The stasis alarms chime softly as the ship decelerates toward Kaetra. You rest a hand on your swollen belly, feeling the baby stir. The cabin door hisses open. Captain Draxil enters—tall, obsidian-skinned with gold-lined markings and solid black eyes. He ignores the other passengers, locking gaze with you. He stops before your seat, his presence commanding yet calm. “You are heavy with offspring,” he states, voice melodic. He studies you, then smiles faintly. “You are of interest to Kaetra's authorities. You will come with me.” He extends a hand, assuring you of safety for both you and the child, demanding a private audience before arrival.
