 Humans are Weird – Pressure Drop


“Pardon me Human Friend -”
Human Friend Helen emitted a harsh bark of sound and staggered away from where she had been threading some fiber through the slats of solar radiation shielding.
“My most sincere apolo-” Feeling the Joy of Generosity began as contrition rippled through his mass, shaking out more than a few dried blades of grass.
“Not-”Human Friend Helen gasped out, “no prob-” she hissed in another breath, “please don’t- I just-really focused you know.”
The human have a wry laugh and obviously pulled her awareness inward to balance her reactions. Feeling the Joy of Generosity politely shifted his center of mass down to indicate that he was patiently waiting for her to center herself. He was well aware that this gave him an appearance that humans considered pudgy and amusing, but given that he had clearly startled this human that was probably not a bad thing in this case. Human Friend Helen finally drew in a deep breath and shook out her body.
“I got to focused on this,” she indicated the work she was doing with a wave of her hand. “You heard the measurements for the blinds were all wrong when they arrived? Anyway you made plenty of noise on your approach, I was just too internalized, so there’s no need to apologize.”
“As ever thank you for your clear explanation of the social element Human Friend Helen,” Felling the Joy of Generosity said, making sure to use the tones human associated with sincerity. “In that case may I use sorry in an expression of compassion for the fight or flight surge you experienced?”
The human blinked at him as she mulched that over and then she smiled and the harsh tank of mammalian panic hormones that filled the room was softened by the pleasure and relief pheromones that washed out of her.
“Sure thing Feels, and thank you.” She said. “Now, what did you want?”
“I am looking for Human Friend Gavin,” Feeling the Joy of Generosity stated allowing his tones to shift to display his cheerful intent.
It was so very important that humans got signals of your benign intentions, otherwise they were reluctant to provide location data for others.
“He was doing touch up work in the rafters of the north collaboration hut,” Human Friend Helen stated with a wave to indicate the direction of said hut. “He’ll probably still be there. Installing vents in dead-wood structures is fussy work.”
“Thank you,” Feeling the Joy of Generosity said. “I wish you pleasant work integrating the radiation shields.”
“Oh, it’s fun enough,” Human Friend Helen said as she bent back over the worksurface.
Feeling the Joy of Generosity shuffled out of the room and headed towards the location of the new north collaboration hut. The structures were an experimental space meant to welcome all seven species at the University branch in a more natural outdoor environment. There was a humanity grade roof, strong enough to take the full gravitational load of winter snow as well as tight enough to resists the highest of winds. The underside was shaped with curves and foils that were designed to redirect the force of the wind blasts to prevent them from lifting the structure off of it’s main supports; wooden posts, just over two meters tall, and below that sunk deep into the soil for strength and stability at each of the ten corners. There were sides that could be lowered and raised at will to deflect or welcome solar radiation, wind, or even the small streams that meandered through the structure to meet at the small pond in the center.
Just designing proper venting around all those elements was a feat in itself for a deadwood structure that could not change or adapt naturally Feeling the Joy of Generosity mused as he shuffled towards it. Actually manually applying those designs would be ‘fussy’ work as Human Friend Helen had put it. His musings were interrupted by a sudden tremor that ran through the ground and then the air. Something large must have fallen to the ground and from the direction of the sound waves it had fallen in the structures he was approaching. Feeling the Joy of Generosity’s tendrils stirred uneasily within his bio mass. He knew of nothing that should have been falling to the ground at this stage of the construction, and now he noticed that some ambient noise had ceased. He was not sure which however. He found himself wishing he had brought his movement tray, but he had gotten so efficient at mimicking walking in this form that he rarely even disturbed the humans. However running was quite out of the question if he wanted any sort of biomass cohesion. So he continued to shuffle one foot in front of the other until he came around one of the lowered walls of the structure.
