- In Project Hail Mary, there is a microorganism called Astrophage that is threatening Earth, but is also useful as fuel for interstellar travel. They find a planet with a another microbe that eats Astrophage. Problem solved! Earth is saved!
- Then the thing escapes into the ship, and rapidly turns all their fuel into poop.
