Birth

Barrett McPherson was born in the back room of a strip club, with short silk-robed dancers for midwives and a raucous crowd of bar patrons twenty feet away, separated only by graffiti-spattered walls. The cries of pain and torment from child-birthing were drowned out by the drum and bass music that accompanied the girl on stage, as well as the loud, drunken conversations in the rooms beyond. Mary McPherson had just turned nineteen years old six days prior, and had truly wished that her and her son would celebrate the same birthday. She would later go on to say that Barrett was the best birthday present she ever had, even though belated.

Mary McPherson's story was mostly a story of tragedy until she found her way onto the station that would later be called New Tortuga. She was the daughter of a pair of parents killed and displaced by the civil unrest that displaced many before the Unification War. With no where to go or no one else in her life to turn to, she took to working as a serving girl in bars on Newhall and Darcke Moon. It didn't take her long to start getting noticed by men, and those men led to prostitution and eventually being lured into using her attractive face and build to earn her a living. It wasn't what she'd hoped, but through the tired evenings and the trouble of trying to sleep through daylight hours, she eventually heard a call for dancers and servers on a new station, which meant more space and likelihood of a place to call her own. She answered the call.

With a small apartment to call her own and a stable job at one of the on-board clubs dancing for her living, Mary continued to put in long hours to cover her expensive, yet tiny, living space. Boyfriends, tricks, and business came and went until Mary discovered that she was pregnant. The club owner, an ex boyfriend of hers, was supportive and allowed her to dance until she started to show, and then gave her a job behind the bar.

After Barrett was born, things became far more difficult than Mary had ever expected. The cost to keep and raise her son began to take a toll on her, as did finding friends to babysit her child while she was working. On some nights, while she was dancing, Barrett would be in the back of the club being tended to by some of the girls on their breaks. It was touch-and-go for Mary and Barrett for almost two-years straight, and anyone who suggested that Mary was out of her mind for raising a child was met with a stone-cold, alleyway beating. Mary was furiously protective of her child, who was the last of her family and her hope to carry on her father's name into the future. He was all that she had left, and he was all that she would ever want to have.
