Trans-Mutate finds herself stuck on an isolated chuck of rock, trying to understand how it all went wrong.
Synopsis
At the Ferromax Detention Center, Trans-Mutate is discovered and arrested by Maximal guard Bigmos. Taken to the Maximal ruling body, she is forced into a stasis pod, and now, awakens on an alien world. And all the while, the only thing she can think is that everything is wrong...
The stasis pod's A.I. chimes in, confirming that they failed to reach their destination, and orders her to return to stasis so as to be reclaimed by Maximal authorities, with a wait time of "indefinite". Transmutate refuses, pointing out the stasis pod likely no longer functions, and tries to pull out the A.I. The navicomp advises her to instead knock herself out, and that removing it is a felony; Trans-Mutate points out that the generators look set to blow, and sufficiently frightened, the navicomp instructs her on how to remove it. Driving along, the navicomp explains that she was en-route to Garrus-16 on the prisoner transfer ship the Claustrum, when during a standard safety drill, the ship was shot down before it could send a distress signal, leaving her alone on the barren dwarf planet LGC-8803. As the day goes by on the strange planet, Trans-Mutate and the navicomp bicker, the latter continuing to insist on her putting herself in stasis. Driving by strange floating rocks and abandoned structures, Trans-Mutate transforms and spots a shape in the distance. The navicomp, unable to detect any lifeforms in its scan, believes she is experiencing a form of false input, and again instruct her to knock herself out. Ignoring the latter, Trans-Mutate goes on to explain that she does not experience false input, and that she was arrested for that. The navicomp attempts to "correct" her as having questioned the "official record"; Trans-Mutate disagrees, pointing out there were far to many errors in history to attribute to mere incompetence. When she tried to explain this, others reacted with offense and anger. One individual, however, seemed to believe in her; the crime boss Cryotek. He told her about how their leaders used them to fight in a war not there own, and helped her focus her power. But when she outgrew her usefulness, he abandoned her. Found by a kind Maximal named Botanica, Trans-Mutate knows that she trusted wrongly...but does not understand why. Accessing her medical records, the navicomp confirms that she doesn't see false images, but rather something else entirely. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a familiar face attacks: Protoform X.

Quotes
"You are advised to return to the pod interior and re-initialize stasis to await reclamation by Maximal Security for the completion of transfer. Approximate wait time... indefinite."
"No, I will not be doing that. Also the pod is highly unlikely to properly function anymore."
"Then you are advised to get in and self-induce stasis manually. Slam your head in the door. Two to three attempts should be sufficient."
- —The navicomp has some ideas on how Trans-Mutate can induce stasis.
"The ship was shot down. How is that user error?"
"All error is, ultimately, the fault of a user, given sufficient investigation."
- —Trans-Mutate and the navicomp
"The data did not correlate. History was inconsistent. Too many errors to attribute to incompetence. I pointed this out but the reaction was not correction, but offense. Anger."
- —Trans-Mutate
