This story revolves around a galactic Cold War between the reptillian Vorchans and the ever-familiar bipedal Raumens (basically humans).
The Raumen Empire, called the Coalition, ends up creating a biological superweapon in an effort to bring something worthy to bear against a possible Vorchan incursion. Unfortunately, the superweapon, being alive and very independent, doesn’t really feel like being used in a Cold War and ends up running off to play and flirt and do all sorts of non-superweapony things.
This story chronicles that and sets the stage for the Biomechanical creatures of my later stories!
