experiencing all the sights and sounds for himself.

dose of radiation. Although he survived, the radiation had a lasting effect on his
body. Over time, he developed a condition that caused him to lose control of his
muscles. He became paralyzed and could no longer walk or move without
assistance.

Fearing for his son's safety, Orion's father made the difficult decision to keep

fulfill his dream of visiting Earth and living among humans.
