A Planet's Bounty. Ransomeers, #2

Governing a colony isn't easy. I mean, I should be in my last year of school, stressing over exams and annoying my parents, not on some distant planet as a ransom for my world's good behavior. Instead, I'm running a colony of five, while doing classes on planetary development, so when a strange spacecraft goes overhead, flying fast and low, toward a group of colonists I haven't met yet? Well, even my Keepers think we have to move fast, or risk losing friends we've never met.
And here I was thinking they'd dealt with the Heritage threat.
