Why can we go for hundreds of lightyears in every direction and find only worlds where we can eat everything that grows there? Why is it that so many worlds seem as if they were designed for us to live on? Because they were. I have seen the survey results. I have seen the scientific studies. I have seen the remnants of the original biospheres of the worlds we live on. Our colonies were terraformed ages ago to match the requirements of humanity. Why? Who did it? And why were they all empty of human life when we came to them? These are questions that we must find the answers to if we are to understand our place in the galaxy.

Dogs and other intelligent animals are another bone of contention between the West, the Russians, and the Chinese. We consider our uplifted friends to have the same human rights as anyone else. The Russians don’t go that far with their uplifted dog breeds, but there is a soft spot in every Russian heart for a good guard or herding dog. And the Russian Sheperds are some of the strongest guard dogs in existence. The Chinese have never uplifted their dogs though. They consider it a crime against nature to raise any animal to a human level of intelligence. That caused a number of incidents over the centuries that threatened to escalate into full-scale war.

The theory of Evolution had taught us to expect other worlds to have developed along alternate biological lines to our own Earth. The basic idea of random chance all but required that alien worlds be truly alien. But when we traveled to the stars, we found nearly every world that could be habitable, no matter how unlikely, was habitable. And furthermore, they all shared the same basic building blocks of life. Any animal born on Earth could live on the worlds we settled for hundreds of lightyears in every direction without any genetic modification at all. It was like the worlds were designed for us, and that shook the scientific community to its core.

Some people will do anything for Absolution. Run away from everything and everyone. Or maybe they are moving towards something rather than away. Maybe they have a mission. Is it their own Absolution they seek or another’s?
