Star Child – R. Palmas
Nightstar, part 1
"Hello, Mercutio. This version of you is dead …"
Her dreams showed her she would be fatally injured. They didn't show what would happen afterwards: waking up as a copy of her dying self. Her original version begs her to return to the world she left behind as a child, far from the spaceship she considers her home.
Unfortunately, this version never bothered to tell her successors what she is supposed to do once she arrives.
Mercutio has at most six days before she succumbs as well. She needs to face the past she worked hard to forget and unravel the secrets of her murdered family. Will this give her the answers she needs before she reaches her destination? If she can reach it at all …
