Marilyn’s people had a long history of interacting with different species. Centuries before they had set eyes on Earth, they had ventured into other galaxies, exploring a myriad of strange environments beyond comprehension. The records of their interstellar feats were so vast they could fill up one hundred Great Libraries of Alexandria and while most of them had proven to be almost uneventful affairs, there were some events the powers that be had chosen to keep secret from most of the populace.

They were known as the Rinnidyans, intelligent parasitic-like organisms that thrived in their sulfuric homeworld but were also highly adaptive by nature. They could infect almost every living creature they came in contact with, altering their brain chemistry and bodily functions to serve their expansion purposes. Once they gained control of a host and began assimilating it from the inside out, removing them was almost impossible. They were dangerous and unpredictable beings that propagated like a virus and could doom an entire civilization in a matter of weeks. They had almost reached Marilyn’s home planet once. If the vessel they had commandeered hadn’t been nuked out of orbit, none of their kind would be around to tell the tale.
Marilyn remembered reading the classified intel before her first off-world mission. To be successful, she had to know all the potential threats, and the Rinnidyans were the most terrifying. The little blue planet in the solar system received alien visitations daily from touristic excursions to abduction procedures. They were always being monitored by The Council and yet this galactic scourge had still found a way in.

“How did they get here?” Marilyn thought as she continued to follow the odd couple with her curious gaze. She didn’t want to lose sight of them but didn’t want to be seen either. Just as she could recognize an infected individual, they could see past her holographic projection too. Reaching for her phone, she took a picture of the afflicted woman and her companion and rushed to the nearest bathroom to report the occurrence. Once inside the brightly lit room, she locked the door on the inside and activated her portable communication device, waiting impatiently for Councilwoman Wikktory to accept the call.

“Come on, hurry!” Marilyn hissed. “This is too important!”

After a long and agonizing minute, her hierarchical superior finally came online. She was wearing her usual disguise of Victoria Lansford, a sci-fi author whose imaginative creations continued to climb high on the best-sellers list. Her provocative red robe and naked feet suggested she was having a bit of erotic fun of her own when duty called, and she was not pleased.
