   Act1, Scene 1 
   [Place] Planet Zazu, Oblanka city, Town hall auditorium.  
   [Time] zz4056, AD 2018 
     
   Narrator : This story is about an expedition team form alien civilization Bantru, visiting Earth. Bantru civilization lives on planet Zazu. Zazu means Ruby, a red planet in Bantru language. The planet is situated near a warm star in Lyra constellation. The Bantru society is highly technologically advance and achieved technology advantage which helps them to travel through space for greater distance across galaxies. In course of time the natural habitat of the planet was totally destroyed. There are some artificial natural zones on the planet but they could not able to give true natural sense. To understand natural habitat, Bantru government regularly organizes expedition program for young adults to visit planet Vasu (Planet Earth). 
   [Music…Any melody] 
     
   Narrator : In town hall auditorium, youth expedition program organizer started introduction of the program to a batch of twenty high school students. 
     
   Khantu : Good morning everyone, my name is Khantu, I am organizer of this program and will accompany you in expedition. Many of you might know that this is annual program to visit planet Vasu to understand natural habitat and coexistence of different species on planet. Five days after, we are going to leave for Vasu, mother ship will be stationed near Gruha, a large planet in Vasu’s solar system to avoid unwanted detection of our visit to Vasu. 
   [A girl raise hand and asks question.] 
     
   Huha : My name is Huha, Can I ask a question? 
     
   Khantu : Sure 
     
   Huha : Why can’t we visit any other planet? 
     
   Khantu : Vasu is in the same phase when we were in thousands year before. It is interesting to see “How species on Vasu will sustain?” 
     
   Huha : Thanks you sir 
     
   Khantu : We have to be careful as Vasu’s intelligent species was trying to detect our earlier visit but they failed. You will be impersonating as human sapiens species so that we will be less recognizable. 
     
   [A boy raised his hand to ask question.] 
     
   Boy : Why don’t we have Virtual reality Tour for some hours of Planet Vasu? The VR experience is as good as real. 
     
   Khantu : Yes, VR experience is as good as real but it is all programmed. In reality you may come across unknown things and different situations. Isn’t it exciting to tackle unexpected situation? 
     
   Boy:  Could be. 
     
   Khantu : We will have VR based training program to know more about Vasu for two days before departing. Thanks you for joining this program. 
     
   
   
   
   Act1, Scene 2 
     
   Narrator : After program introduction session Huha and her friends Etma and Itka went to have social drink Izzma. While having Izzma with Sorogoti (A favourite breakfast in Zazu) 
     
   Etma : I don’t want to visit planet. I had visited such planet using virtual reality in earlier school days. It will be a boring. 
     
   Huha : My mother told me that she had great time and had interesting alien encounter in her visit to Vasu. 
     
   Etma : Are you expecting similar thing will happen with you? 
     
   Huha : Not like that, but I am expecting a good trip with lot of fun. 
     
   Etma : You can hope so, I don’t have any hopes. 
     
   Itka : I don’t know about you guys but I am going to collect lot of specimens for my project. 
     
   Etma : You are a unique specimen from Zazu itself. Why don’t you showcase yourself? 
     
   Itka:  You are such a boring person. You don’t want to do anything. 
     
   Huha : Stop boys, Etma, if you don’t want to come, you can withdraw your name from program. At least don’t discourage others. 
     
   Etma : I am not discouraging others. It just, I don’t like idea of travelling. 
     
   Itka:  Buddy, Just give a try for real world. 
     
   Huha : It would be exciting, you never know, we may have interesting encounters with aliens. 
     
   Etma : Yes, That’s interesting part. 
     
     
   
   
   
   Act1, Scene 3 
     
   Narrator : On the day of departure, 20 students and their parents who were selected for program are present near launch pad auditorium where Khantu is going to address before departing for tour. 
     
   Khantu : Good afternoon every one. As you know, we are going to visit Vasu for 120 Bantru days which is 360 Vasu days approximately a year on Vasu. We will visit several places in Vasu and other planet in that solar system. We are travelling in most advance mothership “Jakado” and will take spaceship “Lolo” for shorter journey. Some of those places under water. We have to live on our own. Our spaceship will be our home for the duration and which is equipped with enough food and other necessities. “Lolo” is capable to communicate with mother ship. Disaster management team will be available on “Jakado” to help us in case of emergency. Now Mr. Hapu is going to inform us about “Universal law for procedure to interact and communicate with alien civilization.” We have to obey those law as citizen of Bantru. Please welcome Mr. Hapu, a lawyer specialize in alien interaction. 
     
