Earth has become a dangerous place to live. The infectious disease agency has decided the best way to slow the spread is by taking the firstborn from each family. Dannon and Alayna Higgins and Judah and Bekah Greenberg are expecting the first, and have already joined the Space and Science Experiment Agency to help settle another planet. Their commander's time transporter broke several hundred years in the past, and another takes his place. It is believed by most that the planet is unpopulated. They were wrong. War breaks out. Only the friendship between the Higgins, Greenbergs, and the planet's native races and a return of the commander will stop annihilation of both sides.

 Maz, Rowan, Scion, and Ashyn stood from their seats. Maz scooped up Nala and Maz Younger. 


“Contact Raylay and Ty,” Nessa ordered. “Tell them to release the humans they took as prisoners.” 


 Maz selected the live video communication app. 


 “Rayley,” he said. “Ty. Story. Alec, the war is over. The humans surrendered. My adoptive father gave the orders. It’s time to release your prisoners. Captain Nader is coming to get everyone.”
