’Walk a Mile’ by The Birby Blues

Summer. Often a time of relief and delight for the school student, of party for those in higher education, and dread for those without some form of central air system. Agra-10 has been many things over many years for its residents, from swelteringly hot to perfect beach weather. There have been volcanos and birthday parties, games and fights for survival, and trying to tell early on which would be which was never something a He Row should bet on.

But this year the middle of the summer seemed to be going just well. Not too hot, not too cold, but just at that sweet spot of enjoying yourself with the down time. If, of course, He Rows find living with their growing Agrii neighbor populous and waiting for Venidelosia’s updates enjoyable. There’s good news on that front at least. Venidelosia has stated she’s finishing her analysis on the data brought back from the dead planet and its space station. The information is due to be turned into the He Rows by the end of the month to help decide where they will be travelling next month.

So really, it is time to kick back and relax. And would you look at that, the now local Agrii seem to have something up their sleeves. They scurry around the city like it’s some big secret, clearly trying to hide something from the He Rows as they go back and forth to the beach. What in the world could they be up to? Maybe a new attempt at violence? But surely your little Plantkin allies and the Wanderer would tell you if they noticed something, right? That was part of the agreements. And Te Mi’s translators seem involved as well, and they were definitely not the aggressive sort.

Actually, while you’re wondering about that, why are the Funfronds also seeming to be sort of secretive right now? Is it an illness? Did you forget about your own birthday or something?
