• 1945 - 1955: The Start
  With the cold war going on between Russia and the US and the Vietnamwar becoming more and more vile, the United Nations decided they needed to find a way to protect civilians. Both from wars, but also from natural disasters. World leaders and other political important people met up with all kind of specialists on every field there was during the roaring '60. Eventually Project Team Extra-ordinary Talents and Special Abilities (Project TETSA for short) was setup. The Project had one Academy where young children would be selected after some intense screening. They were screened on intelligence, behaviour, physical strenght and endurance. The idea was to have an United Army that would go above the differences between countries and purely focus on what would be best for the civillians that were caught between warzones.
  
  1955-1979: The First Gen
  After setting up the Facility and building up everything. The first children were accepted in 1961 after intense screening, the last group was admitted in 1969. Only the best of the best would be let into the academy. The Academy would provide them with all schooling and training they needed to become the perfect soldiers. Soldiers that were strong, physical and mentally. Soldiers that would not be afraid and that would keep their calm. They would save civillians in times of needs and stay out of direct conflicts.
  
  1980-1989: The Second Gen
  With the previous generation of soldiers turning 20, a new selection process was started. It was too much trouble to go through all the necessary screening and it took too much valuable time and money. Simply not enough people would come through the tests. This let to the decision the Academy should be opened to all people and throughout the training the good soldiers could be seperated from the less achieving ones. Another big change in the second generation soldiers was that they were given a number instead of a name. This would hopefully keep them better connected to the cause, in reality it was just to give those who pulled the ropes a peace of mind. It was easier to send some random number to their death than people with names and faces. There was no socializing anymore. Emotions and feelings were banned. Their life was purely focussing on training the perfect soldiers that would protect civillians at all costs and would never question authority. Half way through the second generation it became obvious that, despite perfect training and scores, the soldiers were still normal humans and thus died pretty easily. Which was not really favorable if you wanted to have super soldiers to protect civilians. This lead to more research in the medical department and a big break through in 1989.
  
  1990 - 2015: The Third Gen
  Thus the third generation came around. The 90's babies. A different kind of selection again that prayed on the weak willed. They took in kids that were dumped and left by their parents. They bought kids from parents that had no funds to give their kid a future. Or they talked with the parents that dealt with unwanted or unplanned pregnancies. They selected the unwanted and thus the ones that would not be missed. Either way the parents ended up with quite a sum of money for giving up their baby. By the time they reached their sixth year at the Academy they were injected with a serum. The green serum that was ment to make them more durable and give them a quicker healing. Next to the green serum, there was also a green cream that could be used to heal whatever 'shallow' wound the soldiers had, such as second degree burns, cuts that went to the bone and of course bulletwounds. The green cream cannot heal broken bones or ripped organs.
  
  2015 - 2019: The End
  Now the 21st century came around and the United Nations decided that Project TETSA was pretty much unethical. It was unfair to rip babies from their families and train them to become super soldiers, without letting them have any say in it. Everyone should be allowed a normal childhood and life, something that was without question not the case for those that were part of Project TETSA. The Project was shut down. However that raised the question what to do with the current soldiers? These soldiers would have to be accepted into a society that they did not know how to participate in. So a new project was started, with a very original name: Project Team Extra-ordinary Talents and Special Abilities Rehabiliation (Project TETSAR for short).
  
  2020: Project TETSAR
  For Project TETSAR all of the world individuals were selected to take in and mentor one of the former TETSA-members to teach them how to behave in public, to teach them how to cook, how a smartphone worked, but also what feelings and emotions are. Since that was the whole trick of TETSA, taking away emotions that would get in the way of succesfully completing an assingment or mission. The mentor and their soldier will be living in a two bedroom appartement in a complex with the other mentors and soldiers. For the first half year everything will be arranged they can think of. Mentors are free to make their own plan on how they wish to help their soldier back into society. And the mentors even get quite a hefty sum of money for every week they are part of Project TETSAR.
  
  
• The Academy is the most imporant part of Project TETSA. This is were the soldiers went through their training and spend the first two decades of their life. After the Academy they were send off to the Facility, where they could live the rest of their life. The Academy was supported by the United Nations and had the best and the most strict training ever known to military. To become a professor or trainers at the Academy was really a great honor. Professors and trainers mostly came from the military, navy, airforce, police or several intelligence services (CIA, MI6 etc). So there was a diverse world wide coverage, yet at the same time everyone came from the same niche more or less.
  
