> Corporal Simmons PoV
"Simmons!" (Sergeant)
The sergeant on duty enters the guard barracks while shouting my name.
"Sir!" (Simmons)
I reply while standing at attention. I hear my squad doing the same behind me.
"You're on, get ready!" (Sergeant)
Finally, huh?
We've already had two consecutive cases of K-7. So this was bound to happen soon.
"The usual K-2, sir?" (Simmons)
I ask to confirm the details, but the sergeant shakes his head.
"Negative, it's a rare K-18. However, this time there's an extra, so we need to be prudent.
You're to be on stand-by at the scene once the target enters the hot zone." (Sergeant)
"Yes sir!" (Simmons)
I reply to the sergeant and he leaves the room.
"Peters! Hart!" (Simmons)
""Yes sir!"" (Peters and Hart)
Two men from my squad reply to me as I call them out.
"You're with me! We're moving in with the assumption that a K-10 or K-15 will occur. However, there's an extra so K-16 is also possible.
Get your gear ready and move out!" (Simmons)
* * *
We're on location, just outside the hot zone.
"I don't like it, sir, it's too quiet." (Peters)
"I agree with Peters, sir." (Hart)
The two whisper their concerns.
"I know how you feel, but we have to lay low. Our presence is more likely to cause a situation than prevent it." (Simmons)
""Sir!"" (Peters and Hart)
They both reply in a quiet voice, but Hart's eyes are swimming.
It's his first [K] so he's worried.
"Calm down private. Just stick to your training!" (Simmons)
"Yes sir!" (Hart)
He visibly steels himself. Good lad, he'll go far in this place.
Suddenly we overhear a muffled voice from the hot zone.
I strain my ears to listen in.
"AAAUUGH!" (Muffled voice)

The two behind me jump slightly at the sudden scream.
"Steady lads!" (Simmons)
I caution them quickly while raising my hand.
"AAARGH! MY ARM!" (Muffled voice)
The screams continue, but the situation is unknown, so we can't move.
Wait for it...
"MEDIC! CODE K-15!" (Muffled voice)
"Move!" (Simmons)
*Slam!*
We run inside the office.
"Captain!" (Simmons)
* * *
*Slam*
We close the door and I turn to the secretary's desk outside it.
"Miss secretary, we're done for now. The captain will wake up shortly." (Simmons)
"Thank you for your hard work as usual, Simmons.
Don't worry about the K-15 form, I'll have the captain handle it." (Secretary)
"Much obliged." (Simmons)
I express my gratitude and address my squad.
"[K] is still in the hot-zone, so don't lower your guard!
We still have a job to do!" (Simmons)
""Sir!"" (Peters and Hart)
* * *
There was some more shouting and screaming a little later.
Since the captain didn't call out to us, we stayed put.
In the end no further incidents were reported.
We head back to the barracks and I quickly debrief my men.
Afterwards, I find myself staring blankly at a memo nailed to the wall.

8 205The Guide
Leon Octavian Sirus was the head scientist of the Median Empire’s department of artificial intelligence. He tried to play god by creating a world with true sentient life, though virtual. It is still a world with people that can learn, think, and feel and as always that action had consequences and one of them was his death by his own creations. Despite commiting a grevious taboo, his world was succesful enough that instead of burning in the depths of hell, which is what this sociopath deserves, he is given the chance by his own world's guide to guide a race in a young world. P.S. This awesome cover was made by the more awesome MikeWe.
