       Life on a space station. Samples arrive from Mars and for the first time ever extra-terrestrial life is found in the form of a single cell. In its new lab environment it proves to be very complex, fast-growing and adaptive. The crew find it beautiful and fascinating.

       Until it attacks.

       Exciting, suspenseful, realistic (well…) but…but.. the ending. I don’t know about that ending.
