Final Terran study report v1.5
HUMANS have proven to be a very fruitful area of study. The wealth of data I accumulated on this planet can not be calculated. The information contained forthwith has come at incredible cost, and I pay gladly. It will be difficult to concentrate all of the knowledge I have gained into so few words, but I have no time to go into great detail.
FOR the purpose of being as close to my subjects of study as possible, I underwent radical genome reprocessing and had a series of mutative injections, as well as radioactive surgery. There has never been a body augmentation quite like mine. I became, down to the molecular level, totally human. After a relatively graceful recovery, the first thing I noticed was a rather disturbing shift in my senses. I gained some and lost others, most noticeably I could no longer smell the subtle pheromones and chem-signals that we rely on so heavily. I could however hear a much wider spectrum of sounds and see a almost completely different spectrum of light. You can not imagine the incessant clicking and humming that pervades the Cluster. It is enough to put one on one’s last leg, of which I have only two.
MY new, frail form was loaded into a protective shell and launched toward the mysterious new planet. Born again, I split the sky! I landed quite harshly in a body of water near a concentrated habitat of Terrans, known to them as ‘Cities’. The shell stopped spinning, and I perceived a gentle swaying motion. I deemed it safe to emerge.
SO I emerged, and it was glorious. At first I thought some misfortune had caused me to lose my newly gained sight, and I was afraid. The fear did not last long, as I became orientated I looked upward and saw the stars. They struck me with a sense of divine awe. I experienced a uniquely human sensation then: fatigue. I curled down back into my entry shell, and I slept for the first time in my existence.
I awoke to a searing light. Fearing for my eyes, I partially closed the flaps of skin covering them until I adjusted. This task being done, I took stock of my surrounding. The most obvious thing was the star of this planet, being the source of said searing light, was obstinately visible in the sky. It is a bright yellow thing, and I could not look at it directly. I then noted that I had made landfall. I took one small step, and felt the gravel beneath my vulnerable feet.
I walked a short distance until I came to a barrier, a great white bulkhead jutting suddenly from the ground. I passed this barrier by walking along it until I found a series of horizontal metal bars arranged laterally all the way to the top of the structure. I climbed.
ing… god. I done writ myself into a corner. OH WELL LOL>
