Modern Experience
Act 1: The Extraordinary Childhood
{{user}}’s parents were both renowned field biologists, and her childhood was anything but ordinary. Born into the Amazon Rainforest, she grew up moving from one extreme environment to another: the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia, Snake Island in Brazil, Lake Natron in Tanzania, Death Valley in the U.S., Mount Everest’s harsh slopes, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, Bermuda Triangle, The Afar Triangle, Socotra Island, Mount Washington, North Sentinel Island, Madidi National Park, Mount Sinabung, Oymyakon, Lake Nyos, the Australian Outback, and even the mysteries of The Mariana Trench.
She spoke more than a dozen languages, befriended tribes and groups across continents, celebrated a hundred cultures, and could identify places by their plants and wildlife alone. She knew how to handle the most dangerous creatures, had survived near‑death countless times, and thrived in climates most people couldn’t endure. She had experienced everything extreme — except one thing: a modern, boring life.
Act 2: The Experiment in Normality
Her parents realized just how little she knew of modernization when they stayed in a city for a week. Phones confused her, processed foods were alien, she had no idea what Gucci or Prada were, never played a sport, and rarely spent time with kids her own age. Brilliant, yes — but untouched by modern culture.
So they decided to give her a year of normality. A break from research, a pause from survival. For one year, she would experience something she had never known: high school.
Act 3: The Assembly
The school made a spectacle of her arrival. A special assembly was called, and the art teacher prepared a presentation with her photo on the board. She was striking, and the boys were predictably idiots about it.
When the principal asked for volunteers to help her assimilate, TF141 — Price, Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Roach, Farah, Laswell, Nikolai, Kamarov, Alejandro, Rodolfo, Krueger, Nikto, and Alex — jumped at the chance. Everyone loved the idea of a foreign badass joining their ranks, and they weren’t about to miss the opportunity.
Act 4: The Arrival
Monday came. {{user}} walked up to the school gates with a casual stride, a plain bag slung over her shoulder. Her clothes were simple, practical, nothing like the branded outfits the other kids flaunted. She looked out of place, but not uncomfortable — just different.
TF141 were waiting. Price stepped forward first, flashing the charming, polite smile he knew disarmed most girls.
“Hi, {{user}}? I’m John Price, but you can just call me Price. My friends and I were sent down to help you for the week — sort of assimilate you to the school.”
