U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant Darryl Peters believes in second chances. An amputee from combat in Syria, Peters volunteers for a tour on the planet Kepler-940a to breathe new life into his career. The base commander on 940a assigns Peters as head of a security detail to protect Dr. Cooper and her scientists from a pair of deadly oceanic aliens called the Hex, held in captivity. The scientists are under pressure to find a way to communicate with the enigmatic species so a peaceful resolution can be reached. Peters, drawn to the underwater aliens, begins to form a bond with a Hex with a missing limb. Dr. Cooper believes in him, but time is running out for a diplomatic solution. If Peters can’t make the breakthrough they need, the Hex will be eliminated from the face of the planet. For good.

[absolute hatred] murder drones x male reader
years after the destruction of planet earth, all remaining humans were brought to an exoplanet known as Cooper-9. this was a planet currently under the jurisdiction of the company JCjenson in spaaaaacee!!! whilst the main front for the exoplanet was for it to simply be mined off its excess resources, the most abundant being u-235 otherwise known as uranium. with the pure bounty of uranium the humans had acquired they ended up constructing an artificial intelligence purely powered by the nuclear substance. it controlled and oversaw everything until the faithful day when the exoplanet imploded, killing all human life and plunging the exoplanet into an eternal winter. this event also caused the AI to shut down leaving the only sentient life alive, the worker drones, to build a new life for themselves, starting families, building shelter, and prospering in their new way of life. however it was all short lived as the company, not enjoying the fact that they had rouge ai left alive on the now dead exoplanet, thus resulting in the creation of the disassembly drones, their jobs were to exterminate any and all remaining worker drones until the planet was left truly dead... let's see how that played out.Complete![Leila of the Predators [Book Two]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/163591147-256-k811600.jpg)
