Some blues and more yellows are going in and out.

Permalink

Is anyone speaking Oahkar?

Permalink

Not near the entrance.

Permalink

And if they fly around invisibly inside?

Permalink

If they go in an elevator and check out more floors they can find some people talking in Oahkar, yes. Extradition updates with Met.

Permalink

They will politely wait until the meeting is over.

Permalink

Blues and yellows flow out of the meeting after about an hour and a half of arguing with Met over whether it's really that much of an improvement to kill people's relatives and no they definitely can't have anyone's Tapai relatives.

Permalink

And then they can be confronted with two suddenly-visible aliens!

Permalink

A yellow screams and passes out. A blue catches him.

Permalink

"...Sorry."

Permalink

"We landed on this planet by accident somewhere Oahkar-speaking and learned the language and investigated what problems this world has and we would like to help with your food shortage problem and ideally help the war end sooner and we can't immediately solve the density problem but we're working on it."

Permalink

"...uh -"

"This way," says a blue, and he leads them to the elevators.

Permalink

They will follow.

Permalink

"What are your names?" he asks.

Permalink

"I'm Odette Zavier and this is my sister Illia."

Permalink

"Pleased to meet you. I'm foreign relations coordinator Soptan Entaf."

Permalink

"Pleased to meet you. Is the fellow who fainted going to be alright?"

Permalink

"Just easily startled, should be all right once he's had some water and a snack."

Permalink

"Good."

Permalink

Off the elevator. "What's your method of addressing the food shortage?"

Permalink

"I can make plants grow really really fast Like, multiple years' harvest in the space of a few days fast. Doing it over a bunch of large farms would be tedious and painful but this seems worthwhile when people are starving and dying in warfare."

Permalink

"- can you also harvest it or will the purples need to do that part?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure, we have less advanced agricultural technology at home--we're fantasy aliens, not sci-fi aliens."

Permalink

"...useful clarification. Where are you from?" he asks.

Permalink

"We don't know if you know where our star is--we call our planet <Earth>."
