Galaxiki Community BlogSubscribe via RSS PreeowJuly 22, 2008by thegreatpl “Reeeos Jeerow? I’m afraid there is a slight problem. It’s your son. No, no, he is alive. The problem is that a mutation appears to have crept in during gestation. Yes I’m afraid your son is malformed. He cannot survive without life support machines. However, there is one option. A Khan authorised and run project for kids just like your son has been set up. No I’m not 100% sure what it is all about. This is the first time since it was set up. All I know is that there is a high likelihood of the kids gaining a lot of honour, for themselves and it might extend to the clans themselves. Yes Yepto is involved, and also I believe are a bunch of Etherin scientists. Yes certainly my Reeeos, I will enter your son into the project. Yes of course…” * * * Preeow braced himself. He knew what was coming. And then the blackness closed over him. He could sense nothing. He knew that outside the techs were busy transferring his body into his new shell. Preeow began to slowly count the minutes in the darkness. And he also began to draw upon his past for comfort. * * * In the Brain nurseries, the brains played for most of the day. There was lots of games to play, such as power drain, hide and seek, racing, tag and lots of other games. It was here that the brains played until they were about 5 years old, then they went up into the lower school. In the lower school they learnt lots of basic stuff that all the Brains would need. They had also gotten a bigger shell. This shell had a lot more appendages to play around with. They still had a playtime, although they mostly played more grown up games. This was when they started to realise that all the games had a purpose and taught them something, or helped with skills they would need in later life. At around 10 they chose what careers they would like in later life. Preeow chose to become a Bolee Oloee, which was one of the more honourable careers, and would make his clan proud. Most of the class became either Bolee Oloees or ships, which gave them the most honour. Only the best were taken in to become Bolee Oloees; there was little need for any of them and they brought in the best honour. Ships were always needed, and plenty of people wanted to become them. They rarely brought in much honour; few of them ever went into military service. The rest of them often went into civil jobs. Several were hired by Yepto there on the spot, although it would be years yet before they saw any work or return. They would mostly be stationary, and would never move under their own power. They also wouldn’t gather much honour. This meant there were very few of them. But an advantage is that they would be free sooner. None of the shell-people were slaves, although the Khanate did allow slavery. The Khan had been adamant that they weren’t and never would be. However, they still had to pay off the cost of their education and their bodies. This could mean years of all their pay going to pay off this debt. And the ships and Bolee Oloee were the most expensive things to become. At around 15 they entered their careers, and transferred shells into the body they would inhabit, most likely for the rest of their long lives. That was what Preeow was doing now. * * * Light burst back on as his sensors were connected to his mind. He surveyed his new body. It was a Bolee Oloee mark 5, the first mark to use shell-people. He began to run a systems test upon his new body. The engineers hadn’t unlocked a lot of his systems, but he had full control over a lot of his sensor blisters. He ran them all out and surveyed his new body and power. To become a Bolee Oloee you had to be trust worthy. The Khan didn’t want anyone with the kind of firepower he was awarding the brain inside loose and attacking his citizens. And Preeow was very trust worthy and good at what he did. Finally the engineers and technitions released Preeow’s drive mechanism, and Preeow rolled out of the Yepto Bolee Oloee factory and onto the transport ship. It was another shell person, although she had graduated several years ahead of Preeow. They said hello and talked until she deposited Preeow at the military training base. There Preeow began to practice. The Khan was busy preparing for a great war, and Preeow would be a part of it, gaining honour for his clan and the Khan.
