In retrospect, I should not have touched the artifact. In my defense, there was little time to weigh possible outcomes being pursued by a perfected death squad tends to limit the available mental bandwidth for careful consideration beyond a certain very low threshold, it was the 26th year of the war. I was 25. I suppose that makes me one of the oldest of a generation born knowing nothing but the constant refrain, the numbing drumbeat of never ending propaganda and partisan news of the conflict between imperium and perfected. Not that my childhood was any different, any harsher than any of those that came before or after. For that matter, the frontier remained far from my birth planet. After all, I joined the fleet as soon as it was legally allowed. My practical upbringing hadn't provided the academic qualifications to make any of the tech tracks and I'd studied chemistry anyway. So navigation school was right out fleet being fleet. They overlooked my actual education and assigned me to a security specialist school. I was sent to a series of bases rather than scholarships, seeing little action. The uprising on Dotty five was something else affected forces. Managed to instigate an insurrection. I lost a leg and a few other choice parts of the fracas that followed. I went through a couple of months of rehab and came out the other side with some augments you can't get in your average meat shop. Those augments on board I qualified for and immediately applied to the commandos. Once the doc signed off on my fitness for duty, I made it through training and selection in the top 10% of my class of 13,000. I was subsequently deployed to the 14th interdiction fleet's ninth commando then bumped up to first Commando as a replacement. I'd been with the first through the latter part of the pancreat campaign long and hot enough experience to truly be considered one of the team.
