... Thinking aloud and looking intently at what is in his hand, studying
it .... }
WHAT IS THIS DOING HERE? I don't remember this
being in here ... this is just some storage container where I have put
a few odds and ends over the years ... why yes, its a data crystal.
This must be ancient, as we haven't used this form of recording
and storing information for hundreds of years, since the Time of
Transformation took place. Our ancestors received this technology
from our friends on other planets. This gave humanity a way to record
their thoughts directly from their minds onto the crystals.
Hmmm ... this crystal looks like it was left by my relative rJis …
I can't believe how we could still have this ... as its been almost 400 years
since humanity has traveled throughout the stars … and the time of
rJis. Wait, the seal is intact, the information has never even been
viewed. Maybe Father placed this copy secretly into my cargo containers …
Dear dad, he's always wanted for us, his children, to remember our family history.
rJis is considered to be one of the most famous people from our past.
{ Pause ... thinking ... } Well ... I do have a few moments before
I must gon on watch at the Space Coordination Center at our orbital station
… I think I will just take a look! ( see Act 1
of this chapter for the information on the data crystal that Si-John reads
next .... )
As I read this data crystal … I recognize how far we have come
since those early days of the beginning
of the New Dawn … and I guess it is kind of synchronistic
that I would find this crystal exactly on rJis' birthday. But
then again, at this time, our lives are constantly filled with such
type of events. rJis truly was one of the key individuals to help
humanity move forward into the New Dawn. I really should give
this data crystal to our Historic Events Museum so they can have it on
display for all to see, adding it to the Galactic libraries …
but with this chance to actually experience an original data crystal
from rJis, I think I can wait a bit (Please don't tell anyone!!!).
I am a bit surprised that old rJis didn't give this to the
appropriate services. Well as everyone knows in my family, rJis
was quite a character and no one in our family could quite understand
him … he did some really crazy things but he left his legacy
for us ….
HMM ... WHAT'S NEXT HERE … oh, rJis's
description of Michael Richardson and Jamie Nielson his …
well let's just take a look and see what he has to say next …
