Images of Skyler's species on her home planet flashed through her mind. They were being slaughtered by the humans that invaded their planet. The weak Manaketes would flee; others would stay behind to buy time. Her family and friends were dying, and Skyler was just hiding in a small cave like a coward. The end had come for the Manaketes. An armored human snuck his way into her cave, wielding a glowing sword. He charged at her, while Skyler cowered in fear, screaming for her life.

Sky quickly sat up, gasping for breath, eyes wide. She looked around the room, eyes soaked with tears. She wasn't on her home planet anymore. She was in the bedroom that belonged to a ship with many battle scars, nevertheless intact. She calmed down, easing back on to her pillow. [i]It was just a dream...[/i] She thought.

She walked through the hallways, dressed in a blue jumpsuit that was well-suited for space.

The automatic doors opened as she approached, and she went into the room, barely making eye contact. [i]I don't belong here,[/i] She thought. When she had met her new crew, she barely said anything at all. She didn't warm up to new people quite as easy as before her home planet was destroyed. "Hello, Captain Jason Hunt." She said, sitting down in a random chair. She preferred not to sit next to anyone, but that wasn't possible. [i]Let's get this over with...[/i]
