306 Chosen

The orb in the middle of the painting, Zane has seen it before.

In reality.

An orb that looked like it had been shattered and then put together. It was a unique logo and the logic of the Innovative Server Foundation. ISF.

When he had ranked Second in CAT, Brain Maxwell had told him that he had to join the ISF, and that going to another place would be an insult to his intelligence.

He was not wrong. The Innovative Server Foundation was the most powerful research organization on Earth. They were behind almost all technological advancement on Earth, from the Spruce Dolphin, to Mist and their most popular invention, Parallel, which allowed them to occupy the position of neutrality in the wars between the Empire, the Federation, and the Alliance.

Why did their logo look like the symbol in that painting? Zane's lips twitched, he could tell that this knowledge would fetch him loads of intel points.
