Chapter 3

Dr. Alice Tanner

I studied the Raither man, disbelief heavy in my chest. His handsome, chiseled features were contorted in an expression of serious concern, and I found myself feeling more contemptuous toward him than ever.

“What do you mean a prison planet?” I demanded.

Night had begun to fall, and the Raither had quickly and expertly carved out a small, comfortable shelter for the two of us to share. He kept getting up and pacing around, making sure that there was nobody within the proximity of the camp. It was making me nervous. And now that he had informed me that there was such a thing as a prison planet, and that we were on one, I was having a hard time swallowing the situation.

The alien’s sky-blue skin on his face darkened, and I pursed my lips, knowing instinctively that I wasn’t going to like what came out if his mouth next.

“A prison planet…this one specifically…is highly dangerous. It is where the most fearsome and bloodthirsty criminals in the universe are deposited. There is a universal code of sorts: a contract. If we should encounter people of another species, particularly if we are part of the Resha Federation, as most planets with a positive alignment tend to be, we do not simply dispose of those who seek to dominate or destroy us. Instead, we bring them to Hexa, or her sister planets, Jexa and Texa.”

“Are you trying to tell me that you’re a criminal?” I asked, shocked that a ridiculously handsome alien like this might be considered armed and dangerous, especially after trying to protect me from the giant red creature that I had been so bizarrely drawn to. It was almost as if it gave off some kind of scent that lured prey closer to it.

“Oh, for gred’s sake no!” he said, and I was startled by the flashing of his multicolored eyes. He ran his hand through his silky, deep blue hair, and then startled me with a broad smile. “I am the commander of my fleet, and our ship crash-landed on this planet. I have been looking for the rest of my crew, and our ship.”

“You have a ship?” I exclaimed, standing up quickly and running toward him. “If you have a ship, then maybe we can all get out of here…”

“Hold it, human,” he said, putting his hand up to keep me from coming any closer to him. “First of all, there is no reason for my men to put themselves at risk to help you and the rest of the humans on this planet. If you are here, you are here for a reason.”

“Well, yeah…because that one girl killed the Petchuvian when he tried to mate with her. But it was an accident!”

“So in the minds of the Petchuvians, your race is dangerous and deserves to be punished for murder. It would be even more dangerous for my people to break you out of this planet. I cannot put my men at the risk of persecution in the face of the Intergalactic Council.
