“We die when we die. It’s up to us to live while we have the chance.”
― Rise of the Saviors

“We wouldn’t even know there was a world beyond what we have seen if it weren’t for the library ruins in Lost Town, a place the original Saviors happened upon years ago.”

“Rabbit is the youngest Savior, barely thirteen, and possibly the fastest creature I have ever seen. He’s undersized for his age and can outrun the wind. Ever since we read about a cheetah in an ancient book, he dreams of traveling to the far off land where cheetahs once roamed free. Unlike the cheetah, and lucky for us, Rabbit can go beyond a twenty second sprint and survive. Needless to say, he is the only one among us who could outrun the Sliman if it ever came to that.”

“The attack is launched in an avalanche of thuds and lightning. I find myself in the middle of Plantation-9 with at least a dozen weapons pointed at me – mostly tactical pulse rifles, but also two shock bows and a KA-1 Plasmer. There’s no time to think. I have to act fast. I activate my shield that covers me like a purple aura. I pull out my pulse gun and run toward the army green tents. I’m shot once, then twice. One more time and the shield will be down. Every shot will count then. I take a leap to the left and I duck just in time to avoid a lethal magnetic knife whistling right above my head. I turn and shoot three times. I hit a Sliman (or Slimy as we call them) on the shin. His body writhes in pain for a moment and then he charges at me.”

“So this is how the alien empire will fall? With a few lengths of rope?” Daphne says. She has such an arrogant smirk on her structurally perfect face.”

“I can’t wait for the time we make our move on Plantation-6 and I find Kicky and Mendy and get them out of there. Their eyes will fall out when they realize it’s me.” Plantation-6 was Rabbit’s plantation. The place where he was harvested, trained and severely punished every time he made a mistake. Kicky and Mendy are in fact called 6-57849A76 and 6-57940A57. We have all been tempted at one time or another to give names to our long lost friends from the plantations and imagine the day when we will free them. The aliens in the plantation system do not permit names.”
