Content Warnings

Moderate: Injury/Injury detail

Minor: Racism

Brief graphic description of injury to male genitals. The protagonist accuses someone of bigotry, & the topic is discussed. A civilization faces the possibility of being wiped out. Also this is minor, but it explains spectroscopy to the reader multiple times, so be warned if you hate exposition.
