Family, and the Company
Well, the Equinox is all fixed up now, as good as I can manage, and I get to take her out on her first job! I'm gonna be Captain Nary, how splash is that? Apo's gonna come with me too, so that'll make it even better. He'll be my first mate, heheh. I hope it all goes smooth, so that I'll get to do this more often after this - it could be a big break for me in the Company, plus of course lots of fun!
I talked to the cho some more about my folks... he says they're for sure in this secret prison camp, I forget the name of it, something long and Carpathian. He says that there could be some problems, even if they get released. That whatever's happened to them, whatever experiments or tests they've been doing on them, means that they've lost their memories. Nobody knows if it's all their memories, or just some of them, or whether there's anything anyone can do about it...
But even if they don't remember me, I want them back. I told Opalnyk I'd take care of them myself if I had to, and I meant it. I hope that wouldn't happen, but if I had to, I'd do it, for as long as it took them to get better. I mean, they're my parents. There's nothing else I could do.
So the cho's gonna get his brother, who's some big politico in NC, to try an' help with it. He says that they don't get along, but he thinks his brother'll help anyway, because it's the right thing to do - to release everyone there, not just my folks. So that's good, I guess. It seems like he's going to an awful lot of trouble over this, which makes me a bit worried, but I don't think I have a choice. It's not like I can go and bust into this camp and rescue them myself, or pull strings in the government to get them released... So if it means I gotta work for the Company for the rest of my life, well, I guess that's what I'll do. There are plenty of worse jobs out there, after all.
