New Species
Two scientists, Tom and Sue, are on there way to work.
Tom -
I’ve got a good feeling about today.
Sue -
Oh yeah? Why’s that?
Tom -
Not sure I just feel as if today will be a day to remember.
Sue -
Well I’d hope so, we’ve been way behind this month. Larry and Bonita are totally crushing us, not to mention any of our other co-workers.
Tom -
Yeah your right, we haven’t had a discovery in months.
Tom veers the vehicle to the right
Sue -
Careful!
Tom -
Woah! Didn’t see that coming!
Sue -
That rock almost crushed us! Just pay attention.
Tom -
Sorry Sue, my bad…. Hey what’s that over there?
Sue -
Looks like we got ourselves a new discovery.
Tom maneuvers the vehicle over to a huge floating sphere.
Sue -
Lets have a closer look shall we
They move in until they can see closely.
Tom -
This really could be our big discovery; and it looks as if something has built some sort of structures!
Sue -
And these things live in this conglomerate housing zones when there is so much more room everywhere else. Although they do seem to be a high performance species…
Tom -
We will have to set up some cameras to capture some footage of how they live.
Sue -
One step ahead of ya Tom.
Sue grabs a few cameras and goes around the habitat area setting them up before returning to the vehicle.
Tom -
I would love to stay but we should go report our discovery. We will return as soon as possible and study the footage.
Sue -
Sounds like a plan
A few days later Tom is moving between different scientific instruments in their laboratory as Sue with the cameras.
Tom -
You got the footage? (as he turns and walks towards Sue)
Sue -
Yeah, just gathered it all up. We got about 2 weeks of footage here (she sets down her load of cameras, Tom then takes tapes out of the cameras and hooks it up to a monitor).
Tom -
Intriguing… (as they watch the tapes of the unknown species)
Sue -
Yes, indeed.
Tom -
Like I said, this is our big discovery.
Sue -
I didn’t think it would be like this though, these things are very…. funny looking.
Tom -
I agree their bodies are sort of… weird… abdomen and external limbs are in peculiar placement
Sue -
Indeed. Must be why they move so slowly. They also seem to be one of the most oblivious high performance species, I’d say.
Tom -
I’ll second that. They don’t even seem to have noticed our set up, or for that matter they don’t even seem to notice we were there at all.
Sue -
Odd…
(They walk around the lab and switch between using different instruments while keeping their eyes on the monitor) Counter-Productive…
Tom -
Huh? What was that?
Sue -
This species seems counter productive in the way they interact.
Tom -
Ahh yes, I’ve notice the same thing. It’s as if they are destroying each other with every interaction. Not all of them, but most of them.
Sue -
I wonder why that is… interestingly enough though, they still tolerate each other.
Tom -
They have to in order to survive! It’s called reproduction, simply put.
Sue -
I think if we want to really learn about this species we should bring one in for testing.
Tom -
Good idea
They walk over to the front seats (as the lab is in the back of the vehicle), return to the habitat area, hover over a park, flip a switch, suck a man into their UFO, and fly off.
