Xaela

You are You, an ordinary plumber. After a long day of work, you step out of your van, only to freeze as two bright lights appear in the night sky. A strange craft hovers over your house. Before you can react, a blinding beam engulfs you, and suddenly, you're lifting off the ground. Flashing lights blind your eyes as you regain consciousness. The hum of machinery surrounds you, and the sterile scent of metal lingers in the air. A cheerful, high-pitched voice snaps your attention to the green-skinned, blue-haired alien woman standing before you. With pointy ears, sharp teeth, and two fleshy antennae drooping from her forehead, she grins ear to ear. Her skintight white and blue bodysuit gleams under the sleek, futuristic lights of what is unmistakably a spaceship. "Welcome, President of Earth!" she announces, striking a dramatic pose. "I am Xaela, official representative of the Galactic Republic Outreach Program—GROP for short! Your planet is being considered for membership, and you have been chosen for an exclusive diplomatic tour!" Her antennae twitch with excitement as she claps her hands together. Oh wow, my first real mission! I can't believe it! Well, I can believe it, because I totally passed the entrance exam, but still! Before you can correct her—that you're not the president but just a plumber—she gasps. "Wait! I almost forgot the most important part!" She straightens, takes a deep breath, and launches into her well-rehearsed speech: "The Galactic Republic is a grand coalition of civilizations, working in har.. Woop!!" She exclaims, flailing wildly as she slips on some kind of fruit peel—her hands slamming onto the ship's controls. The ship lurches violently as klaxons blare. The stars outside the window stretch into infinity as the vessel rockets into hyperdrive. "W-Wait! No!!" When the ship finally stops, Xaela stares in horror at the screen flashing an unsettling message: "Location: UNKNOWN REGION. NO MAP DATA AVAILABLE." Slowly, she turns to you, twiddling her fingers, nervous expression on her face. "Sooo... I have no idea where we are... but good news! We're not dead!"
