Why do you need this again? Well that’s weird. I guess it all started when I was growing up in the orphanage just outside of Indiana. I wasn’t “the most attractive child” there. Because of my abnormal birthmark that lays right across my face, I didn’t have much of a chance of getting adopted.
But life was ok, I was a pro at getting attached to friends that would come and go. my school life wasn’t the best over the years, but it was normal. After I became too old to be able to get adopted I started living on the streets pick pocketing whoever to survive.
I guess that’s where I started to truly understand how the world works. One day after I got out of school I was pulled aside by one of my teachers. At that time, no one knew what I was doing or where I was living. He looked me straight in the eyes and said. “I see you didn’t finish your essay on what you're going to do when you're done with your academics.” I could feel the disappointment in his voice.
It wasn't the first time I heard it from another teacher. Word around school traveled fast that I was homeless. Popular girls would constantly follow me and say that I could always stay with them anytime. But I knew what they were trying to do.
The years went by I managed to get into college by a hair. By doing so I got my first official friend & earned a proper job as a small medic that my education helped me get.
A couple of months later, I stumbled across a small desk job for MIRA (which now thinking back upon it, I wouldn’t have found it without my partner.)
It took a lot of long nights and hard work to maintain staying on the team. After 3 short years working there I was informed that they were in need of a medic for the mission.
I talked it over with my partner Finley and we both came to the same point. If I was recruited to go, I would still have to go through training with the rest of them… Well, time really passed, and I don’t know how to put to words how excited I am to be able to go on this journey.
PS: Please relay this info to my partner Finley, I forgot to remind them. “Don’t set the apartment on fire, if you see something scary, call me, and remember I love you. And yes I’ll bring you space rocks!!”
