You are running drugs from Alpha Centauri A to Alpha Centauri B. If the alliance catches you, they will kill you. Your ship is a 40 year old freighter with minimal weapons. You are trying to get through a blockade when you pick up an organism that attaches itself to the outside of your ship. You are also being chased through the solar system by a warship. The alien on the outside of your ship is a shapeshifter, and it is now pouring it’s way into your cabin.
