Getting picked for some top secret military mission really wasn’t how Ani had seen her life going. She had to admit that it was a pretty cool plot twist in her life, although she wasn’t sure if she’d ever be able to brag to anyone about this, the military guys she’d spoken with so far had been very clear about the ‘top secret’ aspect of the mission. She shrugged slightly as she walked down a hall towards the hangar, whatever this was about, it would definitely be more interesting than her last internship.<br/><br/>Eventually, Ani reached the end of the hallway that opened up into Hangar C and breathed a sigh of relief. She had nearly gotten lost twice and never would’ve forgiven herself if she was late for what was probably the coolest job offer of her life. Upon entering she paused a moment to get her bearings in the much larger room. The hangar was in chaos with everyone huddled together in different groups, whispering anxiously or barking out orders as they prepared for the meeting. No one really seemed to notice when she entered and she felt a brief stab of regret that she hadn’t worn high heels to make a louder entrance. The only person to notice her come in was her supervisor, Dr. Grey, an older woman who honestly looked like she might drop dead at any moment. She was discussing something with a group of scientists and looked up briefly to wave at Ani as she walked in. The group of scientists all turned to look at Ani and she stood up straighter, pushing her glasses up on her nose and giving her cockiest grin as she walked past them.<br/><br/>The general eventually called everyone to line up and gave his speech about their mission. Ani’s heart dropped, she hadn’t been told the specifics of the mission and it was getting harder to treat this like a cool promotion when the whole world was at stake. She tapped her foot anxiously.<span style="font-style: italic">This doesn’t change anything,</span>she told herself.<span style="font-style: italic">All this means is I’m the best future doctor in the world AND I’m gonna save the world. That’s like, twice as coo-</span><br/><br/>A loud crash interrupted her thoughts as an engineer dropped a crate into a hangar. Ani felt slightly bad for the engineer who clearly didn’t want to be there but couldn’t help laughing slightly at the entrance.<span style="font-style: italic">Damn, that would’ve been a good way to show up, I should’ve done that.</span><br/><br/>She watched as a man ran up to help her and it took a moment for the general’s words to click. Her eyes widened as she realized that they were two of the people she would be traveling with.<span style="font-style: italic"> Oh, I can already tell this’ll be a fun trip. </span>She glanced back at the general so see if he had anything else to say- it seemed like he did but Ani shrugged and headed over towards the two of them.
