In The Voice of the Elders Rohini Haakonsen is requested as a young ambassador on a mission trip to another planet. The Elders want to telepathically teach the young UN students about how to protect the earth since they had to learn the hard way on their own planet.

Rohini had worked hard to get where she was, but she had never imagined her first day in the Youth Assembly, a program focused on the development of sustainable energy, would go quite the way it did. Just as the session started, aliens appeared, and delivered a message of hope, and requested ambassadors to accompany them back to their home world when they return. They asked for recommendations, but these aliens, known as The Elders, had their own delegates in mind, and Rohini is amongst them.
