Datum 22 : Forced Enlistment

Why am I even required to give salute to these people?? Hindi naman ako isang officer sa lugar na ito. And why am I even on this uniform?!

Damn Xavierhelds are weirdos.

Come to think of it, why am I following this blue-haired old virgin hag kung pwede naman akong tumakas palayo sakanya?

Umugong ang panandaliang katahmikan saaming dalawa as we ventured on the silent hallways. Palihim akong napapabalikwas ng aking tingin hoping that there will a chance for escape.

"Kung ako sayo ibasura mo na yang pag iisip mong makatakas, Vaughn. All of the hallways here are protected with security infra-red lasers na automatic na mag aactivate ng security alam. One wrong path and it will surely injure you severely." Banta niya.

"Huh? Ang weird naman ng security system nyo, kasing weird mo."

"Only registered officials and employees can penetrate through this facility. The laser can identify whether you are a trespasser or not through biometrics. In your case, the Admiral only had registered your biometrics for certain limited parts of this facility, meaning, kung mapupunta sa ibang parte ng facility na ito, mahuhuli ka parin. You don't have any choice but to follow me. Kaya deal with it."

Nagsungit pa ang isang 'to matapos niyang ipaliwanag sakin ng pagkahaba haba ang systema ng seguridad sa lugar na ito.

Like I give a flying fat f*ck. Ano nga ba ang rason kung bakit nila akong pinagbihis ng uniporme nila at napunta sa lugar na ito to the point na kailangan pa akong kidnapin ng matandang huklubang birhen na ito?

So many questions, so limited answers. Damn it. Siguardong may kinalaman nanaman dito yung babaeng admiral na tinutukoy nila.

"Morning Captains!"

Masiglang pagbati saamin ng isang lalaking crew na napadaan. Out of instincts ay kusang umangat ang aking kamay at agad na sumaludo.

What?!! It's been like 25 minutes of staying here at nagawa na akong traydorin ng sarili kong katawan. Damn Xavierheld and their courtesy! Contagious enough though.

"A new face, eh, Captain Hagalaz?" nakangiting tanong niya as Hagalaz then put his salute down. Napatingin siya sakin panandalian at agad na ibinalik ang tingin sa nasabing crew.

"Indeed, A new face. Meet Captain Von Devi from the intelligence department of Tonic City." He blankly said na lubos na nagpagulat sakin.

What?! Wow! Just wow! At kaialan pa ako naging isang kapitan ng Xavierheld? I badly need explanation right here! Right now!!!!

Kakalabitin ko na sana ang kanyang balikat nang..

"..and a good friend of mine." He then added dahilan upang matigilan ako.

A good friend.. Napatingin ako saaking mga paa. How come na nakakaramdam ako ng kakaiba upon hearing that.

Sadness and joy were likely had mixed up inside my chest leaving me confused. But.. Why?

"Oh. I see.. okay then! Nice meeting you, Captain Devi. I'm afraid I should be going now, Captain Helsberg. Inaasikaso na naming ang gagamiting craft para sainyong pag-alis."

"Okay then. Thanks sergeant." Hagalaz with his serious tone as we part ways.

Geez. To be honest, I really don't have a single idea on what's happening right now, but..

Napatingin parin ako kay Hagalaz na patuloy parin sakanyang paglalakad.

There's somehow an unexplained feeling on me sa tuwing kasama ko ang lalakeng ito. As if I knew him well.
