Hyperion prologue and section 1

 Prologue

The bad guys are attacking the main place of the space good guys and we gotta get outa dodge

Section 1

They are out of dodge, specially the hegemony council is out of dodge.  He left on a giant tree space ship. They are going to the distant planet of Hyperion. He's a little surprised when they tell him only 6 people are on the ship.  It usually transports thousands of people.  He has a ship ready for him to leave after he meets with the others.

They have dinner and discuss that the shrike (this cult that appearantly has a god on hyperion that grants wishes.) Wanted these seven random people to come do this thing, I'm guessing in an effort to beat the bad guys.  So they're going to tell their stories.

First up, the priest pg 25

He tells a story that isn't even his story.  It's about some other priest that went to hyperion and found a long lost tribe of people that due to advanced alien technology were immortal.  The punchline is that they found these people and blew them up with a nuke.
