During 1977 USA launched mission voyager, accomplished by space probe Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2. The Voyager 1 probe is currently the farthest human-made object from Earth. Both probes carry with them a golden record which contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, together with explanation diagram how to play the record and detailed location data. The aim of the record is to give a message to an alien or а distant future human civilization, if founded.
‘’ This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.’’
Meet Booba – the only the only citizen of star AC+793888 in the Ophiuchus constellation, 17.6 light – years away from the Solar System. Being at the right place at the right time can sometimes open up a whole new world in front of you, or at least that’s what happened when Booba stumbled on the shiny , yellow disk in outer space. Strange things get thrown away, Booba thought. Something about this object made it look important. Important enough to take the time and effort to decipher the code. And oh, the images and sounds that poured out of it made Booba’s little heart skip a beat! The lone inhabitant of AC+793888 always knew deep inside there was someone else out there in the vast sky. Booba could not be alone in the whole Universe! This was a call, and Booba was ready to respond!
New York City, 2000
As Booba set off on its journey, battling against the rush of solar winds and the string of stardust, a clue from the capsule repeated in its head, steering at it:
‘’Go go
Go Johnny go
Go.’’
Armed with the knowledge and emotional charge of every sound and image from the record, Booba arrives in the City of Dreams to establish contact with the human race. On Booba’s quest through the mean streets of one of the biggest center of human civilization at the time of visit – The Big Apple, Booba crossed path with different characters, one of which is Karl – a small time hustler and a Karl Lagerfeld wanna-be with a soft spot who, touched by the extraterrestrial’s story (but mainly in a moment of boredom) decides to become guide to Earth and life on it. After all, his expertise made him the most logical (and only) candidate for the job, or as Karl preferred to call it – the spiritual calling.
