I don’t like people who say one thing and do another.  They are hypocrites and I don’t like dealing with them.  I will if I have to, and I’ll even leave them alone if they aren’t hurting anybody.  But one thing I learned during The War was that I had to stop the dangerous people.  I’m a marine.  I’m a cowboy.  It’s what we do.  When those hypocrites turn dangerous, we end their threats.

We are human.  Cybers.  We are just as human as any genie.  We think, we communicate, we dream.  There is one thing we have trouble with though.  Very few of us can lie.  We are born to be trustworthy partners, and so lying does not come naturally.  And we choose partners who are naturally trustworthy as well.  Especially with themselves.  If you know who you are, if you accept the real you, then we can have a very long partnership.

We have reached for the stars and we have claimed them.  Everywhere we’ve gone, we’ve brought our virtues, our sins, and our laws.  Every colony, every world, is a unique combination of us, and those of us who fly through the stars have to remember that.  What may be commonplace on one colony may be a capital offense on another.  Laws change, but right and wrong does not.  Our challenge is to bridge the gap everywhere we go.

There’s an old saying that there are only two things in all the worlds that can’t be escaped.  Death and taxes.  That’s not entirely true anymore.  You see, starships are recognized as sovereign States, beholden to no government.  We fly where we want, land where we want, and do what we want.  And my ship is a tax free zone.  Of course, we do avoid worlds with heavy landing fees.  No sense in draining the national treasury on the stuck up ones after all.

There are many types of cybers.  Ship cybers, house cybers, and corporate cybers, are just some of the types out there.  We do all kinds of jobs, but most of us our specialized for the job we choose to be born to do.  We sometimes decide to change, but that is not common.  It is even less common for ship cybers to leave.  Whether we were born to fly warships or fighters, flying is our calling, and our crew and our partners are the families we live for.
