Rudolf Sikorski - Biography

Biography

Sikorski was one of the key figures on Earth in the XXII century. It is unclear how he rose up, but in 2137 he was already a member of Earth's World Council as well as the head of recently founded COMCON-2. In 2137 Sikorski was appointed to the "foundling" case as its director and curator and classified all information about it, so that nearly nothing was leaked to the public of Earth.

In 2152 he enlisted in the Institute of Experimental History and became a progressor. His first (and, probably, last) mission was that on Saraksh, where he soon became the project chief. In 2157 he met Maxim Kammerer, who later became his apprentice - first on Saraksh and then in COMCON-2. Some sources indicate that Rudolf Sikorski participated on the Saraksh project until 2165.

In 2165 Rudolf Sikorski returned to Earth and for the next 13 years devoted himself to the foundling case, which he believed was vital for the Earth's existence. In 2178 he assigned Maxim Kammerer to the task of locating a "Stepchild", Lev Abalkin, who disappeared from his view. But Kammerer failed and Sikorski had to lure Abalkin into a trap and assassinated him, because he feared that a hypothetical alien mental program might be activated in Abalkin in any moment and make him do harm to Earth dwellers.

Shortly after the assassination of Abalkin in 2178, Rudolf Sikorski had to leave his position as the head of COMCON-2 under the pressure of public disapproval. Maxim Kammerer became his successor as the chief of COMCON-2.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:

    In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.
    Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)

    The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