  From the moment a baby arrives at the Academy, feelings and emotions and other urges shall not be adressed or given any attention to. The solders are trained to, at all times, make the most logical, strategic and benefitial decision. For the civillians. This means they have to be ready to put themselves at great risks, and even be willing to sacrifice themselves to the greater good. They are trained to be superior soldiers, not humans. This means that they are completely brought up in a different world from the civillian life. They have no access to fiction (this included tv, books, movies, series etc), no music, no internet, no social media, no art etc. All information that is shared with them will be purely military and political information. This to make sure they will not be led to believe it is okay to give into their 'primal' urges.
  
  Breakfast, lunch and dinner is always spend together. Each year has their own table to sit at. The food itself is rather bland and not fancy. It is meant to be as nutricious as possible and has everything the soldiers needs. It is nothing like 'civilian' food. Most of it are soups or looks a bit like a mashed together mix of food. However since they have been eating this from the day they started to eat, they don't know any better. Even on missions they mostly have their canned soups and powders to make sure they get all their nutriciouns and are not allowed to eat civilian food.
  
  Birthdays are 'celebrated' once a year. Of course the soldiers are aware of growing older and each year brings them up in the new year of their training. So 31 december all 'birthdays' are celebrated at once. The soldiers have been told that that is what New Years celebrations are for. That civillians are celebrating their birthdays then and everyone being happy about being a year older, a year wiser. Depending on when a soldier is born (their birthday and parents are known to the leaders but kept very secret) the celebrations start right that December or the following December. After that every year they go one year up, both in age as in their training classes. If they have been brought in on or before June 30th, they go up right the first year. If they are brought in on or after July first, then they go up the year after.

  • From the moment the soldiers are selected or accepted into the facility, all their information is completely wiped to make sure they really start point-blanc. Only the necessary background information about their parents is kept, but stored away outside of the soldiers file. For the first six years of their life, the kids are actually allowed to be kids, more or less. All the toys they have are ment to be educational and they are kept into a strict regime, but there is no training yet. The kids are kept in groups of 15 max, both during playtime and while sleeping. More or less until they turn six, their life is pretty ordinary. Except for the fact that they are entertained in different ways and have little interaction with emotions. All their interactions is with trained professionals and only ment to keep them alive and healthy.
    
    The first six years are ment to make the kids familiar with the regime they will be living through the rest of their life. Of course, it is a bit more flexible in the first years, due to childrens needs being different throughout the first years. However they mostly do try to follow the general schedule of their whole life. From the age of four, the children are suppose to be dressing themselves and be able to keep their closet clean and neatly. They will have to do their own bathroom routine without any help. Cleaning their part of the room and making their beds perfectly is also taught in this period of their life.
    
  • The second period of their Acacemy life starts with the green injections, which will give them faster regeneration of cells, thus faster healing and more durability. Over the years it has been known that these injections had other side effects as well, though not everyone shared in these benefits at all. And if they did, the outcome could be different with everyone. It ranged from enhanced senses to quicked reflexes or increased memory skills. No negative side effects, other than completely incapable of feeling pain, has been added to the list yet. And even this one, didn't develop into every soldier. There was no way to predict why these side effects came to be or how they showed themselves on beforehand. There was no further research done to it, since it was mostly benefitical if it developped.
    
    This period is also the most important part of their life and future. In these six years their preferences and talents are screened and scaled. They are slowly pushed into whatever role they will have that comes most naturally to them. Their schooling further more is not much different from civillians, other than that much more is expected from them at a much younger age. Also some stuff that is deemed unncessary is left out of the curriculums. Outside of their classes they also have physical training, fighting classes and weaponary classes. All of this is pretty much still at the bases, but they will get a broad base of all kinds of fighting and weapons. This to make sure they have a basic knowledge of how to act in all kind of situations.
    
    During this period the living conditions also change for them. No longer ware they with one big group in one big room. They are all paired up in bunkbed rooms. Together they are responsible for their rooms, but also for each other. For example if soldier A and soldier B are roommates and only soldier B is late for classes, both soldiers will be reprimanded. So misbehaving will have consequences for both soldiers that share a room. Yet it also works the other way around. If soldier B had shown some extraordinary skills, both soldier A en soldier B can be rewarded for that. This in order to teach responsibility and solidarity, but also to teach them supporting eachother and to call eachother out.
    
