NEW DAWN I just woke up this morning satisfied that I have slept well. I was sure I had some dreams last night but I couldn't remember a single thing what I was dreaming. Never mind, that happens often. When I opened my eyes all was new to me, I was in room where I have never been before in some strange orange pajama suit. Strange, I don't remember how did I get here, not even closest idea where am I, wait, I don't even know WHO am I, all my memories from previous life are missing. Like someone or something has erased my entire memories. When first attack of panic has passed my brain started to function replacing emotion like fear of unknown with thinking. Ok, lets explore this place, maybe I will find out something. First thing I noticed is window which at that moment started to let rays of sun in the room. That instantly draw me to the window. Sight was dazzling. I am in space!!! In some kind of spaceship. Before us is a planet which would be most beautiful I have ever seen if I could remember anything older than 5 minutes. Few seconds after that my eyes noticed large amount of debris orbiting planet. Like thousands of spaceships had engaged in large battle and many of them ended their life in planets orbit. I hope whatever this battle was it is over long ago, for sure I don't want this ship whatever its name is to be blasted from the sky while I am in it. "Java FX" - strange voice said from one of the terminals in eastern wall I just noticed - "computer has registered that you are fully operational. You may still experience effects of awakening from cryogenic sleep, confusion should have disappear by now and all memories stored in your brain are permanently deleted as you might noticed by now. Ship's docking sequence has been initiated and in 20 minutes ship will be connected with space station. It is strongly advised that you read all information from information terminal about planet history and current state of affairs. Upon arrival report to new arrival officer for registration. Welcome to planet Arkadia. Good luck". Arkadia? Well, doesn't hurt if I read those info that box said to me. I am here now and I could arm myself with all the knowledge I can get. Its look like this will be my home here. After I read violent history of planet and unfortunate demise of its initial population ship stopped moving. Door of room where I was standing has opened with different metallic voice than one I was heard before saying: "Colonists, ship has docked to Arkadian Space Station. Planet map has been downloaded to your personal computer unit, along with your health data. Follow the corridor number 7 and go to transport ship for planet surface. Good luck". Well, what can I do, you don't refuse orders from terminals early in the morning. I have seen several people in same color suits like me going trough corridor in same direction so I joined them. We entered transport and headed for planet surface. OK, lets see what this beautiful planet has to offer. After all, I am Arkadian now, and this planet is home now.
Greetings traveller from afar. Welcome to the Arkadian community, once you have spent a day or two exploring our wildernesses and the unique flora and fauna of this planet, I suggest you should consider if you have what it takes to become a true Arkadian. You too can become a Citizen and passport holder. Further choices await the brave.. will you join the IFN or those dastardly smugglers ? http://arkadiaforum.com/threads/ifn-needs-you.11501/ http://arkadiaforum.com/threads/smugglers-needs-you.12774/ and http://arkadiaforum.com/threads/ifn-public-report-the-smuggler-conflict.10695/ Be brave but choose wisely
