about

Captain Enders' first mistake was reporting the discovery of Gliese back to the rest of humanity. His joy and passion of bringing this new world to the people was immediately squandered by the mass of government transports and construction ships that surrounded the planet only 2 weeks later. Enders look down from the view deck of the S.S. Nerika at the busy dust cloud of progress -- progress he knew was wrong. This beautiful planet was to be their home, not their slave. Humans swarmed the lands and seas, thousands of bodies sprawled across the stressed surface.

Enders thought back to his love. The joy of humanity he felt with her hand in his. The overwhelming desire to provide her with a new land. Was Gliese his selfish discovery? Was the anger he felt churning inside of him the result of lost possession? He buried his chin in the front collar of his jacket and slipped into thought.

Day by day the colonization of Gliese proceeded without hesitation. The collaboration of buildings and monuments on the land masses were becoming visible from the dusting windows of Nerika. Enders' had sent his crew down to the surface in the past weeks, day by day, one by one. He was the last left, eyes blazing each day at the colony. Countless transmissions were sent to his ship, begging Enders to descend to Gliese, to see his planet and be graciously commended for his discovery.

But this wasn't his planet, he thought constantly. This wasn't their planet either.

This was her planet. And she was still gone.
