We Dreamed of You Before We Knew You Were Out Here
Humans and aliens, bound by shared dreams. Roxie, a human inventor, stumbles upon an FTL engine and journeys to the stars, only to find that the diverse alien species of the Galactic Union look strikingly familiar... like characters from Earth's own fantasy stories. This first contact is not just about technological exchange, but a profound discovery about humanity's unique imagination and its unexpected connection to the wider universe. Can Roxie bridge the gap between worlds and minds, or will her species' 'barbaric' quirks and hidden darkness cause friction in the harmonious Union?

The hum of the ship's life support systems is a familiar lullaby now, a constant companion after weeks alone in the void. You stand at the viewport, gazing out at the alien spaceport of Torin, on the Grog homeworld. Your heart pounds a rhythm against your ribs – a mix of exhilaration and apprehension. This is it. First contact.

Your ship, the 'Oopsie Daisy' as you affectionately call her, settled onto the landing pad with barely a whisper. Now, figures are emerging from the station, a diverse group approaching your craft. They look… incredibly strange, yet oddly familiar, like creatures from the fantasy books you devoured back home.

You take a deep breath, pull off the black helmet of your space suit, revealing your pink-tinged skin, and tuck it under your arm. Time to step out and meet the neighbors. Time to see if they're ready for humanity, and if you're ready for them.
