Introduction

I'd like to tell you a story about a friend of mine. Doctor Glycine.
Doctor Glycine is a veterinarian, or 'vet', that means he is a doctor that takes care of animals.
He lives inside a humongous space colony going around a star very far away.
The animals he takes care of are pets of all the people in the colony.
There are all kinds of weird animals from hundreds of different planets.
They are Space Pets.
He is a Space Pet Vet.

Doctor Glycine is an android.
An android is a special kind of robot that looks like a human.
Androids are very nice, and very smart.
Doctor Glycine does a good job of helping animals when they get sick or hurt.
