Summary
Grian should have been back in the mothership, pestering crew members and working on projects and just generally being a menace. Instead, he was shivering in a cell, all alone.
Well, he wasn't alone for long.
Gemini Lehman had been enjoying her day off, hiking through the woods, bird watching, and sketching the view. She had plans for that week! Plans! Then that stupid tractor-beam or whatever sci-fi called them had to go and ruin her day! ... why was there a half-clipped bird in her cell? Were these guys animal abusers??
Gem hoped they were prepared for the consequences of being animal abusers.

Summary
According to Council records, the Fulgur Ovium Zedaph Pleighs and his two co-workers - the Ignis Petra Tango of the Tek Clan and the Inferni ImpulseSV - are officially called Sapience Outreach Specialists. They jokingly refer to themselves though as the First Contact Crew. It’s up to them to determine the sentience and sapience of alien races that either volunteer or are brought to them by the Council.
And recently the Council has brought them one hell of a challenge: determine the sentience and sapience of a recently discovered species called Terrans using an individual that they nickname Blue.Meanwhile Skizz just wants to be treated like a person by the aliens that abducted him and go back to Earth…

Summary
Skizz is a human who's been abducted by alien pirates, but his fellow prisoner might be just the person he needs to help find his way back home. Now if only said person wasn't a lava monster with a completely incompatible form of communication.
Tango needs to escape the pirate ship he's been taken captive on, but he has no hope of doing it alone. If he can convince this strange other creature to trust him, they might just have a chance at freedom.
Zedaph has crash-landed on Earth, a very unfamiliar and very off-limits planet. A local he stumbles upon could be the key to getting him reunited in space with the partner he was separated from, without also getting arrested... if he can somehow teach them enough about the physics of FTL travel for them to repair his busted ship.
Impulse's best friend vanished in the night, and was replaced by morning with a literal alien. If this is his only lead, there's no way he can let it slip by-- rescuing someone from space would otherwise be absolutely impossible for him. He can probably find some old appliances to recycle into a decent sci-fi spaceship engine, right?
