The command staff offices on the Final Oblivion were the most butt ugly places Esme had ever been. Made for easy eavesdropping on the change in command staff, though the new commander didn't look like much of an improvement. Didn't matter. Esme would keep her head down.

Scientific missions to figure out Hammer's secrets were one thing. Dealing with annoying coworkers was another. At least until the coworker tripped Hammer's mysteries into striking back at them all. So much for a simple scientific mission.

The Final Oblivion was far larger than Dana expected. What she had expected was that Esme would refuse to come to the family reunion. Wasn't disappointed there. Annoyed. Not disappointed. Getting Esme's butt off the station wasn't as easy as showing up, though. Avoiding the Reunion is a funny SF short story that queer women are sure to laugh at and love for years to come.

Some of which view humans as food.

Chi hummed under her breath as she rocked on toes to heel. A nurse was patience personified even her so-called patients were ancient aliens more amused by the doctors bickering than they should be. Why couldn't Captain Zaman have left the Suhkdeepians alone? Oh well. She was here. At least she'd have a ringside seat as the Suhkdeepians healed their sun.
