Description:

An alien probe visits the Earth. How best to validate its understanding of the dominate life form than by creating one that would pass as human to its peers? Its mission would have been a bit easier had it not chosen as its subject the dead mother of a dying boy and deceased wife of a crippled mercenary hunted by peers convinced of his betrayal. The attempt would have been a bit easier on all those intimately involved had the probe possessed less than superhuman abilities to accomplish its mission.
