The Waken Incident Thomas Nevin Huber

"The Waken Incident" is science fiction space opera about life on an Allied Defense Force sentry warship and its crew. An very small and unknown object and associated debris drift into the sentry area. Before the crew can get a good look, the object goes into some kind of stealth mode where it is visible but any probes cannot detect it. Upon further investigation, the warship's crew detects an ship of unusual design, which enters their area. While the big warship remains in its own stealth mode, both ships observe an asteroid collide with the object which looks like a body. While they watch, the body appears to actually capture the large asteroid and add it to its "collection" of space debris. Follow the story of the crew as they bring the alien on board the warship and discover it has powers far beyond mortal experience. Only a sleaze of a civilian astrophysicist, who is conscripted to serve on the warship seems to understand the true nature of the alien.
