They said we were dangerous, different. We asked who we were dangerous to. They wouldn’t really answer us. They had lots of words, but in the end we were dangerous because we wouldn’t do what they said. They were no better than the Shang. They tried to put us in chains. Our first response was a new Underground Railroad to keep our people out of their hands. They didn’t appreciate that and things got complicated fast.
Unity is a name that has been used throughout time, for many things, when we wanted to show that we were strong, undivided, and unbroken. Schools, cities, bluewater and blacksea ships, political parties, and even computer operating systems have been named Unity. It was only a matter of time before we created a Unity Colony Mission. It succeeded, and right now I teach high school history there. I have the highest student attendance record of any teacher there.
I enjoy Victorian Faires. The best ones are on British colony worlds of course, or in England itself. Charles and I dress up in our best clothing and walk around with all the other people in their fancy outfits. It is make believe of course, everyone trying to recreate a time long gone with technology at our fingertips that would seem like magic to the people of that time. But it is fun, and that is the most important point. We should all enjoy our lives.
NASA truly went where no one had gone before in the twenty second century. On ships that flew between four and twelve times the speed of light, they scouted over a hundred lightyears away. They spent decades in space. The Vulcan Missions left for The Wall in 2170. Most of them were not home when the Peloran made Contact. It was years, over a decade for some, before their crews found out. They were the last NASA Astronauts, the last of a great generation.
When they wanted us controlled, they scared the people into thinking we were dangerous to them. It was class warfare performed by masters of the art. Charles sent me to fight back in my own way. I’m good with music and stuff, so I went on tour with T&J. Thank God they never believed the stories. I played instruments, sang, and did interviews. Put myself out there in the public and played the good little retired singing Cowboy. It was the best con of my life.
