Sitting in a corner of the cramped little room he was in, Jeremy still wanted to sob hysterically, but he knew that whoever that voice belonged to was on it's way to get him, and lord knows what it wanted with him.
The planet Entler in the Astren system is a barren desert world covered fully in clouds all of the time, with very little water anywhere to be found (though enough to support life). The atmosphere, however, is breathable by humans with no environmental alteration or use of life-support, making it a prime candidate for colonization. Currently, there have been 12 colonization attempts on Entler.
None have succeeded.
The Astren system itself isn't much to speak of; two gas giants, each orbited by three moons, orbit the sun. Their names are Y'ltar and Jupitus, and Entler is technically the moon of Jupitus. At night, the gas giant is quite visible, and it's a shame that Jeremy missed the view, for he was sleeping, being watched by an odd creature who believed that he could help his people.
When the door opened, Jeremy stood up and promptly fell back down, when he saw what was walking into the cell: a tall woman, brown-haired and wearing some sort of flak jacket over a worn military uniform, with black combat boots and holding an assault rifle in her elegant hands. There was a device around her neck, which looked like a dog collar, only with a small box attached to the front of it. As the woman's mouth moved, the words did not seem to be hers. In fact, they sounded rather robotic. She said "Pleasure to meet you, I am known as Rylch'k on this world, but my former name is Eustice."
