Peter White was the son of a leading family in San Francisco’s medical research industry. He and his twin sister Alice grew up keeping each out of trouble by the expedient of not getting caught performing all of the mischief they achieved. They were often their own best alibis, but few ever made the mistake of thinking them serious children. Peter and Alice remained close partners in adulthood with business schemes all over Earth and beyond. I once watched their tag team assault on a mutual business arrival, and it was a joy to behold in living color. They were one of the best teams I ever saw in action, and I was grieved to hear of Alice’s death when the Shang brought down Yosemite. Peter was inconsolable. I did not know what would happen when I brought him into my plans and asked him to join me. He was amazing, of course, but his cyber was a surprise to everyone.

Daniel Freemon was far more courageous than even he knew. Few would have guessed it when he was the young and rebellious spawn of a once-great actor. But for all its horrors, The War gave many of us a chance to rewrite our futures. Both Daniel and his father took their chances and drove them all the way to the end of the line. His father reinvented Dixie into one of the primary military powers of the United States. Daniel reinvented himself into a man of profound courage in the face of the enemy who would have destroyed us all. And I would still say that about him even if he had not died saving hundreds of American sailors. They saved thousands more as The War went on, and went home to have their own families, all of whom owe their very existence to a man named Daniel Freemon.
