Version 2.0. This is the updated version of the Halloween Contest Entry (2024). The Alliance has never encountered a purely evil species. Until now!

The crew of the Allied Space Craft Pioneer finds a desolate world where the inhabitants seem trapped between life and death. They’re seductive, obliging, willing to do anything and appear, at first, attractive. Their bodies move, yet their eyes are vacant, their souls lost in a twilight state. As the crew delves deeper, the Strigoians pull them into a dangerous mystery they must unravel or become themselves.
