Somewhere in the Universe a planet called Oxvan - 61123 exist, the planet is mostly dead with dried oceans and sand dunes in every direction.
The aftermath of overexploitation made the planet no longer hold any value to the IPC, and is only but a line of record in the IPC database.
For reasons unknown, the planet is no longer touched or overseen by the IPC, with word out there saying that the Marketing Development Department no longer finds any sort of value in the planet.
This rumor gave some unscrupulous people ulterior motives, which in turn gave a very high chance for an underworld to develop in the planet.
And it did, now, there is an underworld that formed on the planet with multiple illegal items already passed through here, either to be bought or to be sold.
The IPC either turns a blind eye to the planet's situation, or the IPC does not know what is happening to the planet, most would argue it is the former.
But still, this does not stop the very illegal activities that is happening in this planet.

Somewhere in the dilapidated streets of a city.
Inside an alleyway there is a 5 year-old child rummaging through a garbage container trying to find anything that is edible.
The child has black hair with hints of red that reaches to the shoulder, the child has an androgynous face with red eyes like ruby, and the right eye in particular is unique, the right eye has ruby like iris and a black four pointed star shaped pupil with the edges of the star meet with the iris.
As the child found something that seems to be edible, the child opens their mouth to show shark like teeth and bit on the food.
The child beaming with satisfaction causes a black shark-like tail behind the child to wag, clearly showing the current mood of the child.
As the child goes back to rummaging, a tall shadow covers the alleyway, blocking any incoming light.
The child noticing this, looked at the source of the shadow, and what the child saw is an adult woman blocking the entrance of the alleyway.
The woman has healthy green hair with daisy like flowers that grows in her hair, comparable to a beautiful garden, and hair length that reaches to her waist.
The woman is clad in a white blouse that is being covered by a brown bodice, and complimented by a brown silhouette that stops above the feet.
The woman is holding a basket filled with colorful fruits that is being covered by a towel on her right hand.
The woman has yellow eyes like the sun, complementing the gentle smile she wore, giving off a gentle impression like a mother sheep to those who lay their eyes upon on her.
But that gentle impression did not made any sort of waves to the child, for the child is now completely alert to every actions the woman will take.
The woman takes a step forward.
That single step caused a severe reaction to the child.
The child now on all fours bares their teeth at the woman while letting out a low growl.
The woman reacted awkwardly to the actions of the child.
The woman then kneels causing the child to back off by a step and hiss even harder.
The woman paid it no mind and just grab a pink fruit, the woman then held the fruit out to the child.
Seeing the fruit, the child's interest has been piqued but didn't took a step forward.
The child ultimately lost to their curiosity and took a step forward while studying the woman.
Seeing the woman having no reaction to the step.
The reaction or lack thereof gave the child courage to take another step.
This keeps happening for who knows how long, but finally, the child and the woman finally comes face to face.
Time seems to stood still, as if this scene is stuck inside a picture, before being broken by the child's action.
The child grabbed the fruit from the woman's hand and ran away.
The woman just stands up from her kneeling position while patting her blouse.
She then continued to look at the direction where the child ran away for an indefinite period of time.
A wistful expression appeared on the woman's face before the woman left the now deserted alley.
This scenario keeps happening day after day.
With the woman trying to win over the child's trust.
Until, in a particular day, a change occurred in this very particular routine.
The child instead of retreating after grabbing the fruit.
Now just stands there, and looks at the woman while munching the fruit.
The woman smiled and gave the child a pat in head before leaving.
The child just stood and stared at the woman's departing figure, still munching on the fruit the woman gave them.
A small change in the same routine, that will still happen in the upcoming days.
Now unlike before, the child stays in the same alley.
Coming to the conclusion that no matter where they go the woman will still somehow find them.
While at the same time, hiding from other unfamiliar figures that past by.
This continued for a few days more, until the day that becomes the second month of the first meeting between the woman and the child's fateful encounter.
As the woman is about to leave.
Someone tugged on her clothes, the woman looked down to see the child holding her dress.
The woman turned around to kneel, in order to meet the child face to face.
"Do yuh want toh cam wiT mi?"
(Do you want to come with me?) The woman said.
The child only tilted their head, causing the woman to feel dismayed.
Taking the silence as rejection.
The woman then stands up to leave.
But as the woman was about to take her first step, she felt the tug again, causing her to look at the hand that is still holding her dress.
The woman then pried the hand from her dress and through that, the child's hand was dropped.
The woman then tried to take her second step before she was met with yet again another tug, causing her dismay yet again.
This happened again multiple times, before the woman finally decided to bring the child back with her, Thinking the continuous tugging as a sign of willingness.
The woman and child walked hand and hand in the dilapidated streets of the city.
Multiple building passed by from a one-story building to a towering skyscraper that seems to reach the sky.
After sometime a lot appeared on their path.
As the duo got closer, the building became clearer.
The building has two levels and is shaped like an L and in the mid-section of the L-shaped building is a hallway with no walls and just a roof, connecting to a much bigger building with two levels.
There is an open field inside the L-shaped building with multiple children playing.
