I’ve got the best placement ever!”
She gasped and squealed. “No way! Really?”
Grmich grinned, bouncing in place. “For reals! See?” She spun, showing Kfent the image of Earth spinning slowly on the glowing tag between her shoulder blades.
“Wow!” Kfent reached but drew her hand back before reaching it. Did it hurt?”
“Not at all.” Grmich shrugged. “Kinda itches, though.”
“I don’t know if I could handle an Earth assignment. From what I hear, they are a mess. They don’t trust anyone and they’re always fighting. I’m hoping for Mars. I love the heat and I’ve always been drawn to that planet.”
“It’s all I’ve ever wanted.” Grmich confessed. “That’s why I worked so hard. If I can convince them to live in peace, there is nothing in the galaxy I can’t handle!”

I hope this Being has lots of hopeful friends to bring along. I fear it's more than a one-Being job. I support this effort and this vision 100%!
A fun perspective. Lots of hope.
