In the twenty-first century, on our blue world called Earth, we are looking outward into the deepest parts of space, and particularly the Milky Way galaxy, for any sign of life-whether it be simple one-celled organisms or complex, highly intelligent beings. We want to believe that we are not alone in our galaxy. But are we so sure, in our ignorance, that we exist in isolation within our own solar system and our own minds?In this story of RAL, we will discover that we are not alone in space or in this galaxy. We will encounter a creature that is highly intelligent and extremely dangerous. When humans meet the RAL, we find that they regard us merely as pets, food, or slaves to build their empire, where they are the supreme masters of our beloved yellow sun, our solar system, and our blue world.
