Embraced by strangers. The Furlorians want to earn their trust.

The Federation needs help and Taj volunteers. She takes the team to a distant planet. The fate of her people doesn't depend on her success, but if she fails, the Furlorians' hope goes with her.

Wearing that mantle, they hold nothing back as they go into the lion's den, their cat eyes focused on a singular goal.
