“Kasdhf;ivnioSryaehdthhr.” I stared at the trembling human teenager, feeling obvious disdain for this clumsy two-eyed, two-legged creature. My translator buzzed weakly, barely decoding their rough, simple language.
Minutes earlier, I had been drifting in boring dark space. All I ever saw were lifeless asteroids and cold gas giants. I was about to turn off my sensor out of boredom when a special planet caught my eye: a strange sphere covered with bright blue oceans and fresh green land.
I flew closer with arrogant curiosity. Shining blue oceans covered nearly half the planet, and green lands spread across its surface. White clouds drifted slowly in the sky. Unlike our cold, metal home planet, this planet was warm and full of active life.
I contacted my partner Zex through a crackling channel in a flat mechanical voice.

Right then, Zex’s urgent voice cut through the noise.
“Run! Human soldiers are coming. They will catch you for experiments.” I felt annoyed. I had underestimated these primitive creatures. My ship was broken, and I was trapped…
