Memory Dump
I hadn’t a name for several years now. In the same way my brother and I hadn’t a mother, or a real home, or anything but tattered rags on our backs. Or in the same way my brother and I hadn’t a ticket when we snuck aboard the train heading Federation West. I wasn’t sure what was waiting for us there, but it had to be better than the dusty plains and tumbleweeds of Federation East.

Glitch in Society
I was relatively certain it was the morning for two reasons. First, there was the aches of my joints from sleeping in one position all night. Followed by the distinct bitter taste that mornings typically left in my mouth. It had to be morning, but my CORE display said otherwise. I blinked a few times in rapid succession, but the world that stretched out before me was nothing more than a black void. Immediately, I started to panic. The worst case scenario: being suffocated by darkness forever, became a clearer and clearer stroke of reality as the seconds dragged on. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself. “It was simply a minor bug or glitch in the system.” I reassured myself. As with all programs CORE was not immune to technical difficulties. I knew that first hand as one of their lead systems programmers. Suddenly, a light out of the dark, a pop up wrapped around my display that read: SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. SERVERS WILL BE ONLINE SHORTLY. I breathed a sigh of relief and fell back into the comforting embrace of my covers. I was grateful to get at least another half hour of sleep in before the day finished loading.

A Glitch in Society
I was relatively certain it was the morning for two reasons. First, there was the aches of my joints from sleeping in one position all night. Followed by the distinct bitter taste that mornings typically left in my mouth. It had to be morning, but my CORE visual display said otherwise. I blinked a few times in rapid succession, but the world that stretched out before me was nothing more than a black void. Immediately, I started to panic. The worst case scenario: being suffocated by darkness forever, became a clearer and clearer possibility as the seconds dragged on.
