My name is Samuel Hawkings, born and raised on Leeds in Bretonia, as a young lad I attended Leeds university majoring in the field of.. Biology, amongst other things, I liked it there, it was easy and the world was small back then.
So, I finished university and was all jolly and what not.
But, since I needed a job, I decided to work as a worker on board a luxury liner called Theora, it was on that ship I discovered the beauty that I had only read and seen in books, Gaia, it was a gem amongst gems. Alltough, I knew it was going to be even better on the ground..
Now, a biologist that I am... Was, I knew that this planet was just one of many around, that in the end would become as the others in Bretonia. Industrialized, ruined..
So, in my mind, I began making plans on how to stop the usage of planets such as Gaia, now, all of my psychiatrists would call me mentally unstable... Oh, did I forget to mention that part?
Well, while attending university people noticed that I was.. Well, a bit off, so to say, always keeping to myself, coming up with outrageous ideas for after school activities, like booking tickets on a transport to Magellan and watch the never ending battles between the Liberty Navy and Lane Hackers, or even better, to watch the Kusari ships coming into bretonia and see the Armed forces of our queen blast them to bits, it wasnt that I didnt understand the conflict, but I did.. I really did, you see, I never really held Bretonia or our queen in high regards.. I even thought the Molly's had a good idea or two. hehe..
Anyhow, so I was thinking, how to stop this.. Well, breaking of nature, so to say, I hate to see that.. I hated it so much, that I purchased some.. Explosives of some questionable fellows.. And rigged the Liner to blow up.
So I did!
hehe.. Now, sure some.. Innocents died, well, it's their fault!!
They where on the liner to use Gaia for their entertainment!
IT'S MY PARADISE!
And that's when the armed forces captured me..
So, they called me a terrorist, and when I explained why, they called me a Gaian Terrorist!
Oh shut it!
Annoying brats!
They don't know why I did it, they didn't understand! So I had to make them understand... Eventually.. When they've released me..
So they placed me in a Psychiatric ward, to rot, or go sane.. Either would suit them, but, I knew, knew what I had to do to get out, it wasn't really hard:
"A snap, the faint aroma of sweat and excrement, the sight of a young man, falling towards the hardwood floor, a tattoo in the back of his head, a dragon"

I killed three men, and a woman in that place, their security was... Funny..
So, eventually after some cat & mouse games, I got my ass out of their..
The Police had sent constables after me since I tried to leave the planet on a transport, but as I said, I left them behind.
Now, how could I leave a planet swarming with cops and the blasted armed forces.....
Hehehhe, now this was the fun part.. What wouldn't they expect.. Oh, I knew, a lovely little civilian ship.. Room for a family or so..
So, I waited at one of the docking platforms, and then.. Of course, a civilian freighter landed, and a young woman walked out, she was.. Real pretty, ashame I had to kill her..
As she walked back from the docking station, I approached her, she smiled..
"Blood drenched lips, eyes of amber, the smile etched on her face, the aroma of roses, no noise, a blade entering her solar plexus, she falls and doesnt rise"
[font=Georgia]
I entered the ship and held the knife to the man piloting the freighter and ordered him to take me to Gaia.. I didn't know what Id find, but Id knew it would be better then this place..
I was so happy, well, not exactly happy, more like.. hmm, what would be the correct word? Amused? Anxious? Nervous? Perhaps, jolly?
Yes jolly, that is the best word I can think of.
Now, before I start again, the man I was sitting next to, he was crying, being a morally annoyance, sure I killed his girlfriend, and it seams he was quite upset with me..
Understandable, now, I can't exactly say I understood the man.. But I did tell him why I did it, I told him, that what I had to do is nothing I would want anyone, ANYONE, I knew to feel..
Strangely enough, he didn't respond to well to that..
He continued to cry, but this time, he reached towards the communications control.. I had no other choice.. I had to kill him..
"Perspiration dripping trough crystal eyes, drips of blood encircling blue lips, body trembles and collapses.."
[font=Georgia]
He lay on the second chair, where I was sitting moments ago, all tough I regret what I did after some 20 minutes, when I got bored..
The wormhole shook the freighter, and moments after the blinding light, there was Edinburgh, now, I knew the Gaians had a base somewhere in he area close to Gaia, so I set course towards the nebulae that was closest.
I sent out a message, stating my intentions and that I needed a safe place to stay.. After some 30 minutes of waiting and me composing a lovely poem of the nebulae.
Oh purple cloud
Dear dear purple cloud
Holding the defenders of planet paradise
I wish I wish
That you would play the dice
And play with me like a proper defender
Come come from where you are
And help me back from hell and into paradise
You are the best, the best of the west..
Now, heres when I realised I suck at poems..
Then I realized why I had been feeling so weird, so out of place, like my mind isn't really.. What it is supposed to be, the mental pills... The pills, damnit, I had to take the pills..
As I took three of the pink pills and swallowed them down with some water, a message came trough.
They asked of who I was, and why they should help..
I explained my situation, and my mind turned.. Well, I could focus, and my emotions didn't play a role in what I was thinking.
After awhile, I got escorted into Islay base, on the way there, I observed the wonder that was Gaia, I was back at Paradise... Finally..
