About this ebook
Lieutenant Colonel Elorg is annoyed.
Holding a security cordon around a planet with a terrifying plague is bad enough, but why won't anybody listen to him? He is the second in command of the Starship Victory, after all. Why is the rest of the crew so certain that they'll find a quick and easy solution and be off for the next adventure within an hour? So Elorg is less than surprised when the plague escapes the planet and gets loose on the ship.
But there's a reason the crew isn't too scared. Most space diseases melt you, burst you into flame, de-evolve you into a gorilla or something. The only effect this disease has is that it turns you into a woman. Security Chief Hayes is already a woman, so she has no worries. Engineering Chief Golem is a robot and thus immune. But then that's another problem Elorg has. He's a cyborg and if his DNA changes too much his implants will reject him.
Soon he only has that mythical forty minutes in which to solve the problem, cure the disease and escape on his next adventure. Can he manage it? Or is the Starship Victory doomed with the curse of womanhood?
Find out in the second episode of the Starship Victory saga!

Starship Victory - Joey Peters
The Fairer Sex
The fact that the civilization had been destroyed was most puzzling. From what data could be gleamed from the planet’s few surviving computers the inhabitants had been living an average of one hundred and fifty years. That beat the Galactic Union’s average by a good twenty years.
Sam Dunwich had spent the last three years researching Earth-57’s incredible medical advances. For a world with otherwise twentieth century development, they could fully clone organs and heal neurological damage far in excess of their technological development.
And finally Sam Dunwich was certain how.
The image revealed itself on the nano-scope, a tiny machine, no bigger than a particularly complex molecule. Medical nanites. The philosopher’s stone of medical science.
Across the table Doctor Horowitz looked strange. Green, almost. He groaned.
He charged into the decontamination chamber and kicked it on. He was engulfed in steam. Finally, after a few brief moments he stepped into the observation cell. He pulled off his mask. His beard fell away with the mask, a few hairs holding onto his chin for dear life. And something about his body shape seemed off to Doctor Dunwich as well.
I think,
Doctor Horowitz gasped, I think I’m turning into a woman.

The Starship Victory circled the small planet from a standard orbit.
Lieutenant Colonel Elorg never much liked this sector of space, more so the area widdershins the galactic rotation. He felt it too close to home.
Elorg came from the Symphony of Life, a cybernetic civilization on the far end of the sector. He was happy enough to keep his distance to his homeland for one simple reason.
The chorus of the Symphony of Life shared their thoughts through cybernetic transmission. Growing up he’d always hated the overwhelming thoughts of all the children and adults in school and he was always happiest in the seclusion cells he’d be sent to for acting up.
Earth-57 had been on the fault line between the Galactic Union and Symphony back in the days of their first contact. And unfortunately, Elorg thought, they had to remain in orbit for the foreseeable future.
A strange plague infested the planet, infecting all organic lifeforms, from the many, many humans, to the expatriated Gamar, and the few refugee Spoulons.
The Starship Victory had been in orbit for
