Augmentation

Success

Ryu's POV

I woke from my sleep and stretched my legs and arms as I reached for my glasses and put them on but I immediately threw them off because it hurt my eyes.

'Fuck, habit.'

I picked up my glasses on the floor and put them on the desk but when I looked at the screen I saw a blinking blue dot. I tapped on it and it was a voice recording and it started playing.

"I'm going to find you."

'Is this some kind of prank?'

I was scared so I tried to delete it but I couldn't figure out how to until finally after 5 minutes of searching I found it and deleted it. I sighed and put on the leather tights which I managed to take off with the same machine from the armory that was inside my room. I only put on the tights and left the room and headed towards the cafeteria. I passed a hallway with a window so I stopped and observed the earth. Being on an orbital station wasn't really the best thing I experienced but it was pretty nice.

'What earth is this?'

I watched for about 5 minutes before leaving and started heading towards the kitchen.

"Morning, don't tell me you slept with that on." said Kishimoto

"No, I was able to take it off." I replied

He laughed and patted my shoulder as he left to take a seat with a couple of his friends. I looked over at the food and for some reason, I just didn't feel like eating so I grabbed a bottle of orange juice and sat on an empty table and just drank the juice.

Everyone around me is enjoying their breakfast, laughing and talking amongst one another. I was used to this back at home but for some reason I felt really lonely right now, probably because for the first time in my life I felt wanted in the beginning. Now it's just like whatever, you can't use your augmentation so you're useless. But then I remembered the recording and I started thinking who sent the recording to me.

'Maybe Kurt should know.'

I got up, threw out my empty orange juice and headed towards Kurt's office. I knocked on the door and he came out looking confused.

"Morning advisor but I have a quick question." I said

"Yea, what is it?" asked Kurt

"Well, someone sent me a recording today and the recording was a threat." I said

Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"What did the recording say?" he asked

"It said, I'm going to find you." I replied, "I was wondering if you can check the computers for anyone who could have sent that."

"Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll get back to you if I got anything." said Kurt

I nodded and I decided to not head back to the kitchen but back to my room. I looked at the screen and I saw another blinking light on it. At first I was scared because I didn't want to hear that voice again but I played it.

"Meet me in the training area." said a voice which sounded like Lydia's

I sighed in relief and put on my metal plating and grabbed my two swords and headed over to the virtual training area. Outside, Kishimoto and Lydia were waiting for me.

"Let's go again, this time we're changing up the stimulation." said Lydia

I nodded and went into the room and stood there for about 2 minutes until I started falling. Same intro where I land but this time I was in some kind of dark valley, about 50 yards apart and I was standing in a stream of water about calf high and about 30 yards wide.