   Mr. Hapu : Hello friends, as a civilize society we have to understand and follow “Procedure to interact and communicate with alien civilization.” If alien civilization is not at par with technology and development, we are not allowed to disclose our identity nor communication allowed with them. Vasu is not at par hence you are not allowed to communicate with them. If anyone found violating law he or she will be prosecuted under law. Do you have any question? 
     
   Etma : Sir, Why we need to restrict communication with Aliens? 
     
   Mr. Hapu : Communication may lead to undesired consequences, such as Alien may try to gain our technology but they may not completely aware of usage of technology. Alien can use technology in war to destroy civilization as you may have read it in our history some of those advance technology demolished entire planets and civilizations. Natural adaptation of technology is a recommended way. 
     
   Etma : Thanks you Sir. 
         Lupta : What will happen if aliens found us or capture us? 
     
   Mr. Hapu : Special task force will rescue you or in case of great emergency you can move to stealth mode and you can escape. Till today, there were no such cases of kidnapping. 
     
   Mr. Hapu : Any other question? 
   [Silence in the room] 
     
   Mr. Hapu : Happy journey friends, Mr. Khantu is good leader and good guide. Hope he will share interesting facts about our journey to Vasu when we were young like you. He was big mischief at that time. All the very best. 
   [Place] Jakado, Mothership 
   
   
   
   Act1, Scene 4 
     
   Narrator : All students boarded the spaceship which is going to take them to mother ship “Jakado”. After reaching to mother ship, they moved into respective units and spaceship used space time curvature to reach Gruha largest planet in Vasu’s solar system and stationed mothership over there and started journey in spaceship “Lolo” in stealth mode. 
     
   Khantu : We are near to Vasu. Can you see Blue marble like planet on left hand side? It is Vasu. 
     
   Students : Yes, we can see. 
     
   Etma : My personal projectile shows it is three time smaller than Zazu. 
     
   Khantu : Yes, It is and you can see 71% of earth area covered with water hence it looks blue. 
     
   Huha : It looks like Blue marble and “Blue marble” could be more appropriate name for the planet. Why Bantru people named it as Vasu? 
     
   Khantu : Our ancestor discovered intelligent life forms on Vasu before anywhere else so that ancestor had named it Vasu means “one who flourishes life”. 
     
   Etma : Can species on Vasu make vocal sounds? 
     
   Khantu : Yes, they do. Intelligent spices, human are using highly developed vocal languages to communicate. There are thousands of languages on Vasu unlike to our planet where we speak one single language. 
     
   Huha : So many languages. It will be difficult to learn them all or do they have interpreter device for communication? 
     
   Khantu : People on Vasu don’t need to learn so many languages. There are some common languages which been used for communication. They are developing interpreter but is in very early phase. In ancient time, we do had multiple language but those were dissolved into single language over period of time. 
     
   Etma : This means after years later Vasu people may have one language. 
   
   
   
   
   
   Khantu : May be or may not be, we had big nuclear war which destroyed our planet. Only few people left so it give rise to into development of single language and single community. Not only Vasu had many languages but Vasu’s land and sea area is divided into different territory with their own government know as nations. 
     
   Huha : oh, I see. 
   [Beep… Beep… Beep… signal] 
     
   Khantu : Now we are moving near to Vasu so we have to get impersonate as human. Vasu is being called as “Earth”, or “Mother Earth” in one of the language used by humans, now real-time translator will be loaded on your temple device for most common speaking languages on earth which will help you to understand and speak native languages. Soon we are landing on Vasu’s North hemisphere country “United States of America” to see glowing inset, a fly which glows to attract other flies for mating. 
     
