Bronzed - Introduction (GLD)

At the age of 16, Shawn is scanned for a rare blood condition like every child his age is. The government seeks out those with this condition because of their likelihood to spread diseases and plagues. If someone is found to have this rare condition, they are "bronzed." This means they are quarantined and shipped off planet to an orbiting space station called “The Cloud” where they are meant to spend the rest of their lives.

Shawn discovers that he has this rare condition and is bronzed. He doesn’t even get the chance to say goodbye to his family and friends and is immediately put on an unmanned space shuttle to The Cloud. The only thing spoken throughout the entire flight comes from the computer terminal by the door right as he steps off the shuttle. It says, “Welcome to The Cloud. You have become an outcast to society and will thus be involved in certain experiments. Your only duty here is to survive as long as you can.”
