Your name is now <span class="mu-s">Shon Duj</span>.
You finally did it- you killed that bastard worm! But your elation at that fact is the only thing moving your feet. Your throat stings from the alien air. You gasp for breath. There is no water in this soil, each step sends up a cloud of acidic dust that stings your mouth and throat... no wait, it's akaline.

As far as the Hegemony is concerned, you're a dead man. This planet is still not habitable for your kind. But maybe they made a mistake? You can breathe- but only barely. You might be able to survive here if you can get away from this damn drone. It's so cold here at night too- but maybe there's a chance. You know there are stony hills near the colony. Maybe if you can squeeze into a tight crack, the drone won't be able to follow you, or maybe it will get close enough you can try to shatter its sensor against the rocks, since it sure as hell isn't getting within your reach now.
Your dear sweet father, Captain Allsals, was just a transport captain. You also know he didn't serve in either of the capsule wars, he wasn't born until long after that. But as a kid? You thought he was at the forefront. You thought he was some kind of hero. And then they threw his life away to appease some bloody xeno.
You did everything right, though. You know you'd never escape from the Hegemony- but once the last AI crisis happened, everybody was shown <span class="mu-i">exactly</span> how much data they collect. How they assign AIs to disseminate inaccurate information. You held your tongue- you never posted any anti-xeno sentiment online, never shared your true plans... even switched careers. You used to build and test bunkers! But none of those were needed on Xin.
Pa... Will people really be able to live here some day? Did you lie to me?
