**BREAKING NEWS**
Space Military Command Prepares Teens to Serve on Mars
The Space Military Command is currently training teens in preparation to serve a five-year mission on Mars guarding the colonies based there.
A spokesperson from the worldwide organization confirmed a group of twenty teens—aged sixteen to eighteen—has just completed their isolation simulation in preparation for the mission. They will now begin flight school in order to pilot the fighter jets sent with the recent supply ship to the Makiko colony on Mars.
While applications are being accepted from teens for future mission, the spokesperson confirmed that those enrolled in space school have a better chance of working their way up through the ranks and leading one of the Mars squadrons.
The Space Military Command was formed four years ago after Earth intercepted a signal from space. The message originates from less than five light years away, the Proxima Centauri system. A greeting, the world assumes. Proof of other intelligent life in the universe.
Governments from all over the planet gathered then to compose a statement in return, one of peace. And Earth continues to wait anxiously for a response.
Around the same time as the message was received, a group of privately funded organizations established the first colony on Mars. But with the extraterrestrial message, panic ensued. Several colonies now exist out there all alone, exposed, and with no military protection. And so, the SMC, space military command, was born, with headquarters in Austin and Beijing.
So while these teens still have one more year of training before they blast off for Mars for their five-year mission, the question is, how much will change in their absence?
Chapter One
Staff Sergeant Hannah Coriveau took a bite of her meal bar. Bacon-and-egg flavored this time. Not her favorite, but a definite improvement over the one the manufacturers called spaghetti and meatballs.
Ever try a Jajangmyeon-flavored one?
Senior Airman Moon Jin Woo waved his bar around beside her. Or Bibimbap? My grandmother used to tell us they taste close to the real thing. And they’re definitely better than the North American flavor palate I’ve been forced to consume for the past six years.
I agree.
After shoving the last piece of his bar in his mouth, Senior Airman Alex Zhang stood while rolling the empty wrapper into a ball. He tossed it toward the trash compactor and got it in with a rim shot. The pork dumplings are my favorite. Though I don’t mind the pizza or chocolate ones.
Yeah, except we ate all of those on our way to Mars.
Senior Airman Colin Garish entered the mess hall, taking the seat across from Hannah and beside Zhang.
He glared at Moon. Probably for sitting beside her rather than for eating the last of the good meal bars, because they’d all devoured them together. Hannah had even stashed a few chocolate-flavored bars in her locker to keep from the others. Yet, they hadn’t lasted the first month of their journey.
Garish’s attraction to her was no secret among the squadron, but his interest wasn’t returned. Sure, he was good looking. All of her squadron was when they actually took the time to clean themselves. But Hannah had Peter, the teen who’d stolen her heart back on Earth and to whom she’d vowed to remain faithful while she served her five years with the Space Military Command. Now they were both adults and could start a family together as they’d planned all those years ago—though she hadn’t heard from him since her first year away. The only person she’d received any communication from was her father, his occasional emails stating nothing new had happened and they all hoped she was doing well. With the rest of her squadron’s communications from home dwindling as well, she worried the SMC had placed restrictions on what came through, to keep them focused. But it had only made her that much more anxious to return to Earth.
Don’t worry.
Hannah gazed past Garish to the port window. In a week, we’ll land on the lunar station. And a month after that we’ll be on Earth. Home, and able to eat whatever flavor we want.
Moon leaned closer, twisting around so his back was to the other squadron members. You know, Korean flavors are very tantalizing. You can have a taste of me anytime you want.
A half-eaten bar flew over the table and smacked Moon in the side of the head.
Back off,
Garish gritted out.
Moon simply glared at him with a sly smile and draped an arm over Hannah’s shoulders. You jealous, farm boy?
When Garish growled, Hannah rolled her eyes. Okay, boys, rein in the testosterone.
She pushed Moon’s arm off her shoulder. I’m your commanding officer. Nothing else. Just because I’m the only female on this ship does not mean I’m going to sleep with either one of you, so get that out of your minds.
What about me?
Senior Airman Rodney Simons rolled over on the couch at the far end of the room and faced them. I’m sure I could make you forget about your boyfriend back home if you invited me back to your bunk. Zhang would be my first pick in terms of looks, but he’s also like a little brother to me. Garish is so out of practice, unless you count his hand, and Moon obviously didn’t know how to satisfy any of the partners he had because no one ever went back to him for seconds.
The water in Zhang’s mouth flew across the table, some of the spray hitting Hannah and Moon beside her.
But Moon didn’t acknowledge it, his sights set on Simons. You’re a lying asshole, just jealous that I never wanted to fuck you.
Hannah grabbed the back of Moon’s shirt as he tried to stand. Calm down. Otherwise, I’ll lock you in the isolation chamber.
Moon twitched his head to the side then pushed his cheek
