You were born into this world on a cool October morning on a lesser know farming planet. Not much has been expected of you, 70% of this planets population are farmers and only 45% of them ever finish schooling. Past that only 5% of those born here ever leave.
But let's come back to that in a minute.
Roughly 300 years ago a biotech company had invented something revolutionary. Humanity had been on the edge of evolution and this would pull them through. It was a neural implant that would aid the human body. It regulated chemicals in the brain and organs, eliminating some disorders entirly. Things like depression became less and less prevelent.
It had a processing unit that helped the human brain complete complex calculations that once could only be done by sevants. The device was also able to connect to other devices eliminating the need for bulky computers, now all the hardrive space anyone would ever need was stored in their own heads.
Later down the line implants in the muscles and spine were created to connect with the brain implants, these created faster reaction speeds, repaired destroyed tissues, and increased strength or flexibility.
By the day of your birth humanity was a race of cyborgs, normal people would be given implants within the first week of their lives and continue to receive implants until they reached maturity. Some planets even required implantation, but most offered it covered under free preventative healthcare.
Your planet however has been slow to change. The clinic you were born in had the equipment to implant you but your body rejected it. You suffer from an uncommon "disability" in which your nerves refuse to make connections with any implants.
Your parents were in the upper middle class and were devastated to find out about your disability thinking you would be destined to stay on the farms working fields till the end of your days. But fate had a different plan for you, you were able to pass classes staying in the top half of students (something "natural born" people are rarely capable of). You kept good grades and even advanced into the second set or schooling. (We would call it highschool) only 45% of people made it through the first years to be allowed to advance to these special classes. Your folks, of course, were more than ecstatic to advance you since you had exceeded anything they had ever though you were able to do.
You would end up passing through second school over coming challenges and diversity (modified or chipped children segregated themselves from natural born ones). You passed classes with difficulty but you persevered.
You have finished your last days of second school and are walking home, you have passed through the city market and were even given one of Ms. Tracey's apples as a gift. You take your last bite from the delicious fruit as you round the corner of the road and come to the bottom of your parents long drive way. They will be so excited.
What do you do?
A- go home and tell them you finaly finished school
B- Sneak around back and try to surprise them
C- Grab your bike and head over to Frank's house to celebrate
D- Something different?
