----------- INCEPTION 2067 was the year I died for the first time... It was painful. Had I known how often I'd be expected to die over the next several millennia, I might have made a stronger effort to stay dead. The year actually started off rather nice. I finished my PhD in high energy physics and was promoted to Lieutenant Commander in the United States Air Force. My first posting after the promotion was to the Lunar One Air Base where I worked with my father, Dr. Robert Kimbridge on "The Project." "The Project" was our name for a VASIMR Ion Drive interplanetary space craft that used Thorium LFTR reactors for both shielding and power. Capable of a sustained point one G of acceleration, our prototype was expected to make the Mars run in less than a week. By the end of November the ESX Arizona was ready for her first trial runs and I was her pilot.

History has an odd way of repeating itself.

----------- REDEMPTION 2123 was not my best year... Let me state for the record... Dying is not fun and is definitely overrated. This was the year the newly formed Galactic Coalition of Planets faced it greatest threat since the D'lralu invasion. The almost omnipotent Heshe sought to redeem themselves for past sins. The problem with this type of redemption was the price others sometimes pay for your salvation...
------------ EXPLORATION 2124 was an interesting year... I was court-martialed, demoted and sentenced to perform hard labor for the rest of my natural life... Then things got rough. "Commodore Catherine Kimbridge... It is the judgment of this court, that for crimes against the people of the Galactic Coalition of Planets -- namely a wanton dereliction of duty in allowing the murder of a head of state in your custody -- that you should be demoted in rank to private and transported in chains to the Sagatori asteroid penal colony in the Ashkelon star system. There you will remain for the rest of your natural life."
