Chapter One: An Encounter

Colony Settlement Rule 561:

Education should provide ample opportunity to gain experience of local conditions.

Kara squinted, peering through the tall, thin jezebel trees. Their bare pallid trunks crowned with wide red leaves provided shade from the midday sun, but not from the heat, and she periodically wiped the sweat off her forehead before it dripped into her eyes. She could see where the upward trail led, but there wasn't a single olive-green cadet uniform in sight.

"Hey, wait for me!" Kara winced at the saw-edged whine in her voice, but they should have waited. The core element in this test was cooperative functioning as a team, and leaving someone behind broke the first rule of colony survival—you didn't abandon anyone. If she didn't catch up, she'd drop back to bottom ranking in her class. Not the result she wanted after she'd spent the last year clawing her way up two paltry places. Where in the universe were they?

Kara blew out a breath of frustration, ran her sweaty hands through her short hair, and put her sulk on hold. Lifting one foot at a time and putting it down while scrutinizing the ground for signs of spring-beetle occupancy took every bit of her attention. The small pyramidal mounds were thankfully absent. A bite from the insect, while not life-threatening, could swell to horrible proportions. Her study of the insects last semester had given her far too much insight into the varying sizes and discomforts of post-bite swellings.

Two corco birds flew high above the canopy, cackling to each other as their heavy wings beat the air with a soft thump thump. They were herbivores, although there were still many unknown species of plant and animal on the planet awaiting detection and classification.

Kara halted for a second to observe their ungainly flight. Next year she would begin studies in her chosen subjects—botany and biology. She ignored the flush of guilt at the thought of the tiny gold speckled plants which had caught her eye. She was fully aware this wasn't a field trip, but the urge to pop a couple into one of the specimen bags she always carried had been overwhelming. That was probably when she'd dropped behind, but one way or another, she would finish this course. If it had to be without the support of the rest of the class, so be it.
