69.2 The Post

A pair of planetary marines have been left behind on Triton 3 to survive among lizard-like inhabitants whose psychic powers are as strong as their claws. The men can agree on nothing, though their survival depends on it.

Persephone Rose plans to live long enough, with the help of cybernetic augmentations, to travel to the stars and make extraterrestrial friends. When she isn't performing Satanic rituals, she scrapes by as a writer and voice actor of things that are not always for the faint of heart.
