[The four-eyed alien on the screen is excitedly typing away on her laptop with two hands, and waving two more in excited ways. Because yes, she has four hands and she is making wild gestures to punctuate each and every word she says. She is not going to stop for anything.]

I can’t believe this! Humans are everywhere, this is the most amazingly perfect opportunity! I have been studying humans, of course, but my sample size has been very limited up until now!

Let me review my notes so far- [She taps a few times on her laptop to bring up said notes, rapidly reading over them a few times before she starts talking again]

Humans are a fairly low-tech pre-spaceflight species, not many of them have made it into space! Which is such a shame, they’re a very attractive species, even though they tend to be a bit hairy and don’t have enough eyes. But I haven’t let things like that get in my way before! [She laughs loudly, then continues]

What else, what else- I wish I had my original notes here, I really did! Oh yes- humans are remarkably stubborn, prone to irrationality...and quite a violent species, too, aren’t they? They certainly do love their wars! Only two sexes too, correct? Isn’t that a shame.

I believe that’s where my data ends! I need more, much more to fill out a proper database file. And if any are up for an examination....well, I am a doctor! I need to know how to treat all of you, don’t I?

Oh, I'm so excited to start working! Tell me where I'm needed, please?

[fourscience]

Oh! No fun.

[But hey, she's laughing about it, no harm done]

Sorry! Did I come on too strongly? I know humans don't always like that.

[doubleoohbaby]

Normally I wouldn't be quite so adverse.

[But y'know, weird looking alien chick. His racism, it is showing.]

What exactly are you?

[fourscience]

[Wow James way to be space racist. Way to go.]

Oh- My goodness, I can't believe it! I did not even introduce myself! That's terribly rude, isn't it?

I am a Sa-Marad! Doctor Kinna Nananea. Call me Nananea, please.

[doubleoohbaby]

Nananea? That's quite a workout on the tongue.

[fourscience]

Other species sometimes have difficulty with Sa-Marad names.

You may call me Nana. If that is easier.

[doubleoohbaby]

Sounds too much like a grandparent. I think I'll stick to Nananea. Or Nea, perhaps.

[fourscience]

Whichever is easiest for you. I will not take offense.

What is your name, then?

[doubleoohbaby]

James Bond; A little easier for some of us humans to say.

[fourscience]

James is your given name, correct? That is good to know.

[doubleoohbaby]

It is. You could always call me handsome if you'd prefer.

[fourscience]

Hah! You are very charming. I like that.

[doubleoohbaby]

It can be a rare trait in my kind. Enjoy it while you can.

[fourscience]

I do believe we will speak in the future. So I will be able to enjoy your charming personality more.

[doubleoohbaby]

Perhaps you could enjoy it even sooner than that.

[fourscience]

Oh? I do like the sound of that! What are you proposing, then?

[doubleoohbaby]

Hn, I don't know. Perhaps a night out somewhere might be rather nice.

[Whatever, weird looking alien chick is still a chick. He assumes.]

[fourscience]

That would be wonderful. I would like to see more of this place, and you seem to have been here a while!

[doubleoohbaby]

Well. [A while as in like a week right? That totally counts.] I do like to spread my knowledge.

[fourscience]

And that is why I believe that we will get along magnificently.

If you would like to name a location and a time, I will happily meet you.

[doubleoohbaby]

Hm, perhaps I could pick you up outside the apartments and we'll go from there? I'd hate for you to get lost.

[fourscience]

My sense of direction is wonderful, I assure you! But I will be happy to wait outside the building.

[doubleoohbaby]

It's customary to pick up a lady, rather than make her walk by herself.

[fourscience]

Then I will wait to be picked up. If you insist!

[doubleoohbaby]

See you there in thirty minutes?

[fourscience]

I will be here. Yes.
