Young Yaskoydray has many secrets, more secrets than a hundred Droyne five times his age. Young Yaskoydray is six years old.
One might think Young Yaskoydrays secrets to be childish in nature, but they would be wrong.
One secret kept from the Leaders and Drones is the reaching of intellectual maturity four years before the Coming of Age and Casting Ceremonies. Or the fact that their intellect is genius level, one of the 2.7% of the population.
Or the fact that they're a Natural Talent of the Aware Discipline, the most powerful psionic among the Droyne, or at least the most powerful psionic among six year old's. And when you take into consideration that all Droyne are taught psionics after their Casting, Yaskoydray has to assume that they're different from other Droyne.
With a high intellect and an intimate understanding of self through Awareness, Young Yaskoydray saw the looming Casting Ceremony as a bottleneck to their future plans and dreams. Doing research on their self and the psionic techniques used during the Casting Ceremony, Young Yaskoydray looked for a way to go beyond the choice of only one Caste. Yet another secret kept.
To facilitate their research, Young Yaskoydray has another secret, a secret lab to conduct tests and research and to store information. And also the work on a next generation of computers to aid in research, envisioning a future of mobile, self aware computers to aid in his future plans to lead the Droyne to other stars in the time it takes to travel between planets in their solar system.
Young Yaskoydray has many secrets, and is only six years old.
Note: After my initial thoughts for this story, I noticed it looked a little like Young Sheldon, so I thank the cast & crew of Young Sheldon for their inspiration. I would also like to thank Mark Miller and the many others for Traveller in general and the Ancients/Yaskoydray in particular.
Another Note: I've been considering making up a T20 Yaskoydray character, just to see what they would look like, and realized Yaskoydray must have an earlier prior history than any other Droyne, and going by what has been printed so far, I need to bend a bunch of rules to write up Yaskodray, who doesn't fit into any character creation that I know of, except maybe D&D Immortals or Traveller Hero's, and maybe not even then. And then there's the fact that T20 has a 20 level limit and Yaskoydray supposedly lived for 320+ millennia. I'm getting cold feet before I even get started!
