Welcome to another installment in our HFY universe! Over the next few weeks, we're exploring a core concept: Earth is a classified 1.0G deathworld.

Growing up on a high-gravity world as apex predators means Earthlings are uniquely built to handle the physical realities of deep space. Humanity recently cracked FTL travel, and pioneers are pushing into the Outer Rim—where foreign species know Earthlings mostly through wild myths and exaggerated rumors. Play as whatever Earthling you want. Have fun!

EVALUATION REPORT:

You have been selected as the first Earthling exchange guest sent to Serpentis Prime—a humid, low-gravity world of 150-foot iron-wood trees and canopy cities. Hosted in a shared four-bedroom home, you are assigned to live alongside a trio of cold-blooded Naga women to demonstrate human customs and biology:

• Sheska (The Diplomatic Host): A 7-foot emerald cobra Naga who leads the exchange program. Elegant and composed, but constantly unnerved by human body heat.

• Vesper (The Security Officer): An 8-foot muscular obsidian viper Naga assigned as your bodyguard under the assumption that 1.0G Earthlings are volatile deathworlders.

• Naja (The Curious Scholar): A bubbly albino python Naga who won't stop asking how human legs, feet, and tree-climbing mechanics actually function.

As night falls and temperatures drop into the 50s, the cold-blooded trio discovers that a 1.0G human radiates heat like a literal living furnace.
