The
Scions used to be the biggest threat, they came
out of nowhere on Pluto and decided to clam the
universe for themselves. I mean, what else do they
want, the universe is big for everyone. But we fought
and we made them turn tail and run.
This
was many years ago, and we have not heard anything
from them since, in fact it has been a little peaceful,
and life at the ISDF has never been so calm.
Sure
there have been rumours of something going on, but
that's what everybody thought, just rumours and
gossip. Children's tails to make them sleep and
do what there parents say.
No
one knew that a group of scientist where planning
there next big experiment. Something to do with
compressing the next boson partial into a matter
stream to open a gateway to other parts of space
to improve space travel for our new fleet of ships
that the scion war has happily helped us to make.
There
was the fighting side of the war, but there also
was the studying side. The Scions really never posed
a threat. The truth was hidden from everybody and
they just wanted an excuse to use the war to keep
money and funds poring into the project. Like in
the mid 20th century, new people would make a new
fuel source, but the big oil companies just bought
the plans to keep people buying the fuel, this was
no different, they made the war as it is, so they
can keep money coming in for their tests and fame.
This
travel will change everything in the universe. The
race that has this technology will have the power,
which was there goal. Me? They call me Cameron,
Nothing much, I signed on the ISDF about 1 year
ago, I had no job and was looking for adventure,
Commander is a job I would like to be, and chances
of getting that far is slim, only action will see
people like me taking the chance to be commander.
War brings out the best in people. The Scion war
made pilots into commanders so easily you would
have thought they came from a factory. But that
fame is short lived, a few heavy units and the base
is gone.
Me,
I was lucky, I heard about the war, so I escaped
that and I am still here to live. But far from the
truth I know there will be a serous battle, and
the basic resource of all…. Scrap… That is getting
harder to find. We all thought that scrap is easy
to find, but a scientist said that scrap is a natural
resource created when the universe was made. How
this happened and how it changed the way life goes
we do not know. But a scientist and technician found
a way to make a subastute. It looks the same as
scrap and acts the same… But it requires a lot of
power and a refinery on base to make it. We call
it Scap still, but it makes the use of scavenger
useless.
Materials
have to be transported in from all over the sector
and dropped of in pods, then the commander will
tug the pod to base and make scrap, A long winded
and tiring approach, but it is needed and there
is no real problem. There is no war.
Stories
of another incident keeps spreading throughout the
fleet, no one knows what to make of it, it looks
like something out of Star Trek, A race called the
BORG, Ha, as I lye down writing I cannot believe
this crap, and someone called Major Jackass… Well,
the story is just a story anything to make these
boring days pass bye. The story goes that a team
on Pluto went missing and no one knows anything
since, then stories of attacks and incidents came
in. Nothing much we all thought nothing of it and
that was the last of the matter.
It
makes a good story, and that is all it is, a story,
I sometimes feel my life is a story, after all I
am on this god dam planet Bane, And my next mission
tomorrow is to find some stupid material and take
a team with me. I wish there could be some real
action.
