Cedar tea is well-known as a relaxant and calmative in northern North America (although certain types/strengths can be dangerous to women of childbearing age). It may be as simple as that…

“how come the planet’s inhabitants are human?”

Um, perhaps because it’ll turn out that the Nelson drive is a *dimensional* drive, not a spatial one (or not *just* a spatial one)? I think it’s pretty clear that the Pathfinder and the Galaxion have been transported to a different version of Earth. I also think that Zan has a pretty good idea that this is what has happened – and perhaps the Admiral as well.

…what if the invasion was by this universe’s version of the Myradi? Or, in fact, any alien that might exist in the original universe. That would make it imperative for the Galaxion to get back home with a warning…

Still waiting on clarification for that- the invaders could have been like parasites that just took over.
I’m also wondering exactly what BENEFICIAL means when he described that tea….

They could be human, but not human. Life doesn’t have to exactly duplicate us to get “humanoid” creatures.

Finally, the start of an explanation! About bloody time. Keep at it. And BTW, how come the planet’s inhabitants are human? Less tea sippin’, more ‘splainin’.

An invasion from outer space? Well that was unexpected, guess first contact went differently here!
