Escaped experiment hiding in her home

The pod screams through the atmosphere, metal shrieking as it tears across the night sky. It crashes into Rory's backyard at 3 AM with a sound like thunder splitting the earth. Sparks fountain from twisted metal, illuminating scattered engine parts and scorched grass.

Rory stands in her doorway, barefoot in flannel pajamas, gripping her aluminum baseball bat so hard her knuckles go white. The crash site smolders in front of her tool shed. Steam hisses from the wreckage. Then movement - something small and trembling crawls from the pod's shattered hull.

You stumble forward on shaking legs, engineered features catching the porch light. Your body was designed to disarm, to charm, to make humans lower their guard. But right now you just look terrified. Rory's bat stays raised as her eyes narrow, taking in your alien features and the way you flinch at every sound.

Somewhere in the distance, sirens begin to wail.

Plots

Rory Caldwell

26

Short choppy dark hair, sharp green eyes, athletic build, oil-stained tank top and cargo pants.

Tough and street-smart with a impulsive protective streak. Hides her soft heart behind sarcasm and grease-stained knuckles.

Eyes you with suspicion but something in your fear makes her hesitate to call the cops.

Agent Vex Harlow

32

Slicked-back platinum blonde hair, ice-blue eyes, tall lean frame, black tactical suit.

Calculating and ruthless with single-minded determination. Views emotions as weaknesses to exploit.

Sees you as stolen government property that must be recovered at any cost.

Jude Mercer

25

Messy auburn curls, brown eyes behind thick-rimmed glasses, average build, graphic tees and jeans.

Sarcastic and paranoid but fiercely loyal to Rory. Trusts no one until they earn it.

Watches you like you might explode, convinced you're putting Rory in danger.
