Pleasantries were something for other people. Except for the Surtu High Command, I ordered, and people obeyed. The nicest word I'd ever used when addressing others was, "Sir." The only reason I did that was the hope that one day I would be in a position where I never had to call anyone, "Sir," again.

So I appreciated it when Lucina called a meeting on my behalf. We gathered near the lagoon. The waters sparkled beneath the haze of the light rain and the glare of the two suns.

Behind us, in the treetops, we had started construction of the new colony. The wildfire that had driven us away from our old site was gone, extinguished by the rain. The colonists were happier for it, but rebuilding was yet another reminder that none of us were home.

"We can't stay here," I insisted to the small group that gathered – mostly military leaders who had abandoned their posts on Earth to lead a new start on the colony, like Godfrey. There were also Surtu in the mix, but our numbers were small.

"This place is all we have," Godfrey objected, tossing her dark blonde hair behind her shoulder. She sent me a look, silently questioning why I had called this meeting without her.

"No, it's not," I said, determined. "We have Earth. And we have Surt. We have our homes. The refuge is all we have for now, but it is not the final solution. We need our homes."

Godfrey huffed. "For that to be a possibility, the Surtu bastards who want to dominate have to leave, and we all know that isn't going to happen anytime soon. The resistance is fighting as hard as they can, but we're losing. So what's the next step? Asking nicely?"

"It was always the plan for the Surtu military to leave Earth. Some soldiers will stay. We need a few to father children and police the planet. The rest will return to Surt, but won't be the end of the invasion. We will transport civilian men to Earth, and they will claim women. It will happen in waves, based on their prestige, and it will be up to each man to decide if he returns home."

Godfrey shook with rage. "So what happens to the women in captivity?"

"They will stay with the Surtu soldiers who used them for children. Those who remain will live semi-normal lives until a male claims them. We would prefer as many women as possible remain to protect the women from exposure to the disease, but it is impossible for everyone to do so. We are not yet ready to say goodbye to our planet. Earth won't know the full force of the invasion until we are."

A man stepped forward. "Our women are immune to the disease. Why does it matter to the Surtu where they are?"

"What kind of a question is that?" Godfrey snapped.

"The more we know, the better."

I answered. "They're immune for now. As children are born, the bloodlines may lose the genetic protection human women have from the disease.
