Lone Human on Warship Adopted One Cub Cat Awoke to Entire Crew Calli

from Short SciFi Stories on the go · host Kelli Korner

Lone human on worship adopted one cub cat awoke to entire crew calling her mom. The worship went silent the instant the cub cried out, because every predator aboard knew that sound meant something fragile had been claimed. Thirty-seven species served aboard her, all predators, all veterans, all bound by combat codes older than their stars. Inside, wrapped in shredded insulation and shaking with fever was a small predator cub, feline, six-eyed, two young to hunt, two stubborn to die quietly. Predator species aboard the Black Verdict watched in disbelief as the human re-rooted medical power, converted a ration heater into an incubator, and slept on the floor so the cub could rest against her heartbeat.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/little-scifi-stories-on-the-go--7033804/support.
