The High Council of Sentients is comprised of Gray Elders. Each Elder is charged with exploring, developing, and maintaining a full quadrant (or one-fourth) of the known Universe through peace, understanding and enlightenment among all its life forms (sentient and non-sentient). It was an awesome responsibility for each Gray Elder. Today, there was considerable tension at this High Council meeting. Elders were greatly concerned about the pace, direction and changes required for Earth (its newest intergalactic member). Some High Council members felt that it was dealing with a 'petulant' planet. Earth's leaders felt they were being 'bullied' into terms unbecoming of enlightened extraterrestrials. Specifically, the High Council's Plan for Earth could not be implemented because of three key points. First, mankind lacked a 'one world governance' structure capable of speaking to it with one voice. Second, mankind hesitated to fully embrace AI (artificial intelligence). Finally, mankind ignored many planetary problems, despite having pledged to address them. Simply put, Earth is now in a state of chaos and rudderless. Its leaders are desperate to find any common, unified vision for effective governance; questions persist about AI and its existential risk to mankind; and, Earth's greatest planetary threats remain unattended. Fortunately, the Grays enlist the aid of a 'maverick' Ambassador and both begin to take charge. A new, seven-member continental world government is selected and installed; a plan to boost mankind's level of intelligence is cleverly implemented; and, Earth's newly 'unelected' government enacts a series of decisive protocols and takes bold action to heal Earth before it's too late. So join this new, exciting intergalactic sci-fi thriller about how mankind seemingly "gets its act together" and takes a rightful place at the High Council's table to help govern the Universe.
