In today's episode, we meet Slash, a unique being with a vibrant green body who works as a deckhand. Slash is a telepathic humanoid with some intriguing physical features. Despite lacking eyes and a nose, he has a mouth on his chin that he uses to eat with a long, red tongue. His species is known for its fashion sense, even though they are color blind. They wear special cloaks that reduce gravity, provided by the ship's owners.

Slash's species has a long lifespan, slow growth, and a deep commitment to parenting. Children stay with their parents until adulthood, taking 175 years to reach that stage. They have an unconventional approach to education, allowing children to choose their own lessons.

Unlike humans, they don't have currency and value qualities like honesty, consideration, service to society, and finding one's true function. Individual adults typically live alone in two-bedroom apartments, maintaining independence but having friends.

Emotionally, they don't experience fear but feel anger, love, and empathy. They have a strong protective instinct for their offspring, especially against group predators that are a major concern on their planet.

Slash's story takes a tragic turn when he is killed during a crash, and his pets, resembling headless armadillos, cannot survive in our oxygen-rich atmosphere. This incident will have diplomatic repercussions for the ship's owners.

Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll meet a being with more familiar facial attributes but an unremarkable color.
