Earth - Daniel "The Teacher" England
I can still remember everything i use to be. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 2000 went hrough all my training and then started working as a small boat operator until 9/11 after that i was dedicated on becoming a seal. I made it through BUDS class 212 and all my training after that. I got assigned to seal team 3. After 4 years on the team I wanted to be an instructer so i asked to transfer over and it was approved. 14 years as a seal instructor qualified in every aspect of training. I am qualified as an instructor in HALO(High Altitude Low Opening), Airbore, Air Assault, Sniper, SEER(Survive Evade Escape Resist) Scuba, Underwater Demolitions, Pathfinder & a few other things. 14 years is a long time to learn multiple areas of training and get certified to teach those things as well. Then i wanted to make E-8 i was told i needed to be in the teams again to be able to get combat command expierence so i went. Our first mission in 2020 we get tasked with reconing a possible chemcial weapons factory in Pakistan close to the Chinesse border. Well it goes FUBAR on the extraction we start taking direct and inderect fire. Mostly small arms probaly some kind of AK-74 variant a few RPGs but they dont know where we are right now so its all good. Then the mortars start dropping probably 81mm thank god for small favors 120mm and we would be toast. Thats when it happens a round lands near me and detonates I lose both my legs and my left armthe team corpsman patches me up the best he can and pumps me with some drugs i dont remember what happens after that I just wake up in the hostpital. They tell me i was not in a coma just knocked out for 2 weeks. My wife Emily and daughter Krista are there when i wake up and i feel like i am letting them down now. Back in 2007 before we had our daughter we opened a small gear and accessory shop in the mall Emily got a nice chunk of money from her grandfather when he passed away but we never used any of it just kept it in a savings account for the interest to keep building. We used that to start the small business and my wife was going to run it with me helping when i could. Now i sit here all the time so i have something to do. My wife has been sick lately in and out of the hospital but i cant really do anything we know now that it is brain cancer but we cant do anything about it. 20 years I gave my country and now they just throw me away and wont help us. We know there is a new expieremental treatment for brain cancer but we cant get approval for it and we dont have the money to do it out right. I just dont know what to do.

Jacob
I am walking through the mall in San Diego California close to the base at Coronado. I just got done reading the file of one Daniel England former seal instructor. He looks like a perfect candidate for SGMC I hope he will accept the offer. I see the store E&D equiptment right there and walk inside.
*Door chime* Hello welcome to E&D Equiptment how may I help you today? I hear a young women say from the counter when i walk in.
Hello is there a Daniel England available?
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Just as i leave the back room i hear a young man asking about me.
I am Daniel how can i help you?
There is a military vibe coming off this guy so i know he was or is military wonder what he want.
Jacob
Well here it goes i think. This is the only guy that wouldnt accept the ticket to travel and meet with me so lets hope he will atleast think about the offer.
Yes is there a place we can talk in private?
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Sure come back here. Krista can you put the out to lunch sign up and go take a break please.
Krista England
I do not know what is going on but dad has an idea or something he never talks with people in private and never asks me to leave and lock up the store for lunch.
Are you sure dad?
Daniel "The Teacher" England
She knows something is up i never lock the store up for lunch i always stay here alone during that time.
Yes hun please I am going to be in a meeting for a bit.
Krista England
Okay dad i will be back in 45 minutes.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Okay. Follow me please and we can talk.
Jacob
His daughter is the suspicious sort isnt she.
On your 6.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
I lead this young man to the office in the back and tell him to take a seat so we can talk.
Jacob
After he invites me to have a seat i pull out the anti-listening stuff Max made up and activate it and set it on the desk then i take my seat.
Chief England I was hoping to talk to you about a job.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
He puts some device on the desk I am guessing it is to secure the room from bugs and such but that is only a guess.
What kind of job? I am not very good at things these days if you cant tell.
Jacob
I want you to be the NCOIC of my SF training. There is a lot to be done and this is going to be a new group. It will not be based on earth but in space.