As both the woman and the child grew near, the children playing in the open field notices the newcomers.
"SYSTR KAMILA IHS BAK!"
(Sister Camilla is back!) One of the children shouted.
The shout of the child caused the other children to ran to the entrance,while some reminded the others that have yet to notice the duo.
Seeing the running children Camilla looked at the child.
"Dis wood bi yuhr nyuw howm chld."
(This would be your new home child.) Camilla said with a gentle smile on her face.
The child just looked at her before tilting their head to the side as a sign of confusion.
"Yuh kant undrstand mi kan yuh?Noh matr, Ill teech yuh haw to spek, rid and rite."
(You can't understand me can you? No matter, I'll just teach you how to speak, read and write.) Camilla replied with a hint of dismay.
"Bat phirst, lets get yuh clind up, Mi yuh ar veri drti."
(But first, lets get you cleaned up, My you are very dirty.) Camilla said while patting the child before leading them to the orphanage.
The moment the duo entered the orphanage, they were bombarded by the children, some hugging Camilla, some showing their pieces that they did during class, and more.
"Systr kamila, hwo is dat? Is hyi a nyuh phrend?"
(Sister Camilla, who is that? Is he a new friend?) A boy that seems to be older than the child asked while pointing at them.
"Hyi? AI touth Hyi's a shye? WheL kaus yuh Now da Lohng hare..."
(He? I thought he's a she? Well cause you know the long hair..) A girl asked in confusion.
"Naw, naw chldrn dey ar hear as yhur nyuw phrend, Do teak gud kaer of dem."
(Now, now children they are here as your new friend, Do take good care of them.) Camilla said pacifying the children.
After the children are pacified, Camilla let them go back and play which earned her cheers.
The scurrying of children followed by giggles and laughter opened a path to the L-shaped building, with the now open path, Camilla brought the child into a bathroom.
Now inside, Camilla turned on the faucet to pour water down the water bucket.
Camilla then stripped the child of the rags called clothing and finally finding out their gender.
"So yhur a boy, AIm gessing yhu dont hav a name yhet, seing as yhu reakt to mhy wherds, bat sims to nat undrstand."
(So you're a boy, I'm guessing you don't have a name yet, Seeing as you react to my words, but seems to not understand.) Camilla said with a mischievous smile on her face.
As if these noises were the cue the child only tilts his head sideway to show confusion.
"WeL den, lets kaL yhu 'Lusen', whch miens 'tuh bi da lhit' phor yhur sthar liek AI."
(Well then, let's call you 'Lucien', which means 'to be the light' for your star like eye.) Camilla said while cupping Lucien's face with her hands covered in soap.
Like always Lucien just tilts his head and not understanding a word being said.
The bath continues on, scraping the dust that got stuck, while being covered in soap. After some time the bath is finished.
Lucien now bathed and clothed, wearing a blue denim bib overalls with a tail opening and a white polo shirt in the inside, with the hair tucked up in a bun.
"Dat's match betr, yhur evn cutr dan bifor"
(That's much better, your even cuter than before.) Camilla said with a hint of pride of her creation.
"Naw lets, ghet yhu toh yhur rhoom."
(Now lets, get you to your room.) Camilla said while patting her knees.
Camilla then pulls Lucien outside of the bath, the duo are now heading towards the bigger building.
After entering both of them went to the second floor of the building, they then head towards the furthest back in the right wing.
They stopped on the last room in the corridor.
"Dis wiL bi yhur rhoom phor naw on."
(This will be your room for now on.) Camilla said after opening the door of the room.
The room is well cleaned, with a window right in front of the door, below it is a bed oriented horizontally with two pillows, and is rested by the right wall, the bed is colored in two shades of green, the upper green is a lighter shade than the lower green and is being separated by a white diagonal line along with a blanket of the same design.
Near the head of the bed a desk rested on the right side with a lamp directly on it, a wardrobe connected to a cabinet at the feet of the bed, separating them with a half a meter space on the left wall.
The total size of the room is 12 square meters.
"Kam ohn, dhont bhi shai."
(Come on, dont be shy.)
Camilla said gently before gently pushing Lucien inside the room.
"Eif yhu evr neid mie Ill bhi in da mayn bhieldng."
(If you ever need me I'll be in the main building.) Camilla said before gently closing the door to not startle Lucien.
Lucien didn't even notice the door closing as his interest is preoccupied by the bed.
Lucien gets closer as if attracted by a magnetic pull, Lucien's hand touched the blanket before roling the blanket with him inside it, like a cocoon, Lucien now swaddled feels excitement on the new experience.
Lucien played around on the bed until he found a position so comfortable, he is lulled to sleep.
But unlike his time in the city when he slept this one is special, Lucien is clean, a comfortable bed underneath, and is tucked like a caterpillar inside its cocoon with a sense of peace.

A/N:
Why am I doing the two sets of dialogue?
I'm trying to show the learning progress of Lucien's proficiency on using the Universal script and the Native script as well.
This may or may not end in poor execution by the author and fail miserably... Probably....
