One by one more and more recruits walked forward to be tested, most passed but there was still an ever increasing amount of drop outs. Zach eventually stepped forward and passed by being placed to the pilot program. The tree girl Leena went after him and was added to the command group along with Lindsey… Continue reading Defenders (Part 29)
He was about to say more when to his surprise the other three recruits from Earth walked in followed by Fin. “It seems they prefer to group people who know each other together.” She stated in the general direction of Arthur, making it clear that she had no personal investment to be grouped together with… Continue reading Defenders (Part 28)
Arthur received his data-pad and looked at the screen. It had a message in some language he couldn’t read but only after a moment it adjusted to English and it clearly read: Squad A107, room 29. A small map diagram popped up on the screen as well and arrows directed him to what he presumed… Continue reading Defenders (Part 27)
“Welcome future Defenders of the Cosmos! For those who don’t know, I am Admiral Ceril leader of the Defenders. You have come far, from all corners of existence to this place. Avalon.