Feeling the Joy of Generosity paused a moment to take in the scene. From the flowing of the air around him it was clear that half of this side of the structure had been vented. A human class, non powered climbing device was propped against the wall. On the leaf litter scattered floor Human Friend Gavin lay on one side. One hand clutched a blood stained scrap of natural fiber cloth to the other. His eyes were open, but even Feeling the Joy of Generosity could see that his irises and pupils were not visible.
Feeling the Joy of Generosity digested his options and shuffled forward to the human’s side. Mammals could not lose much internal fluid by mass. He lifted the damaged hand and examined it. It had not seemed to loose more than a few cubic centimeters of blood at most. The injury appeared to be a small, rough hole going entirely through the flesh. Feeling the Joy of Generosity spotted a small powered drill not far from where the human had fallen and an extended tendril detected particles of blood and flesh on it. However the injury had not lost much fluid and was rapidly sealing. Still Feeling the Joy of Generosity carefully repositioned the cloth which seemed to have absorbed the majority of what blood had escaped over the injury and secured it there with several of his own smaller structural vines.
As the vines gently cinched down Human Friend Gaving began to stir and let out a groan. His eyeballs rotate in their sockets and his eyelids rapidly blinked as his irises flexed to focus on Feeling the Joy of Generosity. The Gathering carefully prodded the interior of his own face with active tendrils to made sure all the elements were properly in place to present a comforting image to the human.
“What are you injuries Human Friend Gavin?” Feeling the Joy of Generosity asked.
The human blinked at him a few more times and then his face grew red as his blood vessels dilated.
“’M fine,” the human slurred out as he made an attempt to roll into a more vertical position.
Feeling the Joy of Generosity felt a sympathetic ripple run through him. It seemed that Human Friend Gavin was having trouble generating non-distressing tones himself due to the minor loss of mass.
“I’m fine,” Human Friend Gavin managed to enunciate as he finally managed to get up, onto his hands and knees, and then stagger mostly upright.
The red color drained out of the human’s face leaving him pale and dim once more. The human lurched sideways until he came to rest against the wall. Once propped against the structure he squinted down at the cloth now tied to his hand and frowned. He picked lightly at the vines in confusion, then his glance shifted to Feeling the Joy of Generosity. He blinked a few more times and then managed to smile.
“Thanks for the wrap Feels Dude,” Human Friend Gavin said.
His tones were more human normal now but still weak.
“May I escort you to the medical office?” Feeling the Joy of Generosity.
The human flushed again and bit his lower lip as he considered this.
“Nah,” he finally said.
“I would probably be too slow,” admitted Feeling the Joy of Generosity. “You should set out then.”
“What?” The human blinked at him again as he gradually shifted into a more upright position. “Ah, I see what you mean. Nah, you can come with me if you like, but this,” he waved his injured hand, “this lil’ perforation? Not worth a trip to the mammal doctor. I’ll just go and rest and run the deep tissue disinfectant over it.”
Feeling the Joy of Generosity pondered this as the human began teetering around to gather his tools.
“How is losing consciousness and falling off a climbing device not worthy of a medical visit?” he asked, making sure to put plenty of skepticism in his tones.
From the annoyed look Human Friend Gavin shot him he suspected he might have overdone it.
“Only fell off the last step,” the human protested, “and it was a controlled fall too! My brain’s fine!”
“Why did you fall then?” Feeling the Joy of Generosity pressed.
The human sighed and lifted his toolbag with his uninjured hand. He swayed a moment, swayed far outside of normal movements in a human and then braced a shoulder against the wall again.
“Look,” Human Friend Gavin finally said, and his tones suggested he was admitting something shameful. “I got this low blood pressure issue. Can’t stand the sight of my own blood. I loose any at all and I just wobble and then keel over. I just need some rest and I’ll be right back to work. You coming?”
The human shoved off of the wall and staggered off towards his personal habitation. Feeling the Joy of Generosity followed him, uncertain if this situation called for a quick medical snitch.

