"Curious" I thought as I gazed at the image on holo-scope. "Very curious indeed". What I saw we had seen depictions of before; terrans or, earthlings. My name was Thorrg and I was a scientist as well as explorer from the planet Creat. It was located millions of miles away from this solar system, and it's blueish green surface could not have been more unlike where I called home. Creat was dreary and gray, homes built into the rocky terrain as it was impossible to do away with or build on top of. We were a culture of beings that mostly lived underground in artificial light; only coming to the surface when it was time to barter or replenish. It was also always cold, the temperature never raising above 55 degrees.
I was more than a little intrigued by the creature I was watching. It appeared to be an earthling, age unknown but most likely a female by our research. She was hanging frocks of different colors on a line for some purpose, while small earthlings, children, rolled a sphere back and forth a short distance from where she stood. It was difficult to tell what was actually her body as she was wearing a sort of uniform, something we did not do on Creat. Our sex organs were concealed inside until needed, and our hide was a mixture of more scales than hair. This speciman seemed to have hair only on the top of it's head. It was a brilliant golden color that shimmered in the suns rays, and her skin appeared to be pinkish in hue. There was a low hum as our ship dropped down into the earth's atmosphere. I glanced over at Orgg, my navigator and gestured at the screen. "That one" I hissed. "Get the coordinates and take us to where she is.." There were a few quiet blips and beeps and then a slight shift in direction and speed. "I do believe I've found my speciman" I thought and sank back into the soft embrace of my command chair...
