((This is going to start off in space, in their space shuttle first, then Plerona and Orion will arrive to Aedolis.))
In the vastness of space, near the space station TRIM, a lone space shuttle made from a strange type of metal slowed down its traveling speed as they came within close range of Thanatos Inc.'s experimental space laboratory. It then came to a slow stop, hovering as it sat silently in the black void, as though watching the space station itself from within its depths. For indeed, the inhabitants inside were doing just that by means a viewing panel installed in the interior of it, near where the pilot was controlling the shuttle.
Inside, were three aliens, that is a female Trenopian from the Pleiades star system and her brother along with the Trenopian pilot who was in charge of flying them to their destination. The brother and sister gazed solemnly at the panel in front of them as the pilot adjusted some controls on the headboard of the small vessel they were in.
Finally one of them spoke up. "I will never understand the cruelty and viciousness that humans display towards their own kind." the female named Plerona spoke up. "It is sad to see such displays upon their psyches, both those being experimented upon and the experimenters themselves. For indeed, their souls are further tainted with each and every test they perform upon those poor people." Plerona paused, still observing the screen in front of them as a guard walked away on-screen after ruthlessly shocking a test subject to near-death with a taser weapon because the person refused to cooperate with the scientists' demands. That person lay there on the floor barely conscious as his nervous system started to react violently to the electricity that had laced rapidly throughout his already taxed body. "However I have hope that they will see the errors of their ways one day and stop their torment. There are other ways to accomplish what they seek to." Plerona looked at Orion who was still watching the screen silently. "Brother?" she questioned him.
Orion though, wasn't so certain. He then spoke up in a quiet tone. "After witnessing the diabolic acts of some of these 'scientists' I have to wonder about your logic, sister. That's not to say there isn't a possibility that they will change. However, based on my understanding on everything I've seen on my travels it will take a major revelation on their part before any such thing happens. As well as finding other alternatives that don't involve testing any living thing, person or animal alike." He paused, then continued. "What knowledge I have gleaned from watching these humans though is that while some in fact may change, others may never and continue on how they have been for it is all they know how to. That in itself, is not easily reversible." He shook his head, watching as the person tried to get back up but fell down on his back as two lab scientists proceeded to stick more tubes into his brain and inject chemicals into those tubes, vile green and purple liquids bubbling as they went from the tubes into the subject's brain before he further convulsed in agony and fear. "Turn it off, I have seen what I need to." Orion told Plerona before turning away.
Plerona did as her brother asked and the screen turned to a blank, metallic sheen of silver-gray as the display went lifeless. "You remember our mission though, don't you Orion?"
Orion turned back to Plerona. "Yes, of course. It is why we're even going this way. It is not something to easily dismiss from memory."
Plerona was about to respond when the pilot called back to them, "Are we ready to continue onwards, Miss Plerona and Mr. Orion? We cannot dawdle here for too long, the engine might complain." he joked a little, trying to lighten the tension which had filled the small shuttle.
Orion nodded his head in assent. "Please do." he told the pilot.
And with that, the vessel flew at a steady velocity towards the planet of Earth, on their way to the last major nation that inhabited those lands. Aedolis, a nation of dragonriders and their psychic pilots as well as the many others who dwelt there.
