A soldier is captured by her own people after crashing an escape pod into a military base, accusing their developing alien allies of heinous crimes with little evidence to support the claims. Tales of unethical experiments, executions, and violation of their most sacred rights bring a High Quesitar to interrogate the female. His job is to determine if she is lying, or if his people should prepare for war--a task which becomes rather difficult when his equipment all declares truth despite the absurdity of her words. Abandoning duty to undergo unspecified modification? Prolonged absence spent participating in some 'cohabitation' test? Bonding? He doubts such obviously fabricated stories could hold any weight; she is a defect after all. This is a prologue to One Hell Of A Vacation, covering Sunundra's backstory! Prepare for romance, drama, and... oh boy... Things get dark.