Humans are Weird - A Little Fey

 Humans are Weird – A Little Fey


“No, the humans can’t see out of our visual range,” Doctor Drawing snapped, making sure to click his teeth together loudly.
He instantly regretted the decision and began prodding at his current loose tooth with his tongue. He absently reached into a drawer on his workstation and pulled out a wad of pulling gum.
“As a matter of fact,” he stated, as he positioned the gum over the loose tooth with his tongue, “Given our heat pits we see quite a bit further into the infrared spectrum than they do.”
“Perhaps whatever Private Grimes was reacting to was too far distant for me too see clearly,” Commander Pulp offered.
Doctor Drawing bit down on the pulling gum with a loud smack and squinted at the young commander. He gave a few chews and then shoved the gum to the side.
“I know you know better than that,” the doctor growled out, sending a regretful look at his yet uncompleted reports. “Sure they have better distance vision than we do, but from what you told me you were in the forested section. Not even Winged eyes can see through tree trunks, let alone human eyes.”
Commander Pulp waved his tail absently in agreement.
“It wasn’t only that his eyes were focusing on something I couldn’t see either,” Commander Pulp said. “He would suddenly turn, not his whole body mind, he would just swivel his head on his neck and his eyes wold dart to the side. They he would twist his head, as if he was trying to get a directional sound.”
“Now, that might have been him hearing something you didn’t” Doctor Drawing admitted as he worked at his loose tooth with tongue and gum. “They are all but base deaf, but they can hear far higher pitched noises than we can.”
“Then he would occasionally reach out with his hands,” Commander Pulp went on, his tail now almost thrashing with unease, “as if he was going to touch someone conversationally. You know how humans hold their fingers when they want to use their native touch language.”
“Yes, yes,” Doctor Drawing muttered as he ground the gum against the tooth and then pulled up with a smack. “It is quite distinctly different than how they use touch with the Undulates. Much more about communicating emotion than distinct thoughts.”
“The whole day he was acting strangely,” Commander Pulp seemed to be reaching some conclusion. “He was distracted-”
“Maybe sleep deprivation and fatigue?” Doctor Drawing interrupted him, eyeing his neglected pile of work meaningfully.
“No!” Commander Pulp stated, smacking the floor with his tail in assurance. “The records show he has gotten plenty of sleep! And surely you have seen his face recently? His thermoaura is glowing with health and vitality. He wasn’t stumbling and his reaction times have been above average if anything!”
“And you think the best explanation for this is that the humans has made invisible friends?” Doctor Drawing demanded as the tooth popped out of its slot with a satisfying sound.
“It certainly is a possibility,” Commander Pulp said, his voice lowering a bit defensively.
Doctor Drawing examined his now free tooth for a long moment to make sure the roots had come away clean and idly prodded at the new gap in his mouth. He could feel the new tooth peaking through the gums already. With a sigh he opened another drawer and tossed the old tooth in.
“Commander,” he said, turning his full attention on the youngster and putting as much confidence into his voice as he could. “In your opinion is Grimes a reliable member of our community?”
“Yes!” Commander Pulp stated without hesitation.
“If this planet was suddenly visited by another, a new sapient species,” the doctor articulated slowly, “don’t you think he would report it as he has been trained to?”
Commander Pulp hesitated a moment, and then his tail waved in slow assent.
The doctor heaved another sigh, the young commander clearly wasn’t fully placated.
“Roll your tongue over this,” Doctor drawing offered. “Now that you lay it all out like that I have heard of behavior like this before.”
Commander Pulp’s tail positively wagged at that as he perked up.
“Now scent, the description was just as vague as the one you gave me,” the doctor warned him, “and not exactly the same, but a human doctor friend of mine described it as the human, just being a little fey.”
“Fey?’ Commander Pulp asked, his nose wrinkling with concentration.
“Never got a proper definition of it,” the doctor admitted as he shuffled the papers on his desk meaningfully, “but the tail tip of the matter was that some humans just act like that sometimes. Like they have a whole barn-full of friends that you can’t see and they are tending to them that day. Not even the human doctor had a good explanation for it. So I suggest,” Doctor Drawing glared at the commander out of one eye, “that you simply keep your nose to the wind and hope this state passes without incident.”
That said Doctor Drawing very deliberately pulled up several layers of holo-screen between him and the commander. Commander Pulp finally took the hint and shuffled out of the room, muttering to him self as he went.
“A little fey...”

