Description
The harvester series that I started a while back have now gotten a new "first image".. and my bf have started writing the story aswell.. so here's a snippet of part 1 of the Harvester Saga :)
(Rosity's caption field doesn't fit the whole thing, so will upload the whole story and the corresponding images at Deviant art and my site when the story is finished)
On earth, there wouldn't be much for anyone like me. Maybe get real lucky and actually land a shitty job, minimum pay and nothing to show for it. Seems like a form of slavery, being given the hazardous and dangerous jobs, but being on the bottom of the payment ladder, way down. Either that or join some tug gang, turning to thievery, robbery or worse.
You might get a lucky big score off some rich person, but the luck ends there. They would swoop in with the heavy guns, and keep sweeping the slums till they find what they look for. If they don't kill you, they'll ship you to rot in Tartarus, the alliance's prison, a planet on the far reaches of the galaxy, light years away of any civilisation. It's a one way in with no way out.
No second chances. You get dumped on the planet and you're on your own, with a couple of satellites and a guard station on the nearest moon to keep you from getting off. Or become a prisoner with hard labour. You work till you drop dead, as part of a mining or salvage vessel. Private companies buy the prisoners, you get an imprint, which is a lobotomy of sorts, taking away all free will, turning you into a low cost working tool. Either way, survivability is slim to non-existent. I've been close to either scenario in my youth, real close.
