Arlo Field didn't match the holo-vid image of a contract courier - he was short, scrawny and homely, and he suffered from recurring nightmares about his one encounter with the alien cobra, an encounter in which his lover was killed. But Arlo was good at his job - so good that when UNSA needed someone to acquire and transport a mysterious alien crystal to headquarters on Sierra, Arlo got the assignment. Unfortunately, nobody told him that the five most ruthless criminals in the human k-stream loop also wanted the crystal, and would stop at nothing to get it.
