The mothership was flying along at top speed now, skimming across the top of milky way galaxy and heading for deeper space. Upon leaving the milky way the ship headed for the great wall of galaxies that stretched out beyond, traversing down the wall in a diagonal direction, slowing down until the mapping system onboard the ship had pinpointed the galaxy and the world these creatures came from. This journey had taken many earth years, but onboard the ship, time had virtually stood still (to the human mind.)
In the minds of these creatures, time was very different. They had evolved as space explorers above the world of water (whence they had originally been created).
5 years in the mind of a human was but mere minutes in the minds of these creatures.
The Mothership entered the home galaxy. The ship was beginning to slow down as it made its approach to the solar system which there planet belonged to.
Aboard the ship, there were several million frognoids (we will call these strange creatures “frognoids” because that is what they are: [Oid]; a suffix meaning “resembling,” “like,” used in the formation of adjectives and nouns (and often implying an incomplete or imperfect resemblance to what is indicated by the preceding element), in this case frogs.
The frognoids were preparing to receive their emperor as they approached the mother planet.
However, the mother planet was no longer inhabitable. Centuries of war, pollution and general overpopulation and destruction had taken its toll. Above the upper atmosphere of large watery planet floated vast cities in the planet's orbit. Each floating city was home to 100 million frognoids and many thousands of these floating cities formed a network around the watery world beneath.
Deep inside the frognoid mothership, amongst the labyrinth of tunnels and tubes that formed the infrastructure of the mothership, a professor sat in his office, he put a “viewing” cap on his head and perused the images of earth's biodiversity inside his mind’s eye. There was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” the professor yelled.
The door opened and a fleet captain stepped inside the office room.
