	~~From~~ http://harmless-one.livejournal.com/38009.html: "The story is about Kai, who has a tragic event in his past that affects just about everything in his life. We meet Kai when he is a boy and follow him into adulthood as he learns to be a professional athlete. And did I mention that this all takes place on a planet in deep space? And that there are aliens playing the sport with him? And that this is so far in the future that the sport Kai plays is played in a gravity-manipulated sphere made of water? Forgive the pun, but Shukyou throws you head first into the deep end of this world. Ba da bing! But, in all seriousness, there is some great world-building done well here. The whole arc of Kai's life and learning all the mysteries around him are the real meat of the story. It's a really engaging read; thought-provoking and a little sad."		*http://harmless-one.livejournal.com/38009.html: "The story is about Kai, who has a tragic event in his past that affects just about everything in his life.

	Now: I am generally a person who thinks that it's kind of jerkish when an auth or comes in to close the canon outside of the story. So basically, whatever you think was happening with Taran, whatever conclusion that you come to based on the information presented, that counts as correct. However, if you want to know what I was thinking when I wrote it, read on:		Now: I am generally a person who thinks that it's kind of jerkish when an auth or comes in to close the canon outside of the story. So basically, whatever you think was happening with Taran, whatever conclusion that you come to based on the information presented, that counts as correct. However, if you want to know what I was thinking when I wrote it, read on:

	The Galena crashes because it runs into a cloud of sentient electricity beings, trapping one with as it goes down. Unable to figure out how to communicate, the electricity alien picked one of the dead bodies and zapped its way inside, not realizing that once it did, it wouldn't be able to get back out. Therefore, the alien has to figure out how to be human, and in doing so, it steps into the life of the person whose body it took.

	This is part of why Taran's scars take so long to fade; they are technically postmortem injuries.		This is part of why Taran's scars take so long to fade; they are technically postmortem injuries.
