At last, the Asturnians have discovered their first life-sustaining extraterrestrial planet, Soruvis. Even better, there's an intelligent species. Relief and excitement sweeps across the news. They carefully formulate a plan to interact with the newly discovered lifeforms, but they are in for a surprise, one that may make them regret revealing themselves to Soruvis in the first place. Disclaimer: I wrote this novella in September of 2019. Any resemblance of events in the story to real life events is coincidental, but still eerie.
