Chapter 1 - 02: The Month is September

A discussion was continuing in the room. "How are you feeling? Any drowsiness? Sickness?"

"I'm fine. Just tell me what's going on. I can't remember anything at all. The only thing I remember was that room and how familiar it looked."

"It's familiar because you've been in that room before. A lot of this ship will seem familiar to you. As you might have already noticed, you have some form of amnesia. This state was induced on purpose."

"Why?"

"The reason will be revealed to you later when you have been reconditioned for proper function in the human social system. All I will tell you know is that you have been identified as a good leader and skilful in the art of dogfighting in space."

"What would that mean?"

"You will be assigned to be the leader of a squadron of scout fighters on the exploration vessel Kirkor. Of course, you will have to be trained first."

"Training?"

"You are most certainly talented at this, but you need to know more about yourself first. Take this file. We'll begin simulations tomorrow in a fake cockpit. Get some sleep."

Harrison promptly stood up and left Kanya in the room. The file was full of clippings and photos. Kanya was in for a long night. He studied the file intently.

According to the file, he was an expert pilot of fighter class ships and frequently led raids and attacks against bases much larger than his own. From his records, he frequently succeeded. It also said he was quite adept at repairing things regardless what it was.

He gleaned through loads of photos, from those with his parents and siblings, to those with his former squadron. The record stated that his squadron was ambushed and killed during a scout mission. It felt wrong. He knew that it wasn't true, but didn't know what part of it was wrong.

But if it were true, would it have been the purpose of his memory erasure? He was thinking deeper. It was probably more likely they stumbled upon something they shouldn't have. He somehow recalled being told stories of these people whose memories were erased. He even remembered some of them being assigned to the ship he was assigned to.

Losing himself in deep thought, he suddenly realised someone was knocking on the door. A female voice beckoned, "Is it OK for me to come in?"

Tests Are Over, Break Is Nearing

Today, I completed my Maths A midsemester test. While I wouldn't say that I did it at my best, since I cut it pretty close, writing my answer all the way to the last second. Then again, it might be me and my affinity for lengthy explanations to even the simplest of answers. With that said, my break is nearing as Easter looms near. I have this Friday off, as well as the whole of next week. Expect frequent blogging interruptions when I have too much fun for my own good next week. I expect to be busy finishing some games and probably starting new ones as time passes.

I'm am posting this from the ICT Building of Melbourne Uni over the wireless connection. (Yes, Arrow's Internet has been going bonkers lately. I'm a very patient person. At least I'd like to think so. Who cares? As long as my consoles are working, the problem is pretty miniscule.)

What Shall I Do?

I've got a test on Wednesday. Hoho. A Maths test. I'm not entirely sure if I need to study. I'm going to do a sample test right after I'm done with this post. Expect a few days hiatus as I study. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

A Slightly Eventful Weekend

As you might have noticed, there was a sudden break in my daily posting pattern. For some reason or another, I was pretty busy the past few days. On Friday, I went to college and came back. I then proceeded to forget about the blog until later, when I decided to invite u238 over to help me with my Maths and sort out Magic cards. We played a few video games before getting down to work.

On Saturday, I woke up late, went out for lunch with Shockrave, tutored Shockrave briefly on how to play Magic, then played a few rounds to get to grips with the game. Later, we went out for dinner with u238 and luijin. We then proceeded to have long bouts of videogames including my housemate in the process.

My housemate couldn't play for long since he had work and of course, other engagements in the night. We eventually proceeded to tutoring luijin in the art of playing Magic, and shortly after, we played a huge, drawn-out 4 player melee. This was followed by an even longer drawn out melee. By the time we ended and I showered and everything, it was well into the night, and minutes to midnight. I decided to put off blogging.

Today, I finished off whatever homework I had, completed my tutorial sheet for the week. Then, I went out for lunch with Shockrave again,following that, a visit to Dungeon of Magic to grab a few more cards, then rested for a while. During this rest period, I built two more decks, tested them later when Shockrave came over to help cook pasta for dinner.

Then, after dinner, I went up to the tenth floor for the floor party and stayed there until about 10pm when it ended. And after some deliberation over whether I should save the assignment for later or do some of it now, I decided on doing some of it now. Hah.

And then, that brings us to the time that is now.
