Before the incident (1)

""...""

I remained silent as I skimmed through Orland's file. Nothing out of the ordinary—basic physical description, job history, name, age, current status (recently changed from "AWOL" to "Terminated"), a few operation logs, psyche evaluations, and some routine health reports, all standard data, more or less.

What I was really looking for was something deeper. His personal history, or at least whatever version of it the Executerii had deemed fit to record.

Then something caught my eye.

""Married Lisa Amande in 1200 PC on January 16th...""

I paused, processing the date.

((9 years ago...a few months before I was "born" too, or would "activated" be the more accurate term? Is this a coincidence? No. Coincidences aren't this convenient))

I remained blank faced, but internally I was considering the implications with a foreboding feeling.
