Kaya is a spiritual person, as is my foster mother. I respect their beliefs, but those are just #myth-s for
me. They believe in a supreme deity, but if such an entity exists, how can it allow the atrocities I have witnessed?
No. Only I am in charge of my destiny.

“Where am I?"
My voice sounds #arid.

“This is the infirmary in Penstarox. You suffered several serious injuries and were not being cooperative. We induced a coma."

"How long?"

"About one lunar cycle.”

“What!” I roared, slamming my hands against the mattress.

Lt. Carloxi signaled everyone should step back to give us enough space. I wondered what type of hand-to-hand combat #style these cadets used. The lieutenant explained the first to score five strikes would be the winner. He mentioned no other rule. I liked that.

I am not much for dancing to the type of modern music played in most of the night clubs the Lostai soldiers frequent. A young adult with an old soul, I #yearn for the Arandan folk music my parents used to listen to. My female companions dance around me instead.

“Oh, I know them. This couple lives next to me.”
My heart almost stops.
“Did you say couple? No, they are not a couple.”
He laughs in a lascivious manner and nods for
emphasis.
“Trust me, they are. I have seen them more than once out on the balcony.”

Even in the best of times, the #vagaries of my personality were well known. Now, going through my recovery, I am always in a foul mood, rude and disrespectful to everyone except my foster mother. Visitors stop coming. Being alone allows me to focus on my rehabilitation.

3/3 I explained to Kindor the grave danger Mina, my son, and the rest of the crew were in. We could not risk the Lostai finding them. I made him promise he would waste no time getting the Barinta out of orbit and away from this moon.
