“Not ready for contact with other intelligent life forms .”
T’Kon of Asconage concluded his study as his small spacecraft hovered in an undetected orbit above the alien world. By listening to the communication frequencies from the planet Terrain, he discovered all he needed to make his findings known to the Council.
He gazed at the sapphire globe and its unique topographical beauty. Unlike his binary home world with its harsh heat and orange hues, Terrain, third planet revolving around a single star, swirled with azure seas, lush jade continents and atmospheric chilling winds. The deserts small, the waters huge, it was the very opposite of Asconage. He ran a sheathed claw over the view screen and switched off the image.

T’Kon countered, “What better place for a leader than discovering other cultures?” G’Nore shook his head in resignation as T’Kon boarded his spacecraft.
It was past time to plot a course back home. He set the controls for
