Captain Tee de Klerk, Space Guard, is headed to Europa—It’s a five-year sleep. Someone has already tried to kill him. He’s trying to figure out how splyme is getting from its home, under the ice to the black market on Earth. The market is worth trillions, and why wouldn’t it be? The splyme organism unlocks vestigial senses in humans unused in eons. Chief among them is the ability to see emotions represented as colors and patterns on living skin.

It's May, 1978, and a UFO requests permission to land. A human girl in her early teens and a robot exit the craft, and a strange botanical lifeform is found onboard later that night by a USAF landing party. The vehicle, robot, and the strange plant are impounded and subsequently sent to Area 51. NASA astrobiologist Gabriel Greenley is called in to study this new lifeform that at first appears similar to a botanical species known as oxalis. As a psi-sensitive, Greenley quickly learns the specimen is highly intelligent and potentially dangerous when he attempts to take a leaf sample.
