Chapter 7 by Nemo of Utopia Nemo of Utopia

Which Character Do You Wish To Play? (Name, Age, Sex, Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, Relationship Status, And Ethnicity In Title...)

Personal Middle Names Family, [Male Hispanic Names,] 89 Years Old, (Adjusted Age: 45,) Male, Male, Heterosexual, Single, And Hispanic.

You were born in Venezuela, in the slums, but we're too smart for that life and through audacity and a lot of hard work you rose to be a trusted confidant of Colonel Corazon Santiago. When she orchestrated the infiltration of the Unity mission by members of the Spartan Federation, you were naturally chosen as a member of the team. You all managed to get your hand-picked group of 3000 Spartans aboard undetected, but some mysterious force disabled your reprogramming of the wake-up sequences: AFTER launch... Still, though the plan changed it came off better than expected; three colony pods seized and no unified U.N. government to oppose you. You have lived on Planet for 30 years, and though the faction is doing well, your personal life is not as good.

You were bereaved of your wife of seven years due to a Mindworm attack ten years after planetfall, and only now are truly getting over the loss. You've decided it's time to start dating again, but your position as governor of Centurion Cave makes that hard. Not only do you work long hours keeping the Drones working and identifying individuals who have grown un-supportive of the Spartain Cause, but you also must ever be cautious of spies and what the people in the English speaking segments of earth used to refer to as 'gold diggers'.

Like the leaders of the major factions you are able to avail yourself of a "Sleep Tank", the special vats of arcane nutrient solutions and alien nanites from the many 'monoliths' scattered over the face of Chiron. This allows you to remain effectively frozen at 45 years of age for as long as you live, provided you continue to have Generalisima Santiago's favor as a base governor, and are willing/able to sacrifice ten weeks out of your life once every ten years or so for the regenerative trance. This means that many women desperately want to be your wife, because a base govornor's S.O. also is entitled to use the regeneration tanks: yet another reason to be cautious about entering a relationship.

So it is that you sit at your desk, reading over the reports on the base's conditions and wishing you could find a woman whoose genuine interest in you for your personal merits was not in doubt: when there is a knock at the door of your office...

Who Is Knocking?
