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.

Kobi leaned forward as soon as the aliens were gone, looking at both of them expectantly. “So, what’s the plan now?” 


Enya didn’t acknowledge the question and instead stared down at the firepit. She didn’t have any plans at all anymore. They were stuck on an island in the middle of a foreign planet. This had all gone to hell very quickly. And, on top of that, she still had a babe to take care of. The only thing they can do is survive and Mori was the one making that happen. 


“Sit back and wait for rescue,” Danielle decided. This was the first time they even acknowledged the idea of waiting this all out. This earned them two identical absurd looks. “What? E has that thing wrapped around her finger. I don’t see any need to leave just yet.”
