The blonde didn’t seem to put off about him being awkward and at the very least he got her name. With a firm but quick hand shake she moved off with the rest of the crowd moving toward the barracks. That women will surely be something, he thought to himself and shrugged off the part about the German. Victor knew that it would be awkward as it is with all things, tolerating the German would be one thing but making friends with one he could already see that it would be an unpopular decision with the others. From what she said and her body language regarding that fact he could already tell that most of the others felt the same way as she did.

He waited for the bulk of the crowd to go before following, he never really knew why he didn’t like crowds he was sure it had something to do with being dangerous or something. Another strange thing he noticed was many of the officers and other staff wore lab coats and looked more like scholars than soldiers. One in particular called out to him as he was passing, [color=ed1c24]“Private Victor Asimov”[/color] the officer spoke. Stopping mid step to snap to attention, the Officer didn’t even look just reading over some papers on a clipboard, “[color=ed1c24]Follow me[/color]” Victor nodded, “[color=007236]yes sir.[/color]”

He followed the officer through halls, past bunks and offices till they reached a small examination room, [color=ed1c24]“Have you looked through your Equipment yet?”[/color] the officer asked as he began looking through some cabinets, “[color=007236]No sir, I have not looked through my file yet[/color]” the officer turned his head to look at Asimov over his shoulder, “[color=ed1c24]you should, while I look for your supplements.[/color]” Victor quickly opened the folder he had been holding onto and began to read through it.

Medical records, criminal history if any, family members and their backgrounds, education and skills. Then at the back was a tab for Experimental equipment, a very detailed and in-depth look into his life even stating some psychological issues and possible risks. The tab for his equipment however had a plain sheet on top stating that any misuse or loss of documents could result in prison time or death. As he flipped through the pages and diagrams of the Hydraulic Assisted Armored Platform he was to be using, he barely registered that the officer was talking to him, “[color=ed1c24]Hey kid, come on, did you see what I mean?[/color]” all the officer got in reply was a nod.

“[color=ed1c24]Good, I am Doctor Petkovic, I will be overseeing your medical progress through your muscle stimulants. The gear you have is heavy and at the current rate of things strength needs to be your priority followed closely by stamina[/color].” The Doctor placed a syringe with a clear liquid on a sterile metal plate as well as a small glass bottle full of small white square pills, “[color=ed1c24]the serum you are going to be given is… experimental and you will have side effects, we are still unsure of the long term effects. It is designed to tear down your muscles while simultaneously repairing them, thus making your muscles denser and you stronger, you were chosen for this because of your age mostly and your size.[/color]” Petkovic paused for a moment holding the syringe in hand, “[color=ed1c24]For a few weeks you can expect to have your muscles be sore and feel like they are on fire, you should also expect your heart to feel funny at times but it should be alright, another thing to expect is well you will be hungry and even though I do believe you should be eating another meal, rations are still low.[/color]” he paused for another moment as he stepped up next to Victor, “[color=ed1c24]Do you have any questions?[/color]” Victor was silent for a moment, he didn’t look at the doctor just at his hands, “[color=007236]can I operate the armor without it?[/color]” another pause as the doctor thought about it, “[color=ed1c24]not very well[/color]” He sighed then looked up at the man, “[color=007236]Then do it.[/color]”

A sharp prick of the needle and a slight burning sensation that slowly made its way down his arm and around his body, and he was done. The doctor handed him the pills in the bottle, “[color=ed1c24]I can’t give you pain killers or alcohol because of the injection but these pills will help with the muscle growth.[/color]” The doctor grabbed the bottle handing it to the boy and pausing, “[color=ed1c24]Now don’t go getting to overzealous this stuff doesn’t make you super human or anything. All it really does is take more of the load off your back.
 at best it will give you above average strength[/color]” he turned away from victor and retrieved the clipboard flipping through a few pages he finally spoke again. “[color=ed1c24]Take one pill at night before you go to sleep and I will check up on you once a week from here on out, you are dismissed[/color]” again victor nodded and left heading back through the hall ways to his bunk.

He walked quickly down the halls moving to the side of other officers and soldiers as he looked for room 5. When he finally found it he noticed that neither of the beds had been used and both had portions of soup siting on wooden plates. He knew which one was his as whoever brought their personal effects in had left his sword leaning against the foot board. Placing the small bottle of pills on a nearby shelf he gripped the handle of his sword placing it on another shelf next to his bed. He stopped for a moment, all he could do or that one moment was look around the room. He sighed for a moment letting his anxiety pass before taking the bowl of soup and sitting down on the bed before he began to eat.
