Commander W "Hello everyone, I am Commander White. You all have been personally selected by our Operators down on Calage, to be part of The Diamonds Intergalactic Program. You will be assigned different stations based on your stats from Calage. There are 84 of you this year, which is a great increase from last year's 39. Let me go over the Stations. There are 8 levels all together. Level 1 is janitorial services. Level 2 is Shipment collection. Level 3 is Mechanic, electrician, and other maintenance needs. Level 4 is Junior Operator. Level 5 is Battle Operator. Level 6 is Demolitionist and Disposers. Level 7 is Control and Contact Leaders. Last but not least is Level 8 Which is Commander. As you know, you can gain levels as you go along. I am one of 3 commanders aboard the ship called The Inferno. The other 2 allied ships in this sector are The Necrosis and The Kindred. As you can see, I have white clothes on. The white will show what rank you are. You can obtain white clothing at level 6 where you are given white gloves, Level 7, white undergarments like a shirt, pants, or boots, and level 8, a white coat. All commanders wear white coats but do not have to wear all white clothing. I keep things professional so I do. My two commanders on board are taking care of things at the moment so you're going to have to meet them another time. This is long enough so let's get to it. You'll each be given a chamber number you'll be assigned to. This will be your home for as long as you remain on this ship. Now let's get you all in there."

*Rilee takes out her phone*
Rilee "Wiring it to you now."
Pieces "Never judge me when it comes to food."
Aria "Look, it's the commander's."
*Commander White steps up on a platform*
Commander W "Everyone listen up! As you know from the attack earlier, our enemies are the Zwi-tech units. The race of the Zwi have been very hostile to all other life in the universe. We, The Diamonds, are the only force strong enough to stop them. Any enemies you've been fighting on the ground are nothing compared to these people. Their home galaxy, MACS0647-JD, is very far away, yes, but they will stop at nothing to destroy us. If we fall, then nothing will stop them from annihilating the rest of the universe."
Commander C "When we figure out a way to infiltrate their home and kill their leader, we will need all of you at your best. Commander Kaitlyn and many others will be your battle instructors. Let me introduce you to Commander Kaitlyn, Liam Burkid and Jillian Frie."
*The three of them walk into the room*
Commander W "Commander Kaitlyn, a word if you please."
*She steps in front of the microphone*
Commander K "Good day everyone."

Rilee "Who are you two going for?"
Pieces "I'm going with Liam. I love that tail he has."
Aria "I don't have special permission."
Rilee "I'm going with the commander."
Pieces "What, you aren't going to join me?"
Rilee "He doesn't look as skilled as the commander."
Pieces "If you say. You should still try and sign up. Toughen you up a bit."

Liam "Your first name is Love?"
Night "Yeah, I just go by Night."
Pieces "I can see why."
Night "I got made fun of for it a lot. I didn't let it get to me."
Liam "Good! No matter the hardship, you keep pushing through!"
Pieces "Yeah!"
Night "Nothing ever gets to me."
Liam "You two will be wonderful to train!"
Pieces "Thanks! How did you make your tail?"
Liam "Interested in it?"
Pieces "Very!"
Liam "I'll tell you tomorrow."
Pieces "Aw."
*Liam laughs*
Liam "Don't you worry bout a thing. You two I'll definitely keep with me. I love uniqueness. They say everyone's unique, but there will always be people who choose not to be. More people try to fit in by being just like the group they want to be in. I like to stick out from others and find my own path."
Night "You can't always walk a path alone."
Liam "All paths merge at some point. There you meet other unique people or even groups of people who are similar. Though I do like to walk my own way, it's always good to fight together with anyone. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Sometimes you will have to fight alongside someone you don't like. Regardless, if the enemy is stronger, teamwork is always better than fighting alone."

Pieces "Awesome! Night, you want to go back to Rilee?"
Night "I can't sorry. I have to go see a friend."
Pieces "Okay, I'll see you again."
*Night waves while walking away*
*Pieces walks back to the table where Aria is sitting*
Pieces "Where's Rilee?"
Aria "I saw her walk out of the cafeteria with some girl. Fleet, I think her name was?"
Pieces "Oh, that's her squadmate. They probably had to go do something."
