Destiny

[jammi]

Raised voices from the drawing room. I snickered quietly to myself. I had long known of their petty scams and schemes. A light rain was now pattering against the window pane, so I walked to it, gazing out across my estate. Soon to be my estate. Cambridge had always provided for me subjects for my research, blinkered students to work for me. I snickered again and contemplated the future.

I'd grown bored of the corridor, and headed for my personal library. The servants were forbidden from entering here. There all my research to my true love resided, everything that made my short nineteen years matter. Xeno-archaeology reports, scientific guesswork, banned media reports and literature from Rhineland 800AS, biological profiling I had gathered from my subjects, extensive reports gleaned and stolen from the Rhineland Military and Liberty government on active Alien Artefacts they had stolen. I was proud of this archive. It was my life, and had taken every one of my contacts and resources to obtain the information.

I had been among the few granted permits to visit the desecrated archaeological sights on Sprague in 811AS, and I had been one of the few who were assigned to Dean Harmans research team at the age of sixteen! My mind was a masterpiece, and soon all of Sirius would know its wonder. I pulled the knife from my pocket and fidgeted with it for a while, before pocketing it, picking up a single heavy book from the table and leaving.

Soon I would be able to continue my research, among the best, with all that I deserved, deserving the best. New Berlin was beckoning to me, my destiny entwined with its harsh winters and rocky crags. Soon my research would be complete, and all that I wished for would be mine!
