'Nobody’s afternoons have gone quite as expected. It’s amazing, the trouble a few Christmas lights can cause.
'Well, I guess it wouldn’t be fair to give them all the blame, as there were quite a few other factors involved as well. The wormholes did plenty of inconvenient things, and I guess the dragon also had its fair share of mischief making. Regardless of anyone’s intentions, there’s now a human trapped on a very dangerous planet, and a bunch of aliens trying to deal with their own personal problems whilst being battered around by the will of the universe.
'There’s also this game with a hippo in it. It’s quite popular at the moment, but it’s probably just another fad.'

'Beware human, for what you are holding in your hands is the answer. The answer to an ancient question, asked by races from all across the universe. What would happen if two aliens, government agents armed with magical crystals, three creepy dark floating things, a human that’s failed at life and a rhinoceros having an identity crisis are packed into a dingy, Western Sydney suburb?'
