Alien Checkmate

Alien Checkmate parallels Alien Backlash as Terrans, Zeobani and two Cats fly to Petislay for Contact and help minus an instruction manual or lessons. Problems resulting include life support wasn't switched on. On arrival, individuals welcome them but authorities don't; they are not granted citizenship. Az, Kaz, Kelly, Li and Stella, now a tight knit group, become embroiled in a sinister mystery and have to flee. Helene, Mayling and Nanelle go back to Torroxell with help and Donny, Dan and Simone decide to stay. The Cats have their own agenda and the Zeobani prove to be delightful and capable crew, mostly. The Terrans struggle with the complexities of absorbing a new world but some Niseyen teachers provide a remarkable solution.
