How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in historyI ask because its what I have to do Im Zoe Boutin Perry A colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world Holy icon to a race of aliens A player and a pawn in a interstellar chess match to save humanity or to see it fall Witness to history Friend Daughter Human Seventeen years oldEveryone on Earth knows the tale I am part of But you dont know my tale How I did what I did how I did what I had to do not just to stay alive but to keep you alive too All of you Im going to tell it to you now the only way I know how not straight but true the whole thing to try make you feel what I felt the joy and terror and uncertainty panic and wonder despair and hope Everything that happened bringing us to Earth and Earth out of its captivity All through my eyesIts a story you know But you dont know it all.
