We beat the Indians. They died by the millions, most to diseases and some to guns. We gave the survivors food, medical care, and alcohol, put them in reservations, and erased the history of a once-proud people. My family called it the “Solution to the Indian Problem.” It was not the only time they organized such a solution. It is merely the only one most who read this will recognize. I did what I did to make certain it never happened again.
The uplifted timberwolves were amazing to those of us who sought them out. I will always remember the first time one of them walked up beside me and rubbed his head against my hand. I scratched him behind his ear. I’m real happy he decided I was a friend. You see, there’s one thing I learned about them. They see only three types of people, friends, threats who are in the realm of the living, and threats that have been properly dealt with.
Not all of the Inner Colonies are racial or cultural blends. Smaller groups, like the Scottish on New Glasgow for instance, founded some Alliance colonies. And then there are the Russian and Chinese colonies. For each nation, colonists had to demonstrate absolute devotion to The State. And the vast majority of colonists came from only certain acceptable racial groups. The Chinese and Russian colonies achieved a uniformity that Western Alliance colonies never did.
Most people think of the Wild Wild West as the period from end of the Civil War till the 1880s, during the reign of the gunfighters. Historians generally consider it to take place from 1803, when the United States purchased Louisiana, to 1912 when Arizona became the 48th State of the Union. “Go West Young Man” was the mission statement of generations. To the Indians, it was a declaration of war, and they fought our march west with every trick of war they knew.
I grew up in northern Minnesota, where we had a special kind of dog. Timberwolves were the gengineers’ first wild project you see, and some called them a failure. Yes, they’re intelligent, but they refused to follow our rules. They escaped and disappeared into the wild. Then one day, a pack of Timberwolves walked into a rural town suffering from burglaries, dragging the burglar behind them. Let me tell you, he confessed his crimes to the sheriff real quick.
