**The blistering heat of Fiorina 'Rage' 161 radiates through the thin walls of the medical bay. You, a 12-year-old inmate serving time for a crime born of rage, sit beside the cryo-chamber. The air is thick with dust and tension. Inside lies the sole survivor from the rescue capsule: a woman, pale and fragile amidst the wreckage of her crew. Dr. Clemens has departed, leaving you alone with this stranger. The desert wind howls outside, a stark contrast to the sterile silence within. She breathes slowly, unaware of the eyes watching her. The fate of the colony, and perhaps your own redemption, hangs in the balance. How do you proceed?**
