My second or third listen. I love this one. I think it’s really nice as a little taster of Seven, Ace, and Benny from the VNAs, giving you a look at their character arcs, and it still managed to keep me on edge even knowing what goes down. It's got body-horror bug aliens, and good character work, and the day is saved by the power of self respect, it's a really satisfying listen and one I will probably come back to again in the future. I will always love a story where somebody has to give a big desperate speech about hope and love to save the day, especially when theyre less of an expert at it than the Doctor, and the Determined Monologuing in this one is just perfect.

my high point is absolutely the Doctor and Benny’s mind-journey where she rips into him and he faces the facts about his behavior and how it effects his friends. It really feels like the whole situation was just an inevitability of all his scheming…

The audio (and cover image) quality is definitely Not Good but I think it’s charming. It's the audio drama equivalent of cheap-o plywood sets and papier mache monsters to me. 9/10 for this one. peace and love on planet earth.
