I believe without a doubt the Prides’ scientists will figure out the workings of the Fragments and Artifacts long before man understands woman. I just had to say that. Now, on to the briefing. I have a sister. Actually, to keep things simple at this stage, let’s say I had a sister. Past tense. I was ten turning on eleven when my parents died in that freighter explosion. My sister, Celica, was almost sixteen. With the death of our parents, and the fact we had no living relatives remaining, we were placed into the care of the Pharos authorities. I had no idea what that meant, and was terrified we would be separated, but the people in charge saw fit to have us live together in an apartment provided by the colony. I later learnt the Raynar Pride had taken responsibility for us, and seen fit to care for us after we lost our parents. It was the Raynars that arranged for my sister and I to live together. They also saw to our living expenses and other basic needs, as well as our compulsory education.
