Gamma Trianguli is out near the Hyades Cluster so the Chinese defended it real hard during The War. I never really understood why. It’s not like it’s a nice place to live. I mean the star’s sorta funky and sends off all kinds of nasty radiation. It always amused me that the Chinese had to rely on complex computer programs running a series of sunshades to protect the world from solar radiation. Ironic considering their distaste for cybers.
We truly are no longer what we were when The War began. We came from every cybernetic family at first. Peloran. Terran. Even the Aesiran and Arnam families sent representatives to fight on our side. By War’s end we all became Terran. We brought our differences and our uniqueness and made our family the best of the cybernetic families. Though I may be biased.
Revolutionary Socialist movements of the Twentieth Century overturned many nations and then cleansed their opposition, whether religious, societal, or racial. Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot are still famous to this day for the nearly 100 million people they killed. But they are mere statistics to those who grew up in the Western Alliance. Because we have our own homegrown name that still fills our racial memory with dread. Hitler.
I fought on Gamma Trianguli during The War. Looking from Earth it’s part of a constellation the Chinese call Heaven’s Great General and they were rather fond of the place. I never did like it though. It was all nasty clouds, weird storms, and strange rock formations. It wasn’t like home at all. I know that’s the point of leaving home, but I was never interested in traveling back then. It was just so much bother when I could have anything I wanted back home.
I am a cybernetic intelligence. I was born the daughter of my mother. I became a Cowboy. We all became Cowboys. We were born to go to war. It was the bargain we made. We fought until the end of our endurance, until the only reason we kept going was the brother or sister at our shoulder. And that was when we found our new family.