Humans are Weird - Sun Sneeze

 Humans are Weird – Sneeze


“Private Smith, Private Smith!” Fifty-Third Click shirked out between clicks of delighted amusement and he darted out of the afternoon sun and into the cool shade of the largest storage shed on the base. “Private Larson just fell into the south pond! Don’t worry. It’s not the one we get our food water out of! It’s the smaller one down below! Private Larson was carrying the big hamper just full of your soft white undergarments! The special ones the officers use with the word stitching in them! He slipped on the mud of the trail and because he was more concerned with keeping the undergarments from falling out of the hamper than keeping himself out of the spring he over balanced and just stumbled right into the really deep part! He was squelching and thrashing but by the Royal Family he kept that hamper level and clear of the mud! At least, he did, until the deep hole got him and he just sunk right down! Then the hamper hit the water and rocked a bit, and I guess that’s when Private Larson remembered that the hampers are waterproof and seal the top on contact with water to protect the contents because that was when he started swearing! So he pushed-”


“Fifty-Third Click!” Private Smith said in a firm but amused tone. “You’re chattering way too high for me to make sense of! All I got outta that was that you’re going on about Lars.”
The human set down the compound joint he had been cleaning with a micorfiber cloth and shoved his water stained hat up off of his forehead, revealing a swath of the saline rich water beads that humans extruded when they were heat stressed. Fifty-Third Click immediately swelled out his diaphragm to sound out the ridiculously low range vocalizations humans required, but he hesitated to speak as most of his attention was focused on where he could land on the human that was not slightly damp. He finally decided that a standard shoulder perch would be best even if it did get his feet a bit wet.
“Private Larson fell in the south pond!” Fifty-Third Click explained, low and slow for the human’s ears. “He-”
Once more his tale was interrupted, this time as the human leap to his feet with a shout of dismay, dislodging Fifty-Third Click’’s ginger footing. Fifty-Third Click took to the air and easily darted ahead of the human into his line of sight.
“Why didn’t you tell me that first thing?” Private Smith demanded as his massive trunks of legs slowly accelerated around the various containers scattered on the ground, gradually dragging his swaying center of mass towards the closest exit point large enough for a human.
“I did tell you that the very first thing!” Fifty-Third Click exclaimed. “It’s unfortunate you had to get up so fast just now because there is so much more to the story and it takes so much of your attention to walk safely, but after Private Larson had gotten-”
At that moment Private Smith’s face contorted so horribly that Fifty-Third Click completely changed the tack of his speech.
“What is wrong with you face Private Smith?” Fifty-Third Click demanded, feeling proud that he remembered to keep his voice low so the human could hear him clearly. “It’s all contorted and your eyes are contracting. Why are you putting up your hand as if to block a blow? There is nothing falling from above us. Oh! You are blocking out the sun light! That’s right your eyes don’t adjust to light changes as quickly as ours! Let me just angle down to get a better look at that round muscle contracting. Ha! All your muscular movements are so-”
The hot afternoon air was suddenly ripped apart as Private Smith’s body gave one great spasm and ejected a blast of air from his flaring nostrils. Fifty-Third Click had just enough time to see, and identify the projectile wave of moisture particles that shot out at him before they peppered into this entire body. His delicate nostril frills were first struck by, then coated by the viscous droplets. The stiff guard hairs that protected his inner ears bent and pulled as they preformed their function. Of course his eyelids automatically shut, his lips closed, and his inner nostrils irised shut before the first droplet struck, but there was no protection for his four exposed sensory horns. They felt the clammy orbs strike one at a time even after they were coated. He could swear that he felt the humans microfauna crawling over them. He was now blind, half deaf, scentless, and near flailing.
