Arlow Tsai is a great guy (really). Around the time space aliens became known to the human race, Arlow was informed about something strange. Copies of him were appearing around the multiverse. When he found out that he was in line for huge inherit...
Behind the curtains in a privacy space, the beautiful tall alien projects more images onto a flat wall.
Every image she could reclaim. From planet Wroug. From time in the pocket universe.
And then one image of her and another beautiful alien on an otherworldly, wind-buffeted, beach. Her holding her upper arms, looking far off. The other looking with care towards her.
"Just generally, it is difficult for Lans to be connected with aliens that have shorter lives. Thousands of years for us Lans. Just decades for poor Arl.
It was more than that, though.
I was experiencing a free movement of my spirit-soul energies. I did not understand it, then.
My soul touching Arl's soul. If I had known I would not have jerked back. I left Arl confused when our minds briefly shared.
You are not the same person as my Arl.
It is hard for me to hold back. Wanting to let my soul abide with yours.
I have a wonderful friend.. a protector. She made it possible for me to visit you.
My promise is to not let myself be weak.
Ohh how I crumbled after Arl was gone. After they stripped my friends and I of our identities.
Listen to me, Arlow Tsai! You are scheduled to arrive at Planet Wroug. Do not go there.
The images I have just shown you is all you would gain. And then the Wroug would want you to pay for the biologic cleanup required after your copy landed in the park. Even though the Lan offered compensation.
Let me help you. I think I can stand to do that one favor and walk away.
You know the second Arl appeared on a different plane of existence and then arrived on your planet. You know that story.
Let me send you to where the third Arl appeared.
It is a plane of existence far off from this one. A place where magic exists and humans live there with other sentient beings.
You would be welcomed there. They liked Arl."
