"Begin V.S. Testing."

My thoughts were my own, my thoughts had kept me to myself all these years. I don't need to share any thoughts with anyone I just need to pass this trail to make it closer to my goal. My goal. I forgot was is my goal. A Norma life? Piloting Vraves? Ivan? Short burst exploded in my ears they sounded distant. They creeped up towards me get louder and louder. Steady gun shots going off. A beat steadier than my heart. Bang. Bang. Bang. Being a the mercy of a killer who laughs at the thought of death. What kind of people are they what's goes through their head.
Besides the bullet I'll put through yours, Ivan Berlioz.
"Ma'am, we have a little issue." An analysis called our reporting the issue.
Angie took notice to the works calling for her, standing directly behind the analysis. Angie starred at lines that were wavelength of each pilot during the Vraves Sync Testing. As each pilots sync were steady waves with a constant flow up and down. Angie had took notice to one Alter pilot whose sync level's were sporadic, "I see. Send him to my office afterwards. For now resume the test." Angie leaned closer to ear shot, "keep an eye on him personally. If anything were to happen fluctuate the results in the mean time."
"Understood ma'am."

"So sync stuff is super easy. They say these Skell suits are suppose to help aye?" Carmen questioned her thoughts looking over her Skell suit from observer perspective. I couldn't understand her since she had a heavy Scottish accent.
The five of us had our own personal lockers that was kept separate from the rest of the Demois building. Though the reason of having co-Ed locker room was beyond maybe it was only for this area we are part of this program after all, not that I'm freaking out about it, the women's locker were on the other side of the room. The only thing separating us was a thin piece of wood practically cutting the room in half.
Storing away my suit on a simple hanger, internally I'm discouraged. I nearly failed the sync test scoring the bear minimum to even operate a Vrave. While everyone else seemed like clearing their head was like second nature to them. Are they slow or something?
I pulled out my backpack setting it in the bench behind me before closing up my locker, "you seem more down then my nephew losing the mini league game." Tommy openly joked, but why compare me to a little kid? His appearance was to well timed, "we each saw each others V.S. scores no need to be y'know mopey. Here have a snickers."
Candy? Was I really a kid to him? I looked at Tommy with dead fish eyes. Again he laughed it off holding my hand forcing me to take the snickers.
"how did a bloke like you manage to get into the Alter program? Was it by chance or some strings attached? I never seen scores that low and they still decided to keep ya." Good first impressions. I should just shrug this off like it doesn't even matter, "mate I'm only asking a question."
"Excuse my friend. She's...a bit straight forward. I'm Hina Valentine, pleasure to meet you." Hina held herself with mature and proper greetings, completely opposite from Carmen.
I only took this as a moment to finally meet and greet. Not that I wanted to actually get to know any of them personally. It's not like they will be working her any time soon. As if I can talk high and mighty from where I'm standing. I'll be kicked out of this program before I have the chance to walk out this building, "my names Kiraa, Kiraa Links." Retuning The greetings and hand shake.
"Hold the phone!" Carmen knocked Hina's hand away clenching mine with both of her hands looking towards me with glint in her eyes a smile running across her face, "Links? L-I-N-K-S. You don't happen to be related to Lilith Links?"
"S-She's my older sister..." okay ow- her grip is tightening. Screw this I ripped away from Carmen's clutches. She honestly acted embarrassed she got all hot and bothered from my sister. Was she really all that big of a deal.
No that couldn't be right? I mean there would be actors and actresses if they had siblings and those siblings had friends and they told their friends actor or actress is my bother/sister. I imagine that would be a more appropriate response. Lilith Links? My sister I just don't see it.
"A lot of reports said Lilith never had any siblings. She considered most of her co-workers like family."
Here comes a new challenger Luke Ashford
"If you don't mind me asking if there were numerous reports of her not having siblings do tell how we can believe you are related to her?" Luke persisted. It's not like I had a family photo of her and me, I know some siblings are very close in the beginning, but can I say we were ever close to being with. Lilith practically kept me in a cage I had no freedom outside of school. Why would I give a shit if these people know who I am! "So it was just a little white lie. And you must have been chosen for this program by accident. It won't be long before they make you back your things." Luke ran into me before grabbing his back walking out the gate. I could feel the eyes of disappointment raining on me. Again I'm just a poster of disappointment propaganda.
No I can do this for myself! I'll-
"Fuck you! You popish white asshole!" My voice echoed through the locker room, everyone's eyes blew up wonder where this was going to go, hell I didn't even know, "I didn't know what hell I was doing during the test that's true I passed by the skin of my balls. I don't know what all of you been through, but I've already had my experience on the battlefield. I was the pilot of that white Vrave during the attack on Gekko high. My sync level so high it would put yours to shame Luke! I didn't even need a Skell suit ether. I've already destroyed a-"
