Warm sunlight filters through a hexagonal window as a small little Elpeeb hustles through her room, trying to gather all of her things. She looks down at a paper that is lain neatly on her desk, which is a warm orange color with several drawers, handles coated in gold to match the warm aesthetic of her room.
Stevie brushes her fingers lightly across the paper, her destiny, her future...she was so glad that she wasn't forgetting this. She was so lucky to even be having the chance to be getting it, and she still wasn't sure that it wasn't a dream. Stevie quickly skims over the paper again, she still has the elegant red seal that it came with. Reading it is a bit hard, but she's been studying the universal language for a while now and is able to read it partially while still getting the gist of it.
Dear Stevie,
You have been invited to stay at a planet b.y the name of Isifera, as some of our technologists have discovered a method to give an individual several lives, so that when they die, they will respawn in the last place that they rested. Of course, giving everybody infinite lives would be dangerous, and it's not fully tested yet. Therefore, we are inviting you and a few other individuals to come and stay on Isifera until we can gather more information on the subject. You will all receive five lives. Be warned, however, we cannot guarantee you a peaceful life there. There will be monsters, and you most likely will not know the others. There will be a way to contact us if you reach your last life, at which point we will send a-She wasn't able to read this word, she'd asked her mother and it'd been translated to a space transportation vehicle-To pick you up and return you to your home, where you can recover. You may also request supplies. We will be checking in regularly for updates, but you and the others must ensure to keep the communication device safe. We will not be able to replace it. You will be there for one solar cycle on Isifera, which is two years in galactic time. It's up to you to calculate how long it is on your planet.

It is up to you whether you want to join us, but we hope you do.
                                                                - The SSP

Stevie has looked up to the Space Scientific Program for a while now, she's always wanted to join the team of engineers, scientists, and inventors who came up with new ideas and expanded the knowledge of all of the races. This was getting herself one step closer to her goal!
So what if it was...what, two and a half years on the planet? She'd called and they said that she was allowed to bring her communication device, so she eagerly stuffs it into her bag, folding the paper neatly and putting it in there, too.
She was given an identification card for if she were to come, so she slips it on now and glanced over at her door, which has a mirror hanging from the back of it. Stevie smiles gently at herself and fiddles with her lower hands. She has everything she needs, she just has to go now. Taking a deep breath, she slings her bag over her shoulder and opens the door.
Stevie's mother is the only one of her family who lives with her, all of her siblings have either moved out or have moved in with somebody else. Stevie feels sad that ahe's leaving her mother alone, but she knows that she'll be okay.
"Mom, eyb!" Stevie calls, blinking furiously as tears begin to form in her eyes. Her mom turns and smiles.
"Yenoh, eyb." She says softly, and Stevie can't help it. Tears begin to roll down her cheeks and she runs at her mom, hugging her with all four arms. "Uoy ssim ot gniog mi!" She cries.
"Oot, uoy ssim ot gniog mi." Her mother said calmly, although Stevie can feel tears dripping down her cheeks. Stevie steps back and looks at her mother.
"Kcul doog." Her mother smiles.
"Ti deen tnow." Stevie states firmly.
"Love you, bugabee." Stevie's mother whispers.
Stevie isn't sure how to react, so she just wipes a tear away and says, "Love you, too."
"Go get em, Sselraef." Stevie's mother grins.
"I will." Stevie nods and turns, taking a deep breath and stepping out of the house, closing the door behind her.
The street is filled with gossip and other Beeple and encouraging stares as Stevie quickly goes through, her feet struggling to go against the tide. She needs to go that way!
She finally reaches the launchpad, where she sees another Elpeeb leaning against a Niartecap. Stevie waves and holds up her identification card, and he grins at her.
"Hey, kiddo." He walks over. "How ya doin?"
"I'm an adult." Stevie insists. "See? I'm 22."
"I know." He grins, "But I'm old, so I call everybody kiddo."
"Oh. Alright, then." Stevie blinks, unsure what to say.
"Alright, hop on, then." He pats the Spacetrain affectionately. "We only have a few more peoplw to pick up, then it's straight to Isifera. Oh-And I'm captain Oggie, at your service."
Stevie laughs. "Alright. How many years have you been flying for?"
"Lost count." Oggie grins. "Alright, let's go. We're holding some people up, don't want to be late."
"Alright, then." Stevie grabs her things and steps up onto the ship. It's significantly cooler in the ship, and she looks around. So far, she can't see anyone, aside from the lumpy blanket on the couch that she assumes is a sleeping being.
"Your room is just down there." Oggie points. Stevie turns and sees a hallway, and nods. "Thanks."
Stevie walks down the hallway nervously, and sees a bee carving on one of the doors. Nervously, she reaches out to grab the handle. She swings the door open and gasps.
The inside of the room is bright shades of yellow and orange, not as dull as the outer or main area of the ship. Stevie quickly walks in, shuts the door, and puts her bag down. She wants to ask how long the flight will be, if she needs to unpack or not, but suddenly she's hit by a wave of vertigo and has to sit down.
Just a few moments to take it in, and realization struck Stevie like a baseball bat.
I'm moving out.
