Personal log of Adrian Valentinov

"2 years ago I heard it from a distant relative...I have a twin brother.Could't bleive. Still
can't.I conducted a search for information about my past. I don't remember much from my childhood.
I remember a lady saying to me that my parents are dead in an incident at the station...even don't
remember which was the station...Freport 7 I think. After that I can remember the pansion...the
other orphans...10 years later I was enjoying the luxuries of the Prison Liner "Dakota" for attacking
a trade convoy... I was desperate... After 1 year I was granted amnesty for the terms of being a bounty
hunter for the goverment - with no pay and a lousy 100credits weekly allowance - just enough for living...
That went for 5 years. After that the sentence was completed. I could not do anything else but to become
a Bounty Hunter. I managed to keep myself indipendant and didn't joined some of the BH groups. I have a good
pay for a hard work. And one day I met this man-he sayed that is a distant relative to my family, to be exact
my father. He started a conversation about my past, he knew more than I did. And telling me about my twin
brother was the tops of it. My father has been a well known trader. My family has always been on the move.
My mother has been a very beautiful woman...and I have a twin.From that day I used all my contacts to gather as
much Info about him as I can. I know that his name is Vladimir Bankovsky-my real family name.And nothing more...
Only that in Liberty I'll learn the answers..."

"...What was that?... Just before i entered high orbit of the planet I had a vision...A command brige of some
battleship I guess...I saw some people at the control panels of the decks. And a voice...strange one... I heard
in my head... He was giving commands... and then that was all.
***
Well I talked with the people in the bar, had to spend some creds.I learned that my Brother has taken a career
in the Navy. A successfull one. He has become one of the three High Admirals Of The Liberty Naval Forces-most
highes rank In the Navy. Unbelivable, but it explains the strange dreams and my knowlege of all liberty military
crafts... and I though I was born genious :)... and then one day while he was on a non-official cruse he dissappeared.
And nothing more.. the military covers all the info about this case... shortly after that a prototype Battleship SS
"Redeemer" has dissapeared too... even more strange..."

flying through gigantic wrecks of the Navy ships, parts, cargo... and the unknowns ship faded infront my very eyes...UNBELIVABLE!!!
