Colony's End

Beyond the glorious exploration of the wondrous outdoors and meeting new peoples, life seemed to keep hunting Gift's very soul, trying its best to rob her of freewill and choice.
The arrival of the U.R.M. was shocking. That they had come to establish a New World Order forced upon colony inhabitants created a knot in the stomachs of Gift, her friends, and former enemies. Questions manifest as fear in anyone not content to lie down and allow it.
Who were these U.R.M. people after two centuries? What is their version of world domination under the guise of peaceful integration? Why is Aimée speaking for them?

Gift needs those answers.
