Saturn

Insufferable horror creature. Forward all complaints to Mercury.

**Saturn** is one of the three playable protagonists in *Heaven Will Be Mine*. She fights to evolve humanity to the next stage, and also aggressively flirts with the other pilots.

## Personality

Saturn is "kind of a brat" and very impulsive. She's ADHD-coded, and tends to solve problems for herself in unconventional ways. She almost universally ignores orders and frequently defies them intentionally, but has a surprisingly good ability to plan a successful operation on her own.

## Background

Saturn was the reserve pilot for the *Interloper Prototype String of Pearls*, an "existentially horrifying weapon" produced by Celestial Mechanics. After stealing the weapon for herself, Celestial Mechanics' plans are at the mercy of Saturn's whims and her poor attention span.

She is an experienced hacker, and many of the e-mails in her route are intercepts from other parties.

Early on in her training, she reports that she felt 'special' for being chosen, but became disillusioned as the Existential Threat was not much of a threat, and her talents went unrecognized by the authority. She is even described by Pluto as "the biggest overachiever of [her] juniors."

### Saturn's Letter

Nearing the end of the game, the player is shown a sequence of letters from the three main characters, detailing their perspective of the ongoing war in space. Saturn's letter, dated January 30, 1981, reads:

> It’s January 30, 1981.
>
>
> They don’t name it because naming it gives it power, but not naming it gives it more.
>
>
> It must be in every corner. Behind every door. Far, far away, in the spaces between stars. It is defined and categorized in every human culture and it is deliberately omitted from explicit naming conventions by Memorial Foundation in favor of a euphemism less captivating to the imagination such as "Existential Threat" rather than a specific word that would stimulate the imagination. But a trick like this will not work: in the euphemism is a hollow void that can hold all fears and all possibilities.
>
>
> Through gravity, humans decide what is real and what is not. But "what is not" does not stop existing. And it, like humans, can decide. It’s the kiss of inverse, everything that humans can imagine, but can’t become. The shortcut to attaining it is to forsake everything that humans already are.
>
>
> If a bunch of idiots get tricked into going there, it would make a very convenient enemy for Earth. That’s their real fear.
>
>
> Before that happens, I will tell you a little secret.
>
>
> Ready?
>
>
>
> —Saturn, Celestial Mechanics Test Pilot

## Trivia

* *Worst Girls* cite characters like Rei Ayanami and Lalah Sune as inspiration, but also want to cross these characters with more bratty Gundam-inspired pilots who don't want to do things according to the plans.

### SUBJECT: Your Apparent Promotion

**ORIGIN:** Celestial Mechanics Division Lead

**AUTHOR:** Iapetus

Good job, Saturn. There’s no point in being angry with you, so I’ll choose to be proud of you instead. I’ll refrain from having you sunk, since that’s counterproductive to our intentions for that unit. You were a reserve candidate after all, so you’ll do fine. Try not to make it too much of a pain in the ass for me.

I’ll have Mercury reassigned to you since he apparently doesn’t have a say in the matter. How nostalgic. The two of you had so much potential. Well, he knows how to do his job at least.

Do your best to not get the String of Pearls sunk—we’ll absolutely wash you out of the biological interface and reassign you permanently if we get the chance, so prove you’re competent enough and neither of us will have wasted our time.

**ORIGIN:** Native Sphere Mass Communication

**AUTHOR:** Memorial Foundation Existential Safety

To all members of the former Memorial Foundation Native Sphere Existential Research Division, now known as Celestial Mechanics, this message serves as a formal acknowledgement that this branch has violated our trust and broken the provisions of the 1981 Memorial Foundation Consensus by violating clause 3, the development of a variable gravity engine, and clause 7, installation of a variable gravity engine into the Ship-Self String of Pearls.

Celestial Mechanics will no longer be listed as part of Memorial Foundation. They will be formally re-listed as an independent entity and considered a true Existential Threat by Memorial Foundation Native Sphere Existential Safety. We are still offering forgiveness, so please defect as soon as possible while the appeal grace period is still in effect. Please otherwise expect tidal retaliation for existential endangerment of human Culture.

Don’t worry, it’s just a checkup.

M: Historically untrustworthy scenario.

It’s just questions, I promise.

M: That’s not really a great way to set my mind at ease.

...let’s just answer the questions, okay, wise guy.

M: ...fine.

Have you experienced a sense of vertigo or loss of balance for a period lasting more than two minutes in the last month?

M: No.

Have your eating habits changed at all recently?

M: No.

Have your—

M: No.

Mercury work with me, please.

M: Why. You work with me.

If I absolutely promise neither I nor anyone else will do anything at all to stop you from being exactly who you want, or from whatever changes you need, will you at least answer my questions?

M: Sometimes. Maybe.

Okay, that’s good enough for me. We’re just curious if it’s a side effect of life in space. Or the educational programming of Dr. Nix. Or, in reference to the behavior of Iapetus—

M: No, that’s backwards.

M: Everyone else seems to get to do whatever they want without limits in space.

M: Why is it weird when I do it?

We want to test for the effects of space alone, so self-induced changes have to be controlled for.

M: Don’t ask what’s in my endocrine system. It’s my endocrine system.

...

M: Fine. It’s testosterone, and I put it there, becuase I wanted it there. Is that enough.

Well. I guess that is what I needed to know.

M: If you promise not to ask me about it again, I’ll give you all the data I catalogued about the changes.

...okay. I get it.

M: You’re starting to get it.

M: Stop treating me like a girl, and I’ll know you’ve really got it.

### SUBJECT: Recommended Tactics

**ORIGIN:** Extracted From Nereid OS

**AUTHOR:** Ship-Self String Of Pearls Documentation

The String of Pearls is configured for specific outward expressions of gravity (tidal forces). The dissonant rhythm of this reactor makes peaceful tidal communication risky and difficult, be cautious despite the range and penetration this unit is capable of. The electromagnetic conductors have liquified the electrical energy into a corrupting material, a form of theoretical matter that should be used as the primary engagement tool.

As a seducer-saboteur model, the unit’s functions are inherently insidious. Rather than armor, the plastics are infinitely malleable and regenerate. It is safer to take damage head on as an opportunity to infect rather than avoid, but the unit can be contained, restrained, and impeded physically and tidally.

I expect you’re prepared for a little payback? And after I sent you my schedule so that this wouldn’t happen again, even.

Hey. You wouldn’t have asked me for my meeting time so that you could send those to me at the worst possible moment, would you?

I won’t rate them, they’re still learning.

Given this—Halimede is underperforming based on the expectations that you set out for her. I told you the projections were completely divorced from reality, repeatedly, for this very reason. The authority she may have wielded on Earth means nothing up here.

I should add, because I know you will forget it as early as is convenient, that she is performing very highly compared to her peer group in the specific areas that you seem to consider so highly.

Yes, even compared to your generation 1 Aces. She has the potential to surpass them, so stop asking if she has surpassed the top one yet. I’d prefer to keep those two as separate as possible for interpersonal reasons. Halimede is too competitive and easily impressed to not make me worry about placing her in close contact with the number one ace. Your attempts to put those two in the same room has not gone unnoticed by me. Do you just love drama, Iapetus, or is there something else you believe is more important than the health of our pilots?

In these moments, nothing is more painful than being patronized, but you couldn’t even spare me that. I can’t understand why you thought me to be that naive, though—I really did know. They thought a world where the children were together and free and could write their own futures sounded wonderful. We didn’t even get close for them to understand that’s not what they wanted. I knew it from the start. I regret only that I didn’t get further before they noticed.

You are asking for my resignation, but there’s nowhere else for me to go. And there’s nowhere else for those children to go, either. I won’t let you have them, and I won’t let you crush them back to their earthly shapes. What you are asking instead is for me to declare war. So I will do so. And we will see if Earth’s tides are truly powerful enough to crush the new humanity you rejected.

### SUBJECT: Nix Resignation II

**ORIGIN:** Memorial Foundation Investigative Archives

**AUTHOR:** MF Celestial Mechanics Research Lead Iapetus

Nix, you fundamentally misunderstood the purpose of pursuing the dream of space. I never sought to correct you; after all, all of the great things you have accomplished are the result of that misunderstanding. You believed that your dream, so universally loved, was loved because we wanted it to come true. This was not the case, of course, even though I think the Memorial Foundation truly believed that they wanted the same as you.

But as the tides of earth turn, they realized in their own hearts that they are not the forefront of humanity’s change, but slaves to its whims. To protect human Culture means to always be at its beck and call, no matter what it becomes. And their dream is one of overwhelming power, that will unlock the last mysteries and cement our authority forever.

What your children achieved with freedom from gravity, we will have the power to determine on our own. I hope you can understand the depths of my gratitude to you for exploring these ideas, that they might one day belong to us.

### SUBJECT: Academy Student Research Records [Mercury]

**ORIGIN:** Database Leak

**AUTHOR:** Pilot Operations Manager Europa

Of all the generation III pilots, Mercury is far and away the one best suited to actually be a pilot, to the degree I’d be terrified of giving that position to any other one of Iapetus’s nightmare brats. So there’s absolutely no chance that he’ll be assigned, of course. He really is trying to maximize.

What I want to impress, however, is that Mercury is still someone Iapetus chose personally for the pilot role, when he served himself during the Cold War. Alongside the current second-tier candidate, Saturn. Mercury used to be a lot different—which is obvious. A lot of our pilots used to be a lot different, for reasons only space can explain.

I think reducing it to Mercury’s personal stake is as incomplete a reading as it would be for any of the other pilots in Celestial Mechanics. Some of them even know exactly what they’re doing—Mercury most of all. I don’t think he has petulant grudges against humanity. He’s just very critical.

### SUBJECT: RE: Let's Run

**AUTHOR:** Bridge Information Officer Mercury

I’m completely uninterested in communicating with Iapetus in any capacity that’s not technically. I know my boundaries. But you are very nice to worry. I know you’re not jealous, because you do respect me, but don’t make me worry. It’s what I like about you.

I know you’re worried for me, not about me, and I appreciate that, but I do want to clarify things so you stop asking me about it, even though it is cute, and I do appreciate it. Really. I’m not just saying that. Please don’t hear that in a passive-aggressive voice.

But I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while. Is it okay that I believe in this? It’s imporant to me that you understand that it’s nothing to do with him. So, I worry that means that you don’t understand what it means for me.

I don’t believe humanity needs to be punished. I am fine being human. But I think an important reminder is needed. Not alien in the sense of a foreign other that can bear all of our rage and hatred, but alien in the sense of casting our own features into relief. I think what we see as a result should shame us, but there are many things we need to see.

You’ll probably say you support me and believe in me. Thank you. But you’ll also say that it means something to you, too. And that’s really why I love you.

**AUTHOR:** Celestial Mechanics Ship-Self Design

This is not what we talked about! Not by a mile. You know I don’t actually have a moral compass that does not revolve around what’s cool. So coming from me, just know that it’s my professional opinion that I’m not even sure that this is cool anymore.

Creating a theoretical matter is not even hard under laboratory conditions, and in space it’s easy to sustain it, but the creation of exotic matter like electrotoxins can get really not fun if you aren’t careful.

Since you hate fun, I already know that’s not what you’re after, and you don’t have to level with me or anything, that’s fine. But I do want you to know that this thing is basically designed to degenerate as quickly as possible. The reactor tends towards eversion, and that will require a pilot I really would not want to meet, and a piloting style that no one should ever do. Eventually it’s going to drag the pilot down, and that’s going to be really weird and ugly unless they are immediately destroyed.

Clearly you want that, I mean, you’ve said so, but if they’re going to have so much fun, let me try to convince you that you should set a self-destruct in there. Maybe something cool will happen when she everts and this Ship-Self keeps her anchored in spacetime to mess everything up. If it’s not, don’t you want a backup option?

### SUBJECT: Why Children?

**ORIGIN:** Memorial Foundation Space Program Documentation

**AUTHOR:** Director Nix

They aren’t children anymore, but when they were pilots, they were, for all the obvious reasons that children are more suited to be pilots than adults.

Since the decline of the space program, there have been fewer and fewer waves of new recruits, and the current pilot generations have no successors. Adults are serving as pilots because there are no longer any children in space, and adults should not have to serve as pilots.

It would be cruel to send children to fight a war so that adults don’t have to. Especially as adults have far more powerful tidal forces than children. In their physical and metaphorical manifestation, tides are the measurement of the authority that Culture has over the universe, the light of the soul that turns all impossible things into our dominion.

The gravitational forces of children are weak enough to perceive and engage the Existential Threat without obliterating it instantly, and as a cancer that exerts a subtle influence in the back of our unknowing minds, they are suited to protect us from it.

For this reason, Memorial Foundation has pushed against traditional cultural institutions for engaging Existential Threats with this more humane practice, due to the resiliency of children and detrimental long term affects contact with Existential Threats has on adults in the vast majority of cases.

In some exceptional circumstances, contamination lingers in children. Their gravitational forces never achieve sufficient power to extinguish the Existential Threat without resistance. Without the tidal force to challenge other adults, they remain in limbo, unsuited to anything else.

The remaining small percentage of the original pilot program that continues to reside in space is made of such cases.

### SUBJECT: New Eversion Proposal

**ORIGIN:** Memorial Foundation Central [CLASSIFIED] %%%Extract

**AUTHOR:** Memorial Foundation Celestial Mechanics

Thank you.

I’m no different from my former colleagues. I think we all want the same thing, ultimately—every one of us. I’d implore you to be forgiving of them, though not of their methods.

Many of us are thankful for the ending of the Cold War. The paranoia and suspicion that accompanied the strength of the Existential Threat in this world, as it fed on the trauma and malaise and discontent of the world after the war.

But I think some of us must have some reservation about the future. In abandoning Existential Threats to address the threats of our home, it will inevitably result in us turning to conflict between humans once more. And in turn, the Existential Threat will thrive.

We are looking for the smoothest, most uncontested future.

I won’t lie. This will not ensure happiness for everyone. In fact, it may be difficult to understate how much it will ensure the opposite for what we will ensure are very few.

But what I’m proposing will ensure the maximum happiness for the maximum number of people.

And what else can we do?

### SUBJECT: Why Children?

**ORIGIN:** Pilot Program Training Documentation [Leaked]

**AUTHOR:** Memorial Foundation Native Sphere Archives

By the end of the space program, with recruitment having stopped almost a decade before the official decommissioning of the space program, all the pilots had become adults. Yet they were recruited as children, and spent the fiercest years of fighting against the Existential Threat as children. Much like criticisms levied at the Scout programs on Earth, it was a motion that Memorial Foundation considered heavily in deciding how to recruit their pilots.

Children have no special piloting qualities, with much weaker tidal authority than adults, who, of course, have the tidal authority to engage other adults. Adults would be stronger more powerfully able to use Ship-Selves. Much more so, the beloved and chosen adults rather than the discarded and flawed children that were chosen.

On Earth, Adults, with much, much stronger tidal forces than children, will destroy the Existential Threat before even comprehending it, and because of this, those threats are able to hide in the world and prey on those who are more weak, such as children, or those who are unchosen even as adults. Those who are strong enough should struggle with other humans, and those who are weaker protect the rest from the trivial threats outside humanity.

Sustained contact with the Existential Threat often exacerbates this effect, and there is a cold twofold reason for delegating who will and who will not confront Existential Threats; children, and the unchosen, bear the burden so adults will not be worn away.

Iapetus: Both sides can fight each other with abandon until the end of time, and never hurt those they love. You will have yours, we will have ours.
Iapetus: If you have the will to abandon your own humanity, then abandoning the rest of the human race, who never cared for you in the slightest, should be trivial.

Saturn: you knew it was a possibility right
Iapetus: You know, don’t you, that this ending will be infinitely worse for you than it will be for me?
Iapetus: The splitting of humanity... very well, I know that’s of little concern to you.
Iapetus: What comes next will be true war, and in that, we will be insurmountable.
Iapetus: If humanity can’t be reconciled, and the enemy cannot be banished.
Iapetus: You will be cut out like a cancer.
Saturn: u know im not really an optimist
Saturn: i dont have any of that hope for the future
Saturn: but you know
Saturn: if you were betting on me being spiteful enough to throw away humanity completely
Saturn: you can bet im spiteful enough to prove you wrong
Saturn: and the world you despise could be real
