Officers Ryan Matson and Sandy Rie meet on the Alpha Queen 9, furthermost outpost of the Alliance fleet. Sandy and Ryan establish a personal and professional relationship, which eventually develops into a first-class team flying updated Needle 2’s. The Kritsch, a race of sentient insects (‘bugs’), are inimical to all other sentient life and hinder the Alliance’s advance up the arm of the galaxy. Each mission Ryan and Sandy fly brings them closer to that last, fatal mistake that could be the end for them and would likely result in a pull-back of Alliance space exploration
