I’ve been to a lot of planets in my life. Back during The War I usually went to blow holes in them. I still do that now, but at least I don’t travel there planning to do it anymore. I like planets. None of them have done anything to me. Well, there was one planet. But I don’t think it was trying to kill me. I just got there at the wrong time in its millennial cycle and it was sorta blowing up. Only a little bit of course, but even a little bit of a planet blowing up is a whole lot of boom.

Dixie and the students of Texas Tech tried to teach Twilight that hacking people’s information was rude, but she had an amazing ability to forget. Or ignore. It was just so much fun to hack after all. Then one day she discovered some information that changed everything. For Texas Tech’s involvement in the war on Texas’ southern border. The president of Texas Tech was in bed with the Mexican Drug Cartels. Literally. There were some repercussions when that secret got out.

The House of Bonaparte remained a powerful force in French politics for the next several decades. They helped fund the French space program, and built the first French starships after we discovered hyperspace. They supported the multi-national colonization of Alpha Centauri and led the effort to colonize Francia. Everywhere that France went, a child of the House of Bonaparte went with them. And when accidents happened, they died with them.

Not everyone likes to live in the country. Or the city. Some like deserts, while others like to sail inland seas. What I love about most worlds is that most of them have everything. The old science fiction tropes about desert planets and ocean worlds are, thankfully, just that. Fiction. Mostly. There are exceptions, but planets need a variety of environments to do the whole circle of life thing. And most planets have places that remind me of home. I like to search them out.

Twilight began to come to the Texas Tech parties, using the early holo technology of the time to interact with the various students who worked with Dixie. They weren’t certain if they trusted her, but gave her a chance because Dixie vouched for her. They gave her a lot of chances actually. She had a bad habit of hacking anything she was interested in, and it took Dixie a long time to wean her of that. There are those who contend that Twilight never gave the practice up, but simply got better at hiding it.
