Siren's Song: A Mountain's Remorse

Union needs you.

On the Farm, a crisis is brewing. A collection of false-Gaia worlds specially identified by Smith Shimano Corpro as being selectively inhospitable to humanity for a range of reasons, the farm is host to a panoply of worlds with thin atmospheres, irradiated daylight hours, poisonous fauna, and all manner of challenges to life. SSC has sought out these worlds with hopes of nurturing its lucrative genetic maturation and cultivation programs. These programs market designer babies to eager colonial corporations and other well-endowed buyers seeking to turn profits in otherwise hazardous environments. 

Responsible for managing these programs are non-human persons (NHPs) – the children of RA and the backbone of Union. NHPs, people of a non-corporeal state, guide and in some ways serve humanity as it expands across the great expanse of the Orion Arm. Without the ubiquity of NHPs, humanity’s expansion across the cosmic theater would end in miserable failure. NHPs are essential in many ways, yet while Union recognizes their personhood, the question must be asked: does it truly put that belief into practice?

***

Two weeks ago a Smith-Shimano Corpro NHP, CHAGA, disappeared using a subaltern body into the planet Kibo’s Kimawense Range, their casket in tow and stored in a mahogany walking staff. Lured by a mysterious call, CHAGA is vital to the functioning of the facility and must be recovered at all costs. The Mirrorsmoke Mercenary Company G-SEC team, Lighthouse, was sent to retrieve the NHP – they have yet to report back.  

Where their story ends, yours begins.

Go there and show Union why you are called Lancer.
