Description
I can not tell you what this person is who stands before you. They tell the name of The People only to each other as each reaches maturity. They hold it secret until death.
The name he chooses to use is Szhen Bartlbi. He is First Officer on the dbsc.Ikkdrazil. There are no official duties for the First Officer. He serves at the Captain's pleasure. Bartz's typical day involves drinking, hanging out in the rec room, chatting up the boy and girls, drinking, seeing if the Captain is all right, drinking, playing with his pets, drinking, and cleaning his weapons. On untypical days he fires his weapons and a lot of people die. I guess you could say he was in charge of Morale.
The People never had occupations. They were hunted as prey, they hunted back as predator and when chained and trained young, were used as entertainment as long as they were agile and cannon fodder as they aged for The Oppressors. Those who were wise and kept to the old ways lived in the deep caverns and valleys where The Oppressors rarely ventured except for retaliation.
When the Mechanicals came in their plain dark ships, The People withdrew to the shadows of their darkest caves. Those in the towns slew their owners in the night and ran back to the caves of the Elders to see if the Mechanical people were just New Evil. The ships offered treaties and were fired upon. The People watched the fire fill the sky. All of the Oppressors died. One Mechanical ship blew up. Many more took its place. A Mechanical drone came into a valley of The People. He watched from a distance. He left them alone.
New cities grew, the Mechanicals still left them alone. The Hunters tried to kill a few, they could not be killed. The retaliations were fair. Generations passed. More and more of The People became more and more Mechanical. It was good not to die. Those that were left entirely alive grew silent and retreated further. They have not been seen for awhile. It is no longer known if any of The People~whatever they were called ~ are still living.
