Jared was awake and practicing his aim when he heard the gunshots, another deviant getting killed because he wasn't in the army or he had outlived his usefulness, that thought stuck in Jared's mind a little [i]"When am i going to outlive my usefulness to the army?"[/i] He thought he knew he was a pawn in someones grand scheme but a pawn can live up to many aspirations, it could become anything it wanted when it aspired to be it with the exception of the king, maybe just maybe Jared could become something else too.

These thoughts however were short lived as Jared went into the base for breakfast, he stood in line and took his slop just like every other pawn in the military, he ate alone as nobody really trusted him as he was a deviant, but to the deviants he was too close to being normal to be apart of their group, so he was a loner it didn't matter eventually his handler would tell him what he needed to be done and he would do it, nothing to it but to do it.

After breakfast he was called into a briefing with the other soldiers and assigned duties, and once again he wasn't assigned anything so he was able to enjoy some rec time but instead of going off base to that god forsaken bar he sat against the wall and enjoyed reading "The Art of War" By Sun Tzu, books about war and philosophy always amused him as it made him think, and thinking was something Jared didn't get to do by himself much as his handlers were always telling him what to think and what to feel his lift felt meaningless but nevertheless he would rather have a meaningless life than no life at all, he owed it to the military after all.
