Alien Infestation: Part 1

In a distant future, a deep-space mining vessel encounters a derelict alien spacecraft. When a parasitic organism breaches their defenses, the crew must fight for survival against a rapidly evolving and deadly extraterrestrial threat.

The fate of humanity may rest on their ability to overcome both.
