A plantation owners daughter

[Jansen]

There comes a time when we should write down what we have done, so that it will not be forgotten, those that come after us should be able to follow our thoughts, to see what we did, to judge about our actions.
I think it is time to write down those things that were important in my life.

Undisturbed childhood ?

I was born in the year 795 AS, as fourth child of Pablo and Sofia Santos at their plantation on the northern side of Omicron Alpha. One of my older Brothers already died before my birth, as far as I know the slaves attacked him and he succumbed the injuries, in exchange for this cruel crime, all slaves had to suffer, most of them died and justice triumphed. I grew up at my parents farm, sometimes I didnt like the way we treated the slaves, especially when father lashed them. But then again he always told me that those slaves are not to be considered as human beings. They gave up their humanity with their birth on one of the more populated planets, he always said that those planets made the humans sick, made them insane. I couldnt imagine that this was the whole truth, maybe because I wasnt old enough...

At the age of 7 I was able to visit one of the better schools, father always wanted me to be something special, mother never had much to say as far as I can recall. I finished as one of the best in my class 10 years later. One day after I left the school another brother died by the hands of Bounty Hunters. Father blamed those planets, that made the humans sick, that made them to some kind of animals, killing for money. I had never met anyone from another planet except the slaves, but slowly I started to believe his words.
