Celia Reyes had a difficult job as she worked with people and their problems with the law. Soon to be involved in much bigger events, on a clear sunny day and on a sandy beach, Celia made her first off-world contact with the Qell Protectorate. Her first contact would forever change her life. The Earth woman will assist with a planned asteroid strike aimed at two worlds. Also, Celia will be involved in the plans of a distant race to "clear the way" for strip mining the Earth planet by permanently removing all life from the area. Her efforts, her work, will forever change the destiny of two races, and the people she loves.
