 	`	You're on the ground now, with ruby red blood oozing out over the cold floor. You hear a strange moan escaping from your mouth, and Ildico's hands are in your pockets removing everything you have of value.`

 	`	Your vision grows darker until only a single point of light remains. You don't feel cold, or pain, or anything at all. You just feel heavy. So heavy. Too heavy. So, you let go.`

+			`	A page straight out of an entry exam faces you. Accompanied by a set of dots representing if or how often you have caught them, are dozens of labels noting common diseases along with illnesses you thought had been eradicated. The majority of options consist of words and names you imagine must represent some serious conditions, but which you have no recollection of ever reading or hearing about. After scraping your memory as best as you can for your medical history, you eventually finish filling out the last set of dots, and sign. Sighing, you flip the form.`

+			`	You begin to wonder how it was less bureaucratically stressful to purchase your first ship than it is to schedule an encounter with a campus professor here. When the form prompts you for your address, you scramble out of the room to research what spaceship captains should fill out in such cases. After many contradicting forums and blatantly outdated government websites, you return and put in the best answer you can think of. Then the form specifically requires you to input the institution you studied at, here on <origin>. Again you set to look for answers on how to respond when you are not even from the planet this form is from. After a few more questions, you start to zone out and just automatically input whatever seems least likely to get the form rejected, based on online tips and nebulous descriptions from government pages.`

You download an application to open your very own account on one of the local banks, after checking with the receptionist that this one is compatible. After a few more minutes (and a great many attempts at fitting your face in a camera shot for a mandatory facial recognition step) your new bank details are ready and filled in the forms, which you turn over with haste. Surely it must be ending soon.`

+			`	In this wondrous paradise of terraforming, a true testament to human ingenuity and mastery over nature, you are close to fuming with frustration at the inability of the local machinery to recognize your signature. For the better part of an hour you get to work on every form again, straining your arms as you slowly, carefully imprint your signature again, on every one of them, as identical to each other as you can.`

 			`	She glances at her electronic clipboard. "Captain <last>? Lady Drifa? I am here to escort you to the Everest Facility." She opens the door and gestures to you two. "Please climb aboard. I know the confines are quite small, but the E.F. is only a few kilometers away."`
 			`	Ildico glares at the young woman suspiciously, then turns to you. "Can we trust her?"`

Her stare pierces you all the way out of the estate. The officer in charge of the arrest thanks you for the report and for keeping Ildico in place until they arrived.
