I was just a child when the war broke out. On the surface, I still am. That is what they did to me.

The station I grew up on was razed from the black. By all accounts, no one survived. But I survived. And I suspect others did too, though I have never met one. Never met another whose skin was replaced by shaped plates of synthetic polymer, whose bones were invasively reinforced with the same stuff.

I don't know if I've even assessed all they did to me.

I may never know. I was 'programmed' to a certain extent. I could do things I'd never been able to before. But whatever use I was meant to be put to, I was never put to it. I was abandoned dirtside on a little rock in the white system.
