HI!

My name is Hebe Linac--I guess you could figure that out by looking at the title of this blog--and I am brand new.  I'm also brand new to this great city, and Mr. Shamil (the people at AEGIS, where I live part time, call him my 'handler,' but that sounds icky, so I just call him Mr. Shamil) suggested this might be a good way to get me used to writing and using English, so--here I am!

...And I'm not sure why I know English to begin with. My friend Simon says that I instinctively picked it up once I fell to Earth because I'm a 'extraterrestrial psychic construct'--whatever that means--and I was able to absorb the ability to speak and write as I acclimated myself.  All I know is, I know how to speak English...and Spanish and Farsi and Mandarin and Potuguese and Hebrew and all sorts of other languages you guys speak here in Halycion, but English is my 'base language for some reason.

According to the people of AEGIS, my 'cover identity' is 17 years old, but the fact is my only clear memories are tied into when I fell out of the sky a few weeks ago and was found by my super-cool friends!  I guess I was really lucky they found me, because Mr. Shamil keeps talking about the potential danger I could be to the city.

As if!  I love it here!

But this danger is why I live at AEGIS when I'm not hanging around with my friends.  AEGIS is worried that because I have aerokinesis, pyrokinesis and geokinesis  (in other words I can control earth, air and fire), I might accidentally hurt someone or be kidnapped by a bad guy or something.  So for the time being, I hang out in a special apartment in their headquarters...although I've been telling them I want to go to school.  My friends all went to school, and it sounds really interesting!

So in addition to Simon, who's really, really smart and has a pet named Fuzz who is so cute that I made a special ribbon for him to wear, there's Bluey...he's blue, and he's really energetic and upbeat...Crystal...she seems cool but I don't know if she likes me very much; she told me not to ask so many questions but how am I going to learn about stuff if I don't ask questions?...and Soot.  Soot is, like, a living cloud of carbon, which I think is very neat, but for some reason I feel like I have to apologize to him for something....I wonder what.

Anyway, I'm always looking for new friends and new experiences here at Halcyon, and I'll be telling you all about what I find out.  I hope I can count you guys as my friends now, and that you'll keep coming back to see what I am up to!  

BYE!
