{This story written by me, who most of you know as Mouse. I am currently working on chapter one, and I started this in school today, and have worked on the entire thing for about 2 hours total. Enjoy.}

--Prologue--

"Wake up, John. One hour until your duty shift," announced the computer's built-in alarm clock.

John yawned, rolled over, and finnally, after a few moments more of rest, sat up. He quickly began to get dressed and ready for the day.

As soon as he finished getting dressed, he went into the bathroom and washed his face.

"Computer, what time is it?" he asked groggily.

"Six o' sight a.m." the computer responded, its voice as flat and emotionless as always.

"I really have to get Aaron to give you a more enjoyable voice, computer," John mumbled half to himself.

"Restate command or inquiry."

"Never mind."

John put on his utility belt and left his room, heading towards the bridge. As he walked, he saw Aaron in the hallway ahead of him.

"Aaron, wait up!" he yelled as he ran to catch up.
