She wants to grow tomatoes, walk in flying dresses and at least in old age to live the way she wants.

and indeed, when Ophelia is left alone on an entire planet, she begins a new life - free and happy. However, when someone kills the whole team of a reconnaissance ship, which was landing on her planet, Ophelia understands that it seems that the population of this planet consists not only of it...
