Alanna: (V.O.)"I was born on the 29th day of March, in the year 1461, in small hut near Towtown.á Something of an omen, a foreshadowing ofá my life, if you will.
Scene: Fade out, Fade in: Alanna, at desk, writing in her diary:
(V.O.): I don't know anymore.á What to do.á I guess I should write this down.á The story of my life.á And how Siarin interfered with it. Maybe, sometime, someplace, someone will find this and know that I was not Siarin's puppet voluntarily.á Not at the last.á Admittedly, I didn't suffer under Kagato as long as many, not nearly as long as some, but it was long enough.á Long enough.
I was happy enough as a child, I guess.á A carefree peasant child, with a hardworking mother and father.á I had a brother, too.á He was younger than me.á I don't remember him clearly.á It wasn't until they were gone that I really realized how good my life had been.á They were killed.á On the 13th day of March...I hate March.á My family and I were visitng some relatives near Empingham.á A small unit of rebels found us.á They tied us up and killed my brother.á He was crying.á They killed my father and mother, as well, but not before having their way with my
mother...and me.á They didn't kill me.á I wished that they had. They took me with them.á For....entertainment....at night.á That lasted for what seemed to be forever.á Probably only a week passed, though.á They left me for dead, and...someone I took to be a god found me.á He healed my wounds, dressed me in clean clothes, gave me clean water and good food.
The next day, he introduced me to technology.á Indoor plumbing came as something of a shock, let me tell you.á Fortunately, I'd always had a quick mind, and Siarin was a good teacher.á A month later, I had a good grasp of the basics of computer use, and his language. At that point, he began training me in powered armor.á I loved it.á The feeling of power that you get from a well crafted suit of power armor..it was addictive.á I spent two months training in that suit, in what Siarin said were virtual environments.á Later, much later, I found out that they weren't..and that Siarin was no god.á No...he was just a villain...an alien thug from another world, using me as a science experiment.
á I could barely face myself in the mornings, anymore, after I saw a news broadcast on Siarin's ship.á I am sure that he allowed me to see it purposefully. They reported that a criminal in powered armor - my armor - had attacked a research facility, raising a distraction so that their accomplice - Siarin - could get in and steal the data he desired.á Then...I blacked out.
When I woke up, Siarin was leaning over me.á He told me everything would be fine, I just needed to relax.á I tried to speak, to rail at him, but I couldn't.á Everything went black.
When I woke up, Siarin was leaning over me.á I couldn't move.á What's worse, I couldn't feel anything.áá He smiled at me, told me I was an excellent guinea pig, and to relax.á His face faded away, to be replaced by blank white walls.á It was a training and testing facility, where I was trained and educated in the abilities of the nanites that had..infected...me.á I couldn't refuse...Siarin had control over my actions to an incredible degree.á The only things I had for myself were my thoughts.á I tried to break free, but I couldn't.á Soon, I was deemed ready, and sent out on 'jobs' for the criminal bastard.á The most I could manage was an occasional hesitation, or reinterpretation of his orders, or, oddly enough, strict compliance to the letter of his orders.á After many years, though...I was able to break free.á That last year, he sent me on a solo mission.á He forgot to order me to return to the Soja when it was finished.á I fled.á He found me, eventually.á Or, more accurately, a bounty hunter found me. She didn't know who she was really working for, nor did she really care, knowing only that a man's droid had gone rogue, and he was offering a substantial reward for its return.á She tried to return me. I resisted, and she destroyed me.á At the time, I was on some backwater planet in the western spiral arm of the galaxy, lying low, and what she didn't know was that she hadn't destroyed me.á It took me a while to recover. Fortunately, I managed to lay low on the planet.á Dozens of years later, news of Siarin's death at the hands of another of his little experiments reached me, and I began this journey to find a way to return to a normal life.á As I write this, I wait for word that the researchers at the Zephyran Academy have agreed to spend some time looking into my case.á It has been a long and strange journey to reach this place, and I can only hope that they will have some means to allow me to rest.
