The Gray are enigmatic alien humanoids seemingly driven by the thirst for knowledge and scientific progress. They regularly abduct members of other species and people and perform experiments upon them. Few, if any, outside of their species know where they come from.
Gray are enigmatic and their natural telepathic powers ensure that few who encounter them are ever quite certain precisely what happened. This uncertainty gives massive scope for fun Gray names taken from a wide variety of sources.

Ke
Ke has embarked upon a dangerous path. They have left the safety of the research vessels and ventured out into the wider galaxy alone.

The Gray are not infallible. Their ships malfunction and crash, juSt as others do.

Now, all they can do is watch as the society’s technology develops too slowly to do them any good.

There is rank and hierarchy on any ship, but Jolu, as Chief Researcher, has more control than the Captain likes. Small rebellions and errors and cropping up, threatening to derail the mission. Jolu may be forced to oust the Captain and assume the role themselves, but if they do, that might also ruin the mission, as none of Jolu’s subordinates have their intellect in this field.
