-Maat, ..., Maat, …, Maat it is time to wake you up…

-No mom, …, please, I want to sleep…

-Maat, you know today is a great day, we will go live in space and you will have the opportunity to meet pilots, to study in good Universities and to see our planet from the space.

-Okay mom … Okay…

Maat get up and went quickly to the kitchen to eat her eggs.

-Mom, tell me, who are the pilots, why people are always saying that they are good and they are the elite?

-Ahhhh Maat, there are still so many things you have to learn.

Maat’s mother made a smile to her only girl. She loves her more than everything, more than her life; she wants to give to Maat all the chances to accomplish her dreams.

-You know Maat they fight for us, they are ready to do the most beautiful things that human can do, the supreme sacrifice, …, giving their lives for our…

-Okay mom, …, I feel that you love them…

And Maat left the kitchen like a twister, laughing with all her innocence.

-Mom I am ready, I want to see those pilots… and I want to be with you, …, forever.

-I want to be with you, Maat, as long as you wish it. I love you Maat.

Maat jumped in the planetary vehicle right behind her mother, Nephtys. And they started to move in direction of the interstellar travel spaceport. They went there within one hour but Maat felt asleep during the travel, she was dreaming of space, her new home in few times. When the motor stopped Maat open her eyes and looked the access ramp. There were hundreds of people getting in and out each minute.

-Mom, are they going in the same place than us?

-Not all of them, Maat, maybe some will go in the same station than us.

-Are there so many stations in space?

-Hehe, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of them in space.

-But they are going in space, I was right though…

Maat was a bit miffed, but she took her mother’s hand and they started working in the spaceport. They went through the controls quicker than they thought and they were waiting for the call of their flight.

-Mom, recount me again the story of Maat, please.

-If you wish… what should I do with you.

Nephtys smiled to Maat and started to tell the story:

“It was on the earth, the beautiful earth, for thousands years ago. A civilisation, a great civilisation, trusted in many gods and goddess. They accomplished great constructions and they were taking care of the Truth and the Justice. A couple was leading this great nation; they were the pharaoh and his wife. The legend says that the pharaoh’s wife was symbolising the Goddess Maat. Maat was a really complex meaning; she was considered as merely the concept of order and truth, but more to that; to this people mind, Maat bounded all things together in an indestructible unity: the universe, the natural world, the state and the individual were all seen as parts of the wider order generated by Maat. Unfortunately, due to the human nature, this people were destroyed by the barbarians, and then all the things started to go in the wrong direction. Humans wanted more power, greater empire…”

-The passengers for the flight in destination of Duripant VII - Moon 6 - Federal Navy Academy School should present their passports on the gate 132-B. The passengers for the flight in destination of Duripant VII - Moon 6 - Federal Navy Academy School should present their passports on the gate 132-B.

-Maat it seems that it is our turn now, come.

The young girl and her mother had seats beside a window in first class. Maat looked at her mother and asked:

-Why did you named me Maat, I am not a Goddess?

-Hehe, because I hope you will bring a little bit more truth and justice in our world.

Once again Maat felt asleep and didn’t saw anything of the travel to the planetary station. Years went by. Maat was growing and she was studying hardly history, mathematics, chemistry, and physic. On the day of her 16 years old she received an Email.

“Dear Maat Ra,

We are honoured to announce that you successfully passed the pre-required test to follow our POD pilot courses. We will welcome you in our office number 249 tomorrow at 10:00.

Best regards, Apenette Cadelanne”

-Nephtys, Nephtys, look at my Email, look at my Email!

-I am so proud of you, Maat, my girl. I have a surprise for you.

Nephtys went in her room and come back to Maat with a diadem. Its colour was black but it was so polished that it was like a mirror. There was some gravure on it.

-What are those signs on it?

-They represent the story I was telling you when you was younger. I hope they will protect you and make you remember how truth and justice is important.

-Thank you Nephtys, who would I be if you weren’t there for me…

The day after Maat went to the office 249 at 10:00, she was only feeling excitation. Her first day piloting her Vexor was not really a success but she enjoyed it. She learnt quick how to fly it. Some weeks later she successfully passed her final exams. Then she started to do missions, but she always went back home once they were successfully accomplished.

One day, after a mission, Maat was repairing her frigate.

-Sir, what are you doing with this man?

- Muahahahahah, you called that things a man?

-What is he if he is not a man?

-Heh… a slave young girl, a slave…

-But slavery is prohibited, let this man leave, if not…

-If not… if not what? You will run after me? Muahahahahah keep your dreams for you and forget me!

Maat looked near her ship; she saw a part of a civilian afterburner she destroyed few weeks ago. She took it, jumped in direction of the slaver, and she struck him. She brought the man with her and ran to her home.

-Nephtys, Nephtys, look, there was a slaver in the ship hangar and…

-Maat, my girl, you did what’s right in your mind…

Nephtys took care of the freed man providing him his necessary Vitoc antidote doses. Since that day Maat promised to herself she will fight against injustice.

