The other side of the wall

 The Skait
An alien race located on the edge of our solar system
Originally conducting monitoring to human movements between the earth and moon.
Trying to tap into all earth medias and decipher who and what we are.

The Skait are like a master class of hybrid aliens. Interested in understanding our capabilities. 
Now the Aliens are only interested in one thing. Music, literature and culture.

The Skait are collecting as much as possible on our cultures. They filter whatever is applicable to their civilization 500 light years away. watering down music and poetry and streaming on their own platforms.
Their aim is not to control or interfere with our civilization. The Skait mine our culture without having to take it from us physically.

Humans and our cultures have beome their opiate. Suddenly their alien peoples are flourishing again,  three collective species varying in appearances and needs. 
Our unknown influence has boosted their way of life. 
A once stagnant civilization that had reached it's peak 40,000 years ago uniting 3 separate alien races to battle off a complex fungal disease. Trade was the glue after the annihilation of the fungal disease.

They suppressed atleast one other growing alien power close to their star cluster.
without full scale war. The Skait are a tiny civiization compared to what exists in the milky way.
Yet compared to us, they are massive. Their worlds hundreds of times bigger and more sophisticated. Their dyson spheres and artificial moons, their hundreds of colonies that almost reach our solar system.
To think they only came to soak in our cultural oddities to give themselves a stronger form of curiousity, entertainment, purpose, distraction. 

Hundreds of civilizations some flamboyant, others as dull as bigoted totalitarians.
