I thought the piled up work would have taken longer. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. I did find something intriguing, though. It seems the last manager, who I never got to meet, had some plans that never reached fruition. Crudely outlined at best, but looks to be promising if it works. A tournament is nothing new, but petitioning the mayor for her blessings and possible memories to work as rewards...
I'll certainly have to continue my predecessor's work.

It seems a lot of time has passed since the ball. I've been swamped at the coliseum, clearing out the backlog of work that was left over. As I see Jr. mentioned before, I've left my job as math teacher and took up the position of coliseum manager. I'm sure the students will be devastated to know I won't be teaching them anymore. I'm sure a sufficient substitute will take my place by the time the following semester begins.
As manager, however, I'd like to meet those working at the coliseum so I have more than a name to work with. Whenever you have the time.
And then there's the helpful things returned to me for attending the ball. A scale model of the Kukai Foundation isn't terribly useful, but nice to have on my desk. I find these memories more intriguing, though. The Galactic Federation, the government of the majority of the planets, and several of the laws with long-reaching repercussions. The Life Recycling Act from the turn of the 46th century. It allowed the construction of cyborgs from donors, recycling life. That extended to clones and biologically engineered weapons.
As cloning became rampant, humanity became biologically fragile and couldn't adapt to as many environments. Conflicts broke out over habitable environments. So came the Species Preservation Act to counteract the Life Recycling Act, the goal of which was to fix the genetic flaws caused by the LRA. Those in charge of following through were headquartered at the Kukai Foundation, working to abolish genetic transformation and cloning. The Foundation was chosen as we took in many victims of recycling and helped them form lives.
It makes me wish I had such a large scale project like Species Preservation on my hands again. Something like that and maybe I could forget about amnesia.