Last time Nephtys saw her girl, she was applying to the “Murientor Tribe”. Maat is flying with her brothers and sisters to accomplish her dream:

A world of freedom and equity for all. A universe where the justice and order triumph.

Accept / Reject?

Maat decided to accept

-Maat Ra, is it you?

-hmm yes who else? Please identify yourself!

-I am Amun-Ra, …, your father Maat…

Maat could not breathe anymore… After a few seconds she motivated herself to follow this discussion with caution.

- … great I never saw you, or at least I wasn’t enough old to remember who you are and how you look like, and you just decided to take contact with me today???

-Peace is gone Maat, I think the whole universe is going to crash… there will be millions of death… I wanted to tell you the truth about our origins before.

-The only truth about my father I know is… that Nephtys still loves him… even if I cannot understand why.

-Ahh, your mother… how is she going?

-I did not see her for a while… more than one year.

-It should be really hard for her, you know, you are the only reason why she is still alive!

-No… what does that mean?

Maat wanted to trust this stranger, but how to trust him?

-OK, I think I have to explain you how was our life before that you went to live in Duripant with Nephtys, my only love. I hope you will not be shocked hearing what I am about to explain to you.

-Hahaha, shocked … shocked listening a story… I think you don’t know what my life is. I will explain to you and then, maybe, I will listen to yours.

Maat started to explain how her life in Duripant was. She also gave details about the move to the Duripant VII - Moon 6 - Federal Navy Academy School station. Then she spoke about Calon McCleod and megaman44566, how well they teach her the basics of combat operation. When she was starting to speak about the Murientor Tribe and Onnen Mentar, Amun-Ra interrupted her.

-I am glad to ear that the blood running in your veins is the one of a freedom fighter, Maat.

-Thank you … may I continue or do you want to interrupt me once again?

-Ohh no, Maat, no, sorry about that, it makes me so happy to ear you.

-Ok, thank you! As I was saying before I applied for the Murientor Tribe. It was something completely new for me. The people there have something I never saw before, a will, a passion, an incredible trust in our future… Clearly some of them suffered more than others. There were sons and girls of slaves; some lost their parents being killed by pirates. They did not have had the same childhood than me; I knew then that I was lucky.

-Becau… oh sorry! Please continue.

-It was the first time that my life had a meaning. I am remembering me often the story that Nephtys counted to me so many times… “It was on the earth, the beautiful earth, for thousands years ago” … Today I am glad to fight with all my brothers and sisters to spread the truth in everything that I do, and everywhere I go with all the possibilities that are presented to me.

-I am so proud of you my girl. Your mother was right; Maat is the right name for you… I miss your mother so much.

-Then just fly to the Duripant VII - Moon 6 - Federal Navy Academy School station and say hello…

-I would like… so much… but life does not allow us to do what we want. -You are right… I miss Nephtys too.

-I don’t know if it is a destiny sign… or no, no, no, you had that in your blood, yes Maat, you are a Murientor!

-Of course I am a Murientor?!?!

-Let me explain your origins and why the life separated you and Nephtys to me… I am bluffed that you are in the Murientor Tribe, so you know already the story of New Sentir. I am also a Murientor. I met Nephtys on Bayuka III; I get married to Nephtys there. You were born there.

-On Bayuka III?

-Yes, on Bayuka III. Unfortunately due to the conflict with the Ammatar, I sent you and Nephtys to Gallentean space with new identities. It was not difficult as you have Gallentean blood in your veins. One day on this peaceful planet, you was 2 Months old, we were attacked by the Ammatarians, the traitors. Your mother got hit by a piece of wood projected by an explosion. She lost a lot of blood, but before she faints, she wanted I promise that I will take care of you. But before I could answer the enemy was entering our hideout. I pushed Nephtys and you in a hole on the floor and put quickly some piece of wood on it. I fought with all the despair. I thought I would have lost you, both. When I came back, you were not anymore where I left you. You were already in a small hospital and Nephtys were going better. The doctors said that Nephtys was waking up every time that they tried to put you in another room, even if she should have been dead. After that day we decided that Nephtys and you should leave this region, but I had to stay. How could I have been far away of there and not knowing what future I could offer to you…

Maat was still listening and thinking that this “unknown” person knows a lot of things about herself. It was clear why Nephtys always tried to protect Maat from everything.

-I am sorry Maat, I would like to discuss with you longer, but I have another mission to do. I hope that you will fight with honour during the coming war. I wish you good luck!

Maat was shocked. She was thinking again and again about this discussion. Was it the truth, was it a dream, was it a lie to destabilise her… so much questions and so few answers. Hoping to meet Amun-Ra again, she said alone in her ship:

-Time to fight again for the truth and justice… I will… with honour, Amun-Ra, I promise!
