World War II did not make Europe a peacenik society. The most militantly peacenik movements had their day of course but fell to the harsh realities of life on Earth in the end. They continued to spar with others and themselves, but they rarely went to full-scale war. Europe never wanted to see another of those on their soil ever again. In some ways it reduced the greatest powers on Earth to footnotes. In other ways it made them far more devious and dangerous in their methods of fighting.

A lot of my new life goes back to Gamma Trianguli.  Free Tibet.  Shambhala.  I was at a crossroads when I went there.  They helped me decide what I wanted to do with my life.  I know lots of people give me credit for helping them out of a pretty serious bind.  Some even say I saved them.  But fact is, they saved me.  I don’t know what I’d be doing now if I hadn’t met them.  But I don’t think I’d like me as much if I hadn’t.

Many of the best third generation virtual worlds required top-of-the-line computer systems to run. At first this limited the player base to a fraction of the population, but technology improved and cheapened the ability to get better performance out of comparatively lower technologies. Then the second advent of dedicated home gaming consoles revolutionized that generation of virtual worlds in a way that nobody expected. They laid the foundation of the fourth generation worlds.

If one good thing came out of World War II, it was that Europe never fought each other again. They learned the horrors they could inflict on each other, and for the first time they were recorded in motion pictures and immortalized in photos of destroyed cities. Humanity could ignore what they did, but never again could they forget. And Europe has chosen in all the centuries since that those are one set of horrors they will never again inflict on each other.

I retired after War’s End.  Took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.  Hooked up with old friends of course.  Handled a crisis or two you’ve heard about if you’re reading this.  And then…well…that’s when things got interesting.  When one life ends, it really gives you options to reinvent yourself.  It took me a while to decide how I wanted to do that.  Let’s just say that Gamma Trianguli had a hand in helping me decide.
