There were times when Ryo seemed that it never really had a past, and life seemed to begin only in 'while he was living at the precise moment when it was attacked by this ridiculous thought. In those moments the memories appeared to be blurry, distant, unreal, designed with trimmed edges of dreams, and always ended by asking those who had never organized for him a similar hoax, in a cowardly way by rejecting the axiom that in this which we move is nothing but the consequence of our past actions.
Anyway, pretend not to have had a past to avoid having to admit its responsibility for the mistakes did not make him feel better. Never.
was really born in New York? It was really graduate? He really knew the Commodore Troisi and had sex with his young companion?
But most of all they had really taken on board that ship? Princess
USS, NCC-22751, Galaxy class starship. Grade Ensign, a medical officer job at second.
Ricordi. Dreams.
"Hey, are you alright?" Careful with that glass. "
"Yes, yes. I'm just a little absently." The beautiful
DELTANIA smiled at his side. It was clear that that lovely boy was hiding something, and now her feminine curiosity wanted to know what all the costs.
"Hey Ryo, is almost a week since we know each other. You did not do anything but stand here at the bar drinking, laughing, joking and flirting with girls. Yet there are times when I have the impression that you want to be anywhere else . You're a strange guy, sure to be in the right place? ".
"You have guessed to be sold, LIRY. Believe me, I should not be here. Not now, at least."
"In what way?".
"You see, I ...".
A week earlier, on board the USS Princess of Mars orbit. Infirmary.
.... I was happy, a week ago. Finally I was on board a real starship, the infirmary and I thought immediately efficient, well organized and full of beautiful nurses, especially.
I had just winked at one of these when I was intercepted chief medical officer, my immediate boss. Yes, LIRY. Do not interrupt me, please. You will understand everything later.
"Young man, I know what are you doing here? Apart bother my nurse, of course."
"Um, excuse me. Nice to meet you Dr. Vento.'m The cadet Ryo Hunt, and I will be happy to be her second, as I have conferred the rank of ensign."
I had documented before boarding. Dr. Light had a reputation as a cheerful man, a joker, so it does not bother me too much when I saw him to laugh so loudly that it seems out of place.
"And so she is the younger Hunt! What a pleasure to meet you, friend! His reputation precedes it."
"Thank you, doctor. I did not expect such a warm welcome. Neither have a reputation that preceded me, to tell the truth."
"Are you kidding?! She was able to go to bed the wife of Commodore Troisi! Less than twenty-four hours have passed since the news came out, but I assure you that throughout San Francisco are not talking about the other! I that within a few days become a kind of hero for all boys academy! Of course, it is already mine. have never been particularly sympathy for the Commodore. So arrogant, so full of himself. He gave a good lesson. Bravo!.
Although full of praise, the conversation began to be embarrassing for me, so I preferred to change the subject. Besides, I could not believe that the news had turned so quickly. "It 's a story of which I am not proud, I'd rather leave behind, Doctor. "
" Ah, yes, young man. I understand, I understand. But tell me, why is he here? ".
The doctor had a reputation for being a little distracted. That does not mind even to this second wake-up call." Yo, I've already said. Just give me the rank of Ensign I will be happy to serve as the second, these are the guidelines that I had on earth. "
" Ma .. must be a mistake, I have a second. Ensign Camden. And she does not figure in the organization of the infirmary. It 'sure I was assigned to me? ".
" Of course ... Double-check, must have the wrong
...". "No, I'm not mistaken, I'm sorry. It can check with your own eyes, if you prefer.
He handed me a d-Halls, and in fact my name was not anywhere.
Or rather, where it had appeared: Ryo Hunt, civilian employee at the bar of the bow .. .
Bar bow today.
"... and so, here I am. Obviously in the meantime the ship had already left, and nothing is protests earned him the first officer. I have not even allowed to talk to the captain. "
" It 's an incredible story. "
" Yeah. The Commodore has many friends at the office assignments, must not have been hard to play this dirty trick. "
" Well, it's nothing compared to what you did to him, "grinned the young DELTANIA." I had heard this history when we were boarding Utopia Planitia, but I had no idea you were the protagonist. This also explains that there is always the lively chatter when you're on duty. It seems to me that too many looked the counter. "
Ryo regained his usual coolness, and performed in a bow by experienced waiter, complete with a towel on his right arm. "You'll have a reason LIRY do with it. As you see a celebrity on your side! The bar will be doing well."
LIRY turned serious. "Really you're lucky the situation?".
"Yes Let's face it ... I had the opportunity to undertake a year of specialization on board this ship only to my friendship with Commodore, not for my academic merits.
I passed in front of more people in leg and prepared me via this shortcut, and the bottom is a good thing. The work at the bar is not bad, you have plenty of free time and you know a lot of interesting people. A lot of girls especially. so I will not have to write my thesis as I had planned, but will not be a wasted year, at the end of his career can wait. And then I'm all day with a nice DELTANIA like you, what do I want? ".
The DELTANIA appreciated the sincerity and strength of mind of the boy. He still had the courage to think of the thesis and a career in Fleet after having made a powerful enemy and vengeful as the Commodore Troisi. But Hunt could not be so naive as to not know how they were made to help his friend when he was with the same tenacity would work to destroy it now that they had become enemies. Anyone else in his position would have accepted the fact that his career was over even before it began, and not would lose a moment to resign and return to Earth to work privately. But
LIRY knew nothing helped lessen his dignity with those arguments, so let them lose and decided to encourage him. After all, the land was a nice guy mate nice bar.
"You'll see, you'll be fun. The crew is not even complete. We still have to take on staff from Starbase 876. Have you ever been on a Ferengi?".
"No, when you dock?".
"Three days," LIRY gave him a wink. "And I'll show you how much fun can be purchased with just a few credits."
Ryo smiled. Whatever was his past, he still had a future to build.
"Young man, a raktajino.
"Now, Lieutenant."
