I'm Mendel Meade, Anthropologist Second Class aboard the gen-ship Haven. Normally, I roam the depths of our honeycombed asteroid, dealing with problems and reporting back-when I can't put it off any longer-to my fellow scientists at the Brainery. But this time, I get ordered back, right now and, most disturbingly, alone. That means leaving my constant companions and right-and-left hand men-well, technically they're fourteen, but don't NOT call them men-Darwin and Newton, aka The Terror Twins, aka Oh, No, It's Them--behind. They don't like it. I don't like it. But what I find when I get back to base, I like even less....
Survival in space was our only option. The dying earth and its sickly inhabitants forced us to flee to the stars. My father, the commander of the elite group chosen to live amongst the stars, brought me along for the journey. And everything was going smoothly until I unexpectedly woke up on a new planet, one with an ethereal glow and an eerie resemblance to our old home as the commander of the military space force, my father tasked his men with exploring this new world. But what they discovered was far from welcoming. This new planet was already inhabited by terrifying creatures, and they were not happy with our presence. His men fought to survive against these beasts, I couldn't help but wonder why they were so hostile towards us. That's when one of them approached me, defying everything we had been warned about. Instead of attacking, it watched me pick flowers before later saving me from a fiery blast. Now it's my turn to save him.
Please read the prologue in the beginning before going to Chapter 1. I know a lot of people skip Prologues, however, it has important information that will give you a better understanding of what's going on in other chapters.
