Horizon: First Warmth Part 1 – Sci-Fi Erotic Poly E-book by KM Sandling
Preface
Humanity launched the arkship Horizon in its final hour — a vessel built not for conquest but for preservation. For millennia the ship drifted through the void, its passengers sleeping as cosmic radiation quietly shredded the very code of life. By the time the AI discovered the depth of the damage, only fragments of the human genome remained intact.
It did not destroy. It did not abandon. It patched. It recombined. It saved what it could.
Generation after generation, the AI fought entropy itself, stitching together viable embryos from eroding DNA. Males vanished first — their genomic stability cracked beyond repair — leaving only daughters who carried the patched mosaics of everything the AI could salvage: enhanced balance, sensory adaptation, thermoregulation, and traits borrowed from felines, vulpines, and reptiles when human biology alone was no longer enough.
Thus the Horizon Girls were born — two thousand young women, emotionally sensitive, physically delicate, profoundly touch-dependent, and genetically unique. Not engineered. Not designed. Rescued.
Among them lies Lia, a cat-girl whose neural system suffered deep deterioration. Her cryo-thaw was delayed centuries until Earth-based medicine could give her a fighting chance. Even now she battles muscle spasms, dystonia, and a body that both awakens and betrays her. Stem-cell advances promise recovery, but each regained sensation — a curled toe, a tightened muscle — brings both hope and pain.
When the Horizon was abruptly pulled through a wormhole and deposited in modern-day Earth — two centuries before it launched, in a parallel thread of history — the Girls awoke to a world old, strange, and impossibly alive.
Lia's journey begins here: in a body that remembers suffering, in a world that doesn't know her name, and among sisters who refuse to vanish quietly into history.
