text: Yeah spooking him probably wouldn't go to well for you, might as well just show yourself and get the outcome over with.
  
  You step out from the cover of the dune with your hands immediately raised. The soldier spots you immediately and raises his blaster without hestitation.
  
  "Human, Human!" You say not moving your body.
  
  He continues slowly moving forward, checking you out with his rifle.
  
  "I'm a survivor from the scout fleet! I'm so glad you guys are here!" You say trying to convince him.
  
  He's silent though as he approaches you, when he's close enough hes grab's your shoulders and swiftly turns you around with a single hand. You comply as he starts patting you down with still only one hand.
  
  "You said you were from the scout fleet?" He asks in a calmer yet still strict tone.
  
  "Yes, I'm the only survivor that I know of so far. I was trapped in my captains room when the flames engulfed my ship. I only made it out when I found a escape pod." You explain, hoping that he'd buy the story with few questions.
  
  "Well...you're uniform checks out. My boss will want to have a word with you. Walk in front of me towards the landed ships." he orders as you follow his instructions.
  
  It's funny, with how long it's been since you'd had contact with another human the whole interaction seems so foreign. You would laugh if you weren't in the position you were in.
  
  The colonists and soldiers who were scouting and carrying supplies immediately notice you and the guard escorting you. Just seeing all the clean and naive faces of some of the colonists pissed you off a little bit. It would be easy to take control of these cattle if given the chance before they became to experienced and hardened.
  
  You're taken into one of the ships were more guards are stationed, there had to be over forty of them in total, not even counting the number of colonists. You were taken up various stairs as you continued getting stares along the way. You must have looked like a savage to them with how well Anna and Ruby worked on your look.
  
  You're taken into the control room of the vessel. Much more fancier and elegant compared to anything you've come across from the pirates or even your old scout ship. The crew that were controlling the terminal looked like those rich and upper class citizens that came directly from the capital.
  
  "Commaner, I think you might one to have a look at this guy." You escort says to one of the men controlling the terminal.
  
  The commander looks over at him, and then at you. He immeditaly looks at your uniform, and that seems to be enough for him to realize who you are judging you by your expression.
  
  "You...you're from the lost scout fleet?"
  
  You nod.
  
  "Do you know if there are any other survivors?"
  
  "No, I was the only one out of my ship that I know of. I was able to use the escape pod in my captain's room when the fire on my ship was spreading."
  
  "Well...Judging by the looks of you I can tell that you've been through a lot solider. Jhonny, go take him to get a fresh set of clothes along with a shower and a fresh meal. After that I want you back here attention priavte." He refers to you by your rank.
  
  "Yes sir." The both of you say as Johnny leads you off to what your guessing was their barracks.
  
  After getting everything that you were given, you did as the captain had been told and reported back to him. He seemed to have been waiting for you as you went through the sliding doors into the control room.
  
  "Listen Private I've been thinking. Normally I would have conscripted you back into the fight as we make our push farther once we set up the colony. Though you aren't really experienced compared to the troops that were assigned onto this task and you might have already seen your fair share of fighting. So I'm giving you a option. Either put back on a uniform and help us keep control and fight back any pirate resistance or go on ahead and rejoin the life of as a civilian as you help with establishing the colony with them here and live among them. It's up to you."
  
  > become a colonist
  You came here to become a colonist, and that's exactly what you would be doing. Had you become a soldier there would have been a heavier eye on you that would have limited the sinister deeds that you had planned out. This would be the best bet in the long run to help out Anna and the faction.
  
  "To be perfectly honest sir, I've seen more than enough for a lifetime. If it'd be ok with you I'd like to settle down as a Colonist and lead a simpler less thrilling life."
  
  The Commander smiles at this. "Yes I understand, there come's a point in a man's life when the life of war becomes to much for him. You out of everyone else must know this, so go on and join the colonists unpacking and talk to their elected official. He'll be the one giving you orders from now on."
  
  You take your leave from the command room as you are excused and go on to look for the official that goes by the name of Jordan. You find him soon enough as you see him ordering around different colonists as more supplies are unloaded and the making of little homes begins it's commencement.
  
  He sees you and greets you by your uniform.
  
  "Can I help you soldier?"
  
  "No longer a soldier. I've been relived from duty by my commander and now I'm one of you. If there's anything that I can do to help." You respond.
  
  "Well if that's the case, go on and help B team start unloading the containers that'll help us start up our green house. Tell the leader of them team that I've assigned you to them from now on." You nod as you take your orders and go help your team.
  
