Below might be an interesting back story of why your the only one of your
race in space, or the area, or even more so why your questing for home,
that your alien task masters took you from 10 years earlier but you have no
idea where it is at?
------------------------
Prison Regiment, or aliens show up off planet and demand you provide them
with troops or else.. Else could be bombardment from space or something
else? Else wheres there is aliens invading and the aliens in orbit need
help, but to proud to ask for it, or the aliens look human and they need
something
to counter them with, aka Earth.. So earth empties its prisons and donate
the prisoners to the aliens and now what? One way to get into deep space?
Alternate is:
Not the first time someone offered the choice.
Invasion
Bombardment
Pay a fee of food, minerals.
Concession of land and like.
Bodies for military or like service, hopefully not to be wasted or eaten?
Might be fun to see how much we can trust them or do we or will we care?
Prisoners to be spies or ambassedors or what?
If any do get back, after their time, if they play their cards right, they
might be extremely wealthy at the tech, information and people they will
meet/learn about and work with/network with.

We do it to ourselves, in Central Africa, and other places, local guerilla
or government goes thru villages and does the same thing.
You look old enough, your in the Army NOW!
How will and by who will the prison regiment be equiped/trained, and
supported. Meat for the grinder or.. Depends on how desperate the
aliens are for troops and all? They might demand trained and equiped forces,
which may lead to other things?