*Aria starts to look uneasy*
Pieces "Are you okay?"
Aria "The boys across the room from us have been looking at me."
Pieces "They probably think you're cute."
Aria "You think so?"
Pieces "I don't think there's anyone else here that's as cute as you."
Aria "What about you?"
Pieces "I appreciate it, but you're like a puppy."
Aria "I'm allergic to dogs."
Pieces "A kitten then. Whatever, you're adorable."
Aria "Thank you. Can we just get out of here?"
Pieces "Sure. Let's go back to my room."
*Aria gets up and they leave*
*While walking out someone bumps into Aria*
Fel "Watch it!"
*Aria jumps behind Pieces and holds her arm*
Pieces "Back off! Did I already deal with you?"
Fel "You felt with my boys, not me! You're lucky the commanders are nearby or I'd kill you."
*Fel's gets in her face*
Fel "Next I see you, I'm gonna gut you."
Pieces "Try me big ears."
Fel "Get the hell out of my face mosquito bites."
Pieces "You're in my way."
*Night pulls Fel away from Pieces*
Night "There a problem?"
Fel "She needs to watch where she's going."
Night "Don't be an idiot, Fel. She's my friend too."
*Night gets close to Fel's ear*
Night "And you already know what happens when you hurt my friends."
*Fel starts to shake*
Night "You'll be sitting in your room, probably with Gunther and Obaro, and then BOOM!"
*Fel jumps at Night shouting in his ear*
Night "And then you're dead."
*Night pushes Fel away and he walks away*
Pieces "Thanks, Night."
Night "If he bothers you again, then you come to me."
*He notices Aria*
Night "Are you alright?"
*Aria slowly hides her face behind Pieces*
Pieces "She's shy."
Night "She's cute. I'll see you around."
Pieces "Bye."
Aria "He was scary."
Pieces "He's pretty nice though. He can be weird but he's nice."
Aria "I just want to get to the room."
Pieces "Let's go."
*They walk down the hall and get back in the elevator*
*Aira hugs Pieces*
Pieces "Are you okay?"
*Pieces softly hugs her back*
Aria "You barely know me and you've been so nice to me."
Pieces "Well yeah, you're my friend."
Aria "Thank you."
Pieces "I'm always here for you."
Aria "I've didn't have friends in school."
Pieces "I had a few. I met Rilee in the Operator Program."
*Aria let's go of Pieces as the doors open*
Aria "Can I stay in your room? I don't like being alone in mine."
Pieces "You're alone too?"
Aria "We all are. We get put into the storage rooms that don't get used. There's a lot of them."
Pieces "Now that I think about it, there is only one bed. That's probably why no one else showed up. I don't want you sleeping on the floor, so you can take the bed."
Aria "I can't sleep on your bed with you?"
Pieces "It's only a twin size. We're both skinny enough to fit, sure why not."
Aria "I know it might be a bit weird. I'm just so used to sleeping in the same bed as someone. I shared a bed with my Mom."
Pieces "Your dad wasn't allowed on the bed?"
Aria "No, I was adopted when I was younger to a single woman. She wanted a kid but didn't want to be pregnant."
Pieces "Do you remember it?"
Aria "Vaguely. I was pretty young."
*They walk into Pieces' room*
Aria "Oh, I'm gonna go grab my stuff first."
Pieces "Sure go ahead."
*Aria jogs off*
Pieces "I hope that Rilee doesn't get mad."
*Pieces sits on the bed and looks in a mirror*
Pieces "My hair is a mess."
*Pieces grabs a brush from her bed and starts to brush her hair*
*Aria walks through the door while a cute smile on her face*
Pieces "You're excited."
Aria "I've heard about sleepovers before. I've wanted to go to one for the longest time."
Pieces "This will be the longest sleepover you're ever gonna have."
Aria "I hope Rilee shows up. Maybe she can stay with us too."
Pieces "We may be skinny but we can't all fit on the bed."
Aria "Oh yeah. Maybe we can borrow the bed from my room!"
Pieces "Good idea, but I think we'll get in trouble for moving it."
*Aria lowers her head*
Aria "Yeah."
Pieces "No biggie. We'll figure something out."
