Slowpoke by Jen SorensenAbout Skin Horse
Somewhere in this great nation is a top-secret government agency in charge of providing aid to America's nonhuman citizenry. Perpetually overworked and underpaid, these dedicated civil servants soldier on with a dedication exceeded only by their respective passions for heavy rifles, stylish footwear, and good sturdy squeaky toys. They're not our country's best nor our country's brightest, but to all the lost and lonely creations of misguided science wandering the wild places of this country, they are a beacon of minimum-wage hope. This is their story.

The poppyseed bagels are part of his cunning plan to get the citizens of Alaska all busted on drug tests!

I always thought the “poppy-seed-defense” was bogus and that you’d have to eat tons of poppy seeds to skew a test, but I just did some research, and apparently one poppy seed bagel can indeed affect a drug test.
What I found is that in the US at least, they may raise the federal test threshold for morphine/codeine from 300 nanograms per millileter to 2,000 - this is because of the “poppy seed problem.” So our Captain may have to act quickly, before this change is made, if his plan is to get the Alaskans busted on drug tests! ;)
