Description

You are a brave alien who lives on a planet of wise, technologically-advanced beings. There's just one problem: you are the only member of your generation. Lately, it seems like no matter what you do venture off the grid into the Black Territory following an alligator; befriending new species; transmitting messages out to the universe you get into trouble with the Elder Tribunal. It 's like they don't even remember being just 450 years old! You finally push the boundaries too far and the show more Tribunal hands down your sentence. You are punished, banished to a young planet: Earth. The Tribunal wants you to meet the Earthlings, and report back what you learn. You are skeptical of this assignment, but excited for some freedom. Your navigational devices have zeroed in on this orb of blue and green: where to first? --[Editorial Reviews] show less