Daniel "The Teacher" England
WTF! This guy must be crazy or he knows something i do not probably both now that i think about it.
Explain.
Jacob
Here goes nothing i hope it works.
I explain what happened to me and the girls. I tell him about Max and what my plans are for the future. I tell him about the medical tech we have and that we can fix him right up. I tell him everything because if this guy accpets he will be very important for SGMC's future.
And that is why we invited you to come interview with us but you were the only person to decline so i decided to come in person and ask you while explaining everything. Do you have any questions?
Daniel "The Teacher" England
This guy lucks into that! WTF!! I keep going over the story and wondering what i am should do. If i say yes i get my body back and can train again. He wants me to be his top SF instructor for the entire company that is going to be insane. I can already tell this thing is going to expand faster then anything on earth. I wonder....
Yes if i accept what happens to my wife and daughter?
Jacob
They are welcome to come stay with us and they can either work for SGE or decide they want to be support personell for SGMC its up to them. If they want to they can simply go to school and learn new areas of study that are available thanks to Max.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
What about medical care? My wife is very sick right now.
Jacob
All personell and dependents free medical care period. In the future we will even have civilian implants that will help with there health but those will not be offered unless we know the people are going to stay long term with us. I mean think about it we have the ability to rejuivinate and extend a persons life while keeping them in top condition. So decades are long term not 1 or 2 but 5 or 6 decades is long term now.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
That makes perfect sense okay I am in but i need to talk to my wife and daughter see if they are willing to go ahead and join me. I know my wife will agree but my daughter is different she wants to be SF and go shoot people but you know how it is no military will let her go SF.
Jacob
She can in SGMC if she wants to but she will have to pass the course on her own. I know you wouldnt rubber stamp her but some might if they think you will like it so you will have to keep a close eye on that sort of thing.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
You dont mind female's in combat roles? And ofcourse i wouldnt do that it would end up getting her killed for sub-par training. I will beat the fuck out of any idiot trying to pass people that cant make it on there own.
Jacob
Ofcourse i dont mind. With the tech we have available and knowledge there is nothing a women wont be able to do that a man cant. All our SF personell will get genetic enhancments aswell as top line implant suite. It will make all out perosonell a lot better at there jobs.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Well that makes sense. Okay let me call them and ask them both to come here so we can talk about all this. Do you mind waiting around so when we are done talking we can give you an answer right away?
Jacob I do not mind at all but i do have to be in Texas in 2 days for the conference with all the other people we want to get to stand up our training and first groups for SGMC it is going to be a crazy ride. All the people we invited will be instructors for us. The second group will be Officers and NCO's for our active units then we will start getting enlisted personell. You are all going to be busy but if you design the Training and iron out any problems with it we will be able to get all our people through trainging in weeks no matter what they are going to be doing. Dont forget about the training pods and the time compression that they offer. Also there are serveral things you will need to learn and learn how to be an instructor in that you are not capabile in right now. Such as HAGLO(High Altitude Glide Low Opening) and Orbital insertions. You will aslo need to learn how to operate our combat armor we even have a special class of armor for our SF teams. You will need to learn both as will all our SF members.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Okay yeah that makes sense and a lot do do i think that is an understatement of the year. Okay they are on there way so I will send you a message when we are ready for you sound good?
Jacob
Sounds good to me. Hope everything goes well and for your information even if your wife doesnt want to stay up there and you have to decline we can help your wife no problems we would help you aswell but that would raise to many flags beforfe we are ready for them but after we can help you.
Daniel "The Teacher" England
Thanks. Is all i was able to say then he just walked out. I kinda like the kid wonder what he is going to do in the future. He has the smarts to not give the tech away atleast. This will be fun!

What if you can build a town that moves faster than the speed of light? Silas Creedy, a retired Olympic Fencer in his late twenties, has befallen hard times in a crashing economy caused by dwindling rare minerals on Earth and Helium-3 on the lunar surface. He works as a manual laborer for the Space Force, accepting a measly pay while maintaining a strong physique. On Monday morning, Silas receives a notice of termination, but General Grant Freeman makes a dangerous offer: explore a distant star system in a top-secret electrogravitic spaceship while wearing a prototype exosuit that augments reality into a role-playing game. The objectives? Locate a source of Helium-3. Plain and uncomplicated. Silas accepts, but on an Earth-like planet he comes across a seemingly unmanned crashed spaceship that has a remarkably similar aesthetic to his exosuit. As local Fauna attack him, the crashed ship’s AI hijacks his suit’s programming, fends off the the locals, and repairs itself by fusing with Silas’ ship. Silas soon finds himself in the midst of a war between two Kardashev type-3 civilizations vying for dominance over the Milky Way. With his new AI companion, Tracey, Silas decides to go on the run to keep Earth’s location secret. Contains profanity, gore, transhumanism, and eventual real-world LitRPG character stats and spaceship-building mechanics.

8 174Ars: The World Beyond The Walls
For a thousand years, humanity has been confined behind the large, overarching walls that protect them from the outside world. It is said that before the age within the walls, humanity ruled the world, overpowering the creatures of this land with their overwhelming magical ability. However, now humanity is but a shell of its former self, forced to live within walls that only hold a few thousand people, only sending out a select skilful few each year to explore the world beyond the walls. Most never return, and those who do bring back scars, both physical and mental. The curiosity that humankind possesses is an ember that no matter how small it glows, will never truly fade. A group of aspiring adventurers that seek to know what lies outside the walls don't plan on waiting until they're of age to be selected, the group they call themselves as "The New Explorers". What waits for them outside the walls is true hardship, creatures that are beyond their greatest imagination, beyond their deepest, darkest fears.
