After centuries building mega-cities, plants and animals on Haekon began to die off. Once-common species became extinct. The people of Haekon, the Haekos, started to blame each other. The Neos, who looked after the mega-cities, believed the Naturals were deluded ancients, stuck in a time gone by, but they held them responsible for failing to look after the natural world. The Naturals, on the other hand, were steeped in tradition. They remained focused on the welfare of the planet and believed it needed to be treated fairly in return for supporting them. They blamed the Neos for irresponsibly harvesting everything.
When news broke that the extinction of the Haeko people themselves was imminent, Chief Haeko decided to gather the two groups for an emergency council to discuss what to do. The Council decided to send a mixed band of Natural and Neo-Haekos, led by the Chief, to explore the universe far and wide in search of someone to help find a suitable specimen of natural life with which to renew their planet.
From the first brief communication, LEAF Agents learn about the Haekon peril. To get some advice on how they can help the Haekos, they enlist a habitat and plant specialist, Heather Huntingdon. Together, Heather and LEAF Agents get to work on helping the Haekos. The task is challenging, so first they need to recruit a cohort of cadets…. Are you up to the task?
