Interstellar Age



Heidi Jaeger sat in a penthouse suite on the world of Alpha Centauri with a glass of wine in her hand. Despite living in the Confederation of Human Worlds for several years, she had yet to actually visit the ancestral homeworld of her species.

The more she stayed in this degenerate society, the more she instinctively assimilated. After all, she had lost everything in the war with Terminus, and simply wanted to numb the pain which consumed her mind, body, and soul.

Alcohol was one of the many vices which the woman had, but drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy were another. If it wasn't drugs and cocaine, then it was just general slutty behavior, which she routinely engaged in. Going around the capital city and sleeping with more men and woman than what would be considered acceptable by her own people's standards.

This was her life over these past few years, and after being tainted by all that humanity had to offer, she knew now that she could never return home. She had initially never desired to do so, but after seeing her little brother, alive, and well, she could not help but lament the decisions that had led her down this path.

At this very moment, Erich was engaging in an operation on behalf of Military Intelligence, one that would earn him further glory for their people. While she, his younger sister, was now a discarded asset, one meant only to provide intelligence back to the Fatherland.

It was because of this that she watched the news with little regard for what was transpiring across Alpha Centauri, more specifically, its capital city. A corporate security agent had slain a man on the streets, who just so happened to be a different ethnic group than the majority of humanity, which was now a blend of all the major races.

This minority group was now up in arms and rioting in the streets. Burning down businesses, attacking corporate headquarters, and brutalizing anyone they came across who was of the mixed variety. It just so happened that the corporate security officer who had caused this incident worked for the arms corporation who was currently developing the super weapon which Erich and his team were not targeting for destruction.

As a result, the rioters had gathered at every office, every warehouse, and every facility that was publicly known to be in the possession of this corporation, as well as several that were not so publicly known. The city was set ablaze, and Heidi knew exactly who was responsible. But, despite her poor choices in life that had resulted in self-exile, her loyalty was still to her homeland and her people. Even if they would look upon her current state as if she was mere garbage.

Of course, Heidi was completely safe. After all, her penthouse was in the most secure area of the city, far away from the rioters and their violence. So she simply sipped wine and snorted cocaine as she watched the news broadcasters speak about what had caused this event.

"And so we can see by this video captured in the street, the victim of the shooting, one Tyron Mason, was perfectly unarmed, and was merely exchanging words with the officer when he was so ruthlessly gunned down."

Heidi had always liked this particular newscaster, particularly because she was one of the few people left in the Confederation of Human worlds whose DNA was mostly composed of European descent. In the old world, this would be referred to as a Castizo, and in many ways resembled her European ancestors more than the majority of humans who were similar to the Brazilian concept of Pardos.

In fact, Heidi exclusively slept with this small minority, who seemed to be at the most elite levels of human society. After her upbringing, she could only consider the majority of human beings to be little more than mongrels.

As she watched the city burn on her screen, as well as out the windows of her apartment, the woman could only think of her brother, who was now infiltrating a heavily guarded facility, so he could destroy what was contained within, and by doing so, hopefully sever the hidden ties between the Confederation of Human Worlds, and the Ghimderi Trade union.

It was while her thoughts turned towards her brother's safety that she received a call on her NeuroLink. This was something that rarely happened these days, unless she missed one of her monthly reports back to the fatherland. And thus, she was quick to answer it. Where she saw the figure of a beautiful Germanic woman, one who she recognized to be her superior officer within the Imperial Intelligence Services.

Heidi quickly stood up from her seat, and saluted the woman, who gazed upon her and her table full of cocaine with a particular hint of disdain. The woman then spoke with a voice filled with contempt, as she asked the question most pertinent to her mind at this very moment. Seemingly ignoring her subordinates' blatant violation of conduct.

"Agent Jaeger, have you done as I have asked?"

Heidi nodded her head in silence before responding to the woman with a tone filled with complicated emotions.

"Yes… Yes, Captain Kuhne! The riots have already begun. By this time tomorrow, the ethnic minority in question will be blamed for the attack on the research facility."

The woman in the holographic projection was none other than Mirage, and her disdain for Heidi was based on more than just the woman's poor decisions. She hated Heidi almost as much as she hated Erich, because she was Erich's little sister.

Thus, Mirage could not help but finally make a comment about Heidi's disgusting lifestyle, now that her immediate question had been answered.

"That's an awful lot of cocaine there on your table. Did I interrupt you while you are preparing to get gangbanged by a bunch of filthy humans?"

This comment seemed so absurd to Heidi, who quickly forgot her place as Mirage's subordinate, and instantly raised her voice in her defense.

"I have never-"

But before she could finish denying that she would ever participate in such debauchery, Mirage cut her off with a particularly hate filled tone as she made another comment about Heidi, and more particularly her brother Erich.

"You and your brother are one and the same. Filthy degenerates who crossbreed with aliens. Why the Supreme Leader tolerates either of your actions, I will never know. But one day you will both pay for your crimes against our people. It is simply a matter of time!"

This news shocked Heidi, although she knew her brother had some contraband when he was a teenager, that was pornography from an alien civilization, she didn't know anything about his past relations with the likes of S'aleth, Yumi, and Ayumi, and thus to hear the words "cross breeder" come out of Mirage's mouth, as a descriptor of her elder brother, Heidi could not help but ask just what she was talking about.

"I'm sorry, what? Erich has slept with alien women? How many?"

Mirage gazed upon Heidi as if the woman was an idiot for not knowing about her own brother's habits, before informing the woman of Erich's dirty secrets.

"Three that I know of, two of which are currently living with him and are of the same species. The other he was supposed to be instructing prior to the Terminus War. You could say that he taught her many more things than just how to fly a starfighter. And yet, despite this, he has not been executed, nor exiled. Instead, he has been rewarded at every given opportunity. I honestly don't know what Emrys is thinking of keeping around a degenerate like that. Well I do, and I don't approve!"

Heidi was in complete and total shock over this information. She had always known that her brother was a troublemaker. But she had no idea what could have compelled him to do such a thing. After all, her father never spoke of the reasons why he had been disowned all those years ago. She simply assumed it was because he had reached the age of majority and was a mutant.

But Erich had actually slept with alien women, none of which were in any way related to the Germanic race. At least Heidi could excuse her actions by saying she slept with those who were most similar to her race. But what Erich had done was worse than sleeping with an average human, hell it was actually a capital offense.

And yet Erich had not been punished. Meanwhile Heidi herself was living in exile on Alpha Centauri, specifically because her people would never accept what she had done in an act of grief. This simply wasn't fair, and because of this, Heidi had begun to despise Erich for what she believed to be a great act of hypocrisy on behalf of those in power.

Upon seeing that she had sown the seeds of resentment between Heidi and her elder brother, Mirage simply smiled sadistically before hanging up on Heidi, but not before leaving one last command.

"See to it that you assist our WRAITHs in any way that you are required. Though I am sure they are more than capable of completing this mission, even without your assistance. Other than that, make sure to continue your monthly reports."

With this said, Mirage hung up on Heidi, leaving the woman in a particularly foul mood.
