"First contact by the World-Writers on 'Etaera III'" 🌟 - The worlds of H.C. van Mullon 🌟 Chapter II part 12

A wonderful next stage for H.C. van Mullon and Chailya on "Etaera III." The first encounter with an alien civilization presents a challenge entirely different from a simulation. Here, the aspiring world-builders must observe, listen, and learn—without prematurely interfering in the development of another world. 🌟

Their professor oversees the encounter, while the Count and Chailya handle the contact themselves. In this way, we see them as a young team, long before they eventually acquire their own starship. 🌟

This scene contains an important lesson: understanding an alien world is something quite different from reshaping it to fit one’s own vision. 🌟
