Description

Please Note: This story is also part of book 10 of The Hunter Legacy series, The Long Road to Gaia. Thirteen doesn't like humans. The last thing he wants is to be assigned a mission to babysit them. Given a choice, he'd happily let them blow themselves up, after he saved all the cats first. Exactly how humans could ever have anything to do with galaxy wide consequences is completely beyond his ability to understand. When asked to perform an intervention, there was always freewill to choose not to. But in this case, does he really have a choice? This is a 5000 word short story, set in The Hunter Imperium universe as a prequel story. Originally released as a stand alone story, it was subsequently included in The Long Road to Gaia, book 10 of The Hunter Legacy series. It is made available once again as a taste test for anyone who wishes to read a short story set in that universe, without needing to get a full novel to do so.
