Summer entered the arch way of what looked like to be a military boot camp site, but it wasn't. In order to achieve high ranking in APCARP, you had to prove you had strong powers, and Summer was determined.
Summer walked in with a duffel bag full of clothes, and sugar hopefully enough to help her with her experience here. She looked around to see if anyone else had come to achieve high ranking as well. She didn't see anyone familiar at the moment so she pressed on to register at the office.
She arrived there shortly, and grabbed a form and began filling it out "Alright... name.... age....." She silently listed everything she had to fill out. When she finished she kindly handed it to the man at the desk and smiled.
"You'll be lucky to be this happy at the end of it..." he said with a grim smile.

A woman, trailing elegant orange silk scarfs like a dancing flame behind her, appeared in the entryway. She accepted a form gratiously.
She then turned to Summer. "Hello. Who might you be? I've never seen much of you around my missions." She flipped a strand of hair out of her eyes. "Let me guess. APCARP tossed you in the wrong power class initially, and now you have to work your way up. Same thing happened with me around your age."

"My name is Summer, I am from..." She paused wondering if it was even worth it. "From a different planet, I crash landed here. Your earth seems to have a slowing effect on my powers, so they are very weak, so I figured if I was forced to use them, and go beyond my capability, and be strong here, then I will be even stronger on my home planet. And... who might you be?" She asked puzzled by the sudden appearence of the flame scarf lady.

"Ah. An alien? That explains why APCARP doesn't treat you so well. They tend to be leery of nonhumans. You know, intelligence-enhanced animals, aliens, robots, chimeras of sorts... They usually give 'em a lower rank."
She gave a sigh. "By the way, my name is Toni. Codename's Phalarope. I'm a solarkinetic, Majestas class."

"Ah...." Summer said smiling "Though, I think with my influence, will definitley change the way APCARP discriminates." She held out her hand "I do think that you shake hands if you meet someone new correct?"

"Some people shake hands. Others simply sit aloof, hands in their pockets. It all depends on the person." Toni accepted the shake, giving Summer a very hearty reception, sending the shake along Summer's arm like a miniature seismic wave.
"I hope you do get a higher rank. APCARP started out as a fairly moral organization, but, according to the oldest powers, has gone astray since then."

Summer snickered "You are here for traning to?" she wondered why an older woman, would like to come to boot camp, but she was an alien why would she want to come. She knew the answer simply because she wanted to be a stronger person.
A man walked in "Good morning ladies, I will show you your way to your bunkers..." he said smiling. He ushered them out of the building, and they moved across a large lawn, to a place that looked like a dorm building. He opened the door "You two will be rooming with each other. It is our random selection routine."

"Good old APCARP efficiency." Toni noted with a joyous chuckle. "You could say I'm here for training. I'm trying to become the Powered Consultant for the director's board, the highest possible spot in APCARP for a Power. If I can get there, I can influence the board's decisions to help melt the impurities out of this organization."
"I just came here to learn a little more about our crop of Powers that are coming in, and our policies at the lower levels. As you can guess, a Majestas class doesn't get much guff in their proper setting.

Summer laughed "Well, will you be here long..." she realized that it was a stupid question, but she had to ask. "Cause, I think that I could use your support through this boot camp, I really need to feel like I have a friend." She smiled.