Aria "Right, where do we shower?"
Pieces "I think I saw showers down the hall."
Aria "We shower with other people?"
Pieces "There should be stalls separating us."
Aria "I hope so."
Pieces "You're uncomfortable about your body, huh?"
Aria "A little. You see, I have a scar on my side."
Pieces "Is it okay if I ask what it is?"
Aria "I was struck by lightning when I was Ten. It left a big burn mark is a weird pattern, across my stomach."
Pieces "Fortunate for you, you got that suit."
Aria "I actually asked for it."
Pieces "Maybe I should have asked for something different then. I didn't know I'd be in something as skimpy as this. My dad wouldn't approve of these."
Aria "What's your dad like?"
Pieces "He's so cool. He loves to have big barbeques and invite all out, neighbors. He loves it when new people move in so he can throw them a welcoming party. Even if they don't show up."
Aria "Why would you not show up to that? That sounds so cool."
Pieces "Some people aren't as socially active. Like you, you're pretty shy."
Aria "Yeah, I get it now. As long as I have you by my side, then I'd show up to anything."
Pieces "I'll hold you to that."
*Aria gets scared and starts waving her arms*
Aria "Wait, no! I was joking!"
*Pieces laughs*
Aria "Please don't make me go!"
Pieces "Don't worry, I'll only take you to things that won't hurt you."
Aria "Thank you."
*The commander comes over the intercom*
Commander W "Attention everyone. If any of you want to make any last-minute calls on your phones, then do so now. We take off in 10 minutes."
Aria "I have to call my mom."
Pieces "Me too."
*Pieces takes out her phone with a pink case and dials a number*
Mom "Hello?"
Pieces "Hi mom, is dad there? Put me on speaker?"
Dad "What's up honey?"
Pieces "I'm just calling to say that we're taking off in 10 minutes. I wanted to say bye."
Mom "Aw, you're so sweet. You can always call us on one of the terminals on the ship you know."
Pieces "There are terminals?"
Dad "I was on the same ship at your age. They're a bit hard to find, but they're next to the digital library."
Pieces "There's a library in here?"
Dad "Digital. Everything is on the computer database."
Pieces "I have a lot to learn about this ship."
Dad "That's the plan."
Pieces "What was it like when you two were Operators?"
Dad "The same as now. Commander White and I were on the same squad. She is one hell of a fighter."
Mom "I was part of a hidden squad. I would go on recon missions so I just did a lot of sneaking around."
*Her dad says something quietly*
Mom "No, she can't, we will sometime later."
Pieces "Everything okay?"
Mom "Sorry, I messed your father up on something."
Pieces "Oh, okay well I'll let you go do what you need."
Dad "You have fun, hon."
Mom "Don't forget about us."
Pieces "Like anyone could forget about you guys."
*They all laugh*
Mom "Okay, bye sweetie."
Pieces "Bye."
*Her mom hangs up*
*Aria walks back in the room*
Aria "Bye, love you, Mom."
*She hangs up*
Pieces "Alright. I want to know you better."
Aria "Know me better?"
Pieces "What do you like, what was your life like, what don't you like, you know the normal stuff."
Aria "I like soft things, staying warm, fixing things, and my favorite food is cake. I like all types of cake. I don't like a ton of things. I grew up in middle class and went to school like anybody else. I would always watch my mom try to fix something herself and she could fix anything. I wanted to be a Mechanic or something along that line to be like her. Turns out I'm really good at fixing all sorts of stuff and an Operator saw how good I was and took me into her school. Now I'm here."
Pieces "What was the most challenging thing to fix?"
*They feel a rumble*
*Aria screams and folds into a ball*
Commander W "Blast off in 3, 2, 1."
*More rumbling goes on and after a few minutes it stops*
Commander W "To all of the new Operators, welcome to space."
Aria "My fear."
Pieces "Awww! You're adorable."
*Pieces holds Aria*
Aria "I'm happy you enjoy my suffering."
Pieces "Oh I'm joking."
Aria "So I'm not adorable!?"
Pieces "No, you are! You're the most adorable person on this ship!"
Aria "Thank you."
Pieces "You're welcome."
Aria "I'm getting a charley horse, can you let go?"
