How did I come to be out here, the daughter of a founding family of Bernadette, making my way among those who Grandpere likes to call 'Stinking Independent swine?'

It's fairly simple. I could have stayed home, married well, overseen a small bit of the family holdings, but I was une jeune fille, and I was naive (at the time I used the

term 'patriotique') enough to join the Alliance Navy as a medic, my head full of romantic fantasies of caring for our wounded heroes.

Nothing adequately prepares you for war, but it took being dispatched to the scorched earth and mass graves of a place laughingly named Serenity Valley to learn I'd been an

utter fool.

Each of us was required to spend some time tending the hundreds (thousands?) of Independent prisoners; assuming no Alliance Officer needed us to tend a more worthy patient,

or someone hadn't sold the extra medical supplies to the black market...again..., or the transport hadn't been commandeered to fetch home some soldiers lost on their way back

from leave. Meanwhile Independents died. Infection. Starvation. Dysentery. Suicide. Shot 'trying to escape' was always a favorite. I gritted my teeth and made do with

nothing, and was as kind as conditions allowed. I learned to despise the Alliance, and myself for serving them.

It was a highly informal way to resign my commission....doubtless my family has had my records expunged rather than see me eventually caught and hung as a traitor. (En

publique....quel horreur!) Maybe I'll tell you the way it was if I've had a drop or two, and I'm feeling in friendly company.

I'm Verity St Germaine. Yes, THOSE St Germaines, I don't deny it. You don't get to choose your parents, but SOME of my ancestors were worth a damn. Mon oncle Thierren taught

me this when I shipped out.."Vive l'amour, vive ma chere, something, something, mal de mer!" I asked, he didn't know enough of the old Francais to translate, but it's

rousing, n'est-ce pas?

Call me 'Truth'. If you have need of a medic who can cook besides, maybe we have things to discuss...?
