Prolouge
In between the chain of peaks, great red peeked through with brilliance. Bringing forth light that is beautiful to behold.
Foretelling a sign. Morning has come to its wake. As the moon hid back to its dwelling.
The surroundings solemn.
A drop of morning dew fell from a leaf unto the water. Waves spread across like a spiders web, breaking the scenes reflection under.
Sunlight shone through the window. Peaceful as it is, relaxing and calming.
I opened my eyes and a familiar scene came to sight. White ceiling adorned with a light bulb.
Looking to the right, I found the clock. Turning my vision against the desk, I shook my head. Currently, it is still 7:00 am. Seeing the time, I sighed and closed my eyes again.
Time flies.
It felt like it was just a moment when in reality it already passed by 30 minutes.
Knock...
Knocking was heard. Opening my eyes once again, I turned my head to the right again but this time I look far beyond the desk.
White paint reached my vision as the walls are completely blank. Decorations are barren and as dry as the desert. Only outlines of the door could be seen as the door itself is white too.
Overall the room is covered in white. Most people will find it bland as there was no decorations nor furniture's apart from the desk and a chair near the door.
Creak.
The door opened. A middle aged woman came through the door. Passing through the frame she made her way to me. Holding a tray, she laid it atop of the desk.
Helping me sit up from the the bed she started feeding me. The food on the tray were food that is pretty common in this place. The taste, as bland as this place looks.

Feeling the familiar taste in my mouth I just reacted instinctively and began eating. Gradually chomping through it.
Seeing that I was done with the meal she grabbed one of the prescription medicines. It was laid inside a medicine box made of transparent plastic with labels on it, depending on what medicine it is. It was then fed to me along with water to down the medicine into my system.
Having done her duties, she tidied up and left after accompanying me to lay in bed again.
After settling my mind and body from the meal, I closed my eyes, "again". I then began to dose off.
Time continues to tick.
Around 11:30 am I woke up and again anticipated another 'visitor'. As I predicted, the door opened and person came in but this time it was a young man. Still carrying a tray with food in it like the middle aged woman did.
After the repeated scene from the morning, I did not go back to sleep instead watched videos online. I requested it to the young man that came in with the food. Quite convenient.
Looking at the time it's already 3:00 pm. Time passed fast. I shook my head inside as I thought silently.
Creak.
The door opened and a man seem to be in his 30s came in. He wore glasses with black rectangular frames. His face looked clean as beards and mustaches of some sort are shaved. Apart from the things I mentioned, he basically looks like a professional overall, especially with his white 'lab' coat.
As he stepped into the he room he smiled at me. He grabbed the chair near the door and sat beside me.
...
"How have you been?" He asked.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
