They circle the planet and look at the architecture. They are somewhat disappointed.
"Maybe the aliens think they're pretty," someone says dubiously.
"No," someone else says. "Some things are universal."
"Maybe the aliens are all blind."

This place has a lovely large statue-garden-monument thing that Elves would not go out of their way to avoid if it were in Tirion, though they'd probably walk through it quickly. They go for that one.

Someone arranges that.
Defendant claims that a group of two greys and 5-7 purples came to harass her because she was caught on video taking an Elf home. Claims they threatened her and demanded she approach them. Claims she did not walk away because she feared the greys had guns, which one did. Claims she sent her daughter away and approached them as asked, and that they dragged her over the fence into the forest and raped her, then arrested her for trespassing. No doctor obviously but they've got some kind of medical red who filled out rape and excessive-use-of-force complaints with medical information consistent with the story.

He feels vaguely weird about holding her so tightly but it'd obviously be much worse to push her away. Singing's good. He can do singing.
Eventually her lawyer sends her ID pictures for all forty thousand purples in the city who vaguely match the given descriptions (computer-filtered, not by hand).
"Yeah, doesn't seem super helpful. There should be, like, a program to compare two faces and say which one looks more like the target person and then it filters until you get ones who bear a closer semblance - though with that many people you'd get some lookalikes -
- I bet Huan could find them -"
