A few minutes passed with them walking down the facility grounds, they walked past many rooms with labels on them, no one dared speak or as much as cough they followed the cold officer in eerie silence.
Alto did not show much interest in anything that was until they went past the hanger, they were walking down one of the halls, the walls made of hard steel, to their left was a meter long wall of hard tempered glass and at the other side of the glass was a huge hanger space filled with "MECHS". Alto was not the only one amazed, everyone was. For the first time in Alto's life he felt deeply excited, seeing the mechs beneath, their metal exoskeleton painted and polished in different colours, he could see some engineers taking apart a Mechs arm. He could see some mech pilots testing out the flight system of their mechs. Watching the image of living metal men walking around felt like watching a fashion show with people dressed as Mechs and not in exotic clothing.
Officer Shirley spoke. "This is a rare coincidence, these are all pilots returning from battle to restore their mechs to the most optimum functionality. They will be watching your displays to pass time and perhaps give out some advice to the useful tools here."
Alto could not take his eyes off the huge, small and shiny mechs. He could not wait to slip into the cockpit of one and ride it. And the chance to display his skill before live pilots was exhilarating— a drop of sweat trickled down the side of his face. He felt the pressure double on him. "Don't screw up, don't screw up." He told himself.
Amy noticed his discomfort and slapped him on the chest lightly. "I've got your back so chin up Al." She locked eyes with him and for a moment they softened.
Alto felt his cheek flush but he nodded and said. "Right."
Kram butt his head in their middle and said. "Get a room and hook up already."
They both pulled away from each other leaving Kram to gloat over his deed. They soon reached the examination room where they were lined up before a huge cart with a heap of black suits all piled up. At a corner of the room we're more than a dozen officers working on the computers and terminals not giving the genotes a moment of attention, though there was one or two occasional glares.
Officer Shirley walked forward to meet some of the personnel working on the computers and leaving them with a few words. "I advice you to change into the battle suits as soon as possible, when I return the test will finally begin."
They all stood there for a moment in deep confusion.
"Do you mean to "change"? As in right now, with everyone watching?" Asked one of the male genotes.
The officer did not respond to them as he walked away giving them a moment to reminiscence on what he had said.
"But what of us girls, we can't just strip." Said one of the anxious female genotes. A few boys chuckled at the thought of it.
No one moved for a short while so they were shocked when two figures darted forward and their hands reached the pile in a moment and they were Amy and Kram. There was not a hint of hesitation in their eyes, Kram grinned and kicked the trolley over sending all of the battle suits falling on the ground. Soon after chaos erupted as everyone scrambled to the ground fearing that the suits would not go around.
Alto stood behind still confused and frozen by fear, seeing everyone scrambling like animals put him off. He felt he would be trampled to death if he stepped into that stampede.
He felt something drop on his shoulder and looked to see a battle suit nestling there. "Alto, put that on now!" He looked back to see Amy undressing. Apparently she had picked two battle suits from the start, instead of feeling deeply moved he was distracted by her most endearing quality being her small plump breast. She had taken off her top to reveal her top naked half, Alto's heart skipped a beat. He was seeing Amy naked for the first time, he did not how to react again as his brain focused on one thing— her breast and nipples.
She was standing with her side to him but he could see enough from his angle, her stomach was flat and smooth, her physique was more curvy than he thought showing small signs of muscles underneath. Locks of red hair touched her chin.
"Alto!!" She screamed at him in a loud voice that commanded power causing him to startle. He looked at her eyes unsure if she was angry that he saw her naked or that he was not yet wearing his battle suit.
"You can do this, hurry up and burn this memory into your mind." He told himself as he started to undress also as he was just about putting on his battle suit he looked to see others in a similar situation. Seeing a bunch of boys and girls naked was a rare feast to his eyes, a lustful side of himself he had not seen seemed to awaken in that instant. Looking up at Amy he found her eyes on him causing his face to flush, she had seen him naked.
Strangely her eyes seemed to be looking for something on him, her gaze only deepened for a moment before she looked away and smirked.
He watched her reach for her pants, his muscles tensed as his eyes oogled at her. She pushed down her pants and his breath got stuck on his throat then someone stepped in before him obstructing his view. Alto cursed under his breath, by the time he looked over again she was already done but Alto could not help but feel cheated. Robbed of the royal glory of youth.
