The story of Teng Yijun, later known as Ren Xiaolian begins on the planet Jiangxi, when she was born in family of the workers in a small mining colony. Her parents were exemplary members of the Coalition society, members of the party. Unfortunately for them, their son was picked by the officials to be a part of the social experiments. Her parents were not informed about anything, until the one crucial night, when their small apartment was visited by the special agents. They had an order that was allowing them to take 2 years old child away from the family, for the sake of "revolutionary science". The order itself was explaining not a lot, but just stated the fact that child is being moved to the other family. This document did not metion to which family or for what reason. That probably would make more harm and probably be just cruel.
All records about Teng Yijun were deleted, all people who were informed about existing of this child were told to be silent. Person under this name never existed and never was mentioned after that. Week after, girl named Ren has appeared in Xiaolian family. She had full package of documents, including detailed medical cards. Information about her was added to the files of her new "parents". Both new father and mother of Ren were military officers, got transfered to another unit. Point of this sudden relocation was to get rid of old friends and family who knew that this couple never got a child.
Unlike Yijun, Xialian were actually well informed about what is happening. Of crouse they did not feel any better because they knew, but at least they were morally prepared. It was a grand experiment of learning a role of gender in terms of construstion of the communist seciety. Most of the data was collected from the usual sources of the information for the special services. But it wasn't enough to actually complete the experiment, so it was desided to act. Goverment was mainly interested on how gender affects the communist and how government can influence it.
The State have provided Xiaolian family with additional support, to make experiment more clean, it was necessary to create more or less calm environment in this family. Goverment also have provided all needed drugs and surgery, along with faked medical deagnosis that would justify it for public. Since the time Ren went to school, she was closely monitored, however, the child did not show any outstanding results. School teachers were ordered to collect students' opinions on Ren, every strangeness and peculiarities in the behavior that were noticed.
When she turned 15, Ren was transfered to the People's Military Cadet School. She joined the new formed female training group, once again, state wanted to learn how differ Ren's results would be. From this moment Ren herself had to pass one meeting with state psychologist per week. Every meeting usually lasted in the range from 40 minutes up to 1 hour. When Ren had some problems, those meetings usually took up to 3 hours. Psychologist was trying to get as much information as it possible, and she did that well.
At the second year of education, during practical flying lessons in Omega-49 system, their wing was suddenly attacked by Corsairs. Nobody really knows what happened there exactly, because the whole case was classified. However, after it Ren was claiming that she have managed to bring down one of the Corsair's ships, while covering retreat of her comrades. According to her claims, she even shot the ejecting pod and took a life of this pilot. Her claim was fully backed by the officials and even was translated on some local media. Since the real information is not available, nobody knows if it's happened in real life, or was just another part of the experiment. Ren seems to be fully believing in what she was telling and described everything in details.
Her further education was rather usual, at least nothing markable was recorded or given away to the public. In general she was described as calm and polite person. She always had a maniac set towards the Corsairs after their attack on Coalition trainee wing. It even led her to violate direct orders of the command, which ended with disciplinary punishments. She was growing in ranks rather fast, seems like command just wanted to see how she will handle different situations. As she grew, she got more and more overseers over her activities.
During her time in the Coalition, Ren was avoiding any close relations with anyone. Even though the goverment sent people to set it and record her reactions. It seemed like without natural close contact Ren wasn't happy, this person was become more isolated and more aggressive. In time she started to cut off even regular contacts and it became more difficult to control her. Apart from that, all data that was in the goverment's interest was already collected, and this experiment with Ren was pretty much over.
As the rather unstable element, that was rather quickly getting under control, she started to irritate the officials. Fact that she was a good officer did not concern them much, since stability of the system always was in the first place on their priority list. With the fabricated evidence, Ren was blamed in ideological subversion. Xiaolian was deport from the Coalition month after the blame was set on, the judgment passed quickly and uncompromisingly. Sirius Coalition had a low percentage of acquittals and Ren's case is not special.
Red had a long wandering in Omega systems, trying to survive and find some use for her skills. Gladly she had some contact with the Red Hessians, so her dark period of life barely exceed two months. This period was very special, because she have met a lot of people and they were way more fair and open than people at home. It was the time when Ren was living poor, but have managed to break a lot of internal complexes that were building up all her life.
Integration into the Hessian society was not easy, even despite tha fact that she was warmly welcomed. Ren felt herself a stranger, not really belonging to Rheinland. She perefered to stay in Omegas, Ren still had a feeling of home, when stayed there. Slowly she started to feel problems of Rheinland workes as her own, but feeling of her being an outsider always remained.
For her loyal and effective service she was restored in rank that was equivalent to Ren's old rank in the Coalition. Xiaolian had to get use to new tactics, language and many other things, including the ideology. As the Coalition military pilot, she learned all main languages of the Alliance, but she didn't know any of the good enough at the beginning. Adaptation period too about a six months, Ren even was involved into the operations inside Rheinalnd.
Xialian quickly gained trust and respect within the Hessian movement, but it was not enough to fully compensate the factor of Ren being not Rheinlander. Once she have reacher the rank of Oberleutnant, Ren was actively monitored, this time by Spezialoperationsabteilung. Pretty much all her moves were under control and all data about her was collected. All her further promotions were possibly only with this single condition.
Despite accepting the ideology and realizing problems of the people of Rheinland, Ren did not pass any cultural adaptation. At least, she was able to breathe more freely and realize her talents as the commander. Ren's past will always follow her, but for now, she had a frontline to handle and there was not much time for sentimentality.
