When the ship ’s crowd dredges up a recently thawed patch of previous Soviet space wreckage , things get downright deadly . It seems that the Russians experiment with tardigrade , bantam resilient animate being capable to withstand the extremes of space radiation . The animate being survived , but not without chromosomal mutation .
