[Shizune]

Aelita looked at her log book, there’s been thus far eight logs and they were a bit off track from the fist to the last. She grabbed the recorder and when to the living room and sat down, turning it on. She grabbed a few badges from her pocket; well more than just a few, more like seven. The first one was a LPI badge, then the next ones followed. LPI, Liberty Navy, LSF, KSP, Kusari Naval Forces, BPA and finally a BAF Badge. She moved them around in her hand before pinning them back on the cloth frame. She sighed and leaned back; where to start was the question again. She looked at the recorder silently and showed the cloth frame to it. “These badges are from my time in the houses…Really my first home I had was in Liberty, with the LPI, during that time I was just beginning to working on my first line of peaceful drones.” She lifted up her are showing the blue plate under her arm. “These ones were the first I made. Anyway my time in the first police force was short, I moved to the naval forces when I didn’t find my calling in the LPI’s ranks and forces.”

“During my time in the naval forces I made my two Danger’s plasma rifles.” She picked up two side mounted auto rifles and put them on her back where they folded up and hid against her back. “During my time in the naval force of Liberty, I grew closer to the LSF branch of work, even with my old Juneau I had at the time which was really no more than a lightly armed siege cruiser which right now is most likely has been scrapped. So I guess you might ask, why did I go from the naval forces to the LSF? Easy to answer; research and discovery. The LSF at the time were full of research on the Da’am Ko’Vosh at the time and knew more about them than most people did in Sirius. It was during this time I began to patrol Alaska more and more and began to see these greyish black ships belonging to people called the order. If only at the time I knew what I was getting into at the time…” She laughs lightly

“I learned about the nomads during my time in the LSF which…I guess upsetted my superior at the time…my ship was impounded and they attempted to arrest me and that’s when I fled to Omicron Minor…at first I thought I must have been high on Cardimine to have flown in a LSF Avenger into Minor but…I had nowhere else to turn really and when your pinned in Alaska and a cruiser is blocking the gate out and the other ways out lead to death, I choose Minor over Ellesmere. Anyways in Minor I had to explain why I fled to Order space but found the patrols greeting…less welcoming I guess, I stood down and was taken in by the patrol to Toledo and left my Avenger behind in space, only stuff on it really was LSF jacket uniform piece. After they read over my finds on Toledo I was given a new name, Aelita Stone. Yes my real name is Aelita Stone, before hand? Before had my name was just Captain or Officer Stone.”

“The reason was after I broke my fall back on my parent’s ships, I forgot most things about me, save things about my sister and parents, I forgot my name really and when the doctors asked I could not give an answer so they just went by my last name. Anyways my time in the Order still continues after now even with my side stops into the other houses. Like my time in Kusari as a State Police officer and Naval Force captain was rather short as they quickly found I was an Order agent and was ran out of Kusari.” She laughs lightly again “They ran me right into Rheinland, that’s when I found the Naval forces contacted the Federal police in Frankfurt at the time and when I got there I was greeted by…what was it…the boarder station, two fighters, a bomber and a secondary military gunship. Thank god for the Hessians at the time who saved me at the last moment. I was taken to another place to rest and recover; I also had to explain who and where I was from to them, they didn’t like the fact I was an Order agent but then someone stood up for me, sadly I won’t say his name out of respect but I can say he had an massive hate for OSI.”

“I was given a Hessian fighter and went on a few patrols in Rheinland with my new brother-like-figure. We mainly raided Republican Shipping ships and OSI ships. I went by the name of Pilot Stein or Pilot Stone for Libertonian. During an attack on one of my patrols with my wing leader at the time who was another person I trusted, a tipped Rheinland military gunship party ambushed our group. The first two fighters of our group went down fast. My wing leaders’ gunship engaged the other enemy gunship as I tried to fend off an enraged bomber pilot. After a few minutes the bomber went down and I went to help my wing leader…he told me to run as the enemy gunship went down. I asked why and soon I saw the military reinforcements incoming…two gunships, a bomber and two fighters…he told me to not turn back and to run to Bretonia, he uploaded the gate codes to me…I wanted to refuse and I think we knew that. He hacked my ship and auto-flew it to the gate via cruise…I watched as the reinforcements swarmed my captains ship…I was just out of contacts range when I saw the explosions going off of a fighter…for a moment I smiled then…I saw his gunship go up in flames…”

“I was in Omega three then I was found by the Bretonia forces who were skeptical of my appearance. I begged for some place to hide, to rest and recover then to leave by to Toledo…for a while I spoke to them of the past of what happened…most the time they laughed, not at me, but of what I did…they even found it joyful of how well I ticked off the KSP forces trying to arrest me. After a while they took me in on a Dunkirk class ship and I was given a place to rest and recover for a while. It was in Cambridge I heard the ships alarms go off and looked around. Me, having been given some clothing to wear which was…well you guessed it, a officers uniform, a soldier told me to get to a fighter and help clear out the Corsairs. When I got to the bay, I used a Templar and flew into space. Already I was fired upon by two Titans who were keen on not letting up. After shaking one of them, I turned on the second and engaged, I was at half hull damage when the titan went down and soon after I was engaged by another one.”

