Rebel rabble

[hollow laugh] Would you like a list?
- Refusing to eat meat once I found it came from animals. Well, that and the fact that the stringy stuff Deltas get triggered my gag reflex.
- Turning down a promotion to Beta grade because I wouldn't have been allowed to see my mum again. I was well out of that; it would've been far too much like hard work.
- Deciding to be a thief instead. OK, it's more dangerous than office work, but the hours are better.
- Going outside the dome (a category four offence) to escape various bullies, some of them the law.
- Hiding behind a mental force wall so they couldn't reprogram me into a nice little citizen.
- Breaking out of CF1 (correctional facility 1) and nicking a freighter to get away (biggest thing I ever stole).
- Buying an grade 4 ignorance rating (= can hardly read) from a friend in the testing centre to avoid amnesty and retraining as a Space Fleet pilot.
- Objecting to every mission Blake sent me on and sodding off to Freedom City with Avon. I should get extra points for that one: rebelling against a rebel!
- Wearing trainers with suede.
- Becoming a ship owner (nine tenths and all that) after the mess on Gauda Prime and trading pine and fine pine products. Well, let's face it, that's a rebellion against the rest of my life. Oh, all right, I admit it, it's just a cover.
