Rose had tracked the leader of the space pirates to this strange yet familiar planet. The surface looked barren and grey under the deluge, but the ship’s sensors told her that the place was practically infested with life just underground. She had memories of this place from her childhood, but it still seemed unknown in some unplaceable way.
She was under no illusions that this would be a walk in the spacepark, of course, but the mission was imperative. She had to get that rainbow drinker grub back at any cost. And not just because she had found herself harboring a somewhat uneasy affinity for the little jade creature. If its kind were allowed to repopulate the universe the consequences would be dire. The wriggler was cute, and would indeed grow to be beautiful, but its need to feed, to drain other life forms of their energy, would be devastating.
Rose steeled herself as she made the final checks on her suit. She’d dealt with Serket before, but the pirate was notoriously cruel, and far too intelligent for her own good. This was made worse by the fact that she was an agent of Her Imperial Condescension. The hag was hiding somewhere deep in the planet, and if she could, Rose would take her out once and for all.
But first there was Serket to deal with, as well as the other members of the space pirate command. Not to mention the other creatures, monsters, and ghosts that undoubtedly haunted her second home.
If Serket had harmed that helpless little jadeblood grub...but she was letting her irrational attachment get in the way of her thoughts again. Priority one was to obtain the subject. And that was all. Following a final press of the keypad to save her suit biometrics and mission data, Rose adjusted her gun and opened her ship’s hatch, ready for the task ahead.
