Chapter 1: Introduction
Oh, I didn't realize how lonely I was until I landed on Andromeda II. Sure, I had plenty of robot companions but it just wasn't the same.
The colony on Andromeda II was a mixture of excitement, unity, and loneliness. We humans were all clustered in one area on the planet, trying to build a shelter for ourselves from the alien landscape in front of us.
As I wandered through the quiet hills and glittering rivers, the harmony between man and nature seemed almost otherworldly. Yet, there was a sense of tension in the air as the lack of communication with the outside world hung heavy over us like a cloud.
I was a man out of time, a man out of place. I, James, the first male settler on this verdant world, my only companion being my droids, who I affectionately named Sam and sensors.
