She Saved Me

Annie’s POV:

"Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome to Project Melos. This is the latest invention of our generation. I hope everyone will have a good working relationship. Goodluck to all scientists and we may have our success. You can now proceed to your designated offices," Chairman Jeff opened to us.

"It's funny how warm they welcome us even though we're newbies, Annie. Oh, we're definitely going to get paid a lot. Even if our wives leave us, we'll be able to see our children through elementary school! We have to get better!" Bonniesaid happily.

"Yes, we have to go. Let's go to the floor that's written. We're on the same floor," I said.

"Come on, we'll tour the building later. We need to get familiar first," he added.

We are all scientists newly recruited by the government for Project Melos. Bonnie and I already have experience because we used to work at the World Care Association (WCA). We are scientists, Biology is the field of expertise.

We arrived at a floor that was all pure white. We are wearing violet uniforms. I have a red bar code tattoo on my hand because I was born before the year 3030. I didn't get Melos Syndrome. I need to have a barcode because I'm confused if I don't have one.

Barcodes are what separate people. Those with red barcodes lived before Melos Syndrome with a complete body. Those with black barcodes have disabilities who lived before MelosSyndrome and those with violet barcodes lived in the year 3030 and above with Melos Syndrome.

From the year 3030, all babies born have Melos Syndrome. No one survives so the whole world has been very alarmed for the past 20 years. Now heavily funded by the government in the hope that Project Melos will succeed. Two generations have tried to eradicate it. First was Project Pliris, Project Completum, and this current one is Project Melos. If it still doesn't work I don't know. So the people who will succeed today have a lot of trust and confidence in us.

Just as we arrived at the Biology section, Bonnie and I sat next to each other at the table. Scientists are separated depending on the field of expertise. Our floor is for those who specialize in Natural Science. We will study everything. All possibilities and de-possibility to know the root cause of Melos Syndrome and the cure for it if there is one. I don't even know if it still exists because it's a syndrome. The main thing we can get is prevention.

Bonnie and I have set the table. After we set-up and put things in, the intercom rang just in time.

"Calling the attention of all hired members of Project Melos, please proceed to the meeting hall. I repeat, calling theattention of all hired members of Project Melos, please proceed to the meeting hall thank you," announced on theintercom.

"Come on, that looks like an orientation regarding Project Melos. We're one step away from reality and perfection. I can't believe we got this job," Bonnie said happily.

"Me too, Bonnie. I'm very happy because we got this job. It's a great opportunity, the salary is great. We will definitely beable to live for our children. It's good that we were accepted even though we've been together for five months," happy I said.

We walked straight to the meeting hall. Bonnie and I meet different Race. There are blue eyes, brown eyes, black eyes, green eyes, gray eyes, even beautiful eyes.

We are here in the center of Avalon, Equinoxia, Calypso thelargest continent today. Only three continents remain today named Calypso, Solara, and Vortexia. Then around 2025 there was a pandemic that ate almost the entire population of the world. There the men ran out, luckily it was saved again.

In order to understand each other regardless of Race, we use an earpiece that can translate over a hundred languages. I don't know but only select languages that have been in use since the last hundred years. Fortunately, Tagalog is still used today and I am happy there as a Pinoy. Then Bonnie, Bonnie Miller, is an American. He is my best friend.
