Our story isn't meant to be cool or exciting or adventurous or even heart wrenching or tragic. It's real. We tell it so that the world can know the truth. Not the truth about how we kicked butt and took names, but the truth about the people who lost their lives, their friends, and their families in the name of science.
This is the story of how we met some of the greatest people on earth and how we basically saved the whole world. Really, this is the story of how we became heroes.

LF Friends, Will Travel
Terrans are not the strongest species in the universe. They are not the fastest species. They are most definitely not the smartest. But Terrans are the loneliest, willing to befriend anything that moves and several things that don't. After humanity nearly made themselves extinct with a "Terran brand oopsie"™, trillions of Terrans awaken from stasis and set themselves upon a Galaxy teeming with alien life, each writing their own story among the stars. Stories of compassion, of anger, of revenge, of justice. Stories of the clever and stories of the downright stupid. But mostly the story of Terrans looking for the one thing that all beings desire: Friendship amongst a lonely universe.
