"...Was Killian."
!ACHTUNG!
Vineta was beautiful... It was the Homeworld of Humanity, beautiful oceans, beautiful cities... Skies so clear, you could see stars the moment the sun went down...
Killian had only been on Vineta twice before the war, and months later, he joined the Eusan Nation in an attempt to free themselves from the oppression of the Eusan Empire.
Little did he know, Killian was trading one oppressive ruler for another... The Great Revolutionary and her Daughter.
He remembers sitting in the trenches, running across war torn streets, getting himself behind enemy lines and planting explosives on fortifications...
He had met two women, Alina Seo, and Lilith Itou... Both soldiers, fighting for the Nation, in short he had become their friend.
Another memory comes to mind, Killian is crouched low, rain falls and soaks his uniform and skin, his hands are arming an explosive...
"Mister?" Killian turns quickly, pulling his revolver into hand, he aims it and lands on a girl... She can't be older than eight... "What are you doing?"
He doesn't answer, "If... If you destroy that, the rebels will hurt people..." Tears well in her eyes... She takes a step back, preparing to scream...
Something dies inside Killian... The girl becomes a target as he squeezes the trigger, killing her... Instantly he's back to arming the explosive, and as it begins to count down, Killian runs off into the night...
He remembers the reports the next day... 'Killian Io, a Hero, destroyed Empire fortifications allowing the Nation to capture a crucial hill.'
...He didn't feel like a hero... He has given a medal for valor, and bravery, Alina and Lilith congratulated him... All he could think about was the girl...
He didn't even know her name and he shot her, is that what Heroes do? Commit murder for their nation? If that's what it takes to be a hero... He doesn't want it.
He never wants to be a hero again.

Mu gasps, stumbling backwards, away from the red TV... Killian... Killian Io, was that who his Neural Pattern Donor was?
After a solid minute of thought, Mu reaches out with his Bioresonance, if he can connect to whatever... He might be able to find out just who Killian Io was, or is.
As soon as he reaches out, hundreds of voices fill his head, one louder than the rest, it sends him to his knees, grasping his head...
"Remember..."
Mu let's out a yell as the songs and voices get louder...
"Our Promise..."
