<Earth-Solar System, Phoenix, AZ . . . December 23, 2019>
GRAND ELDER: “Does this new holo-communicator work well, Chance?”
CHANCE: “It does, Grand Elder. It’s coming on now . . . Earthnaut Colony to Engedian Elders, do we have you?”
<Davidian-Star System, Planet Engedi, Zeyon City, Engedian Elders’ Hall, 777 ly from Earth . . . >
ELDERS OF ENGEDI: “We see you, Commander Chance. And we see all of you, and you Grand Elder!”
MEDALLION: “Good evening Elders of Engedi. This is the Earthnaut Colony joining you from Planet Earth. As you know, I’m Medallion, the Earthnaut Colony’s oracle. And we thank you for joining our first Colonial Star Symposium.”
GRAND ELDER: “Given security measures since the launch of our first Earth-built Star Saucer, we have not transmitted our white papers on the following presentations until now.”
ELDERS OF ENGEDI: “We have received them and truly find your Earthnaut whitepapers fascinating and most informative. Please proceed, Earthnauts!”
MEDALLION: “Very well, And now here’s your colleague, the Engedian Elder of Sol, current Newtonian Professor, and Earthnaut Colony Chief . . . Dr. Union!”
<The Engedian elders applaud>
DR. UNION: “Thank you Medallion and my fellow Elders of Planet Engedi! As our symposium white paper summary, we are pleased to provide you this presentation.
“Tonight, we have esteemed special guests . . . our most-trusted Human friends and honorable Colony hosts. Please welcome, Mr. Ben and Agent Fox of the House of Faltinowski!”
<Engedian elders enthusiastically cheer and applaud again>
Words from the Colony Hosts
MR. BEN: “It’s a privilege to finally meet the Elders of Engedi, and an ongoing blessing to host your Earthnaut Colony. Also here is my son, Earthnaut-Human-Agent Fox. And we’re pleased to host the Star Colony Symposium too . . . ”
“As you know, I am actively involved with Planet Earth’s Space Program and have done so for 11 years . . . I mean 11 Earth-Sun orbits.
“My wife, or Special Earth Lady, is named Jessica and our three children are Earthnaut-Earth agents Equellus, Dolphina, and again Fox!”
ELDERS OF ENGEDI: “Hello Mr. Ben and Agent Fox! It is a great honor to converse with two of the five legendary House-of-Faltinowski Humans. Any friend of our Earthnaut colleagues has gained the friendship of our Planet’. You, Miss Jessica, and your children hold the favor of the people of Planet Engedi!”
AGENT FOX: “Hi! I like having aliens staying with us! I read books from the library about UFOs and alien sightings and show the Earthnauts what Humans think about them.”
DR. UNION: “Yes, and it is wonderful to have your company too, Agent Fox! I have to say Humans commonly call the Star Peoples ‘aliens’. Beside us, the Eschirons, Grammida-Geggans, and others are called this.
“And now I will present to you some overview of the Earth region we are in.”
Arizona: Land of the Earthnaut Colony
DR. UNION: “Arizona is a region or state in Mr. Ben’s Earth nation of America. It is one of 50, and was the 48th to be named a state. It’s geography varies from mountainous and heavily forested areas in the north and then a dry desert region in the mid to low south, where Mr. Ben, his family, and our Colony reside. We are just outside the large Human habitation of Phoenix, named for a mythological bird that dies, turns to ash, and then reborn from the ashes. In the very hot desert, its name fits well. Arizona many conifer trees, mountains, and in the desert regions many rocky mesas, cacti, and palm trees.”
ELDERS OF ENGEDI: “Palm trees! Is it true that this Phoenix habitation is at the same Earth latitude as the Great Imm Leader’s home nation? Where the life-spring of En-Gedi is?”
DR. UNION: “Yes. It is at the same latitude as Israel, where the stream that our Planet is named for! Coming up are some presentations about Arizona sites of interest . . . ”
