"Do you ask me who I am or who I was? Nevermind. I'll start from the beginning.
My name is Fiona Lacroix, although my name was originally longer and more aristocratic. I was born 801 A.S. on the planet New Paris in the Ile-de-France system. I lived comfortable live of a high class darling. I almost always got what I wanted. But even with all my family’s riches, the planet felt to small for me. And so I got myself on a cruise ship. Then I stepped up and got my own ship. Firstly – I was doing only short trips from the New Paris. Then circles around Ille-de-France system and lastly most of the Gallia space. Flying my own ship was more exciting for me than some lavish high class parties – don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed them, but when you can read about your guests in the newspapers, they are not so interesting anymore. And drugs never felt as option for me as my older sister overdosed herself to death in her late teens.
My visits to the home were shorter and less frequent overtime. They say, that when you leave planet on your own for a first time, your worldly perception changes and you simply can’t enjoy staying on a planet anymore. That’s what happened to me.
I sold most of my assets on the New Paris and began life of the freelancing cargo ship. I slowly worked towards bigger ships and hired my own crew.
When Gallia felt to small for me, I waited for the end of the War and began freelancing in Sirius. It was step to a bigger world. New states, new cultures and new wonders to observe. By 827, my ship was venerable Heron cargo train. But when I thought there is nothing new to see, they found me.
I heard stories about them a never met them. So I naturally never thought I’m going to meet them. I was shortening my trade route through wormholes between the Bretonia and the Kusari. I probably made some navigation error and ended up in an icy blue nebula. Unknown ships appeared and overpowered my vessel, then they boarded us, abducted me and my crew, and that was the end of my old life.
My new life feels different now. I was selfish and pitiful creature, almost like an oblivious insect. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I saw the Light and was welcomed to my new family. The family closer than my biological one ever was. I feel them with me even when I look alone. They call me the Song Bird, because when they welcomed me, my inner voice was singing to them almost like a bird.
New purpose awaits me and I feel more ready than I ever was."
