My name is xxx. The year is 2023, I have still kept my head shaven from 2020. They are hitting the towns and villages. I plan to join the military. Don’t know how i’m going to do that since i’m from xxx. I won't let that stop me. I have planned to go abroad for studies, and become a green card citizen. I have to focus if I want to achieve that.

Now that i’m 21 and have finished college, I have thought deeply about my career in the US army.
I’ve been missing my family. I talk to them on a daily basis. Tomorrow I plan to fill out my form to the army.
I am trying to get on a strict diet and getting used to the army life.
A week passes, i’m almost used to it. They have called me tomorrow at 7 sharp. So I have got to sleep by 9 to wake up at 6. Reminds me of my school days, huh.

A week has passed, and I have passed the obstacle course. Hand Combat is tomorrow, Gotta be fresh for the practise. Its 4 in the morning and I get up, I hear some noises. They were communicating to one and another, "Hey, grab that". A person catches me watching them, then they vanish into the darkness. I didn't give much heed to it, as I thought it must be one of the officers trying to do something or repair something.

As we're in the van, getting ready for the hit. I ask my boss, constantly in nervousness "Are we good to go?"
He's a man who believes in 'peace' and kindly replies "Just a bit more". Around 6 minutes later, we get a signal from a operator "Good to go". We all leave from the van nervously. Our goal of this hit was to obtain a syringe. We sneak around and grab the serum, On our way out our Boss finds a special kind of weapon. A weapon which is not easily available. He orders me to grab that, I grab it and accidently hit a bucket of water. A man comes out and catches us infiltrating, We quickly escape into darkness as our attire was meant for infiltration.

Looks like I am finally getting a promotion after serving for 2 years. My officer points at the cabin and gestures me to go there. I go there, My commander says to me "We have been looking for soldiers with high morale and honesty. We have roughly chosen you since we are low on time, for a temporary special forces group called 'Acid Gambit II'
I was shocked, after 2 years in military I get demoted to swat? I asked them "Like a swat team, sir?" he replied "Yes, but this is a very very important mission. You see, we have been stripped of our main resources. We have realized this just recently as there is a long process to the completion of 'Project Mary' plus this is only temporary. As soon this is over you will earn your permanent promotion"
'Project Mary' huh, that's the first time I ever heard about it. Must be a pretty important mission then. I looked at my briefing, It had all the information about 'Project Mary' it was something related to medical stuff. I glanced at it, and closed the file as my commander would give clear instruction as a revision
The operation was supposed to begin on 20th of this month. I just wanted this to get over as soon as possible.

We are in training. I start to feel some sort drowsy, I rub my eyes. The next thing I know there’s a big flash in front of me. All of my comrades are dead……. Fucking dead…… and I’m getting dragged by some strangers! Well they weren’t any strangers, they had some weird fuckin’ suit. Eyes blue and body black and had some aura around them , that’s all I can remember. I think they had sedated me because I ‘fell’ asleep and the next thing I know, I’m in a test chair.
I saw some shadows in the operating room, it wasn’t transparent. I could hear somethings which the ‘operators’ were talking about. Something about some project. I couldn’t recall anything at all, my head was all around the place.