  • This is the last period of their Academy life. In this period they will focus on their role and their prefered styles with fighting and weaponary. They will primarily focus on their first role and first choices, but also get trained in their second choices. The more all around a soldier is the more benefiticial that is after all. Next to military training they also get classes in all kind of subjects that will help them be better in their job. This is all giving at college-level degrees. So a lot is expected from them at this still young age. In these six years they are also trained in all kinds of different transports and their basic medical knowledge so they can provide first aid in warzones and during crisis situations. Everyone gets a basic transport and medical training. Dependig what role they have been given, these classes might be more intense and heavier than just basic training.
    
    Their rooms are still shared with the same person they have been paired up at six years. No matter what their roles or preferences might be. They still are reprimanded and rewarded the same way, so they are still responsible for each other. The only change it that they have no longer bunkbeds but each single beds. They are also encouraged to exchange their knowledge and help each other get better and achieve better results. This is all meant to help them with teamwork for when they are out on missions and assignments. After all chances are that they will have to work together with other soldiers with different roles.
    
    At sixteen they are selected into teams. Each team will be closely working together and will mostly be send together on missions. Assignments however can be individuel. Each team has one Intelligence, one Medic, one Mechanic and one Gunner. These are rather general divisions so several roles can be put together and not one team would be the same. The teams are selected based on screening and results of the soldiers. Mostly from this moment on the teams will draw closely together as in the field they will have to be able to fully depend on each other.
    
  
  
• The Facility was created during the training of the First Gen. After all the soldiers would need a place to stay after they finished their training at the Academy. The Facility was more or less an luxurious appartement building where the soldiers had everything they could possible need. There are three main Facilities and several smaller ones all over the world. The main facilities are in San Diego (United States), St. Petersburg (Russia) and Tokyo (Japan). Smaller ones are littered all over the world and house mostly up to 12 soldiers (three teams) max. The main Facility have between 200 and 250 rooms.
  
  The Facility mostly works the same as the Academy. The soldiers stay here 24/7, unless they are deployed on a mission or asssignment. The food is still the same and eaten together in the big lunchrooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is still served at the exact same times. There is still a 6 AM alarm and a 9PM curfew with all lights going off at 10PM. The only difference is living conditions. Each soldier has his own room and they are no longer dependent on a roommate or something like that. They are fully responsible for their own actions and their own alone. Furthermore the soldiers can use all other time however they want. Most will spend it on (new) trainings or on the shooting range or the luxurious gyms, pool or even one of the obstacleruns. Either alone or with their old buddy or their team.
  
  The Facility also has a hospital wing for wounded and injured soldiers. The Facility has its own top notch medical team and contacts all over the world in case a specialist is needed. The deviced in the hospital are far more advanced than in the civillian hospitals. They are perfectly capable of using 3D printing for organs that are fully accepted by the soldiers bodies. They can heal wounds that would not be possible under normal civillian circumstances. This all thanks to a wonderful thing known as the green cream and green injections. The only thing that they cannot heal (yet) are dismembered bodyparts and braindamage. Pretty much everything else can be healed up in a rather short time period as well.
  
• Intelligence
  Intelligence use the information to determine changes in enemy capabilities, vulnerabilities, and probable courses of action. They gather this information by observing the situation closely, but also by infiltrating if necessary.
  
  Roles
  Spy - mostly closeby observation and by infiltrating into the enemy forces.
  Hacker - obtains information through different devices and by corrupting digital files.
  Observant - observation from a distance and over longer periods.
  Navigator - responsible for planning out the best, quickest or shortest route to the point of destination and getting the team there.
  
  Medic
  They are responsible for medical care and treatment to their team, or other teams, as well as indigenous population where deployed. They are experts in trauma medicine and can preform surgeries under the least ideal circumstances
  
  Roles
  Pharmacist - gives guidance on distributing medical suppliers and pharmaceutical care.
  Physiotherapist - treats and rehabilitate soldiers with musculoskeletal injuries.
  Biomedical - testing blood for diseases and malfunctions of the human body.
  Doctor - general knowledge of the human body and surgeries.
  
  Mechanic
  These are specialists across a wide range of disciplines, from demolitions and constructions of field fortifications to topographic survey techniques.
  
  Roles
  Transport - responsible for transferring passengers, cargo, and equipment to and from air, land and water transport by manual and mechanical methods.
  Navigator - responsible for planning out the best, quickest or shortest route to the point of destination and getting the team there.
  Driver - responsible for driving whatever vehicle is necessary to the point of destination under any circumstances.
  Engineer - responsible for repairing and maintance of devices, vehicles, engines, communication.
  Bomber - responsible for finding and deactivating bombs, mines etc.
  
