Rosamary Evangeline sat alone in her quarters aboard the bustling Jita station, the soft hum of the ship’s systems thrumming through the walls. Outside, fleets of ships came and went, their trajectories dancing like fireflies in the endless expanse of space. But here, within the quiet of her room, the noise and chaos of the outside world seemed distant, almost irrelevant.
She reclined in a high-backed chair near the viewport, her slender fingers tracing the edge of her tea cup. The liquid inside had long since cooled, forgotten in the sea of thoughts swirling in her mind. It had been weeks since the transformation, and she still wasn’t sure how she felt about it. Becoming a capsuleer—a being both revered and feared throughout the galaxy—had been necessary for what was to come. But the person she once was felt like a distant memory, as though her old self had been left behind with the fragile, mortal body she no longer inhabited.
She had been Rosamary Evangeline—a woman of flesh and blood, with hopes and dreams grounded in a physical reality. But now, after undergoing the intricate and invasive process, she was something far beyond human, something that both thrilled and unsettled her. She could live indefinitely, regenerate from any wound, and navigate starships with just a thought. And yet, in this immortality, there was a profound isolation. No one could truly understand what it was like to live like this, except for those like her.
Except for Marcus.
Her thoughts drifted to him—her husband, her anchor. He had been a capsuleer long before she had taken the plunge. He had encouraged her, telling her it was the only way to survive the ever-growing pressures of the galaxy. In his letters, he always seemed so certain, so assured of the path they were walking together. He had painted the Empire of Paliven as a force of stability in a chaotic universe, a way to ensure their legacy, their future.
And now, she was to join him in Tash-Murkon, where the Empire of Paliven’s influence stretched into the far reaches of space. But what would her role be? She was no longer just Marcus’s wife, no longer a woman bound by the constraints of flesh. She was now a weapon, a tool for the Empire’s ambitions. The thought gave her pause.
Would she lose herself in the service of Paliven? Would she become just another cog in the vast machine of empire-building, sacrificing her individuality, her humanity, for the cause? She had seen how Marcus had changed—how duty and power had hardened him. There was love there still, of course, but something more, something colder. Was that the future she was walking into?
Her fingers tightened around the amulet she wore, the symbol of the Empire of Paliven that Marcus had given her. It was a promise, he had said—a promise of what they could achieve together. But as she stared into the cold void of space through the viewport, she couldn’t help but wonder if it was also a symbol of what she was giving up.
The door chimed softly, alerting her that her transport would soon be ready to depart. Rosamary took a deep breath, rising from her chair and setting the cup aside. The future was uncertain, but she knew one thing for sure—she could never go back to who she had been. All that remained was to step forward, into the unknown.
In a few short hours, she would be on her way to Tash-Murkon, to reunite with Marcus and to take her place in the service of the Empire of Paliven. Whatever lay ahead, she would face it with the strength and determination that had brought her this far. But as she made her way toward the door, a quiet voice in her mind reminded her: the price of immortality was far greater than she had ever imagined.
