	"They are becoming more impressive by the day." A booming voice echoed through a metal room, monitors showing shadowy and perplexing images surrounding him. "Humanity has made leaps and bounds in the scientific fields... yet they act as if this is nothing! If this carries on they may forget their place in the universe. A place we have worked hard to KEEP THEM."

"We need not be reminded!" came a thin, nasally voice from one of the monitors. "Earth has been sending pieces of metal wherever they feel is worth looking at. We're lucky none of them consider our planet anything worth looking at past a large ball of clouds. But with this energy they've been spouting, who knows what they will find?"

"I PROPOSE WE SEND A SCOUT," shouted a third voice, as obnoxious as the last. "TO SEARCH THE PLANET FOR THE SOURCE AND SEE IF THESE HUMANS ARE WORTH OUR TIME."

The hall filled with bitter, unhappy, and arguing voices of all kinds. More and more of them seeming to pop in as time passed until finally the first booming voice interjected.

"Enough!" it snarled unhappily. "Chancellor Almadup, you said you live in the same solar system as this Earth. How close are you?"

"Our rotation varies from Aldu-Renda to Renda-Aldu-Jeng Lingars, sir. Currently, we're at Gingo-Wekt and Rendas Renda-Gingoth Lingars."

"Excellent. Send your princess to the source, along with her top men. If the planet is a threat... destroy it. If not? Take a sample member of their species for examination."
