While waiting for repairs, the Reptai queen on board sends her daughter to the local school to scope out whether the rumors she's heard are true: that humans are intolerant of differences and use their technology to bully others. Will the students at Galaxia Elementary treat Princess Komodo with respect despite her tail and webbed fingers?
