This author will concede that, like stories of the first rockets to escape Old Earth’s gravity, it possesses the mythological resonance of a sort of threshold of history. “The Luddics make a great fuss about the significance of the devastation of Old Earth. First wave of sub-FTL autonomous probes, sporeships, seedships dispatched (none of which have reached the Persean Sector).Development of first starships, cryosleep technology.The Reenactor’s Visual Guide to Pre-FTL Culture (TriMedia Store) Old Earth cast out its dissidents, its unruly dreamers, its fanatics, and its utopian ideologues in those first leaking starships to build societies fitting their dreams – and sometimes their nightmares. The era of the sub-FTL expansion to the first neighbouring star systems is rife with legend and half-truth, but those insular cultures scattered and mutated, cut off from Old Earth, and created a flowering of unique worlds.” They looked out to the stars beyond and wondered what could be there and who would be the first to go.

It may seem like a bit of a mess, but you should count your lucky stars: you haven’t been carved up for spare parts by some pirate! On a related note, you are going to need credits to put toward interest on the Recovery Installment Plan which has already been attached to your genecode, so let’s introduce the thought that you may indeed wish to sell a kidney, most of your liver, or a surprising amount of skin with very little harm to normal biological function – provided you pass the rad screening, of course. Sorry, and welcome to the Persean Sector! You’ve got a lot of catching up to do. So you’ve just been hauled out of cryosleep, your quiet journey through space interrupted after a couple hundred cycles drifting along to a Better Place.