     
     
   
   
   
   Act1, Scene 5 
   [Place] near TENNESSEE, Great Smoky Mountains NATIONAL PARK 
   Narrator : Space ship is landing on remote place near TENNESSEE, Great Smoky Mountains NATIONAL PARK, The Great Smoky Mountains really come into full bloom during the summer months. Appalachian vistas as far as the eye can see are on display and really draw in visitors far and wide to the region. It's at this time that the surrounding East Tennessee hills are covered in a dense, lush Appalachian foliage made up of many plant and tree species unlike anywhere else in North America. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is, without a doubt, in its most vibrant state between May and September. Therefore, it's no surprise that during the months of May through August tourists flock to the area more than at any other four month period during the year. Let see How Bantru excursion team will enjoy their visit. 
     
   Khantu : Hello guys, There will be lot of humans around this place to see fire flies, most of them are American. To avoid detection, your body features are matching as Japanese people, who are from an island country in Far East corner of Vasu. If American try to contact you, you can pretend that you do not understand their language and you can say “Konichiwa” means hello in Japanese language then most of American will not try to contact you further. 
     
   Lupta : Why is it so dark here? 
     
   Khantu : it is night time in this region and is not illuminated by artificial light. 
     
   Lupta : This is so different. I hardly turn off lights in my room or elsewhere. 
     
   Etma : Do you mean that this is scary? 
     
   Lupta : Not exactly. 
     
   Etma:  This is so difficult terrain to walk and these green grass and tree are adding difficulty. 
     
   Huha : Don’t compliant Etma, it was all describe in our Vasu acquaintance VR program. I am enjoying this bumpy walk on grass. 
     
   Itka:  Actually grass is acting shock absorber, so this will not hurt us more compared to walking on stone covered terrain. 
     
   Narrator : After a small walk they started seeing a faint green light was flashing here and there, some fire flies flying all over, looks like, 
   [Following song can be sing in choir and kids can hold green LEDs and move around] 
     
   
   Festival of twinkling light 
   
     
   hot day passed in smoky wood  dusky light perishing in chancy surround  tiny winy little shiny glowing in fond  riding on cooler breeze, fairies flying around

   in pursuit of love dazzling act they deed  thus everlasting stream of lives they formed  tiny winy little shiny glowing in fond  riding on cooler breeze, fairies flying around 
     
   
   
   
     
     
     
        Lupta : I like those green light emitting insect. Those are wondering here and there. 
     
   Huha : It was great light display, I want to catch and take them to home. 
     
   Lupta : Huha, you can’t, those insects will not able to live in our planet environment. 
     
   Itma : It was cold and dark but those little creatures singing song of love. 
     
   Huha : It was so alive, the aroma of bush and wild flowers really astonishing. 
     
   Itma : We are living very unreal life. I never had such experience in VR. 
     
   Etma : I saw a firefly was eating other fire fly, Are these fire fly practise cannibals? 
     
   Khantu : No, those are other species of fire fly, who imitating the light signals of other firefly species' females to attract, kill, and eat the males. [Suddenly Khantu saw human are coming in their direction.] Hey guys humans are coming pretend your behaviour as Japanese human, remember “Konichiwa”. 
     
   One person from Humans : Hello guys, how’s fire flies? 
     
   Etma : “Konichiwa” 
     
   The Person : “Konichiwa”, Are you from Japan? My name is Tom. 
     
   Etma : “Konichiwa” 
     
   Khantu : Hello, my name is Tanaka. English very little know. Tourist to watch fire flies, we saw many fire flies and those are lovely. 
     
   Tom : Oh, enjoy sightseeing. 
     
   Khantu : Thank you, you can see more on right. 
     
   Tom : Thanks, “Sayonara”, Bye... Bye... 
     
   Khantu : Bye... Bye... 
   [ All humans move ahead to see fire flies. Now Tom is out of sight of Japanese people. Tom started talking with James.] 
     
   Tom : Weird, there are good places in Japan for fire fly watching. When I was in Japan, I went to Torikawa village to see fire flies. Those Japanese may came to visit some other places and might have herd of this. 
     
   James : Oh, it is weird but not unusual. 
     
   Narrator : Bantru excretion team starts walking towards their hidden ship, the team looked amaze by natural surroundings. Some of them speechless. 
     
   Khantu : As I told you if you pretend as Japanese person, you can avoid too many questions. 
     
   Etma : oh, that was close. 
     
