Document 1:

?- The Universe, an ever changing/shifting puzzle of cause and effect. A place of randomized trauma and unprecedented results, that is if you're ignorant. There are those who know how it works and if you're able to see the “circuitry” you wouldn’t be surprised as much. The Enterprise is a place with such people. A building with no origin, no face, no character it’s about as drab and unappealing as it gets, but it’s more than what it seems.

(The scene opens up from the POV of a man in bed who’s alarm just went off)

?- Uh? *shutting off his alarm clock/sigh*

(The man has long black hair that reaches to his lower back, a faint beard and light brown skin. He gets out of bed with a huge yawn and prepares for a shower. As he gets in his body is shown to be full of scars. He gets out of the shower, makes breakfast for himself and starts to watch TV for a while)

TV news anchor- In recent news uprisings have been spotted happening in Poland as protestors have been pelted with tear gas-

(The man shuts off the TV after looking at the time. He goes to brush his teeth and wash his face. Afterward goes over to his closet, gets a black and white suit with a red and black tie, along with a nametag with the name “Jacob A. Maverick”, he puts it on, then grabs a brief case with the writing “O-103” inscribed on it. He makes his way out of his apartment as sees a ball headed towards him and stops it with his foot, soon a kid comes up to retrieve the ball)

Child- Thank you mister-

(The kid sees Jacob and gets intimidated by his appearance and stature, so he runs away. Jacob watches the kid leave, then gets into his car which is a black 4 door “Bexus”. He drives away from his apartment going down a few streets and onto a long road that leads to a giant barren land in the middle of Washington DC, inside of the crater are tons of graves with crosses to mark their postings. Jacob gets out of the car and enters the building after scanning his name tag. Jacob just sighs as he enters the tall, black building, which has a large lobby with many passageways to different areas, an elevator in the back and giant circular reception desk in the middle which Jacob makes his way to)

?- It’s him

?- He’s the one you told me about?

?- Watch out for him

(Around Jacob are some new recruits that are getting the initiation from their superiors. Jacob makes it to the desk to meet one of the receptionists at the middle of the large lobby, which is a chubby, dark-skinned lady named Latoya)

Latoya- *filing nails* Ok, I see your problem Mr. Green and I implore you to seek Dr. Morrow for more details on your matter as he is head of “O research”- *notices Jacob* Excuse me for a bit, Hey baby, how you doing today *smiling*

Jacob- *unbothered* Do I have any objectives for today 

Latoya- *sigh* Your no fun *looking on her computer* You haven’t been assigned to anything specific…hmmm *peering closer to the computer as she gets a notification* Oh looks like your in luck there has been a request sent from D-2 for an assistance request but that seems too low brow for you-

Jacob- I’ll do that then 

Latoya- Well ok then *typing* let me just put you in *She focuses in on the computer as she types away* alright there you go 

Jacob- *bland* Thanks

Latoya- No problem

(Jacob starts to walk to Sector 1)

Latoya- *in background speaking in headset* Associate Maverick is taking on the assistance request in D-2…

(Jacob makes his way down the hall and sees a bullet train that has recently stopped; he gets on and sits down along with the many other riders in the train, some wearing similar suits to him but with either a Yellow, Green, or maybe a Purple tie and others getting off the train in damaged/bloody research equipment. As he gets comfortable a man walks towards him in a conductor's uniform with closed eyes and an eerie smile)

Conductor- *smiling* Good Evening Mr. Maverick, how are we today?

(Jacob says nothing)

Conductor- *not missing a beat* Outstanding! Now, where are we off to?

Jacob- *looking out the window* D-2

Conductor- *mock salute* Understood

(The Conductor leaves through one of the doors at the end of the car. The train ride then commences and as soon as it does, it ends as most of everyone else has left the train with Jacob still on. Jacob then gets off at his destination and walks out into the station platform)

Conductor- *waves* Happy Hunting!

(Jacob enters a world of night, purple and blue with noticeably vacated research equipment covered with bug-like creatures and an even bigger bug in the back)

Jacob- *loosening tie* At least they all got away

(Jacob then unlocks his briefcase and pulls out a collapsible scythe that he flips around himself)

Jacob- *bored* Time to work

/////////////The Enterprise\\\\\\\\\\\\\

(Jacob is pulling his scythe out of the head of the large bug- like creature)

Jacob- *bored* Looks like y'all have gotten bigger

(He puts his scythe in the case, walks back to the train platform,scans his tag and after a few seconds the train comes back around. The doors open, Jacob walks in and goes to take a seat)

Jacob - *in head* Almost always the same thing everyday

Conductor- How was it Mr. Maverick?

