About: So far our protagonist, E’lan -a.k.a. the ancient android known by the identification number E12-OL4M- has landed on a remote planet that he once cataloged as Nova-7. Its inhabitants now call it Perah and it is teeming with civilization since his last visit.

He finds himself wandering through the streets of a small desert town near his landing zone. Distracted and momentarily blinded by floods of long deleted memories, he is struck by a passing vehicle.

Luckily, the passing vehicle’s passengers were decent enough to stop (after all, he’d ruined their hood) and offer him some shelter in exchange for a bit of probing conversation. Maybe they also had vague notions of scamming their way into a windfall at E’lan’s expense—who really knows.

The family soon began to hear a tale they didn’t exactly believe, let alone know how to make sense of. Talk of a place called Earth and intergalactic space travel spanning centuries...they just weren’t buying it. But E’lan’s RAM was still malfunctioning, scrambling his thoughts with hundred-year-old memories of his time spent with the descendants of Earth’s lost scout ship, the Hermes. He was finding it hard to think straight, let alone communicate effectively.