“In return just as I was about to go down, a gunship darted between me and the titan taking the fire and removing the angered Corsair from almost killing me. I used my last load of regen’s to make my way back to the Dunkirk. That’s when I thought I was going to be in trouble; the military captain who found me approached me in the bay but instead of being mad he gave me a badge of a police officer with the name, Officer Stone on it. He just smiled and said “for your troubles, I hope you accept.” Who was I kidding, I did yes. After that I was released into New London for a while; I even had a small home on New London. By small I mean it had about five rooms max and the kitchen and living space were hooked together. After a few raids on Kusari forces in Leed’s, I was given the chance to join the Armed Forces which I gladly took. My first few weeks in the Armed Forces I took command of a Churchill gunship and was tasked with patrolling the line between Kusari and Bretonia.”

“It was not before long I started looking back at Toledo and reports saying of the increasing nomadic and bounty hunter attacks. A year after I was accepted into the Armed Forces; I took my Templar, my logs, and a few other things I bought including a…well it was coffee mug really, that I got from my time in the Police Authority of Bretonia; I still use that same mug today when I drink coffee. Anyways I loaded my things including my pre-module of the XXV One which by now I had begun to make out of spare parts I got from destroyed Kusarian ships. I used a small Templar which by the time I was done, was loaded up with my thing I had left. I left a message to my wing leader, that man who I gained respect for and was in Magellan when I got a message from him. He respected my wish to return to Toledo however after finding out I was an Order agent, he had to place an arrest warrant on me. I looked back at the Leed’s jump hole then into the distance at the California Jump Gate; it took me a while to think before it hit me, while I was in the Order, I had stationed my Anax Gunship in Magellan to watch the war that was happened in the Tau’s and Leed’s.”

“I went to the Freeport and radioed for the Anchorage to pick me up. About two days later after staying on the IMG Freeport, the Osiris arrived and took my Templar aboard. I was in the bridge and looked at my rather worried crew who thought by now I had been killed or worse, captured by the Bounty Hunters. We were back in Toledo for about five months, I remember commissioning my other ships and paying…a lot of money for them…it was during this time the Genocide of Toledo happened…I was on my gunship escorting a transport out when a Bulldog Hunter Battlecruiser broadsided my gunship and boarded my ship, thank god my drones took care of the boarding parties to some extent…then the attack of the nomads happened and…I cryogenically frozen myself to survive the attack I guess…my ship was badly damaged and I could not leave it…” She puts the badges down “And where were my other ships at the time you might ask? Holding the line around Toledo till they fall back as well. It was horrible…I might have been frozen but I…could still see the destruction that befell Toledo and its people…all I wished for at that time was…really the warmth of something or someone rather than the sharp cold feeling that surrounded me…”

She shook a bit “Sadly I only got that a year and half later…by then I had fallen emotionless and wanting more of the darkness around me…not the evil kind of darkness; no no, I wanted to die…you see, the human mind can only take so much before it gives up…and I broke only with in the first few days of cryogenic link up...remember please, in cryo sleep I become the ship…and I felt as broken as it did, I could only partly see…feel…and above all it was so hard to think…with in the first week of cryogenic sleep I began to morn all those that died around the planet, person by person, even the hunters who were just doing their job…by the first month ended I was regretting everything that bad thing I cause to everyone I harmed to cause bad things to…second month I was in denial of everything around me…by then I was mentally losing it…four months in began the attacks, by attacks I meant parts of my ship shutting down which caused me pain in my cryogenic link sleep…by the seventh month I mostly was destroyed…my ship phasing in and out of power, causing myself to slip in and out of periodic coma’s…”

“During the seven months of cryogenic sleep I tried to send distress messages which I’m sure were drowned out by others in the same local area…I was in fear of dying over and over with the reoccurring comas…the pain was great as well and just wanted it to stop…the next month, month eight…things got worse with those three weeks I…nearly was driven insane by the reoccurring patterns that were happening…by now I lacked the ability to do many things…such as think correctly only for a few minutes before overloaded…as the coma attacks happened more and more, my fear increased…but then on month nine I saw…a figure in my coma…an odd looking one…that was the first time I saw Xana…it was strange seeing him…then I saw the Lyoko plane…at first I thought I had died but…I then realized I was in a virtual world…I listened to Xana sometimes as he showed me images…he can’t speak but I spoke with him in turn…this relived some of the stress that was on me…I developed my connect to Anax over the two next weeks into month ten…”

“Still however even on the Lyoko plane things grew worse for me as I tried to stay sane and alive…I kept showing up in Lyoko more often then I should of for the next few months…on the last month before I was found I feel into a five day long coma like state again…this time I was scared out of my mind because my ship and body had yet to wake up in those five days…then on the last moment everything went black…I felt my own body again and…I heard voices but barely heard them…I felt someone’s hand on my arm…I barely could more…I was scared and thought the Hunters had found me…for about five hours I sat in a room alone…I tried opening my eyes several times but the light was to great…sounds were only echoing around me softly…for about three days I heard people come in and out of my room and on the second day I heard someone talking to another person…the next day that person spoke to me…ask my name…and ask if he knew where I was…I got one of the two questions right in the least…when he told me I was in Omicron one hundred and was in the medical ward of the order station, a massive stress relief left me and I relaxed for the first time in…months…”

“I had been saved…and this time I had landed in friendly arms…instead of terroristic…or fighting…or combat…or even dead arms…I finally felt home…when I left I went to the Juneau…I never heard a more welcoming cry from my crew then I did when they found out I didn’t die…I felt at home…and…maybe that’s what I feel like that’s missing…maybe…that’s what’s messing with my head still…that massive set of…fear…and danger and death…it’s a massive shock…a scar maybe…a mental scar that keeps following me…maybe that’s it…I…maybe its all that possibility of death awaiting me I fear…that has to…maybe be…it is…” The log ends suddenly and abruptly
