For most of the universe, humans were a rarity and seen as a threat. Something to view with both horror and mild awe, a destructive race with a thirst for blood. And while some diplomats were trying to change that opinion it wasn't particularly easy, especially with Res Novas around. The team of seven were an anomaly in itself. Seven humans/human-hybrids who had somehow made it off Earth without any records? It normally took several cycles worth of work on the necessary paperwork alone, not to mention the need to learn Intragalactic Common and often a few more languages just to qualify. For the team however, life went on as usual, casual squabbles, constant missions, meetings and briefings that nobody enjoyed, a few stabbing threats and of course team bonding activities. Though for them team bonding usually ended with an arm being thrown across the room, or someone having a snack hitting them dead centre in the forehead. But they cared for one another more than they thought was possible most days, and as long as they were together they were happy.

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
