HfX7qe2179A9, the bug-eyed alien grey who's discovered the value of individuality, now fights to escape its Mother & all twelve billion of its siblings. Having slipped the clutches of the Hive-Mind, alone and unsupported for the very first time, the only thing left for it to do will surely bring its swift destruction. Meanwhile, Jeremy is busily working out the best way possible to kill the little alien, though neither of them will know it until it's far too late. But before either of them will succeed in accomplishing the murder, they will first have to face the crushing might of the secret government's last-chance warrior, Agent MON2985, a cybernetically-enhanced enforcer on his way out of the System. It's only too bad that no one besides the mind-controlled clones saw any of it happening. Boris D. Schleinkofer is a slave, just like you and everybody else. He lives near the monolith of Baal. His number is 5x2-00x1-11. He is a good citizen.
