When did you first sense your condition deteriorate?

I don't really know . . . Before I left for the colony, about an year ago, I did a medical check-up.

So you learned about your inferti . . . problems only on your last med check-up?

Yes. It's not that big of a deal to me really, but I guess it's a different story for those who'd like to have a child.

Did anyone ever hint to you that it wasn't a good idea to stay too long on Jeniel?

Not personally, but there were rumours that it's a hopeless place. I don't know who spread those but the word was that you can get off the planet only with a special visa.

My fiancé tried several times to persuade me to leave. He even applied for a visa, but the money wasn't enough in the end . . .

Why did he want to leave? Did he say something?
