before introducing myself, I want you to know what my concern is about.
Since I was able to remember who I am again I have been searching for my last remaining family member. At the age of 16 I woke up with indications of heavy amnesia at a run-down hospital on the darkside of planet Holstein, Frankfurt. I didn't know who I am, nor how I got into this situation. Even the surgeons could'nt reconstruct my memory and were clueless how to handle me. The one who apparently brought me there walked by and said "Follow me if you don't plan on dying today.."
So I did. He showed me his world and standards of living. Holstein was freezing cold to be honest but at that time I could'nt remember how warmth felt like, though.
Nevertheless, he told me that he picked me up floating around in space near the jumpgate to New Berlin with nothing more than a respirator on. Yes, nothing more than that. In addition he was wondering how the hell I have survived this anyway. Actually everyone was, including myself.
He insisted everyone on calling him Mr.Hou. I repeated his name the first time and he asked me if I lost both my memory and also my hearing...
Going around the slum-like region he showed me his restaurant and suggested to work for him until we know how to proceed in my issue.
So I did. I found myself being a very dexterous bartender and creative at mixing cocktails and stuff like that. It was like I did this my whole life allready... Mr.Hou gave me the name Sirfex, Sir for wearing suits and vests all the time and fex for being skillful as a bartender.
After three hard years of making Mr.Hou's Bar next to his restaurant booming with customers, one day a beautiful lady in a red dress came in and ordered a whole bottle of exquisite wine for herself. I couldn't help myself to ask if she is expecting someone...but she did not. Since it was almost closing time I took a seat next to her and we talked about herself, her name was Anna Friedel, and my time at Mr.Hou's bar. She was shocked when I told her I was working for Mr.Hou my entire life. Well, at least the life I could remember. At this moment she looked directly into my eyes and said in a dry sober voice: "I know your brother."
I was shaking and saying that she is probably confusing me with someone else, but she repeatedly checked my whole appearance and was sure about me being related to a guy who's name was Karl Heinrichs.
Hearing just his name gave me goosepumps and it was my turn to discover that she was right. I used to not believe in coincidences but when Mr.Hou came along asking me if I do not know who this lady in front of me is, I totally started to. Apparently I talked with a former major of the Red Hessian Army.
"Edgar Heinrichs.."
"What?" - I was confused..
"This is your name. Karl Heinrichs is your sibling. Three years ago, when I was still serving for the Red Hessian Army, I was on a daily routine trip when a frighter started to collapse twenty K away from our position. It was being shot by a Rheinland patrol."
"No way!!" - Mr.Hou needed to say something at all costs..
"My group was in majority and we happened to surprise them. We got one pinned down but the rest of them could flee. I will never forget his facial expression screaming Edgar over and over again when we've been draging him out of his rescue capsule. It is definitely your brother, no doubt about that."
It did hit me like a lighting bolt running up my arse into my brain when flashing pictures of that accident occured in front of me. I started to remember. It took us five months to leave Frankfurt with a valid ID for me in order to find out where Karl, i mean my brother, is positioned. Anna Friedel told me that she only knows Karl Heinrichs still being in recovery at a Red Hessian base.
Until this day I still did not found him but to make up for that I decided to join the Red Hessian Army and take revenge for everything the Rheinland Corporations did to me and my family! I know that we transported Blue Jillies but nontheless we didn't harm nobody for anything.
They have to pay, please let me fight at your side and help falling down the greedy Rheinland government.
Mr.Hou and Anna Friedel tought me how to flight and survive in space again. I am ready to kick some arse! And maybe by some strange coincidence I will find my brother as well someday.
