New Chapter:
A flashback to when Jun made history!
âWhat, do you think they should join?â Scruffyâs scowl bored into Jun.
âI donât see how it would be different from any other branch.â The new recruit answered, before eating a forkful of broccoli. It needed salt.
âYeahâŚâ The plain guy spoke up. âThe other branches are doing fine.â
âThe other branches donât have to worry about an XX mutation.â Scruffy Guy replied smugly.
Just then, a tray slammed down beside Jun.
âI heard that the radiation waves beyond Mars would make them infirtile.â The trayâs owner, a middle-aged man, joined into the conversation as if he was always there.
âWhy?â asked Jun.
âIt was proven.â Scruffy Guy looked at the rookie incredulously. âDoes the name Mason Connery ring a bell?â
âYeah, I know about that guy. I know what he said.â The dark-haired ranger ate a spoonful of mashed potatoes. âBut it doesnât make sense to me. If X chromosomes were an issue, then weâd all be in trouble.
âYou wouldnât understand. Our Y chromosome is what protects us from the radiogenetic alteration.â
Our. Us. Good. People were buying it. Jun saw an opportunity to change some minds. If people accepted the rookie as one of their own, maybe theyâd listen.
