you and the rest of your cabin quickly wake up to the loud blaring of an alarm, each of you share looks to each other not knowing what to do. After a while of just sitting there the door flys open and the pretty sergeant barges in and takes a look at you and the others "you have all failed" she says with a small frown, the alarm stops shortly after "this drill was to see your alertness and productivity in a stressful environment, not one of you lazy rookies even got your asses out of bed.... get dressed and wait for my return to get further instruction" she slowly and gracefully walks out, slamming the door behind her. Everyone is quiet for a while before Chloe breaks the silence "well suit yourself fellas i ain't gettin booted out on my first day" she quickly starts putting on her uniform, the others quickly following behind. You finish getting ready when Max asks a question you had the whole time "so um.. guys... you really think she's gonna put us in the field like... to war?" He had a nervous tone and Chloe quickly tries to reassure him "don't worry bud, she ain't about to kick four rookies into the heart of battle, at least not without trainin hehe" once everyone is dressed and next to the door, you all head out single file and walk into a large room filled with other recruits doing an assortment of crazy things like sparing, climbing, shooting, and lifting. You all look around in awe, except for Chloe who seems very comfortable with the environment and seems like she knows where she is going. after taking a seat the sergeant walks out and starts talking, in a bit of a nicer tone "hello again, i am sergeant Morgan i will be your... instructor, for the next few months." She lets out a deep sigh "you four in particular might be wondering why im giving you somewhat of a, special treatment, i believe you all have extreme talent and will be of extraordinary value out there." You and the other guys exchange looks, Chloe still looking straight ahead. Morgan continues "cliff, Max, you boys will be part of our primary artillery squad" they both look at each other with huge smiles "Chloe, y/n, you two will be in our main troop of foot-soldiers" you look at her, seeing her proud smile quickly fade "b-but ma'am i thought i was gonna be-" she gets cut off by the sergeant "don't worry dear i believe you will do great things out there! Now get to the range you two" you and Chloe slowly start marching over to the large firing range, she picks up the only long range rifle and you get a standard issue handgun "erm, wanna go first?" You say, knowing your have almost no experience with firing a weapon "yeah sure" she says, sounding a bit annoyed, she walks up to position and fires her first shot, blowing the head clean off the target. "holy shit! Nice shot Chloe!" You say a little bit scared of her precision "heh thanks dork" she gives you a subtle wink "go on man, your turn" she steps out and lets you walk past "im uh, im not very good with guns" you smile awkwardly at her before starting to unload your whole clip into the target. "Holy fuck!" She says with a face of pure awe. You look at the target and only see one large whole right in the heart. "Did i miss that many?" She looks at you "miss? You just hit every single one in the same fucking spot! Damn, you're better then i thought!" You smile confidently still not knowing how you did it, looking over your shoulder, you see sergeant morgan watching from behind the glass with a small grin on her face "i think im gonna take a break" you say laying down your weapon and walking out to talk to her. "nice job rookie, i knew you had it in you" she smiles and puts her hand out, you shake it and quickly respond "but, I've never used a gun before, how did i do that?" She straightens up "i told you, you all have something extraordinary, guess you found your talent, good job kid. Now, its getting late rookie, off to your cabin" she gives you one last smile before walking off. Once you and Chloe return, you see something a bit off, Max isn't there, Chloe also takes notice and asks cliff "hey wheres the other guy" cliff responds, sounding confused himself "well, we were learning how to load and fire the artillery and he just kinda snapped, got all aggressive and just kinda curled up on the ground, some doctors took him in for the night, god i hope he's alright" after a moment of silence you all decide to call it a night and get some rest for tomorrow, you lay your head down and look at Chloe, she smiles and winks before turning the other way, feeling a bit awkward you do the same thing and finally get some sleep...
