So my life truly began when my parents decided to leave me with strangers when I was 7 years old so they could live the happy, wealthy life with no kids weighing them down. How gracious of them, huh? I spent 6 years living under their "loose" rules. They were morons in every which way. I basically raised myself. I would walk the streets in the warrens pickpocketing from drunk or passed out people. I used what I could pilfer to buy myself some decent clothes and food.
When I turned 13, I came to the conclusion I would be better off ditching these tools and fending for my own. I basically did that anyway. I've memorized the lay of the warrens. I knew which units were occupied, vacant and the ones without owners. I could jump from unit to unit squatting in whichever was available at the time. One night I stumbled across an abandoned unit that was used for tech material gathering. A lot of items were left behind that I could use for my own work. It took me a while, but I managed to reactivate the security and locks. A place I could call home for the time being.
During the next three years, I wandered the warrens gathering credits, valuables and information that I put to good use. Horny traders, alcoholic pilots and hookers all came down here for quick fixes to their life problems. It was like pay day for me. One day I was finally caught. But it wasn't a law enforcer, it was someone who admired my skills. Her name was IndigoShine. She was part of the [REDACTED] group. Her team wanted to take me under their wing and be part of them. I took her up on that offer, gathered my shit and rolled out!
That brings me to our current time. I have been accepted into the group and because we met the requirement to be an autonomous squad. We formed Phalanx Squad along with IndigoShine, Acyd, Mercury and myself. I was given the handle Calypso. Indigo is the only one calling me "kid". I don't mind it. I kind of look up to her. We're about to set off to Citi Gateway in the Inara system for some cybernetic enhancements. Till then.