Jacob- To The Enterprise

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Conductor- At once sir *mock salute*

(The Conductor leaves and the train starts to move again and makes it back to The Enterprise quickly, as he exits the train car he makes his way to the cafeteria where he gets some food and sits down. While he’s sitting there he’s joined by someone with a red and black tie and an eye-patch reading “O-1234”: This is David Barclay)

David- Sup Jacob

Jacob- *looks up* Hey

David- *sits down/nonchalant* Have you heard, recruitings is tomorrow 

(This doesn’t sit well with Jacob)

David- *eating* You forgot, didn't you

Jacob- I wanted to *looking at his phone*

David- *picking at his food* Look man, I know you hate it but your gonna have to get used to it, the sooner you accept that fact the better you’ll feel

Jacob- Thanks for the advice, *eats a bit of his sandwich* I’ll just opt out

David- You know you can’t 

Jacob- *scrolling through phone* Wishful thinking 

Intercom- ASSOCIATE BARCLAY, YOU ARE TO REPORT TO SECTOR 3 EVALUATION LAB 1 FOR ANALYSIS

Jacob- *looking up* What’s that about?

David- *sigh* Probably to do with the mission I was sent on this morning, had to deal with a breach

Jacob- Alright then

(They eat for a bit and then David gets up) 

David- Welp looks like I’m out *see's Jacob’s downtrodden state/sigh* Look just try and bear with it, that’s the best I can give you

Jacob- Thanks, David

(David leaves and Jacob is left there to finish the rest of his meal)

Intercom- ASSOCIATE MAVERICK, YOU ARE TO REPORT TO SECTOR 3 EVALUATION LAB 2 FOR ANALYSIS

Jacob- Looks like it’s my turn

(Jacob finishes his food and makes his way to sector 3)

?- *whispering to coworker* I wonder what they want with “Reaper” in the lab

(Jacob makes his way to Sector 3, after passing by many coworkers and researchers, he makes it to the evaluation lab where he meets Dr. Hermione Hemingway)

Hermione- Hello Mr. Maverick

Jacob- *sits down in chair and sets down his case* Dr. Hemingway 

Hermione- *sits down with a notepad and recorder* This recording is being taken as documentation of Associate Maverick’s assignment in D-2 at 0700 hours, are you ready to proceed, Mr. Maverick?

Jacob- Yes

Hermione- *straightens up* Alright, could you give me a description of your assignment?

Jacob- When I got there everything looked normal as they usually are in D-2, after walking for a bit I discovered the reason for the site’s evac. Those "bug things” were crawling all over the place

Hermione- *finishes writing* Were the “bugs” blue and green, sharp teeth, human-like arms and reptilian-like tails?

Jacob- Yes

Hermoine- Must be O-145 *starts writing*

Jacob- Among them was a larger one, I assumed it to be the alpha 

Hermoine- O-145-1?

Jacob- I guess 

Hermoine- Hm, were you able to get a sample of the specimen?

Jacob- No, if you need one you can probably still get it 

Hermoine- *tapping pencil* Anything else

Jacob- No

Hermoine- *writing down something* Alright we will send security into that area for the next few weeks in case any further events from O-145 happen again, thank you for your time Mr. Maverick *presses button to end recording*

(Jacob gets up to leave)

Hermione- Mr. Maverick please be sure to get samples next time, the research team would greatly appreciate it

(Jacob just leaves, passing by the many other workers to make his way to the Chief’s office at the top floor through the elevator)

Jacob- *in head* The Chief, the boss of this place, nothing major happens in this building without her say so *scratches neck* I’ll see if she’ll let me out of recruitment this time

//DING//

(Jacob exits the elevator and goes to the receptionist)

Jacob- I am here to see Ms. Rayleigh

Receptionist- Oh, let me phone you in *ringing* Ms. Rayleigh? You have a visitor *pause* it’s Associate Maverick *pause/puts down the phone* Your clear

(Jacob makes his way through the lobby into the office. He opens the door and feels the immediate cold, stillness of the room. Not a shred of life or being in it, just the dispassionate air of an office space.)

?- Hello Jacob, to what do I owe the pleasure

(Sitting at a desk in front of him was a woman of average height, dark skin, 2 cornrow braids, and an eerie blank expression; this, was Nora Issac Rayleigh)

Jacob- I would like to opt out of the “Recruitment Program”

(There was a deafening silence)

Nora- No

Jacob- Why not?

Nora- We’ve had this conversation before, Jacob, as a worker of The Enterprise you must adhere to the “Recruitment Program” when it is presented, as a way to introduce new members into the organization

Jacob- You know of my reputation right?

Nora- Yes and I simply do not care; so, will you still prattle me with this and proceed to waste more time or continue to do your job?

(Jacob stays silent for a bit)

Jacob- Goodbye

Nora- And Jacob

(Jacob looks back at her)

Nora- Have a good day 

(The door closes behind Jacob)
