Now, I will say Having the ability to Record and playback for the last 2 years, has helped me a lot in catching up in some subjects that have far surpassed what I was expecting.

The information shards that were loaned to me were now able to be returned just the next day in most cases.

At which point I would get a new set of shards and get them recorded. This process allowed me to look ahead at information or examples for how things were meant to work.

Honestly I am surprised the subjects aren't just laid out this way, it was much better in my own opinion. With most of my hassle of the new subjects out of the way, I was realizing I didn't really know my families story, how did we get to where we are now?

From the stories my dad and mother has told me since wondering this, it essentially went like this.

After growing in in separate towns along the east cost, less than 200 miles away, they both ended up a college to better their own form of educations, my mother won't tell me what she went to school for.

But my father was in the college for a basic business degree. With this and the experience he had in a sales position before going to college, my father was able to land a job after his education.

My mother finished her education a year later and ended up taking a sales position coincidentally, at the same small business my father was working at.

Remembering each other from the school, they began to hang out more and more, and thus is history.

There was some little things, like them both being promoted within the company with my dad now as some sort of manager, with my mother 1 step below him.

Now, this is where everything started to get weird, just around 10 years ago, when the company my dad and mom are part of was getting popular, they ended up joining a small group of businesses that all joined together to for a group that would govern themselves to ensure no one was stepping on each others toes.

One part of this group, the one my parents were oversight on, was the distribution of Corp Branded items.

Unfortunately some of the corps took a dislike to their items being displayed in the same shop as the competition.

So a few of the Corps ended up trying to either buy off the sections from the others, buy off my parents, or just poach them to work for the corp.

After many times of back and forth from my parents, the board of the group, and the corps.

No one was budging, and one of the members of the board found that every single property they owned had been broken into and robbed completely down to one gas station that he owned, was actually missing the counters, and shelves as well.

After this happened, the board, fearing retribution from denying the corps for so long, had a gated community built, just for the families of the top associates.

Even still this community had like 30-40 house, I actually hadn't counted yet.

But still this didn't completely stop the harassments from the corps. The board found themselves bombarded by Legal issues regarding the community, stating complaints had been raised stating this community was the staging area for a Private army, and shouldn't be allowed so close to nc.

Everyone knew this wasn't the real issue, and even though these types of complaints were numerous, they were just as often taken care of due to walk throughs of the neighborhood by a private company to maintain neutrality in the case.

Finally this lead to the last few years, there had been attacks of the families of the people living in here, and even attacks to the walls and gate, with one even have been said to have created a hole in the wall.

Well, the hole was stated to have been seen by a kid, but the hole was never found even when the kid lead the people to where he thought it was.

Needless to say, the wall was safe for now. I am just glad I am trying to learn as much as I can, this world is dangerous.

One of my favorite things to do currently was the walk the length of the wall, just chatting with my 3 friends, and poking fun at norm as he was getting pretty built, and all of his clothes were getting tighter and tighter.

We ended up finding a spot for just us, while walking the wall we ended up finding a utility shed that was hardly used as it was for the area where we were now and the only things here were the shed, and the wall section it was meant for, and it was split into two section.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

The front section had all the big equipment with the lawnmowers etc. While the back section looked like a little office area with 2 tables.

Since we never saw anyone here, we always ended up hanging out here, or gaming together here!

As we all had our own laptops, we were able to do some gaming in the shed.

This is where we would end up hanging out, esspecially on really hot/cold days as the small room had a bult in heater/AC unit for some reason, we would just set in there, and either chat about what our classes were like, or game.

I can't really say I like the games here to much, they are very basic, with the better ones being the shooter genre, as they seemed to have more experience and less creativity with them.

The games themselves were either past wars or online shooters often times resembling call of duty.

Other instances of the games of this world being more basic were the other genres, there really weren't other genres, they did have some basic puzzle type of games, but if it wasn't shooting, then it was all designed for babies.

I will have to fix this, glad I am learning coding already. Speaking of coding, I was able to locate the board with my Nemesis daemon on it!

