A Look At Someone New

by Samantha Bimbeaux

Of all that's been going on in our little corner of the cosmos, of all the new people to suddenly call Eisa home for good or for only a while, what do we truly know about them? How do we know that we, as a community can trust them and call them one of our own?

Well, I took the opportunity to get to know one of our new guests, namely Ensign Syd Montague of the Mars Alliance Navy. Military personnel are often seen as gruff and somewhat intimidating, but you would be surprised at how interesting they can be. Syd, in particular, has been through a great deal personally. He's even fought Soviets on Planeta De La Jose Cuervo! Even with his humble origins and a number of unpleasant experiences and tragedies, he still retains a pleasant and sometimes abrasive and brutally honest demeanor.

All in all, the people coming to our world are not to be feared. A little distrust at first is normal, but don't be afraid to get to know the newcomers. You'd be surprised at what you might learn.