   Khantu : Now, we will move back to our mothership “Jakado” to create report for today’s observation. Our next venture would be near South Pole of Vasu. Very cold place and winter over there. 
     
   Huha : There were lot of trees and ponds. 
     
   Itma : Trees does photosynthesis to produce their own food and consumed by other animals. 
     
   Huha : the place was surrounded by mist. There were some trees living hand in hand. 
     
   Itma : Here life depends on each other. 
     
   Lupta : In ancient time we had Trees on our planet but eventual we lost, probably we lost sense of living together. 
     
   Khantu : We lost animals and trees and associated food chain with it. Now we consumed food by artificial means by tissue culture. 
     
   
   
   
   Act2, Scene 1 
   [Place] Antarctica, a snow covered land with chilling cold. 
     
     
   Narrator : Bantru excretion team starts their journey to Antarctica, A land of abounded with snow. Team reached in freezing Winter of Antarctica. 
     
   Itka : This looks more like most of our planet Zazu, cold and covered with snow. But I can’t see sun light. Is it a night here? 
     
   Khantu : No, It is a day, a winter day. Vasu rotates with an angle so for six month in a year is dark night, 24 hour night and remaining six months sun does not set so 24 hour day. 
     
   Etma : freezing cold, my temperature monitoring system is showing -54C. 
     
   Khantu : Yes, Antarctica is Vasu's southernmost continent. Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km (1.2 mi; 6,200 ft) in thickness. It is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and has the highest average elevation of all the continents on Vasu. 
     
   Etma : So it mean we are here almost in peak of winter. But why we are here? I can’t see anything interesting. 
     
   Khantu : There are some birds which lives in such harsh winter named as Penguins. These birds cannot fly but they can swim in sea around Antarctica. Penguin’s primary diet is fish. 
     
   Etma : What they are doing in interior of Antarctica? For fish eating creatures usually prefers costal area. 
        Khantu : Interior of Antarctica is their breeding ground. They are here to hatch their eggs in such terrible cold. 
     
   Lupta : Interesting, I want to know more about it. 
     
   [They walk further and seeing penguins.] 
     
   Khantu : [Pointing his finger.] These are Emperor penguins, after laying the eggs, the mother's nutritional reserves are exhausted and she very carefully transfers the egg to the male, before immediately returning to the sea for two months to feed. The transfer of the egg can be awkward and difficult, and many couples drop the egg in the process. When this happens, the chick inside is quickly lost, as the egg cannot withstand the freezing temperatures on the icy ground. The male spends the dark winter incubating the egg in his brood pouch, balancing it on the tops of his feet, for 64 consecutive days until hatching. By the time the egg hatches, the male will have fasted for around 115 days since arriving at the colony. To survive the cold and winds of up to 200 km/h (120 mph), the males huddle together, taking turns in the middle of the huddle. They have also been observed with their backs to the wind to conserve body heat.

   [All of them are speechless while watching penguins.] 
     
     
   Narrator : They are going back to their spaceship “LoLo”, which was parked near cost which is a warm abode for team to rest and travel back. 
     
   Khantu : No place on Vasu compares to this vast white wilderness of snow, ice, water, rock. Antarctica is simply marvellous. 
     
   Huha : I am speechless, I am really speechless. How can a species work so hard to survive? 
     
   Khantu : Surviving is ultimate thing for living creatures. Their living was not just for survival but there are rejoicing in company of each other. 
     
   Etma : I think, their love of their kids encouraging them to fight cold and snow. 
     
   Khantu : In our next trip to Vasu, we will see joy of togetherness. But now we will visit some other planets to understand different environment. A planet like Ituna which is near to Vasu and having similar features as Vasu but there is no life on that planet. 
     
   Etma : When will be our next Vasu trip? 
     
   Khantu : After three Vasu Months. 
     
   Etma : That’s long time. 
     
   Khantu : Yes, but our next visit to see flying in unison 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Act2, Scene 2 
   
   
   
   [Place] Sacramento River, Sacramento, California, USA 
     
     
   Narrator : Bantru excursion team starts their journey to Sacramento, California to see flying starling in unison. Group is playing old trick and impersonated as Japanese to assimilate. The autumn was over the air is filled with essence of passing fall. 
     
   Huha:  Even though it is a day still is getting cold here. 
     
