Assessing Emotions

322 years old, Tren Ravvo was a Protector. They were not the original race to inhabit Callahar; the First Ones died from a deadly disease over 6,000 years earlier. The First Ones knew that the end was near and built the Synthetics who evolved several time during that time. Tren and other Protectors like himself were assigned to protect the 143 Callaharan Assessment Engineers, for which his son, Kenjok, was a part. Every 50 years, they would arrive and reassess the life, art, technology and the social structure of the Earth and 3 other human-type worlds to enhance their own society. However, the Callaharans lived without emotion. On his own, Tren became a Good Samaritan when he rescued 28 years old Tristan Hall from a serious traffic accident. He did not understand her emotional gratitude; he told her that it was expected that he rescue her. It was not as difficult for him to understand the human experience as it was for Kenjok. Follow Tren and Kenjok as they discover what it like to learn emotion.
