Working again? Good, as I was saying I’m having to use this ancient bit of broadcasting equipment to submit this log without being traced, Omni-Reform haven’t backdated their detectors that far. I would know, I used to work there. Anyway, this is my first information on record for a while now, I’ve managed to keep under the radar for this long, it just gets a bit boring. I live a hermit-like existence, and not having anyone to confide in gets a little bit depressing, so I set up this log to get some thoughts off my chest to whoever wants to listen. Firstly I’ll tell you a bit about who I used to be, it’ll help you understand the situation I’m in now.
I've had what you would call an average life. Born into a working class family in a small flat in omni-trade, I started work in Omni-Reform at an early age, I was an idealist. I believed taking the information fight to the clans was an honorable cause. I spent years making psuedo-coffee for middle managers, sorting through the countless hate-mail packages (once getting badly burnt by chemical nanites some prankster had sent,) Gradually working my way to, well not the top, but somewhere fairly high up.
I had a knack for propaganda, I came up with ways of making people believe anything I wrote on a poster or a looped on an infoscreen. I was good at my job, but eventually it became mind numbingly boring, but I felt trapped in the constant circuit of the daily commute.
The ideals I had as a youngster were gone. Omni-Tek was not some all powerful saviour, it was my employer, and that was all. I still respected the company's principles, but I had no drive to fight for it. I would spend less and less time at work and more at the bar, squandering my savings on drink and pleasurable company. This second vice drove the already strained relationship with my wife to breaking point and we divorced 3 years ago. It was a downward spiral and one night, lying on a beautiful young opifex's bed in downtown Omni-Ent. I decided enough was enough, I would start again.
The next morning I resigned from Omni-reform. Sold my Rome Penthouse and found a cabin somewhere in the countryside (you don’t need to know where). My contemporaries thought I was mad, but I needed to get away from the madness that made up my life before. I now live a fairly simple life, taking most of what I need from the land but sometimes necessity takes me back to Rome. I try not to stay to long, the smell of the smog makes me feel sick.
I suppose now you could call me an adventurer, which is why I’ve taken up the pseudonym Adventuro, yeah I know it sounds a bit cliché, but what can you do. The other reason I try not to spend too long in cities is for some reason Omni-Tek doesn’t like people who are unemployed, the people on top think that everyone owes them something. I can almost sympathise with the Clans’ way of thinking… wait, no that’s too far and not what I mean. What I mean is why can’t a Citizen of Rubi-Ka live his own life, still believing in the ideals of omni-tek, just not working directly for them apart from a bit of freelance work now and again to keep the coffers full. Of course, this could be taken the wrong way which is why I’m making this broadcast from an, hopefully, untraceable source. Anyway, that’s all for now. Good night and good luck.