  Days later
  
  Your start getting accustomed to your new life as a colonist, though ironically you're taking more orders now then you've ever done as a soldier. When you first greeted the colonists they asked you a barrage of questions on how life was like on the planet and that if it was safe for children or if the natives were as savage as they were rumored to be. Obviously you gave them the answers that made them fear the planet and the natives the most to try to keep them in a sheltered state of mind. Occasionally you would contact Anna and the crew and leak information like the numbers they had and the type of weapons that were in soldiers possession. You would even just talk to her casually sometimes with the rare occasion that you had any type of free time that didn't involve working. In fact, your team might have been the one that had been assigned with the most work compared to others. Wether or not that was the intention of Jordan was unknown to you.
  
  You were honestly surprised at how friendly all the colonists were though. They were all ambitious in a way just like Anna yet with far less sinister wishes. You already had a multitude of plans to start messing with everything. In fact, when you were building the green house, you tried making as many small tears as you could with a pocket knife in your possession while no one was looking. Wether or not that would make a difference you really didn't know, but you had to start somewhere right?
  
  You kept to yourself most of time even with all the invitations to go and hang out together fro everyone. You almost felt bad that you would wreak havoc among their way of life soon.
  
  Almost.
  
  There were plenty of options that you could start with, you would have to start with them soon in order to get the most out of the work. You could try to volunteer with kitchen duty in order to tamper with the food. Or you could just try to kill them off randomly the old fashioned way if you could pull off the stealth that was needed for that sort of task.
  
  > tamper with the food
  There was a plethora of options involving food that could fuck with these colonists. With the numerous amounts of people that worked in the kitchen or tended the gardens, tracing the evidence back to you would be rather difficult for them.
  
  So with your plan decided, you signed yourself up for kitchen duty while trying to figure out a way to poison the food. Anna had you covered though as she said she would leave a container of some at a drop off point when you filled her in on your plan.
  
  Giving the excuse that you wanted to explore a bit, you walked away from your colony on one of your free days to try and find the container of poison. Didn't take long to find it as it was exactly where Anna said it would be, placing it inside one of your pockets, you quickly made your way back to the colony where one of the guards was surprised at your sudden reappearance.
  
  A few days pass as you wait for the confirmation on your team switch and it finally ends up coming to your delight. Although you're assigned to cleaning the kitchen for now until you have more cooking experience. That really doesn't matter as long as you can put the poison into one of the cooking pots without anybody noticing.
  
  It was on your second shift that you seemed to be given the chance as all the chefs were busy collecting ingredients in the pantries. You had no idea on what the poison would actually do once ingested, but hopefully it was horrible enough to cause some colony wide distress. You were able to dump the contents in three separate pots before one of the chefs returned, but by that time you were already back to washing the dishes like you had been doing before.
  
  You didn't dare eat any of the meals that had been served that day, rather starving and only nibbling on a protein bar then having the chance of getting poisoned. Fortunately no one seemed to be able to taste it, as everyone ate it with glee.
  
  You were restless for the effects to kick in, feeling like a little kid at the thought of one of these colonists just dropping dead.
  
  The symptoms started popping up deep into the night. Three or four of the colonists in your bunk started coughing uncontrollably as someone flipped on the switch for the lights.
  
  A woman had screamed in horror, as everyone could see why. One of the coughing victims was covered in their own blood that had a hint of green from presumed mucus. Looking around, you could see that the other coughing colonists were under the same effect as another unaffected colonist vomited in disgust.
  
  "Someone go get a fucking doctor!" A woman screamed as someone ran out to do so.
  
  The bleeding out man let out one last death rattle as his eyes rolled to the back of his head and his whole body finally stopped with it's spasms.
  
  What a horrid yet delightful sight. Walking out into the hallway as if to pretend you were too disgusted to see anymore, you could hear more screams throughout the once quiet night signaling that the poison was working.
  
  > Day later
  A half of the colonists had been infected and killed, along with a fourth of the soldiers who had decided that to get a free meal on behalf of the colonists. Answers were wanted as the commanders were flipping the fuck out. Someone said it was a plague from this planet, while someone else said that a curse had been put over the colony. Either way your plan was working, a little more than you had anticipated. As it turns out, all colonists and soldiers from this colony were required to return to orbit for further medical analysis, the colony would be abandoned until further notice.
  
  You were able to escape unnoticed while everyone was boarding the ships to leave the planet. Anna had even picked you up herself as you rode off back to H.Q.
  
  What a wonderful feeling you felt, more so with the knowledge that you had created such a feared plague that it would also work on other colonies if you were able to contaminate their food supplies as well. Maybe you could even win this war if you poisoned enough of these fuckers to such a fear that they just abandoned the planet all together, that was a little far fetched but it was still a hope.
  
  "Things are going to turn out better for us Anna." You say into her ear as she does a jump over a sandune that makes you both giggle.
  
  "For once I think you might be right."
