Hijack! Cosmic Connections Cruise

It’s just a three-sunset cruise around a few pretty moons. What could go wrong?

Welcome to the launch of the Big Sky Intergalactic Dating Agency Cosmic Connections Cruise!

Captain Ellix Nehivar has signed on for the shakedown cruise of some ridiculous “alien date-and-mate” scam. As if love is just hiding out among the stars. Ehrm, kind of like how he is hiding from the excessively cheerful Earther in charge of the evening’s entertainment? They might be sharing a ship for the night, but she’s too small, too fragile, and too happy for the dangers of space—or for him.

Cruise director Felicity Rowe is so excited for her first extraterrestrial job, she can’t even sleep. Probably just those peculiar spaceship sounds. And maybe she’s just slightly terrified of her grumpy boss. The towering, glowering Kufzasin with an eyepatch and scars under his golden fur looks like a lion-pirate who might abduct and devour her… Which she did not footnote on the secret page of her to-do list! She’s determined to make this maiden voyage extra-super fun for everyone—even for growly Captain Never-Smiles.

The Cosmic Connection Cruise is a chance for lonely hearts to find each other in the vast emptiness of interstellar space. See, it says so right on the brochure. Too bad this ship has other ideas…Haunted love boat—in space, Eccentric found family, Ill-advised workplace romance, Grumpy/sunshine!, He falls first (even tho there’s no gravity!), Anxiety rep
