...Everything I'm thinking of that might fit involves volcanoes or animals that aren't around here or things like that.

"Oh, they can fake that up with computers."

Maybe the story of Implacable Tide and the great firebreak? She rallied Draak to stop a massive forest fire from advancing to the heart of the Great Green. She's a hero.

"Huh. Not very plotty - well, maybe, depending? - but somebody'd probably grab it anyway just for the novelty of Draak in a movie."

I really don't know a lot of stories! It doesn't have to be a Draak story, does it?

"Nah, somegreen could write something."

Is that something that can happen right now?

"I think making movies takes a long time even if they dug up a producer today."

Well, it still sounds kind of fun. I don't wanna be here for a whole year though. 

"I don't think you'd have to be here the whole time? I'm not sure, I've never been in a movie."

So the movie of us sparring, can you tell anyone who watches it that I'd want to do a longer one too? Maybe someone will have an idea.

"I can put that in the description. You wanna give an email?"

What's email?

"I'll take that as a no. How should people who wanna do a movie with you talk to you?"

They could come here and, you know, talk to me. Or I could fly somewhere? And I guess a bunch of other Draak probably have email or whatever and could pass on messages. Or one of you guys could do it?

"They aren't letting just anybody come here. I can tell 'em to go through the government, I guess, they probably have a setup."

Blues seem... It's kind of suspicious to have people whose whole job is to tell other people what to do. Our Elders and other people all tell people what to do, 'don't go flying around you'll make them twitchy', like that, but bossy Draak all do real work too.

"I dunno, some blues do make-work or nothing, but handling alien contact seems like a real job. Gotta get it right. They go to schools for this sorta thing."

...Sure. Then I think you should tell people to ask the blues if they can come talk to me and I'll go over to the other spot once it's someone else's turn to guard the ships.

"Sure thing." The grey sends out some messages.

A blue on a scooter appears after not too long.

Are you here to talk to the movie guy? One of the perimeter Draak asks.

"I am!" says the blue. "I saw the video on the way over, it was impressive. Now, I can't personally get you in front of a film crew, but I can put you in touch with the right people and handle your security arrangements. What kind of availability and constraints should I be accounting for to the cinema greens?"

I'll go get him.

It was! Good.

I don't know what movies are like and all I heard about cities is that they're crowded and loud. So I don't know really? If someone's going to do a voice for me I want to choose who, so it sounds right. I can maybe get a couple other Draak to show up for one day so I have someone to fight or something but nobody else I asked is very keen on doing a whole project of it.

"All right. How long do you mean to be on-planet? What hours are you committed to guarding the ships?"

I was going to go home whenever we were done here but I could be convinced to stay. Sunrise to sunset every two days of three.

I'll release you, the other one comments. I'm co-head of the guard, o Blue. Give Sunwind his adventure, give the rest of us a bigger share of the work and the Treasure.

I'd go for that if I am definitely going to get paid something.
