It's interesting when you put your thoughts into written words for the firs time. I don't know exactly what to say... I was never good with expressing myself, in an emotional-POV manner but it's worth a try. I've put a thought regarding my life, where I am now, what I ever did, what I ever had. It's a method to keep me back on track and not lose my mind in the current state that I am.

I guess the most defining period and the one that it was most intense for me, was when I joined the Navy to sustain them in their government-owned research projects. But I knew from the start what would happen. My work began near the start of the Nomad War. Until then I was sent in the name of Liberty's Science Board on various expeditions towards distant worlds that had signs of alien life. I've heard about what the Rheinlanders found on a distant Omicron World, and to an extent it was very valuable because we had the real contact with ... signs at least with an alien species. What happened further one, made me think that they encountered there more than.. relics. But it's the cosmic imperative of the improbable and unknown, so to speak.

Liberty didn't shined that much on the scientific aspect, well of course we developed the Jump Gates, Trade Lane systems, but they were not invented. That's the thing. Liberty was known for the prospect image of capitalism and freedom. Bretonians had some interesting figures. On my various expeditions throughout several noticeable archeological sites, I've met Professor Roland Quintaine. He was an interesting individual, yet odd in the same place because of his connection to quasi-unlawful people. Not your daily professor type I guess. He was revered over at Cambridge and I was an aspirant. Luckily the Nomad War caught me in their territory and I got to work with him until he had to vanish because he was wanted for some illogical crimes, he stated. There was a chaotic period during those events, the influence of the Nomad race was spreading fast into the colonies.

It was interesting to work with him though. We studied some ancient relics and presumed "devices" of millennia old, and I've discovered that some were triggers to open all sort of maps to some known and unknown systems, unusual places even (perhaps other dimensions ?). Several key connections towards unknown worlds. Different lines, different patterns, different races presumably. We studied what we later named them the Dominator Race of the Milky Way or as we managed to barely translate it "Daam'K'Vosh". We considered them to be entities that could manipulate matter and time with their thoughts. Creating worlds, life and so on. The mystery came to... what happened. Me with the rest of the team, theorized they were caught in either a war or affected by some plague or they simply evolved into another chapter of existence. Leaving behind the Nomad race was an interesting gesture. For protection to safeguard until their return or as a legacy. Thing is... there were no signs of their appearances in the modern ages.

During the Nomad War I resided on a station in the Omega systems, near planet Sprague. It was a good view and a safe heaven until the heat came down. When I returned to Liberty after the War was over I passed to Manhattan and saw the honor escorts that made a path clear for the heroes that put an end to the threat. My son was with my wife on Cambridge all this time. They were safe enough.

The Science Board though, told me some terrible things in the aftermath of the conflict. They said they were all hidden, some of them were taken by the Government by force and vanished. They also said that the Nomads had the possibility to take control of individuals and get inside human beings. The Board decided to put this off-record but to be careful in the future, for the Nomad War was just the beginning. I never saw them, but only the bio-luminescent entities that were in space. The government expected us, scientists, to work like nothing ever happened. The subject of the Nomads was very sensitive, and some even today live in denial of their existence.

Eight years later I was invited by the Navy to help them with some research projects, with top-tier equipment, personnel, basically it was the best job a researcher could do. I took it. I was assigned in the New Hampshire system and on I went. It coincided with the day when my son, turned19 and I couldn't get to his birthday celebration. I only had contact with him via a secure channel. After I got the job, I even had lower contact. I.. know I couldn't do it. I tried the best I could, I only wanted to suffice a future for my family, even if I sacrificed myself. My wife to have a good and easy life on Cambridge and my son the best of education. My notoriety brought several advantages but also grudges.. especially in my son's life.

On Hampshire, things were alright in the first 6 months. Then... I realized what I got into. I will speak more about it later. Apparently I do like this journal-style of speech.
