How Dee Dee Deranged came to Calypso

[DeeDee]

This story I came up with when I joined Entropia in the end of 2002, wrote it down in 2004 and now you can read it here:

I was born in the Stockholm region in northern Europe on planet Earth. However I was very small when my parents moved to the moon of Jupiter called Europa.

Europa is a small moon covered completely with thick ice. Under this ice there is a enormous ocean.
This ocean was an incredible resource for the Earth Goverment (tEG), suppling colonies and space stations in the outer Sol system with water and food.
Around the Europa space port a new colony rapidly grew.. Tuuro.
And it was here my family moved. Tuuro consisted mostly of people from Earth that had no other future. It was a rough place, where most worked as ice tunnelers or in the food and water industry.

Tuuro grew for about 20 years. The inhabitants did however not get a much better life. They were treated more like slaves by the different companies, with the full knowledge of tEG (the Earth Goverment).
Production was made more effective and soon many workers was starting to become superflous and with that discontent.
At this time I was 22 years old and me and a few friends who also never had been able to get a job started a punk band "Topple tEG".
We were very left wing and wanted the Tuuro colony and the space port in full control by the workers. We wanted tEG and the big companies out of Europa.

"Topple tEG" was quite successful, but we hardly earned anything and struggled for survival every day. This was also the time when I recieved my name, Dee Dee Deranged.

Soon trouble brew, riots in the streets started and tEG sent in some soldiers to keep things quiet enough for all production not to be disturbed.
The situation was tense and struggling for a couple of years.. Then the disaster..
Something happened with one of the huge space tankers and it crasched into the space port. Thousands of people died, inlcuding my parents. Atleast I think so.. No bodies have ever been recovered.

Everything changed. No more discontent among the workers. Everyone started to help each other and production kept going. All waiting for tEG and the big companies to come to the rescue and rebuild the space port.
But they never did.. As no big ships dock no cargo were sold and soon no salories were paid when the companies shut down production.
Panic started when everyone realised that we all were stranded here and would never get any help. Chaos and anarchy roamed for some time. Until a group of workers and soldiers managed to seize control of one of the production units and resume supplying the population with food and water.

As far as I know the Tuuro colony still lives, but only as long as they have spare parts to run the production unit.

As at that point a small recruit ship managed to land and I was one of the lucky few who got on it and came here to Calypso.

I arrived in Port Atlantis a wonderful day. The sun was shining and I felt wind in my hair.. First time I ever experienced things like that.
Calypso is a paradise for me.. I never feel cold or hungry, things I have experienced almost every day in my life prior to coming here.

When coming here I had no money, no friends, no possessions and no useful skills, as I never had a real job. But all that has changed and I feel very blessed to have been given this new chance.. This new life!
