The news never sank in completely. I couldn't die. Not now. As the weeks passed on the ship I became further detached. I had convinced my father to let me board a ship heading outside of League territory. He reluctantly agreed. To him this was goodbye. | The news never sank in completely. I couldn't die. Not now.

By the third day of the journey, I had experienced an amazing series of worries. Such a long boring trip… why was it necessary to leave the security of the League realm? When would I start noticing actual symptoms of my disease? How much did other passengers know about me and what did they think? | By the third day of the journey, I had experienced an amazing series of worries.

The planet (...) was... I found myself among low characters as the months passed, following the rumor. But finally I got a lead from an arms dealer. A nearby moon supposedly held a facility that performed risky experiments... The men surrounded me. One swung his pipe at me. I rolled out the way, and positioned myself against a wall. I couldn't give them my credit chips. This was the only hope I had to live. So I did what any cornered animal would do and rushed the man closest to me tackling him to the ground.
