conversations.value: *“Welcome to the Correctional Resettlement Initiative, prisoner!”*
  
  *The voice projecting from the speakers of your new orientation cell is the most pleasant one you’ve heard since you first entered lockup in the Hegemony’s Shiroyama Orbital Rehabilitation Facility. This *can’t* bode well. Undeterred by your reservations, it continues, “From among hundreds of millions of your fellow convicts across settled space, you have been selected for an exciting new opportunity in criminal rehabilitation, as provided by Executive Order 4094.”*
  
  *The viewscreen in the wall lights up with images from a frozen world, with a purplish-pink sky. Warmly-dressed people bustle about in a small but thriving colony, though many of them stop to smile and wave at the camera. The voice narrates, “Here, you can see the former prisoners – now colonists – of Eridani F. They will be repaying their debts to society for the rest of their lives, but they’ll be doing so while enjoying the freedom of friendship, fresh air, rewarding labor, and unsupervised personal leisure.” The image shifts to one of a red, desert world, spinning dozens of kilometers below. “And, now, *you* will also enjoy that kind of freedom, while making your own restitution to the institutions and citizens of the Hegemony!”*
  
  *A brief series of slides follows, revealing the surface of a hellish planet of rust-colored dust and jagged rock, in which the air ripples continually with punishing waves of blistering heat. “You have been selected for resettlement on Tau Remus 7d. In just a few moments, you will have the option of perusing an interactive informational presentation about your new homeworld, so that you can familiarize yourself with local conditions, the native biota, and other important details about the new life you’ll be building for yourself, carving out a foothold for future generations of settlers.”*
  
  *Next, the camera pans over pieces of mining equipment, shining and new. “During your remaining time in Shiroyama Orbital Rehabilitation Facility, you will familiarize yourself with these and other technologies, suitable to your forthcoming career as a miner. You will be extracting and processing the valuable isotope, tantalum-180m, for use throughout the entire Hegemony. Your work will help to create…” a series of images corresponds to each item as the voice reads it off, “…powerful new computers… state of the art cybernetics… improved stellar energy collection panels… even faster jump drives… and the military hardware that allows the Hegemony to keep its people safe and secure against all threats, both internal and external.”*
  
  *The voice drones on, but it’s shit. It’s all shit.*
  
  *You know what this is: they’re throwing you away – exiling you to hell, so that you can die quietly, making money for the people who matter, and no one will notice or care.*

  Tau Remus 7d – commonly referred to by the abbreviation of TR7d – is an isolated world, far off the beaten path of any regular interstellar routes. For a number of reasons, such is the rule for planets chosen for the Hegemony’s Executive Order 4094: the so-called “Correctional Resettlement Initiative.”
  
  Tantalum-180m, used in a wide variety of industrial and medical applications, is TR7d’s primary commodity. The isotope exists in uncommonly high concentrations in the planet’s lower crust and upper mantle. Extraction and refinement is difficult and dangerous, and unpredictable electromagnetic storms make the prospect of robotic mining prohibitively expensive. Convicts, on the other hand, exist in almost limitless supply, and they need not be paid for their labor. Under EO4094, they are “compensated” with sentences commuted to mandatory colonial resettlement.
  
  TR7d is a brutally arid world of roughly Earth-standard gravity (1.07 G) and comparable atmosphere, with midday temperatures in the so-called “temperate zones” of around 45°C, and nighttime temperatures that can dip as low as -15°C. These bands of latitude are considered to be the only parts of the planet compatible with human life, and then only under the loosest definition of such. Days are 26.25 hours in length, while years last 273.7 local days.
  
  You are one of 250 unfortunate souls sent to this place, in accordance with the provisions of EO4094, in a ramshackle colony located in a broad, mesa-studded valley in the planet’s northern hemisphere, near some especially rich tantalum deposits. Whatever it is that you did, it earned you at least one full life sentence, and possibly more, but the Hegemony casts a pretty wide net regarding what’s worth locking someone away until their death. Murder and other heinous crimes will certainly get you locked up for the rest of your life, but so will credit counterfeiting, trade in even the most trivial sorts of contraband, tampering with the data in any governmental or major corporate network, and a host of other – rather less severe – sorts of offenses.
  
  You’ve been on TR7d for about seven Terran months, give or take. Over that time, about 70 of your fellow colonists have died – whether from injuries or disease, the attacks of native predators, dehydration or heatstroke… or at the hands of their fellow exiles.
  
  A rough council of gangs presides over the colony, though Kailin Czaydow’s faction – over 50 members strong – rules the roost. Kailin is an iron-fisted tyrant, but her people have claimed the best territory in the colony, and seized the best material resources (which has allowed them to create the best weapons – including the only energy weapons – on the planet), so everyone else falls in line. She’s known to cut off access to water for those who don’t display sufficient deference to her authority. After no more than a couple of days of that, *everyone* comes crawling, begging for forgiveness. Most of the time, she even grants it.
  
