Petaybee was growing up. Daily the sentient world was understanding how to acknowledge and understand this is of outdoors stimuli, to react to those stimuli, to converse its own desires and needs...even to work with human speech. But few outsiders truly cared for the emotions and brains of what they identified to be a massive hunk of rock or a mere oddity to be gawked at. Some emerged to worship the recently awakened spirit. Some emerged by invitation, but without understanding, to harvest the almost magically curative native plants. Big game hunters emerged chasing rumors of fantastical animals that simply offered themselves up for the getting rid of. And tourists emerged in droves, many of them searching for long-lost family who had relocated to Petaybee during its colonization phase. The Petaybeans had their hands full striving to protect their beloved world from the rapid influx of site visitors. Then some of Petaybee's staunchest champions - Yanaba Maddock, Marmion de Revers Algemeine, Bunny Rourke, and Diego Metaxos - were kidnapped. The perpetrators wanted Petaybee because of its incredible mineral riches and were determined to push the Petaybeans to produce a trade: the earth for individuals. They simply didn't understand that such a bargain was impossible. For the only person who could speak for Petaybee was Petaybee itself - and no-one knew what a living world could do once it found its tone of voice.
