My name is Luka, I live in the underground settlement of North Boot, today is the day I become a man by
joining the Retrievers, those are the people who goes to the surface and face the Big Ones, We were suited up,
against my mother wishes I join my squad. We have to be few or otherwise we may raise attention. I have now
Jung and Mikel all my life, their my friends, along with veteran Baster. We climbed out of our hidden passway
into a the openess of the world. It was the first time I had ventured outside, I was marvelled to see the sky.
"Stop goofing around, this is no stroll." admonished harshly our commanding officer. He was right. being a
Retriever was a dangerous job. Our mission was simple we needed medicine to restock our supply, fortunately
our surfacing point was near one of the Big One's confirmed drug stores.
We had climbed a tree, having made it halfway to our target, when we spotted a pair of Big One's children,
each one holding a nude girl not much older than myself in their arms, and forcing them to dance, suspending
them from their arms just above the ground. Me and my mates wanted to rescue them, but the commander simple
shook it's head. Certainly rescue mission often ended in more tragedy and we were mere rookies.
We succesfully infiltrated the drug store, by looking at the neatly stocked shleves I was amazed how the big
ones for all their cruelty against my kind, could be so organized. I wish to now how I went from that to right
now, I can only guess I was hit and banged my self into unconciousness. For when I woke up I was in the
clutches of a very old Big One. I was still dizzy when he began cutting my clothes of my body, with little
concern about myself. Soon my dignity was stripped away, taken no doubt to make me as the simple animal they
saw my kind as. I was shoved into a cage and I passed out.
