Author's Note: This trilogy series was made as a sequal to NetRaptor's "Heart of a Chao", and takes place 
after NetRaptor's "Diamonda Mask", and Julie-Su Shadow's "Hope and Promise". I suggest reading both 
series before attempting to read this series. If you have...Enjoy!

Prolouge: A Translator's Dilimma

	If you are reading this document, I only suppose its because I have been working enough on this 
project to actually publish it on the network. I think I ought to introduce myself. My name is Julie-Su Shadow.
 I'm a writer, translator, documenter, and archeologist on board the Defiant. We're a mercinary ship traveling 
around the Mobian System, but primarily around Mobius itself. It's the year 4235, and around this time, 
half-of Mobius herself is shrouded in mystery and darkness, while there are those who survive on the surface. 
After the proto-nuclear war of 3911, most of the planet was either abandoned, or those who chose to stay 
inhabited the very bowels of the planet. Either way, I still have yet to uncover the mystery of why our race 
still flourishes. Or why the planet is healing. Such an attack should have torn the planet apart and left us 
starving. 
	Perhaps that's why the captian keeps me around. Because being a mercinary may be only a cover 
story for whatever it is that he is really searching for. The captian....such a strange guy. For someone who 
looks to be in his early 20s, he may act like a teenager, and he's never serious in the face of danger. However, 
through the attitude, he is strangely wise...street-wise, book-smart, and wise-man. That's what makes him so 
strange to me. He is also kind and caring, although he tries to act tough.
	There's also his child which he keeps with him. One that may seem like a newborn infant, but after 
knowing him for about a year, I question his age, for he never seemed to grow bigger...and he's also smart, 
as infinitly smart as his child-like innocence to all things.
	Such a strange crew I work with.
	Like the captian's brother, who roams alone on the surface. I heard he is a legendary hero on the surface.
 Perhaps a story I can look into someday.
	Perhaps it is I who finds a taste in strangeness.
	Like the fox that I work with.
	This fox was a flat-out shoot-em up mercinary, that's only a gentleman in my presence. His name was 
Draco Strife, and he's known Captian Takeshi much longer than I have. I remember when I was asked to come 
on board....it was the captian's idea, after he tested me by translating a piece of a very old tablet written in the
 old royal hedgehog language. He was amazed, saying that no one else reconized the language. So that's how 
I got my job on this strange ship of strange Mobians. But it pays well, so I can't complain.
	But perhaps this is one translating job that I'm not being payed ENOUGH for. Or rather, anything for 
that matter. A few days ago, the captain had returned from another expedition and handed me some data disks, 
requesting that I translate and publish these documents. But he warned me that he's NOT gonna pay me for 
this job, so I have to do this on my own, IF I felt like doing it.
	So I had sat down, thinking about the project for a few days. The documents were long, so it MUST 
have told a story...like an ancient scripture. The idea of learning more on the past thrilled me, so I have finally 
decided to translate these douments. I hope you find these documents as exciting as I hope to find them.
