An ultra-short sci-fi piece.

1. Attend one of the four available schools for interspecies cohabitation, with a major in piloting. Other majors, including engineering and programming, will be of little to no use on the field, and it is likely that on-planet engagement will only occur in the case of emergency and/or insubordination.

2. Undergo pulmonary thermoventric surgery. The harsh atmosphere of your new homeworld will sear the insides of natural human lungs, sealing off the bronchioles and ensuring a slow, gasping death. After an in-depth study, it has been determined that this outcome would most likely prove to be detrimental to the mission.

3. Serve on Ozhili for one (1) term. This is widely considered to be the most straightforward path to the front lines. Upon completion of your term, it will be understood that you can survive almost anything. This will be a useful skill for the mission ahead.

4. Be a hero! There’s not long left before the universe is destroyed, and everyone is counting on your courage and sacrifice. Though we can practically guarantee that none of the next generation of humans will be yours, we can’t promise that you won’t be remembered in song and story for the rest of eternity.
