Alien (Zenon: The Zequel)

A sapient, spacefaring alien species contacted a Human girl named Zenon Kar in the year 2051.

Biology
Members of this species appear as color-changing clouds of swirling lights. They can communicate with Humans by telepathy.

History
In 2048, a spaceship belonging to this species got lost as a result of a meltdown of its navigational computer. After three years of wandering, they came across a space station orbiting Earth. Although the aliens' technology would allow them to transfer information from the station's navigational charts to their own ship, they believed it was impolite to take without asking. Having picked up transmissions of a song by Human rock star Proto Zoa, the aliens used the song to send a message to the station, which was picked up by a girl named Zenon Kar.

Operating under the mistaken belief that the aliens were trying to contact Proto Zoa, Zenon went to great pains to find the musician and arrange a meeting with the aliens aboard an orbital waste management shuttle piloted by Zenon's mother. Also aboard were Zenon's aunt Judy, Zenon's friend Nebula, General Hammond's daughter Margie, and a technician named Orion. After running out of fuel, the party nearly crashed on the moon, but the shuttle was saved by the aliens, who communicated with Zenon by telepathy, explaining the situation and offering them a tow back to the station in return for the star charts they needed to find their way home. Before departing, the aliens also used their technology to restore the station modules that had been previously jettisoned to space, and also return the station to its original orbit to prevent it from having to be decommissioned.
