Jade's Tale: My
life has been marked by the events of World War III, the arrival of 'the
Visitor,' and the aftermath. I was born in 1989, the daughter of a
Chicago district attorney and a Chicago PD detective. To this day,
my twin brother and I don't know who's older. Last I knew, he was
finishing up graduate school. As for me, I'm a doctor, and have been
for a while now. I guess you could call me a prodigy, a genius,
something. All I know is that I was in medical school as a young
teenager, and joining the United Earth Armed Forces after I graduated from
med school. I was recruited right out of the University of Chicago
into the Marine Corps -- I got additional years of schooling at the
Citadel, which had survived the destruction of many major cities during
the war.
I have two brothers and a sister -- one brother is
my twin, James. Then there's Kingston, my sister, two years younger
than Jim and I, and finally there's John, four years younger than Jim and
I, nicknamed Jack by the family. I have since learned that not only
do all of them hate me, but they work for the enemy -- brainwashed by none
other than my fiancé's father into working for the wrong side.
I didn't know until it was almost too late.
I went to public schools until my graduation at an
early age, and from there I entered the honors program at the University
of Chicago. I graduated with more than one bachelor's degree and
went on to U of C's medical school. I did my internship at County
General, and by the time I was finished there, I knew I didn't want to do
my residency there -- it wasn't that the people weren't wonderful -- most
of them were -- but working there just wasn't for me, and I knew it.
When I graduated medical school, I was a little anchorless. I
thought of going back to school for a master's or even a Ph.D in one of
the other fields I'd studied, but I was rescued from the fate of eternal
student by a recruiter for the UEM. I was swept up by the
opportunities offered by the military, and after a few years at the
Citadel, training in a few more skills, I graduated and became an officer
in the Marine Corps. Alas, much to the dismay of many who served
with me later, the one thing that the Marine Corps was never able to kill
was my bad attitude -- I admit, I probably need an attitude adjustment,
but at this stage in my life, there's not much that can be done for me and
my attitude that I can't do for myself. It has gotten better, but
I'm not sure it'll stay this way -- not if some things in my life don't
change, like the behavior of some of the people closest to me.
I served aboard the carrier Daedalus before
my posting to the SDF-1. Aboard the carrier, I met some of
the people I work with now, including many of the Veritech pilots and
members of the bridge crew here aboard the SDF-1.
I think one of the things I miss the most about
being home, with my family in Chicago, is the dogs. My family used
to bring up German Shepherds for the Chicago PD, and then we'd take in
some of the retired dogs. I grew up loving sheps. I have one,
now, Shadow -- who used to have a predilection for chewing on things he
wasn't supposed to -- and hopefully I'll have him for a long time.
I love good music -- you know, the music I grew up
listening to -- all those 90s bands and all. Some of the
songs...they just get to me. I don't know
why. They just do. Into the deepest part of me. I
don't think I'll ever understand why...then again, I'm not even certain
I'll ever understand myself.
As time's worn on, I've begun to develop a new
understanding for a lot of things, but never really myself. Once you
get right down to it, my fiancé and daughter probably know me better than
I know myself. I'm not sure if that should frighten me or not.
Michael sure as hell knows my brothers and sister better than I do -- and
I thought I knew them better than anyone.
Then, I learned the truth.
It was a hard truth to learn that out of my
parents' four children, I was the only one who was saved. I say
saved because there's really no other term for it. We were altered
before we were ever born so that we would be living weapons to fight the
Invid -- psychics who held the key to the future of Earth. My
brothers were taken away by the KGB and trained to be killers without
asking why -- brainwashed into being evil, evil men that I now wonder if I
will ever really know again. My sister was originally part of the
anti-unification movement until our youngest brother mind-raped her and
brainwashed her into working for his masters.
I think the only one I have any hope for is Jim,
but that's because I've yet to see him. I've faced Johnathon and
Kingston, and I don't like what I saw, or what I felt.
Jack says he'll be back for Roiya. I told
over my dead body. I think he would kill me to get to her. I
think that's one of the most disturbing thoughts of all.
Not that Roiya probably couldn't rip his mind in
half from the womb already. I think she knows I wouldn't like that,
though.
God. Why did this have to happen to
me? Why my family? Why? |
