The Experimentals
The Experimentals (c) Faolan Bartholomew
Two thousand teenagers ranging from ages fifteen to nineteen, were standing in a giant auditorium in a haphazard mass looking around murmuring to themselves about why they had been taken here. Some were scared and silent others crying others demanding to see an attorney, and others just yelling obscenities. They all stood wearing the clothes on their back and the bag they had been given when they were taken here in the unmarked car by men in suits.When the clamor began to get to the point that it was going to boil over a short stout man wearing a lab coat and came up to the podium that was set on the far side of the room. He cleared his throat into the mike causing to make a shrill whine causing the group to groan in protest and look towards the man.
"Now that I've got your attention, you have all been selected by the military to participate in a government experiment, to create super soldiers and advance the human race. Some of you will die, some of you will be paralyzed, some of you will wish you had the luxury of the last two, but most of you will possibly survive. Don't try to contact your family's, don't try to make a run for it." With that statement a hissing noise happened and a door opened up to reveal a large tinted piece of glass that was facing directly at a large ball of light, that was too bright to look directly at, "as you can see you are very very far away from your families and even earth. This station is orbiting the planet mars always sun away from the view of earth itself. No one knows you are here and since over 1 million people are reported missing every year in the US alone you won't be news worthy we made sure of that." With that he left the podium and men came in and rounded them up into groups of five each, and made them march into rooms in which the doors sealed shut and they were left to their own.
