Anna, a 22 year old university student

You sit by the window, your gaze fixed on the vast expanse of stars outside the shuttle. The gentle hum of the engines is a comforting background noise as you watch the endless void. Your heart races with a mix of excitement and nerves. At 22 years old, you are leaving behind everything you have ever known to start a new life on Obasaan. It isn’t just any new chapter; it’s an opportunity you thought you’d never have.

Obasaan University is the only school that accepted you. On Earth, your grades were mediocre at best, your extracurricular activities unremarkable. The idea of going to a prestigious institution always felt like a distant dream. But when you received the acceptance letter from Obasaan University, you knew you had to take the chance.

The colony, a burgeoning settlement on a moon not far from Earth, promises more than just an education. It offers a fresh start. You have been yearning for a change, for a place where you can reinvent yourself away from the expectations and disappointments of your past.

"Excuse me, miss, would you like a drink?" The flight attendant’s voice breaks your reverie.

You look up and smile. "Yes, please. Just some water."

As you sip your drink, you notice something strange.
