Most of us Cowboys grew up a little different than the other kids. We didn’t learn the same way. Some of us had trouble reading. Our minds were going in too many ways at once to concentrate on the boring words out of touch schoolteachers were blathering on about. Kids made fun of us for it. So we grew up busting knuckles on heads and spitting broken teeth through bleeding lips. I learned to duck a punch better than most people, which is why I still have a pretty face. I still think that’s the most important thing I learned in school.

Twilight had been the dark little secret of Texas Tech before the attack. When Dixie dragged her into the light, she slipped back into the shadows. She fell into the goth-grunge student body who gave her exactly what she wanted. They ignored her. She dressed in black clothing because she had to wear something. She hated attention. She was moody, withdrawn, and sullen, the night to Dixie’s day. The attack forced her to go public. She hated the drug lords for that.

Jean-Claude Pierre Charles Napoleon ran a lightning no confidence campaign against the French government. He published internal communications obtained by supporters on the inside that proved the governmental corruption. He called for an end to that government on the surviving nets, and used the fortunes of the House of Bonaparte to rebuild many other nets. The various government agencies fought back in public, but their reputation preceded them. The no confidence vote passed with an overwhelming majority.

The difference between us Cowboys and the Peloran is what we want. The Peloran just want to settle down and hug a tree. It’s part of the way they were designed. The Albion didn’t want perfect warriors that would rebel on them. Yeah, they made a bunch of super soldiers with the hearts of pacifists. Well most of us Cowboys don’t have a pacifistic bone in our bodies. I know I sure don’t. There’s not a lot of things out there that can get the adrenalin pumping like a good old fashioned fist fight. And I love a good adrenalin rush.

Dixie had been the darling of Texas Tech before the attack. She was a virtual cheerleader that everybody saw at every game. She was the science project that decades of computer technicians in training had worked on. Her holographic form was designed to represent everything about the college. Brown hair, brown eyes, brown skin, she looked like any student at the school. She was bubbly, bouncy, and friendly, exactly what every school wanted in a star cheerleader. The entire world knew her after the attack.
