[READ THIS FIRST: First of all I want to say that the story have NOTHING taken from the "lore" of planetside 2". This is just a FAN STORY about how it could have been if you were going to join up"
--------------------------------------------
It was late in the month of November and and the rain was hitting him hard where he stood in the line to the orbital space elevator, Every minute a new shuttle was going up thru the sky and out in orbit where the Terran republic space shuttles were docked.

Every second he stood out there in the cold rain looking at the young boys around him and the elevators going up above his head he got more and more sure about his choice.

He had been thinking of joining the Terran Republic for a long time now.
Every building in the city he grew up in now had huge bill boards with the words:
"Join the Terran Republic and fight for a safe future".

In the beginning he didn't`t care at all what they said, But the more and more he heard people talk on the subways or in the line at the local food store he started to think.

Words like " What if the NC terrorists bomb the earth?" or if the Vanu that he heard now fought without mercy on the planet of araxis decided to force the Terran republic to there kneed under there "new future", But who's future?

The more he heard the more he started to think, And when his old class mates from school joined up he realized that he also had to join up, Not because that his friends now stood in the line in front of him, But instead of the fear of what would happen if the words that were spoken in the food line or subway would be realized.

NEXT - He heard the man in the door say, The line slowly moved forward, Two people more and then it was his turn. He remembered his reaction on his mother when he got home that day and told her that he was going to join up with the Terran Forces on araxis. She started to cry and asked him why, She didn't understand at all and told him that it was a suicide going there, Yes they had now the technology to "respawn" a dead soldier. But she told him that as a mother, only to know that her son have died is hard enuff .

After awhile she had understood that if the Terran army didn't fight there would be a future on earth that would either be lawless and ruled by the people with the biggest guns or a country that didn't listen to there people but instead placed there trust in technology might hoping it would save them.

She the said to him: Its your choice but remember, I wont be here for ever.
Next day he had walked to the Terran Republic space shuttle station where he now stood in line, Waiting for his turn.

NEXT!! The man in the doorway moved over so that one more could pass and soon after that a new shuttle left earth, Now he was first in line, Glad that he had escaped the heavy rain that was poring down outside. He now entered a big hall with metallic floor and ceiling, posters hanged along both walls with picture of happy TR soldiers saying: We want YOU.

At the end of the hall he was met by a tall figure. The man was probably around his 30is but looked like 50. He was a well build man standing in a shiny TR heavy armor and medals on his chest. But even the shiny armor and the hologram medals couldn't hide his huge scar going from his left ear down to his mouth and an other going over his right eye and down over his nose.

As he passed him the man glared at him and said, Welcome to the meat grinder soldier and then pointed towards a door behind him.

Meet grinder he thought 4 him self before he opened the door and went in.
On the other side there were two tables with what looked like medical staff standing at each of them. The first person at the table look at him when he entered the door and waved him forward.

"Get over here and hurry upp!" He said, Almost like he was so tired of standing there sending people to the "meat grinder" he thought for him self.

"Age?" Answer quickly the man said: He answered 29 soon 30 while at the same time he tried to peak on what he wrote down on his computer in front of him.

"Medical history?" Non SIR he said with a glaring smile hoping to show off that he was some what not the guy that could be ordered around by a clerk.

The man looked up on him and without saying a word or taking notice of his glaring smile just pointed towards the next table.

At the next table there wasn`t`t a "doctor" standing by but instead a young man with fake legs of titanium, He couldn't help but look at them wondering what had happened to the barley 18 year old boy, But before he even had the time to reflect he was told to answer more questions.

"How tall are you? How much is your Wight, Feet size."
He answered the questions as fast that he heard the man say them and as a thank you he got a hologram card with a nr 57 hovering above.

He asked the person where to go next and without even saying a word the young boy just pointed towards two doors at the far end of the room.
But the second he turned around he grabbed his arm and whispered:

Be rdy - Because you are going to fight in hell.
