Living Quarters, Training Room, and Classrooms.
I tap the Living Quarters button. I dissolve and reappear in a room with a bunk bed, a bookshelf, two desks, a couch, a TV, and a door leading off to the left which is probably the bathroom. The walls are white, and the floors are blue.
"Hey, Spark." I hear a voice from the top bunk.
I jerk my head up to see a girl in a green suit laying on the bed. She must be a Natural. She jumps down from the bed. I can now see her whole body. She looks about my age, maybe a little older, she has blond hair, and blue eyes. She is beautiful.
Her eyes get wide when she sees me.
"Oh my gosh. You're the new Spark that grabbed the lightning out of the cloud." she says in astonishment.
"How do you know about that?" I ask.
"Its all over the Network." She pulls out her Transporter Pad and selects the social option. There are a bunch of articles on her screen and the biggest one is titled "New Spark Summons Cloud on First Day of Training." There is a picture of me gabbing the lightning bolt from the cloud.
"So, Spark. How did you do it?" she asks me.
"Do what? Don't most people pull lightning out of clouds on their first day?"
"NO! You are the first ever!" she exclaims, clearly awestruck.
"Evan." I say extending my hand.
There is a beep and she looks at her Transporter Pad. "Oh, gotta go to training." She pushes a button and she is gone.
