From Siobhan
About 80 years Earth standard after the fall of the gates.
A warm night on Argon Prime. An apparently young woman with naturally blue hair is sitting on a bench near the Argonia City spaceport fence, gazing dreamingly into the distance. Her name is Siobhan Inja Norman, and she has the slow-aging genes. She ages more than ten times slower than everyone else.

From Siobhan,
with longing
...enjoy. And show some love to voXager. We're just doing our thing
