Zack wandered slowly through the corridor, keeping his sword drawn and poised in front of him. He started and turned when a voice finally cut through the silence of the base. Zack quickly turned and pointed his sword directly at the newcomer [@Raptra].

The teen in front of him looked nothing like anything he had seen before - he wasn’t even wearing typical clothing. The references for this reality must have been shipped from a new backwater town Zack had never heard of. “...date today?” Zack only caught the end of the teen’s sentence and he lost his momentum slightly. He dropped the sword’s point and looked confused. Since when did the simulations talk to him? “Uhh.. I think it’s Thursday?” He replied, scratching his head, “or maybe it’s Friday.. Is this some kind of test? Is there even anything to fight in this mission?” Zack’s eyes then widened and he pointed his sword at the teen in an accusatory manner, “Wait you’re trying to trick me to let my guard down! Ha, well not today, nobody tricks me! SOLDIER 2nd class Zack is on the job so bring it on!” He took on an offensive stance, then took a run at the teen.
