They took the stars, and then they took our people. When the Enforcers came, few were able to avoid capture. Ava's budgeoning resistance lasted longer than most, but when inevitability comes, nothing is as it seems. A war beyond the stars entangled humanity, and the Enforcers were only the first to sharpen our fangs. The Earth is to be abandoned for a training ground. Of course, everyone else has had months to learn the new combat and training system, so the choice is this: Thrash in the shallows, too weak to fight back, or break in, and break the system. Ava watched her whole life get taken in that first sweep. She will make them pay, on humanity's terms, not theirs.
