Jan 26, 2021, New Release, Black and White from Artifactsofmars. Aliens on a distant planet receive the broadcast of the 1953 version of War of the Worlds, and mistake it for a real attack on the earth from Mars. An altruistic, friendly race, they dispatch ships to investigate if the Earth needs help, fully aware that the timeline is about 300 Earth years in the past. After their ships are intercepted by the USS Saratoga, ironically carrying the first Martian to serve on a Federation star ship, the Saratoga captain explains to them their mistake. They then invite the Saratoga to visit their planet, where bizarre vegetation soaks up most visible light and the crew finds evidence of fires burning deep within the planet. The Saratoga must extinguish the flames or the benevolent race may be scalded to death by escaping steam and water.