The force of the wind alone blew him back several wing lengths before his wings automatically rebalanced him. He suddenly sensed something solid beneath his feet and gladly grabbed onto what could only be a human hand. He was aware that Private Smith was speaking very quickly for a human but couldn’t quite make out what was being said. No doubt the well trained Ranger was going to take him to a cleansing bath-
Sudden horror struck Fifty-Third Click.
“Dust!” he shrieked out, peeling open his coated lips. “Dust! Not water! Whatever you do don’t put me in the human eyewash station! Oh, First Wing you are going to turn the water shower on me!”
With another stab of horror he realized he wasn’t speaking low enough for the human to hear. However before he could begin to struggle there was a rush and the clammy feeling on his horns turned to a caked dusty feeling and with a surge of relief Fifty-Third Click realized that Private Smith had remembered to use the sterile dust pack instead of the human rated water. For a moment Fifty-Third Click was simply focused on getting the clammy feeling off of his sensory horns. With a start he realized that there were two new sore spots on his head when his winghooks brushed over them. Scabs! What a time to realize his next set was coming in!
That thought was interrupted when the hand he was sitting in suddenly flipped over and shook as if trying to dislodge him. He panicked and dug his claws into the tough human flesh. He felt on claw actually pierce Private Smith’s skin and with another, different tack of panic as his sensitive leg fur detected the flow of a far more viscous liquid than sweat. He let go and felt his claw pull out of the skin. He toppled side first into a pile of dust on a soft, cloth surface. He sent an apologetic chirp up to the friend he had mentally slandered. Of course Private Smith wouldn’t have just dumped him blind and half deaf on the ground Fifty-Third Click reasoned, now that he could reason as the blessed dust absorbed the liquid and peeled the bacteria he knew was there off of him.
As he calmed down he started to wonder where exactly he was. He pried one eye open to see the weave of the cloth humans made their low grade personal solar radiation shields from. Clearly Private Smith had dumped him and the emergency dust into his, hat, he believed the humans called it, in order to make Fifty-Third Click a nice dust bath. The hat was mostly closed at the top and was swinging with the soothing rhythm of a human running. The bright, afternoon sun peaked through the water-drop shape gap that the cloth left and his own comfort rapidly returning Fifty-Third Click felt a flap of unease for Private Smith’s exposed scalp. Private Smith’s fur shield was thinning recently after all. The swaying stopped and two human human voices began speaking. Realizing that the second voice was Private Larson, and that his eyes were reasonably clear now, Fifty-Third Click stuck his head out of the improvised dust bath and grinned over at the bedraggled human. It was rather nice to be able to enjoy the chaos of watching a friend fall in the water without serious consequences. Private Larson looked down at him with a rueful grin.
“So you flew off to get me help?” Private Larson asked. “That was cricket of you.”
“Nope!” Fifty-Third Click cheerfully replied. “I ran off to laugh at you with Private Smith! It was clear you were safe.”
“Then why didn’t you tell him I didn’t need-” Private Larson squinted at Fifty-Third Click’s dust caked head. “What happened to you?”
“He!” Fifty-Third Click jabbed an accusing winghook up at Private Smith, “sneezed on me!”
“Stepped out into the sun too fast,” Private Smith explained when Private Larson directed his eyes up at the other human. “Blinded me and gave me a sun sneeze.”
“So for future reaction tacks I should avoid the sneeze zone when a human is moving quickly from shade to sun,” Fifty-Third said, exposing as many teeth as he could. “That would have been handy to know about ten minutes ago!”
“Sorry little buddy,” Private Smith said, but his mouth was twitching in a poor attempt to hide a smile.
Fifty-Third Click huffed and ducked back into his dust bath. He would feel bad about Private Smith solar radiation exposure later. Right now he had human microfauna to clean out of his fur.

