Export Duty. The Department of Homeworld Security, #9

Her next delivery will be out of this world! Lily's main priority is to steer her family's import/export company toward altruistic pursuits. That is, until her Nana starts talking about doing yoga with a little lizard person from outer space. Lily's new goal is to help her Nana see through her delusions. But then, the alien in question actually shows up in the green-scaled flesh, dragging along a doctor that Lily would love to have examine her. As field medic for the Coalition soldiers stationed at the Earth base in Florida, Rin is pretty non-essential.
His job is to smile and distract people while med-tech takes care of whatever issue they're having. So why is a Vegan-the creators of that technology-coming to him for help? Though he can't complain about being introduced to the strong and compassionate Earthling named Lily. Throw in some desperate Antareans wanting to start a trade agreement with Earth, and an attack by dozens of fanged, furred Earth-monsters called "cats, " and Rin is going to need some of that med-tech for himself.
Can he and Lily work together to solve Cyan's mysterious ailment and give the Antareans the supplies they need to stave off a deadly plague? Main Content: Approximately 28, 625 words, 140 (5.5 x 8.5) pages. Intended for mature readers.