   Khantu : Winter, a cold season is started in north hemisphere of Vasu. 
     
   Etma:  I can’t see any animal in this fields. This does not look like forest to me. 
     
   Khantu : Yes, it is not forest and is 4:30 o’clock after noon. Soon starling, small birds will start murmuration, flying in unison to make different patterns in sky. Hundreds of birds will gather, this will be amazing sight. Throughout the northern hemisphere on Vasu, the dark cold months between November and February are the time when European starlings,  come together every evening into large flocks known as "murmuration". Prior to settling in to their chosen communal sleeping place for the night, these birds perform a series of intricate aerial manoeuvres, where the flock repeatedly circles, and changes shape and density above their roost site for roughly half an hour at dusk. These birds are native to the UK and Europe, and were introduced by humans throughout much of the world. 
   
   
   
   
   Flying in unison

   Each differing step motivates new wholeness   courage to transform near distress  take that one step trust knowing all steps  unveiling their blazing dance in twilight 
     
   Look at the starlings once more time  find how spirited forms shaped in bond  verge in time captivate the starling's miracle  unveiling their blazing dance in twilight 
   
   
   
   
     
   
   
   
   Khantu : [Suddenly Khantu saw human are walking towards him.] Guys humans are coming in our direction behave like Japanese, don’t forget “Konichiwa”. 
     
   One person from Humans : Hello, today’s starling’s exhibition was awesome. 
     
   Etma : Yes, “Konichiwa” 
     
   The Person : “Konichiwa”, Are you from Japan? I think we mate before in Great Smoky Mountains. 
     
   Khantu : Oh, yes, we have met before. 
     
   James : Are you following me? 
     
   Khantu : No, No, We are here to enjoy the murmuring. 
     
   Etma:  I hope, you are not following us. 
     
   [Khantu interrupted in between and says] 
     
   Khantu : No one is following no one. 
     
   James : This looks like extended trip for you, I saw you in summer and this is almost winter. 
     
   Khantu : No, We came back. 
     
   [ Huha speaks with Etma in Bantru language.] 
     
   Etma : Says “Konichiwa” [To remind Huha to speak in Japanese]. 
     
   James : I know little bit of Japanese but your languages seems very different. 
     
   Khantu : No, no nothing like that. We have to leave now, it is time to say good bye. 
     
   James : Bye bye, “sayonara” 
   [Bantru excursion group left the place.] 
     
   James : John, this group is weird and their language is not Japanese at all. 
     
   John : Could be Korean, they may want to hide their identity. 
     
   James : Yea May be. 
   
   
   
   
   Next day 
   
     
   James saw news that there was UFO spotting in California near Sacramento River where they went to see starlings. 
   [ James is member of alien hunting society, he opens his mobile starts doing something. Tom saw that.] 
     
   James : [Read out in loud] UFO spotting in California near Sacramento River. 
     
   John : ridiculous, just to gain attention, media shows such things. 
     
   James : No, in this case, these is some truth. 
     
   John : How can you think so? 
     
   James : There are couple of things, first periodical UFO spotting reported from Sacramento during this time for last few years and second those weird Japanese peoples. 
   [James was using his smart phone to do something.] 
     
   John:  What are you doing? 
     
   James : I raised an alarm for weird encounter in Alien Hunter App. 
     
   John : Are you suspecting those Japanese were aliens? 
     
   James : No, just in case 
     
   John : But, Why are those Alien watching starlings? 
     
   James : Could be a tourism. 
     
   John : Oh. Those aliens may had been visiting the same place in the past as regular tourist program. And periodical UFO spotting is connecting to hypothesis. 
     
   James : Yup, I am thinking on similar lines. 
     
   
   
   
   Act2, Scene 3 
   
   
   
   [Place] Hokkaido Island, Japan 
    Narrator : After few months, team travelled to Hokkaido, Japan. Hokkaido in winter is truly sorcerous by the astonishing beauty of this stark land Hokkaido, here is a harmony of natural forms. Bantu team is visiting Hokkaido to experience such harmony. 
     
   Khantu : Things are getting difficult after successive meeting with James, now we need to pay extra attention to avoid mistakes. This time we will act as people from France a nation on Vasu. Also we will pretend that we are here to capture a documentary on crane dance. 
     
