I’ve traveled from one end of colonized space to the other in the years since War’s End. Some planets are happy to see me. Others are happy to sell me supplies and usher me back out of their space. Sometimes the citizenry are happier to see me than the local governments. That’s actually pretty common if I’m being honest. It try to leave places in at least as good a shape when I leave as they were when I came. Sometimes a lot better. Though more than once I can point to a former government official who would disagree with me. But hey. I don’t much care for governmental types, so that’s fine by me.

Twilight fought Rogue AIs in her first season. The show featured groundbreaking special effects for the time, bringing the networks to life in a way the audience could experience. Disney even sued over similarities it had to one of their properties. The Republic of Texas courts did not find in their favor. The court case made many people aware of the struggling series for the first time though, and flocks of new viewers checked it out. Most dropped it, but enough stayed for the duration that the network extended the show for another season.

Have you ever had one of those times where everything was going your way? When you had everything you needed to accomplish everything you wanted to do? Yeah, they don’t tend to last long. People find out and suddenly they’re your best friend in need of money. Or they have a fleet of warships and claim that you owe them money. Interstellar debt collection can get so adversarial. Now I’m not going to deny that there wasn’t some…questionable transference of funs. But that’s no reason to be rude. And I’d worked far too hard to surrender. So I only had one choice.

Russia’s Quantum Curtain. The Great Firewall of China. All over the world, those networks that survived only did so because of the firewalls that closed them off to the other networks. By the time we returned to space, humanity’s networks were riven into over a dozen separate systems. No American computer could talk with a Chinese system because the physical and software links no longer existed. It has been over three centuries and our networks are still divided.

The Cowboys fought hard against the Chinese and the Shang during The War. The Russians didn’t enjoy our time with them either. The Hyades Cluster citizens saw us as liberators in the first few years of Peace. They listened when we showed up. And when we weren’t there they began to call us. We helped arbitrate disagreements. And we weren’t afraid to take arms when that didn’t work. We never claimed to represent the law. We just kept Peace. As well as it could be kept. That’s the genesis of the reputation we enjoy now.
