Biologist Elain Mavka is sent to a foreign planet recently named Miea.  A place where she gets free range to explore, document, and report the findings of site 27-43. Otherwise known as the Mushroom Forest. What seems to be beautiful and mysterious turns out to be just that. Where Elain is the first explorer to make contact with humanoid aliens. Though are they really the aliens when she is on their planet?

Her only company on this journey is young Milo Zephyr, who is still in his training wheels, and Selcouth, a companion she encounters soon after their arrival. Well, them and the strange feeling that they are being watched.

On another side of the spectrum, the older sister (Enya) of her infant brother (Kenton) are looking for a way to survive up in the station effectively named Head Quarters. Her with an assistant's job to keep everything in order on the ship. Then, with no explanation, there was a sudden blaring siren and flashing red lights. A guard she knew, who was a few years older than her, marches them straight to an escape pod. Sending them to a planet they've never known before.

The three of them landed on completely unexplored territory of this planet and it didn't take long for Enya to stumble into a nine-foot monster of a creature. Or, rather, it stumbled into her.

Nefelibata

 unable to defend oneself or to act without help 


As soon as Danielle was free, they were trying to protect her and the babe from behind while Mori was on the other side. Enya was forced to curl in around Ken, because that was all she was able to do to assist in the protection circle. All she was able to protect was the babe in her hands. This whole thing was making her feel like a burden of some sort to the people on her side. If she was more than a meager assistant, maybe she would be able to do more for the three of them. The only other thing she found pride in was her common sense and logic skills, which only helped in the situations that required brawn over the brain. This was not one of these times. 


“Mori, tnatsni siht nwod dnats!” Teruunial, Enya thought the alien on her side had called her, screeched loudly. The sound was so loud and ugly that it forced the weaker monsters of their tribe to bow away and out of range of her fury.
