Hello Ed, it’s me, Ed. Until recently, I was a normal guy with normal needs and wants. I liked animation, so I planned to study at New Pacifica University and get a normal job after graduation. Meanwhile, all I needed was time to play Battlecraft and a little money to buy cup ramen. And maybe a girlfriend…

Anyway, a little while ago, aliens showed up on our planet, fixed all of our problems and said, “Guess what! You now get to try and play in our giant galactic sandbox!” While my roomate, Ben, got all excited, there was no reason to think it had anything to do with me. In fact, except for the amazing band from Vega, Silver Star, I was willing to completely ignore the whole thing and just enjoy the incredible increase in my financial aid. Then, they conducted this thing called the Grand Survey to find the person most genetically similar to their founder, Princess Vinatu Prada Vin ed Priata. The person discovered by the survey would get to become the Earth’s first representative to their Galactic Senate and would attend the most exclusive school in the galaxy- The Vinatu Royal Academy. Again, I intended to ignore the issue completely, but fate has a curious sense of humor. Yes, that’s right, I was selected.

Now I’m supposed to become a historical figure of importance because I will be the one that determines the fate of the Earth. No pressure… Professor Seta insists that I begin keeping this Journal as I learn about the Galactic Civilization and help determine the fate of my planet. I’ve met some really cool students here at the Vinatu academy who all back her up on this, but I’m not so sure. I’m just a normal guy! A normal guy now called Prince Edward ed Larson of Sol 3.

Actually now that I think about it, everyone here at Vinatu academy is unusually good looking. The women are stunning! Maybe there is a genetic make-over that goes along with membership in the Galactic Senate? I wonder if it would apply to me or just my kids…

Supposedly, I should be writing in this every day, but I have so much homework and there’s so much to learn. I’ll see if I can get some help from some of the other students here otherwise, I’m going to flunk for sure. I’m sure that wouldn’t be great for Earth! I wonder if I’ll ever have time for Battlecraft again?

Hopefully, if this ever gets published, they’ll get
a ghost writer to make me sound really smart…
