Where was she? Alone, angry and frightened, she looked at the pod in her hand and gradually enlarged it to hand size and reread - For the crime of being surplus to requirements, She, eighty-nine, thirty-seven, ten, E, is sentenced to 'Banishment for All Time'. It did not even say where she was to be banished to.
Everything was so alien to anything she had ever known in her fifteen years of life. How would she survive? What planet was she on? What galaxy was she in?
In 2366 AD safety was the first priority of Earth's government when they had moved to Planet 666, a man-made planet in space.
Now, in 2519 AD, she had been banished by the decree of its ruler, the Supreme Councillor. What was her future?
No one on the Planet was ever given any warning before punishment, but since 2500 AD, no one had been banished. They had all been 'Sent to the Universe' the Planet euphemism for execution where the condemned were sucked into space. But that was for the 'unpermitteds'.
She was an 'Elite' so why had she been banished? How was she surplus to requirements?
Standing in an alien environment with an unfamiliar sky, she feared for her life and her future.
