an important addition to any meal
The universe holds life, more than one could ever imagine. But not all life is able to coexist with one another. Sometimes the presence of an organism, be it naturally induced or not, can be dangerous for those living in the area. And sometimes they pose a threat to the point of needing to be contained or removed entirely.
And this is where the Interplanetary Agency of Dangerous Organism Control (IADOC) comes in. The organisation aims to call forth and organize numerous capable individuals who are willing to contain or, if needed, eradicate such organisms that pose a threat to others around it. Call it an over-glorified pest control agency if you will but ever since it's establishment a handful of decades ago, the agency had garnered both support and criticism.

The IADOC base on planet Mars, was bustling with activity as always. Hunters of various species and origin gathered in the lobby - some trying to obtain companions for their mission, some asking around for information, and many using the registration kiosks to sign themselves up for available quests. And then there's those who're just there for that sweet intergalactic internet connection.
And this is where are tale begins - with a mercenary turned space monster hunter.
Anemone wasn't exactly a striking figure in the room - she was a short humanoid with a lithe body. And really she could have even passed as a human if it weren't for the short purple tentacles that grew in place of her hair (her namesake). Also the fact that she didn't have lips, leaving her broad flat teeth exposed in a permanent grin. Anemone stood well out of the way of others, glancing to and fro the monitor of her communication console and the others in the lobby. She was looking for someone. Someone who had apparently picked the same mission as her - a youngster who went by the name of Slug. They had only contacted each other online and had agreed to meet at the base, underneath that one very obviously fake potted plant that was either trying to be a palm tree or a rose bush (maybe both).
