(Everyone has their backstories, yeah!  This scene takes place in the past. If yo can't tell whose perspective this is from, it's Shale's.)

Everything was... dark, and I couldn't see a thing. I couldn't move, I couldn't see, I couldn't feel. But, I heard something, a loud, metalic sound that woke me up. The world started to become clearer and I found myself in this weird chamber. After a few minutes of these noices, the chamber opened, and I walked right out. These two gems looked at me and then at each other. One of them was intensely writing down notes and the other looked at a clipboard he had.

Scientist 1: Alright, mineral 184, otherwise known as... "Shale". You have been assigned the job as a "soilder." If you do your job right and impress us, you will be able to rise the ranks of our men and maybe even become a hero in the eyes of our glourious Homeworld.

"Hero"? That sounded nice. It has some sort of ring to it, it... it makes me proud... I want to be a hero, especially for the Homeworld. There were so many things I should've been questioning, but I was blissfully ignorant to them.
