By, me, Peter Ericson
So, a diary. Hello! ... Yeah, not really used to writing one of these, I know some people do since they were a child, but I didnt, really. Not sure why. Anyway, sort of useless to spam my own diary with babble, so, on to the point. Namely, a lot of... stuff happening. Yeah, thatll do. Stuff.
Ok then, I can see your not impressed, Mr. Diary. Still, writing lots was never my forte. Especially not with a pen, anyhow. Still, most secure thing there is now, paper. I say paper, not made out of trees or anything. Not sure what its made out of actually... Synth? Who knew Synth Foods made books? Anyway, its not from a real plant, so its all good. And secure, like I said. Cant be sure of anything on the neural net these days, what with hackers, and the governments. They monitor everything, cant ever be sure what they know, or see. Cramped in one of their bunkers on New London, no doubt, sifting through it all, Trying to get into your head... well lets not go into that. Heads, that is. Not yet... err...
Better introduce myself then! My name is Peter Ericson, and Im 6 years old! Well, Im not, clearly, Im 26 actually. But, young at heart, eh? Right... I was born on Planet Cambridge. Then when I was about 8 or thereabouts, we all moved to Planet Leeds. Me mum and dad, and my little brother. Dad got a job with BMM I think, quite good from what I heard. So, Grew up on Leeds after that. Got into Cambridge Uni, luckily, did an Engineering Degree, got a 2-2 by the end of it. Had a lot of fun, made some nice friends. Got into doing Green Front things, leafleting, protest marches, all that fun stuff. Left, wondering what to do with my life, long story short (too late, HA!), became a Gaian. Got myself a Hawk, then did it up, rebuilt it over a year or two. Now pretty much a Falcon, got the parts from the Junkers at Trafalgar, and some at The Hood. Never was much into racing though, seemed suicidal, though my cousin loved it. Then, she is a Zoner, what can you expect? Ha! And I think my brothers a policeman now, he was always a bit boring. So yeah, thats me, Mr. Diary. Nosy, arent you? Heh.
Still, things changed. A while back, dunno really when they first started to, just sort of did. I found myself flying the long-way-round to get to places, going to the edge of this asteroid field, seeing whats in that nebula. I still asked for the occasional donation, wasnt completely wasting my time an all. Just, well, wanted to explore a little, I guess. And when I say donation, I mean it, I have never robbed anyone, or shot first, Im not like that. I know some of the lads here are a bit rough, trigger happy maybe, but not me. Still, the government labels you as a terrorist, youre a terrorist, I suppose.
Cripes, I have gone on a bit, havent I? Ill get on to the good part in the morning...
