Yonkers: We are not Alone

We'll, we've definitively answered the question -- no, we are not alone in the universe. There are other intelligent races out there... or should I say "here", as our point of reference has changed.

I'd rather not get into the specifics now, but what I can say is that we have been forced to evacuate the Moonbird facility and are now on an alien world. Due to an accelerated timeline, we were unaware that the world we are now on was inhabited. Fortunately, we were able to make first contact without too much trouble, and we are able to address our basic needs with the help of our new host.

Finding a way to return home (or at the very least, send a message to our associates) is our top priority, but it seemed a shame to waste the perfect opportunity at field work. After all, this is the sort of thing we have all trained for! But we can't go about this haphazardly. Our technology is slightly more advanced than the natives, but we don't exactly have access to it all at the moment, do we? Also, they tower above us in stature. We have much to learn about their behavior, but it seems clear both we and our host prefer to keep our presence here a secret for the moment. If reciprocity is truly a common evolutionary element in intelligent societies, we should strive to do as little to disrupt our host's current lifestyle.

It is by the greatest of luck (for us) that our new friend is located in a dwelling filled with various electronic and mechanical devices, both functional as well as in need of repair. Perhaps we can assist one other...