  Welcome to hell. No one’s expecting you to survive your stay.

conversations.value: Home sweet home. Hotter than hell by day, and damn near as cold as deep space by night. Or, at least, it feels that way.
conversations.prefix: Tau Remus 7d Colony:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your crew's assigned work detail. The air is poisonous, and a spark thrown at the wrong time could blow a hole clear to the surface, but at least the climate down here is mild.
conversations.prefix: Mine Shaft 4:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It damages habitation units and wrecks up the colony's equipment. Also, if you're caught out in it, it can strip your flesh to the bone.
conversations.prefix: Dust Storm:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's easy to get lost, out here, amidst the tall rock formations and the low gullies.
conversations.prefix: Canyons:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: These aggressive predators have some official name in a database, but everyone around here just calls them "rippers," and for good reason.
conversations.prefix: Ripper Swarm:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: These five-legged, three-armed creatures earn their name by their agile scuttling. They appear to possess some degree of intelligence.
conversations.prefix: Scampers:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One of Kailin's chief enforcers. A stone-cold killer with twenty-five life sentences to his name.
conversations.prefix: Zekk Sevran:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: She used to rule Tau Remus 7d. Now, she's just another recruit for the Uprising.
conversations.prefix: Kailin Czaydow:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: She grew up on a world not so different from this one, and she's probably the best hunter and tracker currently on this planet.
conversations.prefix: Yaeji Wayang:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: He's gone around the bend during his time here, and turned his gang into a small cult that worships the murderous wastes as something like a god.
conversations.prefix: "Father" Dreggs:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The electromagnetic storms on TR7d are intense enough to fry electronics, and can even harm the human nervous system.
conversations.prefix: EM Storm:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You don't take anybody's shit, and you're definitely willing to throw down if need be. Sometimes, you might be a little *too* willing to do so, in fact.
conversations.prefix: Hardcase:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You were a soldier in the Hegemony Armed Forces, arrested for something you did while serving, or else after you completed your tours of duty.
conversations.prefix: Military:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You committed one of the cardinal sins: offending against the people with the money and the power. Worse still, you were *one of them* when you did it.
conversations.prefix: White Collar:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Keep your head down. Don't make waves. Stay out of everyone's way. Your survival depends on not pissing anyone off.

conversations.prefix: Political Prisoner:

conversations.prefix: The Hook-Up:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Robots, computers, and whatever other technology you can get your hands on. Needless to say, you spend a lot of time fixing things around the colony.
conversations.prefix: Techie:

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You take what you've got and make do with it, turning worthless junk into useful tools. Or weapons.
conversations.prefix: Improviser:

conversations.prefix: Dealmaker:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have sharp eyes and good ears, as well as a solid spatial sense. It's hard to sneak up on you, or elude your notice.
conversations.prefix: Perceptive:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This is where the tantalum-180m is purified and processed into ingots for shipment off-world. Typically, about 10 kilograms leave the planet every month.
conversations.prefix: Refinery:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's hard to tell if these formations are natural, or deliberately created. Likewise, the green microbes growing here may be naturally occurring, or they may have been cultivated.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Hey, some people end up in the system for good, old-fashioned violence. You're one of them.
conversations.prefix: Violent:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're both physically weak, and not especially hardy - a dangerous combination on a world like this one.

conversations.value: Your body and mind both crave - *need* - something that may or may not be available on TR7d.

conversations.prefix: Traumatized:

conversations.value: Maybe you grew up on a snowy world, or in a climate-controlled space station, but you're not cut out for a planet like this.
conversations.prefix: Maladapted:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your mouth runs a bit faster than your brain; a dangerous proposition among people like these.
conversations.prefix: Tactless:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Even the people who trust you don't *entirely* trust you, and for good reason: you're more than a little shady.
conversations.prefix: Shifty:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You mean to ascend the hierarchy, around here, even if doing so entails stepping on some people on your way up.
conversations.prefix: Climb the Ladder:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Well... the best life you can reasonably manage on TR7d, anyhow. Whatever luxury there is to be had, here, you want in on it.
conversations.prefix: The Good Life:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have no idea how you'll manage escape, but you have no intention of spending the rest of your life in this hellhole.
conversations.prefix: Bust Out:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got no grand plans, no dreams of escape, or rule, or anything like that. You just want to keep your head down and get by.
conversations.prefix: One Day At A Time:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's interesting stuff going on, out there. You intend to explore the mysteries of TR7d, and learn what it has to teach.
conversations.prefix: The Desert's Secrets:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's not about what the Hegemony believes; it's about what *you* believe. You have to balance the scales of your misdeeds.
conversations.prefix: Repay Your Debt:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This planet is host to one of the Uprising's secret military bases where new recruits are processed.
conversations.prefix: Zenobia 467:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This subterranean base is crafted out of new (and stolen) Hegemony military-grade prefabricated components.
conversations.prefix: Zenobia Base:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This Hegemony deep space station is filled with signs of violent conflict, though it appears that no survivors remain to tell the tale.

