Not only do I get to meet my first human, but I will be acting as a guide and translator for them. Then, I see the unmistakable form of a real live human descend the ramp of the shuttle and look around. I quickly compose myself.* "Greetings, I am Wrekek. I will be acting as your guide and translator."
