Brightwood- 10:00)

Alistair Aloysius Cortez was doing one of his favorite things in the world,
laying in a hammock and reading a book. He was the son of academics. He
grew up in the shadow of institutions like Oxford and Cambridge. His
parents wanted him to be an academic, but he wanted to be an engineer. So
he became one. But even though he preferred nuts and bolts to philosophy
and grammar, he still loved learning, loved reading. He loved the idea of
it all, the idea of a different world, and different reality, the
adventures of the heroes. He enjoyed transporting himself into the literary
classics. Not just through holonovels, but classic novels. It was one thing
to roleplay, but he loved opening his mind to the words on the page and
create a reality in his head. Sure he could be out flirting, but that
wasn’t his style. Besides, there was someone he wanted to talk to, he just
didnt have the courage to speak to her. He was attractive, so he was told,
but he still had trouble talking to girls he found attractive. He didn’t
have the same confidence as the heroes of his novels.

He laid in his hammock reading the 19th century classic The Count of Monte
Cristo enjoying the perfect weather of Temtibi Lagoon. The planet's weather
control was configured so it never rained in the region containing the
lagoon. Its water was warm, and the wind smelled sweet. The hills around
the lagoon contained hot springs. But Alistair was content in his havok, at
the overlook, wondering what it would be like, to truly be a confident
swashbuckling hero bent on romance, justice, and revenge.
