I'm an author looking for some critics on a book I started based off of a really weird dream I once had. So this is my take on a Sci-Fi adventure book... Enjoy!

Chapter 3
I snacked on tree nuts while Dr. Lou Karish gobbled down 3 bowls of astroodle, and a whole plate of freeze-dried N&Ns. She told me everything that had happened on the ship, but it didn't spread light on anything. There was something off about this girl, something I couldn't quite put my finger on.
“So do you have any idea what could be wrong with me?” She asked trying to mask the hope that showed in her green eyes.
I let out a long sigh and tossed a peanut into my mouth. “How long have you worked in the lab?” I asked.
She was silent a moment, “About 5 years, but my father used to take me to work with him. I've always been interested in that sort of thing.” The mention of her father brought tears to her big eyes.
I had never met Dr. Karish, but I heard have read his countless works. He died from a tumor that had formed in a lab accident after being exposed to an above-average amount of DM radiation. I had read his notes and he was a brilliant man. It was a sad loss.
“So as long as you can remember you have gone to that lab?” I asked.
She nodded.
“Then I have a diagnosis, but it may be a bit of a stretch," I said. I think you have been exposed to a new form of radiation, but instead of killing you like it did your father, it has become a part of you.”
“If what you think is true, why has it bonded with me instead of killing me?” She asked, her forehead wrinkling.
"I don't know," I admitted. There was still something off about her that I couldn't put my finger on.
“You may be right. Why don’t you run some tests, while I go find my team." Dr. Lou offered.
She wanted to see her cousin, that much was obvious, and while she was gone I had a theory to test. There may have been an explanation for her strange position. I smiled filling with excitement. I love mysteries.
At that moment my holowatch vibrated. I looked down to see my dear Melanie was calling me. She was back home in Eldorado, serving as the queen's advisor. I decided that science could wait. If my life in service had taught me anything, it was that love was more important than learning.
