Jasmine: the Quest for Lugorma Mr Jack Mcdonald

Publisher Marketing: How much do we know about our Universe? Is it really conceivable to think that life doesn't exist in the far reaches of outer space? Perhaps there are beings elsewhere wondering what lies beyond the stars? Or perhaps they have already acquired the knowledge to shorten those dreams? As far as we know, aliens could be walking among us. We've heard stories of people who've sworn they've seen UFO's and extraterrestrials. However, they are such a small percentage to have much validity in the real world. We will agree that our Universe is vast: Infinitudes of celestial delights. Even the Milky Way is so vast that it will create multitudes of unanswered questions: Many never to be known. With our technology however, it is easy to assume those things we do not know, don't exist. So was the case for Lugormians at one point in their lives. For them, the Uquinlyga Galaxy was all they knew. Life outside was never a factor. When they were forced to flee their galaxy however, they adopted whole other attitudes. Scientists assured refugees that another galaxy existed far beyond the other side of their Sun where they could relocate. For them, Scientists were always right. The Uquinlyga Galaxy was under siege. Refugees only cared about getting as far away as possible. The assurance they got from Scientists told them that they would be safe. Jasmine trusted her Scientists religiously. With the responsibility of getting her people to a safe port, she had to trust her feelings. Looking at the way things have turned out, she wasn't so sure if her feelings was the best source to tap. Jasmine heard many tales of other galaxies to be inhabited in the outer reaches of space. It was very much a part of her training. She never thought the need would come for her to put it to the test. Five years later is not the time to start second-guessing, however. Hindsight is all that is available to most people. All Jasmine could do was hope everything would pan out instead of looking more and more like a dumb decision made by an adolescent.
