I came back into the ship with a rock from the surface to
find an alien looking at the computer. I dropped the container, causing the
alien to spin around.
After a moment, it reached out and knocked twice on the
table. “Blorancia”, I think it said.
Table? Two? Knocking?
I went to the display and pointed at the map. “Earth”, I
tried.
But maybe I said round, or blue, or even display monitor, far
as it could know.
We both reached for the rock, forgetting it was extremely
hot.
“Ouch!” “Gronak!”
It wasn’t much, but it was a start.
