==Biography==
=== Early life ===
Tim Korey was a businessman in his home galaxy in the 23rd century, by his species' standards. By the time he was an adult, he came to own a small freight company, and his own starship.
=== I Landed on the Forbidden Planet! ===
Tim Korey eventually grew fascinated with the unexplored regions of space, as his galaxy had many worlds that were not yet explored, and soon discovered the mysterious "forbidden planet" that resided outside his home galaxy. Becoming interested in exploring it, he first tried to find information on the planet from his species' government, specifically the archives of the Bureau of Planets, but only found warnings, also discovering that no one else shared his interest and that all records of a previous flight to the planet were lost. Overcome by his curiosity to know why the planet was forbidden, he decided to go alone, registering his flight as a business trip to not arouse suspicion, and took off towards the forbidden planet.
He managed to land on its surface near what he believed to be a dense jungle. While he first found the environment to be pleasant, and habitable, he then heard a giant machine coming towards him, and looked back in time to narrowly dodge what appeared to be a giant wheel, and then dodged a number of massive blocks falling from the sky. Thinking that it must be some sort of planetary defense system, Tim entered the supposed jungle for protection, jumping onto an ant large enough for him to ride, which carried him off deeper into the foliage. He jumped off the insect just as an even larger spider attacked it, and was then forced to fight a giant wasp, only to find that its size rendered his ray gun almost completely ineffective against it, even at its strongest setting.
Realizing how dangerous the planet was, Tim barely managed to fend the wasp off with his gun, as it was still able to stun it, and managed to retrace the ant's steps, returning to his ship, only to find that a giant caterpillar had wrapped itself around it. The caterpillar quickly moved to attack Tim, who knew a creature that massive would be completely impervious to his ray gun, only for bird that dwarfed all the insects he had come across to swoop down and eat the caterpillar. Not waiting for anything else to surprise him, Tim hopped into his ship and immediately took off, recognizing why the planet was forbidden. As he was in a rush to leave, he didn't see that the "jungle" he had been in was just a patch of grass, and that the giant wheel and blocks were mere bricks and a wheelbarrow that a man was moving, unaware of Tim's presence. As Tim returned to his home galaxy, he was grateful that despite its close proximity, the galaxy was too small for the inhabitants of the forbidden planet, Earth, to ever see, dreading the possibility of the Earthlings ever discovering it.