  Gunner
  Gunners employ individual domestic, foreign small arms, light and heavy crew-served weapons, anti-aircraft and anti-armor weapons.
  
  Roles
  Infantry - uses light weaponary and is much on the ground and on the move.
  Sniper - takes care of specific targets over a great distance with precision.
  Missiles - uses the heavy weaponary over longer distances but also automatic weaponry.
  Bomber - responsible for finding and deactivating bombs, mines etc.

• The Shelter
• Shared Places
• Appartement
• Mentor Info
• Soldier Info

• The Shelter is the name of the place where the soldiers and their mentors will be staying. It is a fancy modern city in the center of Seattle, Washington. It has 66 appartements and is thus home for 132 people. Each soldier has been matched with one mentor. This mentor will be fully responsible for their soldier, both for their progress as well as for their actions, until the end of the Project. Of course, the mentors will be given directions and a plan to work with with all the milestones, goals, assignments and things the soldiers will have to learn. However a lot more trouble might come along the way. It will not be an easy task with these men and women that known literally nothing of civilian life.
  
  On the first floor of the Shelter will be all the shared rooms. Here mentors and soldiers can mix and mingle to train social interaction, but also for fun and for certain group activities. The appartements can only be entered by the mentor and soldier, though other people can be invited as well. Furthermore it are normal appartements with locks, so locks can be picked, keys can be lost and what all not. But in general the appartement belongs to the soldier and their mentor. All appartements are exactly the same. Same size, same facilities, same colors. The only difference might be that the layout of the appartement is mirrored compared to its neighbour.
  
  Rent will be paid by the Facility and is all inclusive of power, internet, water and what all not. Groceries shall be delivered for the first few weeks, until soldiers seem fit to go outside. Also then food and drinks will be fully paid by the facility, as long as the receipts are kept and turned in. Same goes for any gasmoney or public transport costs. These benefits will all last for the first six months, after that mentors and soldiers are expected to be able to provide for themselves. Rent will be all inclusivesly paid for the first year and after that new agreements may be made with the mentor and/or soldier about the appartement.
  
• Diner room
  Definitely since the soldiers are used to the big aulas from the Facility, it has been decided to incorporate that into the Shelter as well. Mentors and soldiers are free to chose whether they want to eat here or not. It is definitely advised to do so for the first week, so the soldier doesn't have to learn to deal with too much changes at once.
  
  Living room
  There is one big living room or hangout place or whatever you want to call it for the soldiers and mentors. There will be board games and cards available to play. Everyone is free to use this room whenever they want and how ever they want.
  
  Gym
  Of course the Shelter will have a gym. The work out regime is probably still very dominant within the soldiers, plus it is very healthy to work out. It will give both mentors and soldiers something to do. The gym also includes a big pool with one part for rectreational swimming and playing and one part for more serious swimming. Though not shown on the pictures, the gym also includes a space for training and keeping up fightsports and even a few rings for some sparring.
  
  Meeting room
  Not used for business meetings, but when all soldiers and mentors need to be informed or instructed about something. Also the group sessions will be held here, though not will all soldiers and mentors at once of course. Every floor will have their own groupsessions and meetings. There will be a schedule available when which pairs are suppose to attend. This is also important for the tracking of the project progress and to see if this pilot will be a success.

• Like mentioned before every soldier/mentor pair will have their own appartement. Both the mentor and the soldier will get a key to it. All appartments are the same and have the same faciliteis to start with. This however doesn't mean that the soldier or mentor is not allowed to decorate it or change the colors. This will be their home for the upcoming months, so they are allowed to do with it as they please. However big changes will have to be discussed with the board. This includes new furniture or a different bathroom or kitchen layout. Painting the walls or adding some paintings or posters or such are not considered big changes.
  
  Bedroom
  The Appartement comes with two bedrooms. One for the soldier and one for the mentor. Both bedrooms have one big queensized bed and a wardrobe (with modern casual clothing for the soldiers). There is room to add a desk or couch, or whatever if wanted. Both bedrooms have one side with glass and sliding door that gives access to the balcony.
  
