Sci-Fi Tales from the Galactic Coffee Shop - Strange and Weird

While exploring a young star system to find the source of an anomaly, a clone pilot discovers something that begins ravenously expanding through the system, gathering everything it touches into a single point. Unable to flee quickly in his damaged ship, will he become part of whatever this alien creature is constructing?

He has no power and no control over his ship! His only hope is that everything will return to normal once he drifts out of this system in 30 hours, but something in the shadows in the back of his ship just isn't right, and neither is the completely black star at the center of this strange star system!

The home star system of the clones has been discovered by an explorer from an evil alien empire of plants. Taking the form of one of these clones, the alien infiltrates a clone space station in an effort to learn more about this enemy before it's empire comes to conquer this system and eradicate this animal threat. Will this evil, shape shifting alien succeed?

After being forced to land on a desert world orbiting a dying red giant to make repairs to his ship, a clone discovers the ruins of an ancient civilization that once existed on this dead world. As he explores the planet further, he discovers something that may mean the world isn't quite dead yet, and something here remains alive and unseen below the surface...

A clone orbits the scorched remains of a planet in a system with a long dead star, and plans to read one of his new books in peace, but if everything here is dead, what is knocking at his door???

In this final installment of the multi-episode story "The Web in Space", the clone explores another part of the giant web in space, looking for any signs of its alien builders. He also explores a ship attached to the structure that appears to be from a completely different species of alien, perhaps a species that came to the web to hunt its inhabitants! Can he discover what happened here ages ago?

In this second installment of the multi-episode story "The Web in Space", the clone boards the alien structure and explores a small part of it. He finds no signs of the alien builders anywhere, but what he does find creates more questions that he feels he must answer.

In this first installment of the multi-episode story "The Web in Space", a clone comes across an impossible structure built around a star and studies the object as he approaches to dock with it. The sheer scale of the construct, and the time it would have taken to build it, is truly beyond imagination, and he can't wait to make contact with it's builders, but he closer he gets, the more he suspects that the structure may no longer be inhabited.

Clone 148 follows a distress call to a small world and lands, intent on finding the crew of the ship that has crashed here while avoiding the large, unseen creature that hunts in the forest.

Clone 303 is excited when he has the opportunity to explore an ancient ship adrift in space, but his entrance seems to have woken the ship from it's slumber, and possibly something else as well...
