Bot Anni: A Sci-fi/ Botanical Novella [Casa, V.]

Anni, an extermination unit deployed on planet Karia for pest control, carries out her mission exactly as she was programmed: identify, eliminate, repeat. But everything changes when a young creature she is ordered to kill offers her a flower.

With no protocol to interpret such an act, Anni begins learning emotions for the first time. As she continues her mission, Karia slowly transforms in her perception-from a pest-infested world to a place filled with life, complexity, and beauty.

She begins to question her purpose, her directives, and discovers meaning in the nature she is meant to annihilate.
