>>6158925Deja is the only adult you trust enough to like in the Naval Officer's academy, even if she is an AI. The other kids like her as well, as she reminds you of the teacher's back home, always patient and caring.
Sometimes you see the Volva in the labcoat, talking with Mendez or observing the morning exercises or activities he puts you through ever day, but you don't know if she's the mastermind or just a doctor making sure Mendez and the other trainers don't push their recruits too far or go too far with their discipline methods.
Frowning, you stand up straighter and turn to Dimas-012, the runt of the class, which means he is still taller than most other boys your age.
"Fascinating, isn't it? The cost of projectors of this quality must be immense, and the range they have, it's nothing short of incredible" He says, you only started to get to know him the last few days, when Nesta and Daisy got into a fight during a game of king of the hill. Which...well your team just had an unfair advantage in the form of you and Jorge
"The holograms do look more...real than they were back home" You say, remembering yesterday's lesson, about some warrior called Benkai, and how he died standing after being turned into a human pin cushion. A sight that gave you, and several other kids nightmares. You'd asked around.
"Every component is unique, purpose built" Dimas said with a smile
"How do you know all this? Did you ask Deja" Fhajad-084 asked, as your usual group of friends marveled at the scene playing around them, while you, Dimas, Fhajad, Shika and Vinh -030 stood outside of the hologram, as Deja explained the events that it depicted unfolding.
"Its obvious, isn't it?" He replied with a casual shrug "They're obviously putting a lot of money towards...whatever they're doing here with us
You nodded, and walked away from the four to approach Deja, who hovered ethereally above the replicated battlefield, looking to your eyes like a wingless Valkyrie.
"Yes, Sven?" She asked, as you looked up at her, but she reappeared in front of you, in a stream of light "Do you have a question for todays lesson about..."
>The Battle of Stamford Bridge (Why did the lone Viking hold the bridge by himself?)>The Forty Seven Ronin (Why did Ronin break the rules to avenge their master) >Roman Legion Decimations (Why would they kill their own people like that?) >The Interplanetary War (How could a war that big even work?!)>"Not about the lesson, I wanted to ask you something else..." (Write in option)And that's me done for the night, before I can pass out at my PC again. Same deal as always, I'll try to write at least one update tomorrow, and endeavor to do more
