Something to Keep in Mind
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Fetters bit into her reddish brown skin. Her deep gray-brown eyes looked like bruises and chafing. Discomfort ran through her entire being. Lashana Ballard sensed the ache. The burning and the weightiness combined to form a single emotion: anguish.

The Outside
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Her father was lucky enough to have a top floor room. Even so the window was level with the ground, and little could be seen but red soil and a deep blue sky. She stood on her tip toes, grasping the rough edge of stone sill. The glass was impenetrably thick, and dust coated it. But she was looking for something. Twice she had sneaked into this room and seen movement out there in that unknown world. Or she thought she had. Today she was looking for proof. Just a glimpse. Something to prove her mother right and her father wrong.

Until her dying day
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. It was a small window, high up on the wall, but it was enough to give her a sense of what lay beyond the walls of the building she lived in.

The Sturgeon
Dariya looked down into the murky depths as the water lapped the hull. When she was younger, she was terrified of this ocean. Impossibly vast, deep, and dangerous. An unfathomable mystery they would never get to the bottom of. That hadn’t changed but as she grew older, the fear had dissipated, and turned into something closer to respect. This ocean was big and alien, but nothing much ever happened. This was only her second day at sea and the initial trepidation had turned into tedium. There wasn’t much difference above water than below she thought as she stared down into the darkness. They still needed breathers and coolskins everywhere they went, oxygen was in short supply here on the Hycean planet Epic42.

Amelia didn’t have much hope of being able to step foot inside, but she held on to the hope that they could appeal to someone important enough to let them speak. The fact that the strange suited agents at the Airforce base, claimed that no one should know about the asteroid did little to help this hope, however.
