Oni sat in his room thinking about Gregor's reaction towards him earlier and decided not to let it get to him. ''Are you ready?'' a familiar voice asked him. ''Yes, sir'' he nodded to Gregor. ''Good, your first trial is in ten minutes'' Gregor said.
Oni walked beside the huge man and stayed completely silent, even though he had a lot of questions he didn't want to annoy Gregor and make him lose his temper again. ''Are you excited?'' Gregor asked. ''Y-yes, sir, but also very nervous''. Oni squeeked.
The two came to a large black metallic door with a V-shaped sign on it. Gregor pressed a couple of buttons and the door lifted open sharply. ''Hello Farin'' Gregor sighed. ''Yo G-man, how's it going, hope the kiddies aint to much for ya'' the tall, black man joked.
The slang made Oni giggle a little, Gregor growled at him, ''Go sit down in that chair, NOW'' he boomed. Oni skulked away holding back tears. ''Now what was the need to do that, tha kids jokin' mate.'' Farin expressed himself without fear of Gregor's wrath. ''Farin, do me a favour, and shut the hell up, if i wanted your damned oppinion, i'll ask. Now start the trial like a good assisant''. Gregor seemed most displeased with Farin's defending of the boy.
Oni sat uncomfortably in the stone chair, which loomed over him like a skyscra.per, thinking to himself, ''why did i want to come here again''. Oni sighed and put on a brave face. A tanoi suddenly boomed into action, ''Ok kid, it's time for the trial, good luck'' Farin's voice oblivious to Oni.
Oni had no idea what was going on, or what to do, so he sat in the chair and waited. Slowly he felt a little more comfortable. The chair seemed to warm up and absorb his very being. ''Ahhhh, i like this trial''. Oni complacently thought to himself. A sudden cold sharp pain struck the back of his head, if felt like a worm was digging into his skull and into his brain. ''OW, It hurts'' he screamed, ''make it stop, please'' Oni begged. The pain increased to agonising lengths until he felt the worm penetrate the core of his head.
It all stopped. No more worming, no more pain, nothing. He looked up and saw Gregor standing behind him, a drill, dripping with blood and other foul looking materials was in his hand. On the floor, there were pools of blood. ''Neural implants, right into the core of your brain'' Gregor announced as if it was nothing. Oni felt violated and dirty. He refused to cry in front of the bulky man. ''Ya ok, kid?'' Farin wondered. ''Yea, yes i'm ok, just a little shaken'' Oni tried to retain his dignity but wept, loud and clearly. Farin rushed to him and held him. ''I know, it's a motherf**ker of a job, but it has to be done'' Farin said angrily, all the while staring coldly at Gregor.
''Well done kid, you passed the first trial, the others won't hurt, well not as much anyway'' Gregor tried his hand at humour but failed, completely.
Later that night, Oni was sent to his sleeping quarters with some sleeping pills and pain killers, just in-case he had some repercussions. He overheard an argument between Gregor and Farin, ''What the f**k were ya doin' in there? You coulda killed the poor kid, god damn, it was a blood bath''. Farin was nearly shouting. ''Don't you dare question my actions, i'll send you straight to the airlock you minmatar reject, i did it manually to make sure he knew it wouldn't be easy to get all this way in the navy without a little pain''. Gregor insisted. Farin gave him an angry stare and stormed off.
Oni cried his eyes out, but bit his pillow to stop the two men from hearing. ''Why?'' he sobbed, ''why?''
