At the house in Forks a blue-haired man opens the door and says in adequate English - "Ah. Hello."

"- hi! Welcome to Earth!"

"Thank you! I'm Isilme Asa. Can I help you?"

"I'm Plum Kaepernick with Celestial News and I'd just love to sit down with you and any other Amentans who are available right now and have a chat!"

"Not too many of us have picked up a local language but I'd be happy to talk with you! Come on in."

In goes Plum Kaepernick, looking around in fascination.

They've remodeled to move people through it more easily but it's not a sparkling example of Amentan interior decorating or anything. Colorful-haired people wave. Blue pulls out two chairs.

And she has questions! "So when did you all get here?"

"They figured out how to do this a few of your months ago, but we only arrived today ourselves."

"How is it done?"

"I'm afraid I have no idea on the technical end. They're keeping it quiet because if daeva figured it out that would be very disruptive. I was assured that's not currently possible."

"Are you willing to share with humans?"

"I think we'd eventually be delighted to do that but once the daeva security concerns are handled more thoroughly than through secrecy."

"I can turn my recording devices off and we could go for a walk, if you like."

"The folks in the government who figured it out haven't told the rest of us the technical side either. I can tell you what it looked like, we just walked through a door and then they closed it and opened it again on this place."

"What was in the middle?"

"Big room with stars out the window, hardwood floor. Fit a hundred people pretty comfortably, quiet, not our architecture."

"Was it somebody else's architecture?"

"It wasn't Amentan. There are lots and lots of aliens in our world, if it was one of theirs I really wouldn't know."

"We've noticed that there are lots! We don't have those here till you came, unless you count daeva, what's it like?"

"We didn't know about them until very recently! It's all so exciting! We're delaying launching our first ship with warp until we're ready to get everyone's attention - they have a policy to ignore civilizations which haven't developed it -"

"We noticed that, those would be our, uh, counterparts. Do you know why we have counterparts?"

"I have no idea at all. This is all awfully strange."

"How'd you wind up on this excursion?"

"So ever since we discovered how populated our universe is, we've been wringing our hands over what to do about daeva. - because, see, if we teach everyone, then there'll be more summonses than there are daeva, all the time, and very long waits to get one..."
