I'm tasked with analyzing a few rare mushrooms on a supposedly abandoned space station–a couple of soldiers being my only company.
However, the captain and his crew aren't interested in mushrooms at all—they only care for the alien that cultivated them. And when I say “alien,” I mean a crossbreed of the universe's strongest species that was meant to become some kind of super soldier killing machine. So much for the “abandoned research station.”
If someone had asked me, I would have told them immediately that such a creature, equipped with artificial intelligence to make things even worse, is an extremely bad idea. But what do I know?
After all, I'm only here for the mushrooms…
Dark sci-fi romance with a fast-learning alien, an overly diplomatic biologist, and a dash of humor.