   Etma : I hope, we will not grab extra attention. 
     
   Huha : But, Why not Japanese? 
     
   Etma : Impersonating as Japanese in Japan will be more vulnerable. 
    [As they are imitating crew to capture documentary. A Japanese person came forward to meet them.] 
        Japanese : Konichiwa, Hello 
     
   Khantu : bonjour, bonjour 
     
   Japanese : My name is Kaminaga, Are you French? 
     
   Khantu : Yes, know little bit English and no Japanese. 
     
   Kaminaga : Sorry I don’t know French. Sumimasen 
     
    [The Japanese guy left, Khantu feel relieved. After some time the Japanese person comes back and starts conversation. ] 
   
   
   
   Kaminaga : This is Tanaka san, He is good in French. 
     
   Tanaka : bonjour, je m'appelle Tanaka (My name is Tanaka) 
     
   Khantu : bonn jour, Je m'appelle Nathan 
   [Khantu started feeling nervous as he don’t want to carry on conversation.] 
   
   
   
   Tanaka : (In French) do you have permission to film the documentary? 
     
   Khantu : (In French) No, We are going to take permission, today we are here to just see crane dance and to plan our shoot which will be after couple of days. 
     
   Tanaka : (In French) No worries, before proceeding to shooting you have to show permission paper to authority Kaminaga san. 
     
   Khantu : Sure. 
     
   Kaminaga and Tanaka left where team was standing. 
        Tanaka : I suspect, those tourist are not French. The person was not able to speak properly.  
   Kaminaga : They don’t have license with them, film maker usually carry shooting license. Few years’ back French people came here with license. 
     
   Tanaka : let me investigate it more. Probably, those guys are amateur film makers. 
     
   Kaminaga : Yea, it can be possibility. 
   [Tanaka stands there keeping some distance from team with careful eye on their activity.] 
     
   Etma : Those cranes are beautiful. 
     
   Khantu : Look over there a snow-covered field, two cranes raising their heads toward the sky, and call in unison. As they call, the pair begins to dance. The Red-crowned Cranes' unison dance is a ritual the pair will perform together many times over the years, to strengthen their lifelong bond. In Japanese tradition, the beloved crane is said to live 1,000 years and symbolizes longevity and they believes that folding a thousand cranes will fulfil your heart's desire.

   Khantu : Once upon a time, there lived an elderly couple in a certain place. On a snowy day in winter, the old man was going to town to sell firewood, when he found a crane that was caught in a hunter's trap. Feeling sorry, he released the bird from the trap. That night while the snow fell violently, a beautiful girl came to the couple's house. According to her explanation, ever since her parents died, she had been traveling between relatives she had never met before, when she got lost and as a result would like to stay for one night. The couple heartily welcomed her into their home. The snow had not quite stopped the next day, and the day after that, as the girl remained in the house of the elderly couple. Meanwhile, the girl tirelessly took care of the couple, making them happy. One day, the girl asked the couple, instead of sending her off to meet relatives she had never met before, to please make her their daughter. The elderly couple was delighted to accept. 
     
   As she continued to help the old couple, one day she requested: "I would like to weave a cloth, so please buy me yarn". When she was handed the purchased yarn, she stated: "Please don't ever look in the room." to the couple; then hid in the room, and wove for three days straight without a break. "Sell this, and buy me more yarn", she told the couple. The cloth was very beautiful, and became the talk of the town immediately, and sold for a good price. With the new thread that was bought with the new money, their daughter wove another fabric with stunning workmanship, selling at a higher price and making the elderly couple wealthy. 
   However, when she confined herself to the room to weave a third piece, while the couple persevered in keeping the promise at first, they began to wonder how she wove such beautiful cloth. Unable to fight curiosity, the old lady took a peek inside. Where there should have been a girl was a crane. The crane plucked its own feathers to weave between the threads to produce a glittering cloth. Large portions of the wing had already been plucked out, leaving the crane in a pitiful state. In front of the shocked elderly couple, the daughter who finished weaving approached them, confessing that she was the crane that was saved. While she had intended to remain their daughter, she had to leave, as her true identity has been discovered. She turned back into a crane and flew into the sky, leaving behind the remorseful elderly couple.
