lessons

After that there were no more incidents at the school, and someone leaked my video of fighting, it went viral in days which led to the immediate expulsion of the 3 idiots and the dismissal of the director, I really didn't want this result, but it benefits me a lot, my father works for a large company and is the lead designer for some of their projects, and my mother has great influence in rich families, so we don't fear any retaliation from those families either.

After that dad encouraged me to take basic martial arts classes with him, this boy surprises me more and more, his calm face hides many secrets, in my previous life I learned fighting style movements but no specific style. So this martial arts thing was new to me, it was difficult not to show my previous habits when it came to practicing and I don't know if it worked or not with the never changing face of my instructor.

Mom also began to be more demanding with my time in her art classes, I think she does not want to lose her position of being the favorite and showing how impressive she is because she took me to the vault of her masterpieces bragging, it was something inexplicable, never I had seen so much beauty, each and every one of the pieces ready to be exhibited, and right in the middle several sculptures of my father along with paintings next to him was my exhibition apparently well, there were several that I imagine would be me since I was a baby until now I never saw these pieces while they were being created.

I couldn't help but notice that there wasn't any from mom, which she decided to answer me that an artist who portrays himself will never portray the essence of himself from him. That the truth is that I still haven't understood what he means, I imagine it's simply because he doesn't seem like someone with a big ego.

So a few months passed, and I decided to enter engineering classes, we decided with my mother, not to skip more grades, due to how rare it would be for me to study with boys older than me, although personally, it was because I was still rarer to study with pubertals being an adult in the body of a child.

I decided to focus my attention on three things: my grades, my parents' classes, and engineering projects. In my past life, I had the intention of dedicating myself to being an engineer, but I never could.

I must say it's fun, I don't have time to add anything else to my schedule, but my parents' classes are rarely satisfying, they are two talented and overly caring people in their own way.

We were in the room eating when suddenly on television they began to announce the rebellious agitation of some colonies towards the UEG, the desire for a revolution of some colonies is not something new but in recent years there has been a worrying increase, after that, they put interviews with a high-ranking leader ensuring that they increase the security level of all the planets and begin a hard counterattack against the rebels.

"We have to start turning that off, there won't be any good news at lunchtime in the following days" we all agreed with mom's comment.

I am not impressed that there are rebel cells in an interplanetary government, what impresses me is that there has been a unification of governments on earth, and this has expanded to other planets without some earlier dissidence, I still do not know what their policies and most important characteristics, but it is something to admire for the human race.

Returning to the subject of the revolution, we are not very concerned about the matter, it may be selfish, but in my previous life and in this one it is common to take care of your own affairs. Ballast is part of the inner colonies so he is a bit removed from the conflict in the outer colonies where most of the rebels come from there. These have a long history of dissidence against the government but have only now begun to attack it.

Colonization is usually done by private companies that come to a planet for the extraction of resources and production of resources, for this employees or colonists are hired for the planet. Unlike the inhabitants of the Inner Colonies who had been selected with very strict rules and requirements, the recruitment rules for the Outer Colonies were more flexible. Because the main interests of the contractors were the extraction of valuable resources rather than having the best personnel, in many cases, the settlers were petty criminals, while others were illegally recruited. In addition, some colonists used legal or illegal means to escape Earth's control. All of these factors led the colonists to not have full allegiance to the UEG.

Earth and the Inner Colonies depended on the resources of the Outer Colonies, leading the UEG to keep them in check. However, as controlled space began to grow, Earth began to lose its logistical ability to control the more distant colonies. By 2490, the Outer Colonies outnumbered the Inner Colonies. With the increase in trade restrictions and taxes established by the CMA, the tension between the Outer Colonies and Earth increased even more. This caused many inhabitants of Earth and the Inner Colonies to feel threatened by the Outer Colonies, which in turn would lead to increased aggression and eventually numerous conflicts.

I sincerely believe that the achievement of humanity will end in a few more decades, the separation is inevitable unless the UNSC replicates the rebel cells with extreme force, which would calm the situation for a few more decades, and with the continued expansion of colonies the next wave of revolution will be the last.

But for now, we are safe, the inner colonies are the most watched by the UNSC, and since the war of inner colonies, or interplanetary wars there has not been a dangerous incident in these systems, the wave of revolution will take a few more decades to reach all the colonies and by the time that happens I will convince my family to retire to a safer system away from the war.

2553 Ivanoff Research Station, in orbit around Installation 03

a man is seen questioning a woman in a lab coat, "told me about the children" a thunderous silence replies "doctor Halsey?".

the woman turns to him and decides to reply "you already know all about that"

"you kidnapped them"

"Children's minds accept indoctrination easier, their bodies are more adaptable to improvement, the result was the ultimate soldier, thanks to that when the covenant invaded we were prepared"

"Doctor Halsey is manipulating history in her favor and she knows it. You developed the Spartans to fight the human rebellion, not to fight the covenant."

"When one human world after another fell, when only my Spartans stood between humanity and extinction, no one cared because they were originally created."

"Do you think that in the end your decisions were justified?"

"my work saved the human race"

"Do you think the lack of humanity of the Spartans was helpful?"

"what are you looking for? those who came before you were from naval intelligence, but you… You are something else"

"Reports indicate that the Spartans exhibited mild antisocial tendencies, difficulties with socialization and verbalization…" the woman decides to interrupt.

"The reports indicate an efficient behavior in risky situations, I only provided the tool with that efficiency"

The interrogator begins to prowl around the room "but do you think the spartans were successful because deep down they were not entirely human?"

"ahh that's what you want, you want to replace them"

"master chief and nightmare died"

"MIA" he denies strongly

This provokes a laugh in the interrogator "Catherine, do not the spartans die?"

"Your mistake is to see the spartans as military machinery, my spartans are the next step of humanity. Our destiny, do not underestimate them"

"Haha, it's okay, Dr. Halsey, one more question before we finish" the interrogator settles back in his seat.

"Doctor Halsey says that the process that she used with the infants at that time was necessary for the project to be successful, but tell us why the different treatment of 102 with him did not resort to cloning and identity theft, but excessive indoctrination"

"Because there was no need, the boy started from a totally different situation, he knew that with his intelligence and perception he would accept the deal" he takes a slight breath and his gaze becomes vague, remembering the past "I saw his eyes, he wanted more than anyone the power and strength that it offered, in them, there was no mind but revenge".
