| Matthew Douglas was born on Earth... thirteen years
before the Aquarians arrived. Thirteen years before the world
found out that it was going to die. Before that, he was a pretty
scrawny kid, one who learned how to fight in order to defend himself
from the schoolyard bullies... and one who thought his world would
never change. How wrong he was. An impressionable age like that can lead to many things, and, in
this case, it lead to his desire to become an NCI. A pilot.
When he was of age, he took the proper tests... and scored quite high
on them. He was not the best of them all... definitely not one
of the Five Aces... but his skills did rate him at A-9. Average
intelligence, but very powerful will and psyche. Perfect for Escort duty.
No, this wasn't what Matt had wanted. Not at first. But
the more he trained as an Escort pilot, the more he learned about how
he could operate them, and the more he realized that he loved this
job. He and his AI (who hasn't been made yet, but I'm working on
it) meshed perfectly, and within just a few years, he was ready to
perform the duties of an Escort NCI.
Of course, this is, in reality, a rather BORING job, as there is
pretty much never any combat... ok, NEVER any combat... but just the
training, and the knowledge that his mission is important keeps him
going. That, and the little bit of time he does get to himself,
practicing ground combat tactics and such. |
