Chapter 1: birth

Part 1:

A camera seem to take photos of a teenager about 17 years old wakes up and look confused, he seem to be unfamiliar to everything, he finds the camera pick it up and start looking at it after a few moments of stare he start to speak: "I know this item called video camera, but I don't know in what language, I don't know who I am where I am, I know I am called human, no more then that", he sit on the bed shakes his head a bit and keep talking: "I think I should start video blog, I don't know why, I know what a video blog is, but I don't know what language I am speaking I find it disturbing….".
Walks a bit in a room that seem to be like a room in expensive hotel, from the shiny windows of the tower on front you can see a sign in the reflection that is written in it "Erie Towers". The camera keep turning around the room until it being put on the bed while the boy search the drawers, he find a small note and he show it to the camera: "Your name is Shaimos", the boy laughs a bit and start to speak: "Well now I know my name that’s a progress don’t you think?" in the drawers he also find a letter he reads it on loud: "Dear Shaimos here you can find the key and codes for a ship that awaits you down in the parking bay, the ship is very basic but it's enough for you to start your journey and a few credits, credits are the money which is used to buy things in case you don't know. In the end of this letter you can find electronic key, when time will come you will need it, but for now keep it with you in safe place, you might find you are not usual, with love mom and dad".
"Well now I know I have mom and dad, that’s a progress. That’s just stupid; it's obvious I am not usual! 13 minutes ago I didn't even knew who I am!" sit on the bed take the camera and says: "well there is no point to stay in here, I will go outside to see what I can do out there I will leave this planet tomorrow I just have a pulse to do so, like there is a bug in my head that tells me to leave".
"I went to the docking bay one of the security personal asked for my name and my ID I simply told him my name is Shaimos and he asked "Shaimos what?" I didn't understood him, looking back it was quite funny and when he looked at my ID he told me to come with him, he took me to a small office with a nice woman that asked for my name and again I replied Shiamos and again she asked the weird question "Shaimos what?" the officer told her to look at my ID and she told me I don't have a last name in there, and kindly asked me what my last name is, I told her what, that my last name is what, I honestly thought that’s what she meant, so now I am officially called Shaimos What, anyway the voice in my head that bug me to leave becoming really annoying so I am departing right away".
Walking the street with the camera in his hand, on the way to the hangar someone stops him and offer him a job, to transport for him a large quantity of helium for a nice price of a bit over 7.500.000 SC and a bonus of Rhino class space craft.
"Well I can say this offer is very odd, but I need that money so I guess I am selling my soul huh?"

Part 2:

"I rented my self a room here in Freeport 4, and this day was 100% a day of relaxing and resting. This place nice and all but I am not intending to stay, I wish to learn and explore, oh and in case you haven't seen news yesterday the "Xenos" terrorist group destroyed "Erie Towers" they did it with several bombs in the base and the middle of the tower there were only 4 survivors that was trapped under the wrecks, I am lucky that my little bug in the head made me go away to travel huh?"
He put the camera on a table and goes grab him self a pretty big sandwich with meat inside and start to speak in barely understandable English: "I am not sure what to do with the money, I want to buy other ship then the one I have, I am just not sure which one; or where to go. So many possibilities to explore and I am not sure which one to take."
Finish his sandwich and start to speak again, only this time in a understandable way: "I think I will join those people that call themselves Zoners, they are exploring, exploring and more exploring, exactly what I want to do! But still I am not sure… I will see about it tomorrow and I will decide where to go.
Right now I am learning math, physics, Mechanics, programming and even biology all of those interest me a lot, and I learn them fast. Anyway this is the end of my broadcast for today, sorry for making it short, after all I was busy resting this day, good night and farewell people that listen to this."

Part 3:

