The Lost Child

My name is Oswin Oswald. Weird name I know. I like it though. It's unique, minus the last name that is.

I grew up on a spaceship. Strange place to raise a child, but I loved my childhood. There was always some sort of adventure at every turn and I loved it all. The thrills. The near death experiences. It was what I lived for.

When I was seven I watched my father die battling some Daleks. So it was just Mom and the rest of the crew. They made up my family.

My schooling was unique. I was taught to hack into the most secure networks when I was thirteen. I knew the entire works of 29 different ships by the time I was fifteen. A prodigy is what they called me. I guess I sort of was. I was bright, much brighter then other people my age.

My whole life changed when I joined the crew of a ship called the Alaska. Everything changed.
