Assimilation Stories

SYNOPSIS On the frozen world of Eres, the Vega Colony was meant to be humanity's fresh start-a sanctuary for sixty-three souls beneath blood-red skies and endless ice. But when Dr. Marla Reyes's research team unearths something ancient from the glacier's depths, they unleash a nightmare that should have stayed buried. The organism they discover doesn't just kill-it replaces. It learns. It adapts. And it wears human faces with terrifying perfection. Thirty days after the outbreak, Captain Mara Bishop arrives with the United Earth Rescue Task Force to find Vega Colony a frozen tomb. The research sector is ash. The corridors are silent. And Dr. Isabella Reyes-sister of the expedition's lost leader-is the sole survivor, haunted by the knowledge that her sister tried to stop this before it began. Now, trapped on a hostile world with dwindling supplies and failing systems, Bishop's twelve-person team faces an enemy that cannot be reasoned with or easily destroyed. The creature assimilates its victims, absorbing their memories, their skills, their very identities. It thinks like them. Hunts like them. And it's learning faster than they can adapt. As the team uncovers the horrifying truth about illegal experiments, black-site research, and the organism's prehistoric origins, they realize this isn't just a rescue mission anymore-it's containment. Because if even a single cell of this thing reaches Earth, humanity's last hope dies on the ice. When paranoia becomes survival and allies become enemies, one question remains: How do you kill something that's already dead? And when the monster can become anyone... who do you trust?

"We own nothing, but we are happy..." "We are one with the Blessed, and the Blessed are one with us." It's the mantra we live by, like my name. Not the whole thing, I mean. Mantra. That's my name. I'm 17, and about to graduate school to be assigned a lifelong partner and task so I can contribute the best I have to the community I serve. We serve. The Blessed Ones saved our civilization from catastrophe, and we honor them by giving back to the community, working as a whole to make sure nobody goes hungry, or sleeps outside, or is alone ever again. Tasks are separated by colors- Blue for education, Purple for medical, Gold for political, Red for military, and so on. There are rules to live by. Of course, there always are. Rules keep us safe. Noone will have to face the Five Stages of Regret unless they break those rules. Like the group of terrorists that call themselves the HONEST. They insist that we are in real danger, that we don't belong here and if we don't escape we will all die. Escape from what? We are all happy. Perfectly...happy...

Assimilation is either the beginning or the end of all.

The Migrant Journey is a powerful play composed of monologues that depict the multifaceted experiences of migrants and their descendants across generations. Through poetic and poignant narratives, the play explores themes of identity, assimilation, systemic racism, resilience, and the enduring hope for a more inclusive world. Themes: - Identity and Belonging: The tension between preserving cultural roots and assimilating into new societies. - Systemic Oppression: Racism, discrimination, and the cyclical nature of generational trauma. - Resistance and Resilience: From quiet endurance to radical activism, characters embody diverse responses to injustice. - Hope and Unity: Despite adversity, the play culminates in a call for solidarity, understanding, and collective action to forge a more equitable future. The Migrant Journey is a stirring ode to migrants' courage, a critique of societal failures, and a rallying cry for empathy and systemic change. Through intimate monologues, it humanises the immigrant experience, urging audiences to confront uncomfortable truths while celebrating the strength of marginalised voices.

This is just a short, self-indulgent ficlet of what happened after the credits of 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals'. Primarily, how the brood handled Emma's assimilation-there was an implication in the show and I found it interesting that the infected never tried... what they try here. Also, I wrote this during a study hall after my first or second viewing of the show, so its quality and compliance with my current ideas about the canon of the universe may be lacking, but I hope it's enjoyable nonetheless!

Insouciant (Adj.) Free from worry and concern. //////////////////////// Sofie Baylor, incredible businesswoman. Not everyone loves seeing a Queen at the top of a so called... 'mans world.'

But she had to grow up too fast. They claim she's perfect. The outside world adore her. Even though they are the ones who ignored her in the first place. ---------- "You know nothing about me.

Glass Weather" explores the architecture of power inside institutional spaces-how visibility can distort as much as it reveals. The poem extends the metaphor of glass beyond the familiar ceiling, imagining an entire climate shaped by inheritance, tone, and unspoken agreements. I was interested in stillness as a form of authority: influence that does not announce itself, resistance that does not always roar. The speaker navigates systems that test gravity unevenly, where identity refracts experience rather than dilutes it. Ultimately, this poem asks what it means to inhabit space without shrinking, to remain intact without hardening, and to recognize that sometimes the barrier was never as solid as it seemed.

When a boy raised by wolves is discovered in the forest by an impulsive teenager named Rayan, nothing about the encounter makes sense to him. The boy understands no language. No customs. No laws. Only instinct. Only survival. But as the villagers try to uncover who he is, something darker stirs beyond their borders, an ancient tsunami that has swallowed cities for years. To save others, he must learn what he has never been taught: How to fear. How to choose. How to be human.

Class Assignment These are fictional people that I created with stories based on actual experiences and events that I discovered when researching my research position essay. Immigrants and children/descendants of immigrants face challenges similar to these in their lives. If they don't act like a 'typical American' then we view them as being very different and strange. Or we may see them as just their culture and not an individual. I represented this by making the characters each a figure from mythology/folklore.
