I walked with the drill sergeant to the same, huge, white room. Same old, same old.

I walked into the room. The drill sergeant gave the order to arm myself. I smiled to myself, my expression invisible from behind my visor.

This is gonna be fun.

I reached behind me, and felt the cold barrel of a shotgun that felt like the touch of an old friend, if i ever had friends. I reached on my leg, felt the box of shells, and loaded my gun.

“Send in the drones.” The loudspeaker in the room sounded.

Oh, boy

Soon, a bunch of metal skeleton-looking robots walked into the room and formed a circle around me. There was something different about them, something….

“Upgrades.” I announced.

“Affirmative” The loudspeaker amplified the drill sergeant’s voice.

My grip tightened on the handle, and the robots walked forward, guns in hand.

Guns!? They aren’t supposed to have guns!!
