It was a warm day in the star system, though everyone knew that the cold of space could not be felt on the planet; but no matter, as many suffered from the heat, and had their own ways of fighting the heat. Some like distance, others like their bodies to sweat, naturally, others would sweat by the warmth of their bodies, but few could afford to be so extravagant, especially those who had to take the burden of the planet on their shoulders. One of these groups included the men who had to ensure the maintenance of the buildings, and the other, half of the town's police force.
As the police walked the streets in the town of Gavar, they watched as the citizens streamed this way and that, going about their business, the males of the planet worked at the transportation plants, the women at the reproduction plants, and the children of the planet would usually spend their time in institutions, showing their skill in a particular craft, or becoming educated in many, but there were always those who would have their independence from the imposed life given to them, no matter the cost. Today was one such day, when one of the young boys, not quite a young man, had become away from the institution where he was quite well known among the boys who moved through the building. He was out of sight of the guards, who were very limited in their search of his whereabouts.
The boy was a very good planner, and knew that if he ran from the institution, he could elude the guards chasing him down. He was fast learning as much as he could about how navigation in space could work, and needed to know as much about it as he could before he checked himself off the list, and joined the rest of the children who could escape their fate on the planet. After running for a few minutes, he was able to get away from the guards chasing him, and decided that he would try to take off through one of the places on the planet called an ''escape pod''. These pods were designed for people to pull out of their life wherever they were, and leave it in the dust of their feet, usually never to be thought of again. But these escape pods were usually only suppose to work for a few hours, although the plan of this young man was to find a way to make it work, even if it meant a spaceport somewhere in the stars would have to be his destination.
After reaching the escape pod, he found out that the pod did not give directions how to travel to different destinations, and so he had to use a computer which was very outdated to try and figure out where he was going to go. After a few minutes, he received a message from a computer who had befriended him over the years. It asked him where he was going, and he decided to tell him what he wanted to do. The computer did not advise the young boy on this, as the computer was an underline programming, it had no choice but to allow him to leave, but the boy did not know this. It was only after the computer had sent him the directions, that the boy went into the pod, and waited a few days as it traveled around space, trying to find a place that would welcome him, and let him do whatever he wants. But, this is not the case.
He is being trafficked and has no idea that he is being used for such a purpose. As he is being trafficked, he has no idea that he is being used for such a purpose, and that he is a commodity, he is not even sure where he is going, when he arrives. He is not sure that he can make much of an impact on the world when he gets there. But he will try, and make the world a little better.
