Cleaning Crew

Some problems never go away. Aboard the starship Rocinante, a whiff of trouble sours the air. With two weeks before docking, the crew faces abject misery. Fortunately, a recent find holds the key to their survival. Unless their saviors take matters in their own tentacles. How will the survive their new cleaning crew? An excerpt from Cleaning Crew: “The Captain and I smashed their frozen bodies, so they won’t be able to do anything even if they thaw.” “Uh, that might be a problem,” Kyle said. “If their bodies are as undifferentiated as I think, they might be like sponges or worms.” “Meaning?” Carrow asked. Now what? Her hand stole toward her head. “Meaning they might be able to regenerate whole bodies from smaller sections.” Kyle said. All four ran back to the latrine. “We got a problem, Skipper,” Erikson said, backing away from the door.
