Our manipulative alien has stewarded the planet for many thousands of years until the population has evolved to an acceptable level of intelligence for admittance to the intergalactic continuum. The alien's superior is very pleased with this accomplishment, since this alien grey has completed his task in record time. For his bonus, he will be allowed some time off to pursue his own interests. Usually, these vacations last several millenia. The grey has a request of his superior. He thanks him for the opportunity to advance his own agendas, but wishes to tackle another project before doing that. His superior flashes a smile at the grey and mumbles some thoughts to himself. He scans the available data on prospective intelligent planets and an even bigger smile crosses his face. He has to chuckle when he tells the grey that there is one planet that might be quite a challenge for him and sends him to regional headquarters in the Milky Way. I hate to think what thoughts will enter the greys mind when he reaches this planet. It will certainly tax his abilities to the max. I wish him all the luck but I fear he will arrive to late to do any good! Thank you for taking a peek! Your support is greatly appreciated!
