About the story:

After major coastal cities sank to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the 21st century, the richest Earth inhabitants escaped the planet to establish new colonies in a solar system 36 light years away from the Milky Way galaxy. Centuries later, one of the colonies founded a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with pervasive developmental disorder, was encouraged by her loving cousin to apply for a scholarship set up by a professor who studied an almost extinct species. Motivated to prove her worth, Moira accepted the challenge. However, saving an endangered species proved to not be as easy as just enrolling in a few college-level classes.

Moira met new friends who share the same goals with her, and they studied abroad with their professors to the habitat of the endangered species, but an adventure beyond their wildest dreams awaited as they came face to face with a giant mining company that threatened to destroy the species' home even further.

Hello. We have two guest with us today. What should I call you? Do you prefer a nickname?

R (speaking through computerized voice): Rain is fine. That's the name I am known by. I had another name a long time ago but it no longer suits me. This one does.

V: I go by Vannie. By the way, Rain here communicates through a variety of methods, so don't be surprised if they keep on changing how they respond to your questions. It is normal for them.

Thank you for informing me. Welcome and thanks for agreeing to talk to us today.

R (continues talking through the computer): Of course. It is good to be here.

V: Sure. Always happy to meet someone new.

Can I get you something to drink? Water? Soda? Coffee? Wine? Whiskey?

R (finger spelling) : T-E-A

Vannie (interpreting): My partner said they'd love tea. I would prefer water, thanks. None of us consume alcohol. It's not just our being underage, it is also for health-related reasons.

Healthy is good. Tell me a little about yourself?

R (switching fully to sign language): I am both a girl and a boy. No, it is different from intersex. It just means I identify as having two genders simultaneously regardless of what is between my legs.
