Afterglow

Chapter 20

And it is for this reason that I have developed a dislike for the authorities of ESSO. The people who live on the earth that we are risking our lives to protect continues to be unappreciative of what we are doing. And I don't f*****g like it, but I don't feel like I have much power over the situation. Because I am not still in the upper ranks like my father, I am unable to speak in detail about those ESSO officials.

And for now, the only thing I can do to assist Dad is to participate in this expedition. I need to be completely up to date on White Steorras' actions. And this means that I am the first Black Steorra to enter the earth as a result of an order that only my father is aware of. I'm well aware that my father will be terminated as a higher-up if it is discovered that he sent me on this trip without their knowledge, but I have no intention of betraying my father's trust in me by failing to complete this task.

My father is someone I am familiar with. My understanding is that he is putting at risk his position by allowing me to come here without informing the other high-ranking personnel or an official from the ESSO about this special mission of mine, and that is why I intend to use whatever means necessary to gather information about the White Steorra's movements.
