   The people on rec.arts.sf.written play a game called YASID -- Yet   
   Another Story Identification.  Post there, with the subject line of   
   "YASID:"  followed by the details most likely to attract the attention   
   of a person who knows the answer.   
      
   In this case, "YASID:  GLBs rescue space explorer" might do the job.   
   (GLB is a common abbreviation for "god-like being".   
      
   Do not under any circumstances say "Sci Fi".  It will start an   
   entirely irrelevant thread.   
      
   Mention any detail you can remember, however trivial it may seem to   
   you.
