“It was surprising to say the least.” Doctor Emily said as she sat in front of the camera. She had long black hair that was peppered with white. “When we reached the stars we thought ‘maybe there was rules and that’s why they didn’t reach out.’ Hah, we were naive back then.” She sighed and patted her arm before continuing. “When we came. There was silence. Wars, plagues, famines, death was rampant. Like The end of history (note “the end of history” is the human colloquial term for the war to end history, the largest war on terra.) at a galactic level.” She stopped for a moment to think. “When I was first sent out. I was sent to Janus 13. The native species ,the Unvali as they like to be called, were quick to breed strong warriors. That made them expendable to people. But it also made them a threat. The Unvali were largely farmers on a class 8 planet. Work was hard and life was harder. But that’s besides the point now. I was sent to do surgeries to those who need them.” She stopped as she looked up. “Hundreds came the first day.. I saved maybe 30 that day.. so that day I swore to something. I would not stop working and teaching on that planet.. the Unvali are now a thriving race. Now..”

“You say that with regret. What happened.” And off screen interviewer asked, their voice disguised to hide their species.

“Maybe a year into doing that we had a number of outposts where doctors were helping people. There was around 20 species helping at that point. The Fal-axan did not like that. They were somehow profiting off the wars. So they-“ she stopped to wipe a tear away. “they bombed out outposts. We lost.. so many people. I somehow survived.. somehow..” stopping the camera rolls back, showing off the doctor’s robotic legs. “But even after that, I never gave up.” She said clenching her fist. “As it is, the Unvali make some of the best workers in the union. And it cause we were there.”

“Thank you for your time.”

“Cut.” The director said.

“Thank you. How many more are you asking for this?” Emily asked getting up.

“324 more. This is going to be about a Terran day long.”

“Wow.” Emily said shaking her head. “That’s gonna be something indeed. Now If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to begin the trip back to Nolla-0S2. My work is never done.”
