Alien Cadets Trained to Compete Humans Trained for Real Challenges part 02 of 02
from Short SciFi Stories on the go · host Kelli Korner
Alien cadets trained to compete, humans trained for real challenges. The simulation ended in 13 seconds, not because the human won, because there was no battlefield left. And at the center of the destruction, stood one exhausted human cadet, breathing hard, bleeding from the forehead, still holding the broken remains of a combat rifle. Uneasy silence spread across the chamber, because every cadet in the Galactic War Academy had just witnessed something deeply unsettling. One phrase from Elias Mercer became required reading in every war academy across known space.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/little-scifi-stories-on-the-go--7033804/support.
