You don't realize how much I hate this piece. I think it is my worst piece ever. I don't like it, but will you. Probably not, Sorry. Oops.

Us Zeople know only our kind. We don’t know if there are others out there, like us, or not even close. Our technology has only told us so much information. My name is Raegow and I have countless questions about the Universe. Are there other galaxies out there with life? Is the retro system the only solar system with life? Is the yolo galaxy the only galaxy with beings? There is so much to wonder about the world out there. We can only use what we have to find out these questions. QAZX has only been able to identify how our planet works. Everyday we complete five cycles around the Kuw (KOO-WE) and collash with our neighbor planet, Pyut (PEE-OT) every 78 hours. Our day lasts 56 hours and our year lasts 122. Our planet is made up of liquid, rocks, metal, and dirt. We have 1 moon, titled Ilhy (ILL-HI) and we are the smallest planet in the retro system. We are also the closest to Kuw, and that means that our planet is in danger. We could be burnt by Kuw, any minute. I care about my planet. I live in RAQ, and work at QAZX space station. I have been studying the universe for 5678 years. As of right now, I am searching for life. If life can be found, the people of Tele would be saved. It is my job to look into galaxies, and others have to look for planets in the retro system with life. I have looked into over 67 galaxies and haven’t found any luck. I just finished exploring Planet Telest, and am now moving on to the Milky Way. Beep! Life has been detected. Life has been detected. Beep! Life has been detected.  Maybe I have a chance. Maybe I can save Tele and keep the population alive. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The big news was flying through my brain second by second. In a flash, I heard a cloud of people screaming. I was able to make out a few words, “They’ve found us, they landed something on our planet and it has a camera. We’re investigating.” Two pieces of big news at once. Life had been detected in the Milky Way, and some robots found Tele.

Planet Vita, June 5th, 2023, 2:26

Us lunatics know only our kind. We just launched Navigationer 1. It is on its way to The Solar System.  We are launching Vitat 2 today, to go explore planet Tele. If we could find life before Tele could, we will be in good hands. Vita is in the Yasde Galaxy. My name is Taza, and I work at the XVQW space station, and my job is to find nothing but life. Ding! It’s an update from my friend, Gatoe. We have mapped out this place. 8 planets. 1 planet with life. That was great news. The Solar System has life. I walky-ed back, “Check Neptune.” “Copy That,” he responded. “We successfully launched Vitat 2, it’s arriving soon. Hop on the computer.” “Copy that.” I opened my computer and opened Vitat Explorer File 404. It had landed on Tele. I was happy, I was on the moon. Metaphorically. AH! The whole building shook. “EARTH! EARTH!”

Planet Earth, June 5th, 2:31

Us Humans only know our kind. My name is Bob, I work at NASA space station, and I am proud to announce we just launched Voyager 3 - and it will find life by tomorrow. Right now, I am watching the live camera from V3 live. My seat was comfy, and I was sitting next to my best friend Bill. I was about to take a sip of my coffee when suddenly, the magnetic pull of an unknown planet forced V3 to attack it and then we saw the impossible. Life. We were all staring at the camera. They looked nothing like the cartoon aliens I saw as a kid. All of the aliens were yelling the Greek word for Earth, “GI!” I was shaking in shock, but then my advisor came up to me and said, “You're going.”

Planet Tele, June 5th, 2023, 2:42

I rushed outside to speak to the explorer robot. “Hello there, can you hear me?” Typing started to appear on the screen. Hello there. You are on a planet far away from Vita, Tele. We launched this explorer to find life. It did so. We live on the Yasde Galaxy. You are in Yolo. We all thought there was no life until we found you. Is there a Raegow on your planet? If so, take this mini rocket. Send him.

Planet Vita, June 5th, 2023, 2:40

“Head worker. Communicate.” I had to communicate with another planet. Oh no. I began before the robot broke. Hello there. You are on a planet far away from Vita, Tele. We launched this explorer to find life. It did so. We live on the Yasde Galaxy. You are in Yolo. We all thought there was no life until we found you. “Taza, ask if there is a Raegow on the planet.” Is there a Raegow on your planet? If so, take this mini rocket. Send him. “What do about the robots outside, boss?” “Speak into the microphone I am giving you.” He handed me a microphone and left. I started to speak.

Part 2 - Diversity Zoom in

Planet Earth, June 5th, 2023, 2:41

I was sitting in astonishment. All our years of work paid off. I couldn’t just stop thinking about work and - AHH! It was a loud voice coming from outside! “Hello Earth, I am Taza. I live in Vita. Do you know what Zoom is? Try this password: A404606I.” I entered the waiting room. I didn’t want to though. I was tired of Zoom from the Covid years.

Planet Tele, June 5th, 2023, 2:46

Oh, and one more thing. Join this Zoom call. Password: A404606I. The typing disappeared. I luckily had Zoom, and everyone did. Ding Dong! I entered the Waiting Room.

A Zoom Call, January 5th, 2023, 3:03

Bob: Can you guys hear me?

Raegow: Ji

Taza: Do

Yes, there was a minor problem. They all spoke different languages. Nobody knew what English was, or anything. Kind of problematic, right? So they used this thing called “closed caption” and it translated for them. The rest of the story will be in “close caption.”

Bob: The language thing is solved. AHH! Keep your video off! Your like blue.

Raegow: AHHH! You have a big thing on your face with two holes. Is it a nose?

Bob: Yes weird monster.

Taza: Guys, let’s meet up at Earth. Zoom is not that great.

Bob: OK. Where on Earth?

Raegow: On my planet, we have coordinates for each area. Let’s meet at 0,0 in your Earth place.

Bob: That’s in the water.

Taza: YOU HAVE WATER?

Bob: Yes, 71% of the Earth is water.

Raegow: Ok. Give me a map. I can meet up that way.

Taza: Me too.

Bob: Hear you go! I’ll throw in image in the chat.

Raegow: Wow, that’s what Earth looks like. You guys have no grass, you only have orange, yellow, and purple everywhere. You also have lines.

Bob: It’s zoomed out.

Taza: Makes sense now.

Bob: Let’s meet in England. London.

Taza: How dare you say something so offensive to my face.

Bob: What did I say?

Taza: London. It means you’re dumb.

Bob: It’s a place on the Earth. Sorry.

Raegow: My heart is broken! Why did you say sorry like that to my face?

Bob: Sorry means my apologies.

Taza: You just cussed!

Bob: Sorry- 

Raegow: How dare you!

Bob: Oh my god. Just arrive in the US.

Taza: That’s not nice. Arrive means, “Get your butt over hear!”

Bob: Sorry-

Raegow: Don’t say it again!

Bob: Oh my god. 

The three met up in  England in no time and discussed stuff. Soon enough Earth’s population had multiplied by five. Everyone from Tele and Vita had come.
