Chapter 1

I WAS LOOKING THROUGH AN OLD storage container when I discovered a data crystal, a form of recording information which we no longer use … gosh this technology is so old … left by my relative rJis … I can't believe that it has been almost 400 years since humanity has traveled through the stars … I am not even sure how we still have this copy … oh look, it has a special seal upon it showing that it has never been opened before … maybe my father left this copy and secretly put it into my cargo containers … dear dad, he always wanted us children to keep the family history fresh in our minds. Well I have a bit of time before I go on watch at the Space Coordination Center on our orbital station … I think I will just take a look! As I read this data crystal … I recognize how far we have come since those early days of the beginning of the New Dawn … and I guess it is kind of synchronistic that I would find this crystal exactly on rJis' birthday. But then again, these days our lives are constantly filled with such type of events. rJis truly was one of the key people to help humanity move forward into the New Dawn. I really should give this copy to our Historic Events Museum so they can have it on display for all to see, adding it to the Galactic libraries … but with this chance to actually experience an original data crystal from rJis, I think I can wait a bit (Please don't tell anyone!!!). I am a bit surprised that old rJis didn't give this to the appropriate services. Well as everyone knows in my family, rJis was quite a character and no one in our family could quite understand him … he did some really crazy things but he left his legacy for us …. HMM ... WHAT'S NEXT HERE … oh, rJis's description of Michael Richardson and Jamie Nielson his … well let's just take a look and see what he has to say next …
