Excepts from ...... working ....
This is a different story in the sense that it is based on the dreams of youth and not the aspirations of adult-hood.
Our setting is the year 2300 when as one could imagine what has befallen humanity ..... Just never happened. There is of course space travel, and we have colonized far reaching planets. There is no hyper space, or hyper space travel. Space travel is limited by speed that has not exceeded light.... Yet! Many things on earth have changed, but yet remained the same. Politics and economics still rule, but fewer powers have the might or the money to continue their fight. There are fewer hungry countries but more exploited peoples.
The geography has changed as predicted because of the so called greenhouse effect. Deserts are drier, oceans are larger and much of the land has become a swamp.

What really kept her up at night and worried for Triack was what she couldn't find. Traces, even of family or friends, nothing.

"Miss Magile! I see you still do work here, thank you for being so kind as to share your valuable time with us." He turned into his office not waiting for a response. It was like any normal day for Asyndra. Her boss was quite obnoxious a throw back of the chauvinistic days. This never bothered her, she thought it was kind of cute. Regardless, he was harmless. Her work was routine in nature but in the long run sometimes rather interesting. Daily chores were cataloguing and verifying research papers and the such.
