Biography
I can't believe how stupid I was. Yeah, 'Come to Mars, Help Make a New World!' How could I have believed that crap? I remember laughing at that stuff with my friends. We'd drive up to Chicago and do the big city. We could always tell we were in the wrong parts of town when we started seeing prop-balloons floating over the streets, blaring out corporate BS. You?d hear incredible lies from the Army, Merc Corps, PDNC, Ultor -- all the big orgs that wanted to put warm bodies in bad places. You wondered who'd buy those lines and sign up. Now I know. Jake, you could see doing it. He signed up for the Navy right out of high school. He had no choice, really. When you barely make it out of HS and there aren't any jobs, you take what they offer you. He's on a Navy cruiser out in the Belt somewhere, last I heard. It's like the Wild West all over again, he says. Prospectors, claim-jumpers, company goon squads, you name it. Life's cheap out there and it's a seller's market. He'll end up sucking vacuum before his tour's over.
