I find myself with time, so here's a silly idea I had a few weeks ago.

Through some mix up, an alien animal dealer was looking for crites (critters), but gets mogwai by mistake.

At the same time, a bounty hunter team docks their vessel at the same station, transporting crites around the same time that the mogwai have gotten loose, and metamorphosed into gremlins.

The gremlins, in their mischief and curiosity, release the crites.

Shenanigans ensue, with the people aboard the station caught in the middle and unable to flee the station.
