   "Oh, hey Vahra?" Maria asked.
   "Yes?" Vahra replied.
   "I just rememberes that I wanted to ask you, why am I here?"
   Vahra was silent for a few minutes, but soon replied, "the Hive are running out of humans to experiment on, so they are traveling outside of this universe to find more. Xahn and I saw the experiments and what they do to people, and we saw that it was wrong, so we left-"
   "Left?" Xahn said, "what you mean to say is that we were exiled and left for dead".
   Vahra growled at him, then continued, "We started trying to rescue humans, but we were usually shot at before we could get close enough to speak to them. You were our first successful rescue so far, and we plan to keep you alive".
   "And I think I know how to do it", Xahn added.
   "How?" Vahra asked.
   "We have to get her into the human's 'Last City'".
   "And how do you expect us to do that?"
   "We give her to the Guardians when they pass through here again, if that's ok with Maria, of course".
   "It sounds like a pretty good plan to me", Maria said, "If we can get them to listen without shooting you".
   "I'm not sure if that will work", Xahn said, "but we can try, right Vahra?"
   "I guess so", Vahra replied, "but if we die, I'm blaming you, Xahn".
   "Then let's do this", Maria said.
   "Alright", Xahn said, "here's the plan".
