A fascinating tale of psychic aliens, stranded settlers, and colonizing insects.

The setting is the main attraction here, the characters supporting the introduction of this world where none of the natives speak because they don't need to. Through a series of steps and missteps, the survey crew sent to Chara have to survive first contact with not one, but two, alien races. It turns out to be more difficult than anyone might have imagined.

Over a year later, I finally discover the notifications window and how to use it. :/

I searched for the title. When it didn't come up, there's an option at the bottom of the page to add it.
