This star system of humanity had finally been explored and ‘conquered’ by the Earth Unity—the name of the coalition of all countries for the purpose of space exploration as a single unit.

Anything not human that had ‘lesser intellect’ was conquered and taken for research to expand humanities knowledge on what may lie in the stars even further beyond our own star system.

Researchers, handlers, scientists, soldiers—all were needed for such a prospect.

You found yourself working for this Earth Unity program—the benefits of free rent by living on site and better healthcare were enough to draw you in for the moment when you’ve been down on your luck. But it was getting harder to think of this Alien in your charge as a lesser animal. It communicates you think…just in a way you don’t understand yet.

And it comes to the glass to eye you carefully and curiously every time you walk past. The humanoid creature, species Varithixa, that stood on its hind legs like a person half of the time also had a tendency to mimic certain human actions that it observed of you. As such behaviors pointed to a higher level of intelligence anyone had initially thought…it started to way on your conscious the conditions it was in as a prisoner here.
