Thankfully, I turned out to be capsule compatible. The rest is a matter of record.

So, becoming a traitor, is "a matter of record"?
R-right...

You're stuttering again, Kimmy.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Not in somebody who has one routinely, no.

In somebody who does not ordinarily stutter, it's often a verbal "tell" indicating insecurity.

I was an analyst for the Federation Navy. That's about all I care to say.

Diplomat, one time State citizen, first hand witness to disaster, sometime dabbler in certain arts and esoteric fields, Federation citizen by default, and somehow capsuleer-ish. Nothing special.

Before I was a capsuleer, I was a fashion model, for one of the leading fashion design houses in Delve.

Law school graduate, worked for a Caldari interplanetary Tax Law firm for a few years back in Kisogo. That's pretty much it.

I really don't know what I was before I was a Capsuleer! I assume I was an Achuran of some description.

I was wealthy and spoiled. Not much has really changed, save that I get to travel a bit more often to much more distant locales.

Marine. Peace and Order Officer. Corporate Lawyer. Investment Banker.

Now I'm an Armaments Dealer and Corporate Mercenary.

I get all the best jobs that cause outrage on the Federal GalNet Blogs.

I was born and raised on a caravan. I grew up learning my trade from the Outriders, merchants and smugglers.

I'm now the Master of that caravan. Pretty good going, even if I do say so myself Cool

Did almost twenty years in the Federal Marines before leaving the service, figured would get down to the quiet life on Intaki doing a lot of fishing, growing and brewing coffee, and running a business, but found out was pod-compatible a coupla years after, and here I am.

I still fish, though.

Technician, born and bred. Made the family proud as I rose through the ranks of one of SuuVe's countless daughter companies, got my name on a few diagnostic tool patents and briefly had a very exciting life as me and my entire division was forcibly relocated to a different company under SuuVe. I never found out how the legal departments dealt with that little military action as I was discovered to be pod compatible and SuuVe paid my way from space stations to actual space.

No dead parents to avenge nor any great tale of drama, I'm afraid. Never been planetside though.

I used to think that - and I still say planetary ecosystems are wasteful of space - but I quite like stretching my legs planetside every now and then.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

That is... horrible. You seem unmoved by your history, though. Is that so?

Why does everyone assume that a creche upbringing is sub-optimal? Many of my happiest memories are of my sibkin and the times we had together growing up.

My response was less about the creche, though that is very alien to my own upbringing, but more about being raised as Kameira.

Oh right. That might be horrible, I'm afraid I have no frame of reference.
