[font=Georgia]'Mr. Cole? Ms. Minami Kuriyama is waiting for you.'
[color=#FFFFFF]'Thank you Mrs. Sinser. Let her enter.'
'She's on the way, Mr. Cole.'

The large office-door groans and a small japanese woman in the midst of her twenties enters the room. She makes a short bow and comes closer to his desk.

'Ms. Kuriyama I am aghast to see you leave. We have a need in good pilots than you are. You see the universe is more insecure than ever before. The Gallic nations push from the north and the Outcasts push from the East. What will happen if Kusari can't hold the pressure any more? I have learned to know you as a determined and intelligent person. In the last three years you have become a good Bounty Hunter... Someone with brain... Unfortunately this is not the normal case in our business. Many join because of the money. They didn't win in their lives or jobs and have to look for another occupation. But you, you have been hunting for the nobility of ideals. You are a woman that knows why you are doing something. It will be a heavy loss when you go.'

She looked sheepish to the floor and then raised her head to speak.

'Mr. Cole. You know that this was not a simple decision. I've been thinking about it since I began here as a greenhorn. It is a fundamental decision whether to be payed for hunting without knowing the background of our targets or learn to know your real enemies better and optimize your strategies to start working at fundamental problems in our society.
When we left earth and our old systems we had to start from zero again and built up our new world. But we soon split up in different groups that worked against each other with partly illegal actions and nobody saw a reason why to change it. I will give you an example. When we discovered the Outcast colonies not too far away from here no one ever even tried to integrate these groups. Now we hunt them like animals and get hunted like animals because nobody ever sees the other side: Their families, hometowns and visions.' She silently took a breath and continued.
'It is important to have an institution like the Bounty Hunters that takes care for us in Sirius but it will not solve our problems.'

'I can see your point Ms. Kuriyama. It is sad that there are no efforts to find a real solution. Where will you go when you leave our house?'

'I am not sure but I will try to find a way to work as independent as possible and not getting controlled by inadequate thoughts.'

'Then you are free to go. I wish you the best.'

Ten seconds of silence filled the room.

'Thank you. Sayonara Mr. Cole', said Minami and turned around.
Mr. Cole, still sitting in his heavy chair, believed to see her smile when she closed the door behind her.

On the way to the terminal Minami took two steps at once. I am gonna see my parents again once more before I leave to other, still unknown challenges.
Her heart beat fast and shivers ran down her back.

I am Minami Kuriyama.
I am 26 years old and was born in Honsho.
I love this planet and its beautiful sunset.
My parents told me to never give up in finding real freedom and I still chase this dream.

WE ALL DREAM A LOT.
SOME ARE LUCKY,
SOME ARE NOT.
BUT IF YOU THINK IT,
WANT IT, DREAM IT,
THEN IT'S REAL.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU FEEL.
