Twenty Seven years ago, you had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. From the perspective of the Order - although they tended to be more calculative. Degrees of separation didn't permit sympathy nannying. The Pygar expedition was famous across the houses, and you were young and impressionable. A flight officer in your twenties.

Fast forward considerably and you were blasting your way through the bretonian interior as the fourth fleet fell apart around you. Join the Navy, see the sector, was the promise. It turned out to be exceptionally accurate. Promise kept. Tau thirty one had a radiant beauty that reinforced the mission - the sector was gorgeous and the collective You deserved to inherit its place in the stars.

The rations wore thin and the need for calories grew difficult. You were in your second teenage phase at that point, with all the growing pains and aches that came of growing into yourself - without of the added extra hair in amusing places. Perhaps it was a stroke of fortune when the mothership sharded into twisted structural alloy and spread itself amongst the void. Your cognition was somewhat frazzled in those weeks. You remember only phases. It was all various shades of horrifying - but you walked free.

You had plenty of time to dwell upon the minute during the silences that followed. The first broken promise - again, all for the best, was that you would never be alone. At first, you were overwhelmed; an orchestra thundering at all hours and dreams and silences - you couldn't make much sense, for you never were musical till then. A generation of holopersuits and kept your sensitivities rather blunt, back then.

Still, they left their scars. You remember a lieutenant screaming about how he couldn't breathe. The experience had no use to the greater whole, so it simply sat, floating around. A node would eventually take interest and whisk it away from you. You felt glad of it - it was a therapy where you didn't need to take any steps to self-improve.
