Can Taniquel stop her nightmares before they consume her?

Visions of plagues and death. Her leave of absence is consumed by them, and she is feverishly digging into her expertise in virology, hoping that there might be some rhyme or reason for the terrible dreams that plague her. When nothing comes up, she attempts to distract herself by reaching out to the dating agency that she had pushed away, and agrees to go on a date. Not her first choice, but her third.

Ironic, that the date for a virologist is a vampire. Hugh’s people are the worst afflicted with the plague that forces them to hunger for blood- and to enjoy taking it, even by force. Science in the hands of the starfolk caused it, so the best he can hope is that science can cure it as well.

The nightmares and the disease are entwined- and the starfolks’ minions don’t want it cured. Can Taniquel avert the disaster that haunts her dreams, and save Hugh and his people in the process?
