Last night before I left, Al came flying down the hall. Literally. He has wings, remember? He was moving at such speed that it surprised me, especially for flying indoors. He claimed that someone in our SETI department found a Zander colony and made contact. I don’t remember ever seeing him so excited about anything before, but he pulled me with one of his four arms down the hall. Thankfully, my weight prevented him from being able to lift the both of us into flight.
When we got there, the Zander looked to be rather annoyed. Apparently, he was put on hold for the better part of 15 minutes and is of the impatient type. We must have contacted the “Time is money” kind of Zander instead of the “I would like to know more about my past” variety.
Long story short, the information he gave us was not one Al wanted to hear. Our Zander contact said that while in space, they came in contact with a religious alien race that pointed them towards a race of psychics on the far side of the galaxy past the Galactic Core. This race is said to not only be able to read minds but can see into parallel universes. They view these alternate realities as a form of entertainment and are continually fascinated by what would have happened if one small change occurred in any timeline. This ability, supposedly, also gives them a kind of psychic hindsight that is used to ensure they continue growing down the right path of peace. So if anyone knows what has happened to Al’s home planet, it would be this race.Unfortunately, the Zander we talked to didn’t catch the name of the race, so we will just have to pay extra close attention to any aliens we may have on file that have a psychic ability that falls into this description.