  Livingspace
  It is an open set up with a livingroom, dining table and open kitchen. The living room has an nice L shaped couch with a big screen tv. If requested game consoles can be set up. The kitchen has an oven, a microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

• So what do the mentors know about the whole project? Not that much. They know they will be working with some elite troup soldiers. They know that these are very special and high trained and skilled soldiers. However they have no idea of the fact these soldiers have done nothing else their whole life. They have no idea about how little emotional development they have had. They certainly have no idea of how many civillian skills the soldiers will be lacking in.
  
  What do the mentors now about the soldiers? They have been given the file (=application/cs) of the soldier that they are paired up with. They do not have any more information about the soldier they will be working with. They have absolutely no knowledge on the other soldiers (unless the mentor shared the files. Which they are told not to do.) They also do know about the trigger commands that the soldiers are brought up with (Protect, Kill, Back Up) and adviced not to use this and if only when absolutely necessary.
  
  Along with the above information the mentors are also given a progress file. In this file they can find certain goals and milestones the soldiers will have reach. It gives an overall plan on what to do. The how to will be taught to them in group session or they can figure out themselves. In this file the schedule for the group sessions is included. As well as certain group outings. Wheter or not the soldier is ready for such things lays in the mentors hands.
  
• Soldiers have been notified about the end of Project TETSA. However this has led to several different responses. Most of the soldiers don't really understand what this means for them. They have known nothing else than missions, assignments and war. Some see this life at the Shelter as a new training, a new assignment. Others may be unhappy and would rather go out to their warzones and soldierlife. Despite their opinions, they are all cooperative to the Project TETSAR, like they were taught. They will most liely view the mentor as some higher up that they have to obey.
  
  From the start of their lives the soldiers have been learned three trigger commands. These commands will overrule every other command or urge. These three commands are: Protect, Kill and Back Up. To give such a command, someone has first to say the full number followed by the command and the target if it is a protect or kill command. Back Up is used to make a soldier completely go into neutral, no matter what situation they have been in. If they are in the mids of a fight they might avoid direct hits, but that is about it. Kill followed by a target description or name will trigger the soldier to kill the target as quick and clean as possible. Protect followed by a target description or name will make the soldier completely focussed on keeping the target save, no matter the consquences for himself. Despite not having a strict regime or any curfews anymore, soldiers may still hold onto what they know.
  
  Civillian things that may be causing problems:
  

  1. Traffic rules
     Even though they know how to drive several vehicles. However this does not mean they know the traffic rules. After all, traffic rules are not really a priority in warzones.
  2. Cooking
     They have never cooked in their life. They have always eaten whatever was given to them. The only food they ever prepared would be on missions and were mostly shakes or powders.
  3. Money
     They just have no experience with this. There was never a need for them to use this, since everything is taken care of.
  4. Phones, tablets, television and modern devices in general
     Of course they know the basic use. They can call and text. But other functions they have never heard of, let alone, used. Tablets they only know as a device to read information up (e-book idea) and then their experience stops. They are familiar with presentations on a whiteboard for briefings and such. However televisions are new to them, so would be watching television.
  5. Internet / social media
     There simply has never been an need for them to get used to this. The soldiers have never heard of the social medias and will not know what they are or how to use them. Things as instagram, snapchat, twitter, facebook doesn't sound familiar to them. Even youtube or netflix is one big question mark for them.
  6. Slang
     It has just never occured to teach this to the soldiers. They do have their slang/jargon, but that is nothing like the modern day slang. They are however familiar with saying (like 'curiosity killed the cat' and such.) However correct usage of this maybe struggling.
  7. Sex and lust
     They have no real connection with their feelings and urges. So also sex and lust is pretty much unknown to them. Of course they will have physical reactions to certain actions and they have had biology classes. So they know about sex and reproduction, but they are unfamiliar with sex for pleasure or intimacy. Since they are only brought up with biological sex use for reproduction, they have no idea about any different sexualiies and even less about non-binary or anything.
  8. Music, art and reading
     Obviously the soldiers can read, but they only have ever read files or study books. They are not used to the reading for entertainment. Also while they have heard music here and there, they have never enjoyed it themselves and are not familiar with big music trends. Or even what music genres are. Same goes for art, movies, series and so on. They haven't had that kind of entertainment at all.
  9. Birthdays (or other celebrations)
     The soldiers have never celebrated anything in their life. Even the big victories were just a simple pat on the back and a 'well done' and that was it. If you were lucky it involved ranking up, but other than that nothing. They absolutely have no idea what the holidays are, and even less of a clue about birthdays.
  10. and so on...
