I'm not what you think I am

Maria Wenton has made a program for the Aliens in another solar system, that she is half related to. As a half-Ayorthian, she requested that our government start a program that lets Ayorthians live on Earth without worrying about humans trying to capture them. She pressed further,and now she and Ricky Jones head the Earth To Ayorthia Contact System (E.T.A.C.S.) and have started to run a mission that seven humans and one Ayorthian participate in.
The first Ayorthian picked is Marias own cousin, Nikkole Smith. This is her story.
