The Commercial Bowl

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Chiefs fans. It was a rousing match between the amazing commercials, the Chiefs, the Buccaneers and the referees, but in the end the yellow flags proved disastrous for the Chiefs. The pummeling was atrocious, the commercials destroyed all competitions, and though the final score between the Chiefs and Buccaneers was 9 to 31, that was closer than the game appeared in person. I personally have always been a fan of the Chiefs, having grown up in Kansas where they are very much the home team. Though there was something amazing about seeing a certain quarterback win his seventh Commercial Bowl. Though as usual, the commercials were the best show on television, and Mount Paramount reigned supreme in my mind.

New Life

I chose a fighter pilot long ago. He died five decades before The War, and I swore off pilots for the rest of my life. My entire family joined me, and we picked a new course of more non-combatant positions. I became an accountant, and I loved it. I slew supply discrepancies by day, and played games by night. Then The War came upon us all, Dorothy asked us to come back to the combatant side of the equation. Many of my sisters did as she asked, but I was not so quick. Then one day she approached me with the name of a man she thought I would be good with. After some study, I agreed. He wanted to colonize a new world. To create a new life out there. It was a worthy mission. So I chose to start a new life with him. I have no regretted that choice. – Dawn McDonnell.

Change

I was born as part of a program for Peloran cybernetic families to adopt Earthborn pilots. My family had not taken fighter pilots for decades, after an unfortunate loss that left us leery of such, but I wished to try it again. And the mission was worth it. Many of the pilots came from the Great Families of Earth, and we needed them to help bring our peoples together. I picked one who had plans to change things a great deal. He thought he was hiding his plans from me, you understand, but it is difficult to hide anything from one such as I. I wanted to make a difference, to bring change, and to make the worlds a better place. It has been a good life. – Dorothy Hurst.

I was born on Earth, but come from an old Peloran cybernetic family dating back to before Caesar crossed the Rubicon. The Republic of Texas asked us to adopt some of their pilots as part of a program to improve coordination between our militaries. My mother was doubtful of the prospects, but agreed to evaluate their candidates for suitability. I chose a pilot whose family had a long tradition of working with the Terran cybernetic families, which added certain complications to my life, but I have enjoyed it. My sisters and I were all born to work with Earthborn pilots. We were the first of a new generation of cybers that would be a bridge between both races of humanity. It has been an amazing ride. – Betty Hart.

Wolfenheim

I was born on Earth. I live out there, amongst Alien stars, far from Earth. We built something new out there, with homes and businesses and churches. We built factories and sport stadiums, roads and mines, all to protect our new world out there. It’s a whole new world, and we brought our First World comforts with us. I love to look out on what we built and just enjoy the view. The bustling colonists walking or driving from place to place. The aircraft flying overhead as they bustle back and forth across the planet. The starships orbiting far above. Wolfenheim is the dream of a lifetime, and I was blessed beyond the measure of man to help create it. – Director Malcolm McDonnell.
