Third Fleet was our best hope for victory. Epsilon Reticuli was the first step in our mission to end The War once and for all. Go in with overwhelming force and blow the dust bunnies out of anything the enemy had. My Cowboys were sent to support the fleet and to watch out for anything the enemy might throw at us. I honestly thought it would be a cakewalk. I mean, who would ever attack something the size of Third Fleet? That would be crazy…

The Japanese culture of the Twentieth Century was heavily rooted in the idea that the Japanese race was superior to all others. Even other Asians were less human than the Japanese, and so they knew without doubt that the world would bow to them in time. This bone-deep belief was bolstered as they watched the Europeans make the insane decision to release their hard-won conquests throughout the world. Japan saw that as a sign of weakness and chose to act on it.
I’ve seen men that can survive in the vacuum of space. I’ve seen men that can live in the deepest darkest caves. I’ve seen men obviously designed to live on high-gee worlds, and I’ve seen people who lived inside the zero-gee environments of asteroids. I’ve seen people who should be in super hero comics, and some that should be in horror movies. But do the government schools teach about them? Oh no. They claim that more study is needed. Whatever.
Many people were afraid of what a computer would learn about humanity if it watched them. They feared it would see how bad we were. But while Amber saw the warts, she also saw that most people just wanted to live and be happy. She recognized the failures and learned to hope for the successes. And in time she found people willing to influence the results. She contacted them and watched over them as they did what she asked. They made a difference.
Japan came out of World War I as a major power in the world. Industrially and technologically they were on the cusp of modern naval design and production. Their society balanced feudal and modern styles and the island nation marched into the future without compare. The operative word of course is “marched.” Japan was the preeminent power in Asia and intended to maintain that state of affairs. They were not gentle overlords.
