Is That You Xeluchli?

A routine field trip around the Milky Way takes an unexpected turn when two curious students, Orena and Xeluchli, slip away from their instructor’s watchful eye. Using experimental thought‑weaving, they tune out the lecture frequency and set a course for a nearby star‑cluster, drawn by the promise of uncharted worlds.

Their detour lands them on a fledgling planet listed only as “BuP,” where a primitive civilization is just beginning to blossom. The pair watch the early societies struggle with war, scarcity and social stagnation, all while noting the rare bi‑sexual nature of the inhabitants—a trait they share. As the timeline stretches over millennia, the observers grapple with the strict rules that forbid any interference, wondering whether the temptation to guide the nascent culture is worth the risk of breaking the very protocol that keeps their tour intact.
