Steal Across the Sky

The aliens appeared one day, built a base on the moon, and put an ad on the internet: "We are an alien race you may call the Atoners.#xA0;Ten thousand years ago we wronged humanity profoundly.#xA0; We cannot undo what has been done, but we wish humanity to understand it.#xA0; Therefore we request twenty-one volunteers to visit seven planets to Witness for us.#xA0; We will convey each volunteer there and back in complete safety.#xA0;#xA0;Volunteers must speak English.#xA0;Send requests for electronic applications to witness@Atoners.com." At first, everyone thought it was a joke.#xA0; But it wasn't. This is the story of three of those volunteers, and what they found on Kular A and Kular B.
