Synopsis: The Dorman Colony Complex, on Planet Locris, has sent out a
         distress signal. The Lovely Angel is the closest ship and responds
         to the call for help. What the Angels find plunges them into a
         fight for their lives as the Aliens are trying to overrun the
         colony complex. But things go from bad to worse as "The Company", a
         ruthless and greedy conglomerate, is involved in the situation. A
         company owned ship, the "Glory Ann", is responsible for the Aliens
         being on the planet, but was it deliberate or an accident? The
         Glory Ann recovered something from deep space and then headed for
         the planet Locris, after getting encrypted orders from "The
         Company". Accusations of sabotage and spying get added to an
         already desperate situation.

Personal: This story is written in paragraph format. This story starts out as
         a desperate fight against the Aliens. But a larger mystery is added
         with the sabotage and spying implications. The list of suspects and
         clues makes the story more than a running fight. The new characters
         in the story have full personalities which allow for in-depth
         character interaction. The Angels end up getting rescued by the
         marines in the story often. This reduces the Angels toughest person
         around feeling as the marines appear tougher. The story ends with a
         sequel type ending with a new plot hook left open.