"Good day listeners, Today when I set in the bar , getting ready to take-off I met a couple of bounty hunters, that asked me if I can take them to Sheffield Station , I replied in acceptance, and they asked me if I would like to join them, I don't like the bounty hunters much. From what I know about them anyway, they live from killing other people and that’s simply horrible. So after I refused they suggested me to go to planet New London, and there I intend to go. "
Shaimos go to the back of the ship, what seem to be it's cargo hall and talk to a nice young couple, after a few moments they shake hands, the cargo bay door opens up and the couple leave the ship, Shaimos pick up the camera and walks out of the ship too. "Well dear listeners as you can see this is the planet New London, it's nice and I met here a few Zoners, and they just fascinated me with their stories about far lands and wild life out of "House" space, they are leaving today I am sure I will follow them, I just so excited, they will give me other ship then the one I have now when I will get to out destination, which for now is unknown for me, they said it will be a surprise. Also the some-short of voice in my head haven't bugged me in a while so I think I am doing right, I learned to trust that voice it saved my life"
Shaimos walks into his ship, place the camera in such position it can record all the monitors and the window and Shaimos himself, he start to talk in a secured voice channel with people who are probably those Zoners whom he will fly with. "Well I am going to take-off any moment" The ship engine starts and he fly away to the sky, after leaving the planet it seems he is flying with 5 more companions who are Zoners, they use the trade lane that indentify it self as a trade lane from planet New London to the Cambridge, after they use the lane, somewhere near the middle of it the lane stops, and on the opposite side there are 5 ships that recognize them selves as order ships and no more, the Zoner squad leader transmit to him in a local channel: "Good day order ships, we are probably not who you seek for, so may we pass?", the respond came quick "Hand over the one who ID himself as Shaimos and you are free to go" The Zoner squad leader reply to him that Shaimos is under Zoner protection, and in result the order ships start to fire, one of the zoners tell Shaimos to follow him while the rest stall the order ships. They make a run for it. They jump into the Cambridge system and from there, just keep flying until they get to Freeport 1 in Omega-3, as they reach the zoner report the incident, and in there have a small talk with Shaimos apparently her name is Keyla Silver, and she is as young as Shaimos, only 17 years old. She promises to take him to the nearby Freeport that has ships for sale where he will get a better ship, and they could fly together and explore the large dark space.

Part 4:

"I am taking those photos from Omicron Theta I am in Freeport 9 right now and Keyla is arraigning my Zoner documents, oh wait here she comes!' the camera turn a bit and take a close-up on Keyla's face. "You are still doing that stupid video blog?" you can hear Shaimos yawns and say "It's not stupid, I find it comforting since I don't know who I am, anyway what the orders we got?" she nod her head "Well, we are ordered to go to Freeport 10 in Tau 37, and we need to get there in urgent the air is starting to heat over there between the IMG to the outcasts, and because of that we will have to go through Kusari trade lanes, sorry to disappoint you on that. Hey we can go to trips in the Tau systems while we are there, just like you wanted, explore and reveal, if we successfully do that mission you will be officially part of the Zoners. We will make a stop at the IMG base Java, cause the ship I got for you is ain't nice, and you can get there a ship like mine Raven's Talon." She walks to her ship and starts and Shaimos walks to his, "Well listeners you heard the woman let's go".
The camera turned on again, seems by accident since it laid on the side of it, you can see Shaimos aggressively talking to 2 men, one of them wear uniform of IMG and the other of Outcast, "You too, either you calm down or you take they fight out of our Freeport, and far away from it."
The outcast pulls out a gun and shot the IMG in the head, he do so by firing through Shaimos's chest, Shaimos fall down to the floor and the outcast yell to him "Nobody tells me what to do NOBODY!" he walks away to the hangar and from the window you can see a saber class ship leaving. A medical team arrives quickly and takes Shaimos away, Keyla arrives and takes Shaimos's camera and quickly run after them.

The camera turns on again, you can see Shaimos lying on Keyla's knees, he is wrapped with bandages. "Sorry dear listeners that you had to see that, anyway I feel better now and as you can see Keyla taking care of me, and the station doctor said that in few days I will be free to go" he try to take a small beautiful wooden box but he seem to cripple from pain so Keyla grab the box and bring it to him, he opens the box and show a small medal, a star around a globe surrounded by hands, the medal of bravery among the Zoners. "They say that this medal marks 2 things, that you are brave and that you are stupid." He laughs a bit but laughing cause him pain and quickly he stops. "I found my self a home, among those who are like me, wishing to explore and see far systems, exotic and wild. After I will get better me and Keyla have a trip to do in Tau 23, we heard from a few IMG workers that there is a secret house named Galia, and a jump hole toward there from Tau 23, so I guess this is where we are going, if I wouldn't learn history of the sirus I wouldn't know what's the big deal with anther house, but this one remained secret for over 800 years!"
He cripples from pain again, and Keyla speaks instead of him "Shaimos need to rest good bye listeners".

The camera turn on again, it dark and Shaimos wishpers "Keyla is sleeping and I wanted you to know, that when we flew to here, Freeport 10, I had a bad feeling, just like I had back on planet Erie, I had that feeling that I need to go throught the omicrons and not through Kusari, I wonder what will happen next, my feelings are never wrong".
