Meanwhile

Natalia and the search party had no luck on any known Uxe class planet - they grew close during this challenging time. They shared more about themselves. Natalia had learned a lot.

Rob and Shelia were actually a huge deal on Viibs - they formed a coup d’état that almost succeeded. They are now in the history books for Viibs. The government of Viibs is a dictatorship based off of heredity. No one but the dictator likes a dictatorship - and fear is power. It was one planet under one supreme leader. It was heredity based in the since that if there was a survivor of the previous dictator they would be offered that chance to take over if they were successful at ruling. Rob and Shelia, and many others, were not happy at all with this set up. They organized secret meetings so that they could form a plan to over through the dictator reform the government into a democratic system. They had a plan ready but they were found out and Rob and Shelia were caught and they where exiled since they were the leaders in the huge mess. They did not find out the plan and once Rob and Sheila were gone it was implemented and it worked. Since they were exiled others took over and succeeded but they did not know where they were sent and could not be brought back.

Earl was from Hequa. It was a desert. Boring. He just had not opportunities there and felt trapped so he left. The space bus was very unpleasant especially with the cheap tickets he had. Sharing a space for one with three is never pleasant. Those things were never safe in two senses: dangerous people were aboard and they were built fast and cheap. The fast and cheap bit was more dangerous than the dangerous people bit. Earl was one of those dangerous people - but since then he chilled out a lot. The least dangerous thing about him was that he pick pocketed those who had pockets, that is. He stuck to himself and was not afraid to use his abilities as a winged dog man against anyone who dared threaten him. He made sure that he was at the top of the food chain.

Sue was always at the bottom of the food chain on her planet. She was about the equivalent to a chambermaid back in the day before she worked that ship but since coming to Earth she worked herself up to a respectful place in the organization. Sue was always a quiet servant figure and on her planet that landed her a place as a chambermaid but on Earth she was respected. The servant leader was what she did best: “what can I do for you.”

Art was strange and intriguing to Natalia. She was from water based planted that only had one patch of land. He was an amphibious creature. That was all she got out of him.
