 The HORNETS, a special forces squad, have been called in to gather intel on a new, aggressive alien wiping out colonies at the edge of human-controlled space. Tao, a communication and recon specialist, arrives with their squad only to discover the officer in charge is none other than special agent code name Suspension, aka, Tao's mother. Tao's carrying a lot of baggage, their mother sits at the center of it, and this mission just became personal.
