It has been twelve cycles since Delvek-Kar left his homeworld of Du'ul in search of a cure to the plague decimating his people. His ship was equipped with a Positronic Warp Field emitter that allowed him to travel greater than the speed of light, but no speed was too great as he was racing against the clock. He hadn't the faintest clue on where this proposed cure could be, let alone did he have the necessary tools and knowledge to synthesize it. He was supposed to be on his Pilgrimage but the plague changed that. The Council of Elders named him an Alju'zha, a Savior of his people, and told him, along with other Pilgrims, to find their people a cure.
Unfortunately, his fuel reserves would not stay filled forever. It was time to harvest Hydrogen fuel and as much as he would rather skim the surface of a star, his ship was not equipped with sufficient enough shields to repel the plasma storms and intense heat. Funny, the Council provides them with these ships but not the tools they need on them to be able to survive in certain situations. He was lucky, though, that the system he jumped into happened to have a handful of planets and planetoids that had surface water.
He scanned the planet, a medium-sized Terran world, the third in a system of eight planets and three planetoids. His people have been to this system before in the past after receiving a strange signal being emitted from some alien probe years ago. This planet was called...'Earth,' a word so foreign and complicated to him that he had trouble speaking it. The name of the system was easier to say, however: Sol.
This is where Delvek-Kar would make his refueling run. The species here was sentient, but primitive by Klo-Fen standards. Still, he would have to be careful not to anger the locals as while his ship had some defenses, he had no idea what they could pull out.
