Synopsis

It is night on this side of the planet. Settled areas are lit: a jagged crescent in the tropics, lining the inland sea. The bright splatter along the top of the curve is Tanhua, as bright from space as New York. The north continent is darker, sprinkled finely with small lights, where the failing climate makes it hard to survive a winter. And the northernmost point, almost lost on the slope of Mt. Cordia, is the original Aleheart Colony, where the first settlers from Earth landed. It is your destination as well.

Altogether, the population comes to two hundred and thirty-seven million not-quite-humans, most likely doomed if they stay here. The ice comes faster every year. It would have been more convenient if they had had this crisis twenty years ago, but Earth can still use it.

Your job is to make an arrangement acceptable to both sides, to bring the Aleheart population home.

The shuttle drops.
