The first chapter of this story won't come out until February but I decided to go ahead and post the Prologue. Enjoy :)

We would like to inform you that you have been invited to attend a recently opened branch of The University of the Galactic Federation. While the university has been active for over a millennium this branch was only recently opened. NO student has yet to graduate from its halls but you and several others have been offered the opportunity. You're training will last exactly 5 UGAS's. In terms of you humans that is precisely 12.5 Years. We realize that for you that will seem like an exceptionally long time, but you must understand that all this time will be necessary for the work we have in plan. According to our data you will be 28 when you complete your training. We would like you to note that the last 2 UGAS (5 for you) will be on hand experience that will greatly resemble your real work. As to what your work is I will explain it as briefly as possible, for it is very complex.

At the University, you will be attending a branch that is specifically designed to train you as Peacekeepers of the Galactic Federation. Depending on the aptitudes, certain attendees may be asked to enter a sub-branch of training that will prepare them for seats on the council. All the students will be divided into four teams. In the future, we expect there will be more, but for now we are keeping it small. The teams will be Team-A, Team-B, Team-C, and Team-D respectively. Each Team has 10 positions. I will not explain them all in detail but I will list them. They are; Leader/Captain, Advisor/Tactician, Engineer, Pilot, Co-Pilot, Reserve Pilot, Ambassador/Negotiator/Foreign Relations, Machine Combat Expert, Physical Combat Expert, and Base. We invite you to fill the position of Ambassador/Negotiator/Foreign Relations (ANFR) on Team-C. If you so desire, we will allow Stich to hold the position of Reserve Pilot.

Please understand that we realize that accepting such an offer is a hard decision, as you will be leaving Earth for a very long time. We will allow you to visit your family, but please remember that you are primary loyalties will be for the Galactic Federation. When you have completed your training, we expect at the minimum 10 UGAS (25 years) of service. This would mean that at the end of your service you would be roughly 53 years old. But, the schedule for your service will be much more lenient, allowing you more luxury time. Please remember this is a career that you are choosing to follow not just for a period but for your whole life. There is much more we would like to explain to you but we are afraid that we will have to say it in person. At the middle of your summer break we will be coming to see if you have accepted the invitation. Please have everything ready to leave the day before.

Till we meet,

The Grand Council

The University of the Galactic Federation