The lights Out daemon was strong, I didn't direct connect to the board this time, instead wiring multiple boards together with the last to be attached by a flimsy cable so I can Manually disengage it if needed.

Manual disengage being a fancy way of saying rip the cable off either of the boards its connected to.

I had been working on it for nearly a weak when I found the shutdown and activation codes for it!

After shutting it, I took the chance to change the codes to my own personalized codes to ensure nothing left on this board would accidently activate it on me.

At this point, I realized I had my first daemon. I had secured my first daemon and put it on an expanded storage shard I had extra and put it in my shard case.

I had saved a few bits and bobs from my recordings, Translation app for my eyes if I ever needed to change them, to even a Snake game you played in your eyes, I had liked that because it reminded me of my old Nokia.

With my shard case now secured back onto my belt, I walked out into my living room where my room was watching her shows.

Without missing a beat or even looking away from the tv, she says in a stern voice "I heard you in there messing with your parts again, you better not have left your room a pigsty again."

"No, all good mom, I learned my lesson last time for that!"

"Lesson?" She turned her head to look at me, giving a sad droopy eye state at me. "Helping your mother cook and getting to spend time with you beautiful mom for a full week was a punishment to you?"She began to fake cry into her elbow.

I could only sign, as I walked over to her grabbed her in a hug and kissed her forehead.

At this, a deafening boom was heard outside the house, not even 50 feet away and the house shook!

My mother instantly was on her feet leading me to my dads study. "Set down and don't leave this room." She said as she placed me in one of the large chairs, turned to the book case and pulled on 3 seemingly random books.

The two book cases slid to the side and revealed a small but tall closet, and on the walls of the closet were Flak jackets, weapons and two masks. I didn't recognize the masks, but I could tell this wasn't your typical weapons either.

I gazed in loving amazement at the assortment of weapons, as my mother grabbed one of those kinda compact based shotguns, I didn't recognize it from the game, but my eye identified it as a Rostrovic DB-2 Testera.

Looked pretty fancy but it was just a double barrel from what I could see. After grabbing what looked like a kevlar vest and stuffing here pocket with shells.

She set the shotgun on the desk, reaching under it for something. As she did, I heard a click and out of the desk came a screen with 2 feeds, one of the front of the house and one of the back.

Everything looked normal from the feeds, but them my mother looked to me with a stern expression. "stay here and keep the door closed." I nodded and at this she left the room closing the door.

I went to the desk to watch the feeds, noticing there was a button for inside cameras and outside.

I clicked the inside cameras and there were two there as well, one in the living room pointing at the front door, and the other in the dining room pointing at the back door.

I don't think I have ever notices any of the 4 cameras in my 8 years here so far. In the dining room camera I could see my mom, looking out the back windows before going to the back door and going outside.

I quickly switched to the outside camera and switched it to fullscreen the backyard camera.

My mom was taking her time looking around before she go about halfway into our backyard and was looking left.

You could instantly tell she was surprised by whatever she saw, as she had put her hand up to her mouth and shied away a bit.

But not even a moment later she grabs the shotgun with both hands before walking out of view of the camera.

The silence and lack of sight of my mother was killing me. But I sat there as I was told, but I was freaking out.

I knew this world could get like this sometimes, but I wasn't expecting it at our house.

Trying to calm myself, I took a deep breath and decided I should call dad.

I tried twice and both times it was a busy line.

This world really needs call waiting, like who decided not having a second line, so you can just accept it was a good idea.

I relented and was just setting them when I hear a car pull up to the house so I looked out the front window.

Dad had just arrived back when his car door flung open and he was already inside and opening the door of the study.

Slightly stunned to see me there, he just nodded and grabbed a vest and Assault rifle and began to load it before saying "I am going to need your to stay in this room and make sure the door is shut until your mother or I return, watch the cameras. Can you pull up the backyard for me."

I did as he said, at which points he had already loaded a few mags and was stuffing them into the pouches of his vest while looking at the camera feed.

He noded and went to leave "Stay safe and I will be back" and at this point he left and closed the door.