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Soldiers of the Hegemony, outfitted with cutting-edge cybernetics and biotech implants.
conversations.prefix: Augmented Infantry:

conversations.prefix: Saiune Damia:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Foot soldiers of one of TR7d's many gangs.
conversations.prefix: Gangers:
conversations.from: human

conversations.value: A fully self-aware robot acting in some leadership capacity within the Uprising.
conversations.prefix: Victor:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A warrior-monk of the *Seikeimō* ("Celestial Enlightenment") Movement, serving as a clergyman of the Uprising.
conversations.prefix: Niwan Sanjo:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A ceramicarbon *jian*-type straight sword of surpassing quality.
conversations.prefix: Niwan's Sword:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A leader within the Uprising. She radiates equal measures of menace and authority.
conversations.prefix: Corona Gillen:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The leader of your gang. He's the model of a compromise candidate, in charge purely because he was least objectionable in the role.
conversations.prefix: Rafe Spurlock:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This jury-rigged blaster is the deadliest sort of contraband on TR7d; Kailan will kill anyone outside of her own gang she catches with an energy weapon, no exceptions.
conversations.prefix: Plasma Pistol:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The busiest prostitute on TR7d. Her work keeps her flush with fresh water and out of the mines. All payment up-front, thank you very much.
conversations.prefix: Sozi Amarno:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A waste product of the tantalum refiners. When smoked, it produces an hours-long euphoric oblivion. It also does a lot of bad shit to your insides, but that's future you's problem.
conversations.prefix: Flake:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This EMMA series pseudo-sapient personal assistant droid is the only "living" witness to the events on the *Iskandar*.
conversations.prefix: EMMA-1209F [Braziel, Kosta, Riley]:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: One of Kailin's chief enforcers. When he was arrested, he had pieces of all his victims. He picked the habit back up on TR7d.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You need to piece together the evidence if you're to realize a complete picture of what happened, here.
conversations.prefix: Investigate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Primitive slug-thrower rifles and melee weapons; all of it cut, bolted, welded, and taped together out of scrap metal and random bits of junk.
conversations.prefix: Kitbashed Weapons:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your gang is pretty much in the middle of the pecking order, which gives you some pull. Exert it to advance your agenda.
conversations.prefix: Exert Your Leverage:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This stuff is all top of the line, but it wasn't made by any manufacturer you recognize, and it has no brand name or other indication of origin on it.
conversations.prefix: Advanced Weaponry:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: These rectangular slips of titanium are used as money on TR7d, because they're essentially impossible to forge. What's here will buy off 20 hours of labor, or get you five gallons of water over and above your ration.
conversations.prefix: Currency Chits:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It comes in an ancient fuel canister. There may actually *be* traces of fuel in it. It tastes like a toxic waste spill caught fire. It will get you very drunk, very quickly.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: As one of TR7d's most affluent colonists, Sozi maintains a private suite as both living quarters and place of business.
conversations.prefix: Sozi's Suite:

conversations.value: Kailin is expecting those supplies. It would be best not to disappoint her.
conversations.prefix: Supply Drop:

conversations.value: Some cracks in the ceiling admit trickles of sand from above, but - overall - this place makes for a decent temporary shelter from the elements.
conversations.prefix: Desert Cave:

conversations.value: You don't take things lying down, and you speak up when something seems out of line to you.
conversations.prefix: Firebrand:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're nobody's pushover, but you know the difference between the time to act and the time to hold your tongue.
conversations.prefix: Strong and Silent:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Bide your time, and useful opportunities to advance your cause will hopefully reveal themselves.
conversations.prefix: Play for Advantage:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The lost crates are still out there. Maybe you can find and salvage some of them.
conversations.prefix: Recover the Lost Supplies:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The heat. Your fellow prisoners. Sandstorms. Wildlife. *Everything* is trying to kill you.
conversations.prefix: Fight for Your Life:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It may not have been much of a civilization, but it was the only one you had. Time to crack some heads and retake the colony from Reaper's bloodthirsty insanity.
conversations.prefix: Reestablish Order:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You were born in the galaxy's toxic waste dump: Earth, cradle of humanity. You breathed smoke and ate ashes in a runaway greenhouse wasteland. Tau Remus 7d is a step up, all things considered.
conversations.prefix: True Terran:
