Summary
Clarke had known that being chosen as a member of the first expedition to Earth in over two centuries was a one-way ticket. It was no secret that Chancellor Jaha, and the Council that backed him, expected the mission to fail despite having no other options. Not when the Ark was rapidly running out of resources after a near-catastrophic failure with the crops.
And Clarke, as a daughter of traitors, was deemed the most expendable of the medical staff aboard.
The planet below was once revered as humanity's home.
Too bad it kept trying to kill her.

"You want peace, but your people burned one of our villages to the ground. The king showed you mercy, and did not wipe your people out.
"You want alliance, but your people shot and killed two of our messengers, sent to broker with your leaders. Still, the king showed you mercy, and let your people live.
"You want unity, but you have bombed the only bridge for miles. The blast killed several of my men and injured my sister. You and your people, despite all claims otherwise, continue to threaten us.
"Now, the king is not here. And I am not so willing to offer you mercy."
