It wears our skin... Station 331, situated on a remote moon near at edge of the known system, isn't a prestigious place to work. Its three-person staff has one basic job: kill the plant-like lifeforms that come off space rubble and meteors. Jen just wants to get through her eight-month shift without going crazy from the tedium or her co-workers' bickering. That plan crumbles when Carly discovers a strange lifeform during a routine patrol. The small, fluid creature nestled in the base of a crater doesn't match any of the entries in their database. Protocol says they should call for backup, but Carly insists they can deal with the lifeform themselves. It's a simple choice for Jen, but her mistake will unleash unimaginable horror... ...and the nearest help is three days away. Station 331 is a short story in the five-part Cymic Parasite Breach series. Each story can be read independently.
