Scout Kii-Jin

When a battle-damaged spacecraft comes down in the night, a few wish to meet the pilot, learn from those from visit us from space.
A government agency wants to strip it any usable weapons, and keep the pilot in a dark room, should they survive entry into the atmosphere and the fighters they have waiting.
Far Edge Scout Kii-jin finds herself wanted when she ends up coming down in the woods while tracking a dangerous species.
She isn't real concerned; she went to a school to learn how to deal with these problems... and has an orbiting probe to help her… and the authority to destroy the planet… if she feels it necessary.
When her new friend is taken by the government in her place; it just might become necessary.
