Our story thus far:

Our protagonist, a human named Holly who grew up on Beta 7, finds herself outside the Altarian Consulate on Altair 6, and runs into Glptah Zrotif, a giant crab creature with a bad case of the bletch. Glptah is looking for his mischievous son Zagnor, who, as it turns out, was last seen near Holly's ship. When Glptah learns that the ship was left on autodrive he rushes off, leaving Holly to muse about her boyfriend Xeronee and a secret project.

The secret project is a process which prematurely turns Holly into a crab creature. The hapless Xeronee choose this moment to appear, desperately searching for Holly and completely unaware that he has already found her.

Holly is seeing the world through crab colored eyes for the first time, and to her surprise, Xeronee suddenly seems rather "tasty." Alarmed by her strange behavior, Xeronee flees, and after a brief but poetic soliloquy, Holly pursues him...

Stay tuned for our next exciting episode!