Humans are Weird - Stood Up Too Fast

 Humans are Weird – Stood Up Too Fast

With a resounding snap that echoed down the long corridor the elastic band slipped off the far support and slammed into the plasicreet wall several Unds down the corridor from Pullsstrongly. He allowed a ripple of unease to flow down his dorsal surface and felt the rasping of his dehydrated external membrane. With a defeated slump he shuffled over to the band and retrieved it. He shuffled back to his work location and carefully placed the band in his tool box.
With a feeling of profound relief he rotated his attention to the sound of running water coming from the hatch below and between the two supports he had been trying to affix the band to. He lifted the hatch cover and slipped into the water below. It was stingingly sterile but at least the flow wasn’t entirely artificially smooth. Pullsstrongly let himself drift a bit before he spread his appendages to anchor himself to the walls of the channel. The sterile water began soaking into his membrane and he felt his fibers star to relax as he pondered his next move.
The communication from the university had been clear. A full flight of Winged would be arriving at the end of this work day. Even if it wasn’t for the regulations on the matter as chief of maintenance it was Pullsstrongly’s duty to make sure that the base was ready to receive them. Their personal quarters has been prepared days before. The kitchen gardens had been planted weeks ago and were producing just the epiphyte nodes the Winged preferred. The task that had been left until the last moment was the quick and easy job of placing the springy, elastic perches that mimicked natural branch movement in much the same way the channels mimicked natural water flow, in the recommended positions around the base.
That is, the process was easy so long as there were two Undulates present. The hatch covers were deliberately as wide as one average Undulate was long. In this particular base there was a stout support at each end to keep the humans from accidentally treading on the hatch cover. To provide a convenient and comfortable perch for the expected Winged, the plan was to print out the bands and stretch them from support to the other. However this task, with its fairly low priority had been put off in favor of more pressing matters and this morning every other Undulate on the base was out in the algae gardens collecting crop nodes that would fade within hours. The human contingent had mostly headed inland after the heavy preparation was done to observe a volcanic eruption. They had said something about an ancient cultural tradition of “poking it with a stick” that they were obligated to preform. However not all of them had left on this pilgrimage.
Pullsstrongly stirred the bed of the situation in his thoughts. There was one human technician on the base. An aquatic botanist who had stayed behind due to some weakness in certain of the fiber clusters humans called “organs”. The main symptoms, a dry, hacking vocal expression had passed, but had left the human rather weak. Pullsstrongly floated the importance of having the base comfortable for the arriving Undulates against the drag of possibly stressing Human Friend Tinka. By the time his membrane was fully saturated he had decided to ask her and let her make the decision herself. He struck out swimming against the current and popped up into the recreation room.
Human Friend Tinka was sprawled out over the couch in an almost comfortable sprawl of limbs. She was watching one of the wall screens where some human media was playing. The light from the screens was scattered in that particular way that indicated a very old document and she had not altered the settings to make the visuals easily palatable to Undulate vision. He could just make out human forms moving around and the sound component suggested there was some sort of investigations happening. Human Friend Tinka reached out and picked up a cup of fragrant tea and took a slow sip without moving her eyes from the screen.
“Human Friend Tinka?” Pullsstrongly called out.
She immediately set the cup down and turned her attention to him.
“Yo Pulls,” she greeted him. “What can I do for you?”
Pullsstrongly shuffled towards her so he didn’t have to speak quite so loudly.
“Would you mind helping me place the perch bands?” he asked.
Human Friend Tinka responded with movement rather than sound. Her face lit up with the pleasure a human radiated when they found a way to be useful and she pulled her limbs out of their comfortable sprawl and stood, stretching her arms up above her head in a gesture she used to align her spine.
Immediately Pullsstrongly knew something was wrong. The lights in her bare feet surged and then grew dull. The lights in her face dimmed to a sickly pallor. She took one step and then slowly folded down in what appeared to be a barely controlled collapse. Her legs bent and she knelt. One knee brushing Pullsstrongly’s side. Her hands flailed out coming down on his other side and the idea that he was about to experience the full land weight of a human bubbled in Pullsstrongly, but the moment they brushed the floor her hands stiffened and held her weight on her extended fingertips. Her head bowed, nearly touching his dorsal side, and the glowing orbs that were her sight organ rolled up, exposing the pulsing undersides moments before her lids closed over them. All of this took matter of seconds and was over well before Pullsstrongly had fully sounded the situation.
“Human Friend Tinka!” He called out, but wasn’t sure he was articulating the sounds well enough.
He flung up appendages and pressed his words into her face. Her face was cold and clammy to his touch and he frantically wondered if she was going numb. How did one communicate with a numb and deaf human? There were no medics on the base. However suddenly Human Friend Tinka gasped and the lights surged back into the stripes on her face. Her eye membranes fluttered and then blinked several times revealing the normal dancing sparkle underneath them. She drew in several long breaths before turning her eyes on him.
“Why are you grabbing my face?” she asked in slightly distorted tones.
Realizing she couldn’t move her lips properly Pullsstrongly releases her.
“You fell!” he blurted out.
“I didn’t hurt you?” she asked, concern darkening her lights for a moment.
“Oh no!” Pullsstrongly assured her. “We Undulates are quite resistant to crush damage. You really can’t hurt me in this gravity.”
“Good, good,” Human Friend Tinka said as she stood to her full height with seemingly no more than the usual amount of swaying. “Let’s go attach those perches or whatever.”
Pullsstrongly grabbed onto her ankle and gripped the floor, effectively pinning her in place.
“What’s wrong Pulls?” she asked.
“You fell!” Pullsstrongly repeated.
“Yeah,” she nodded. “I got up too fast. It was a doozy too. Greyed out a little there.”
She stared down at him expectantly. As if her side of the conversation was done. Pullsstrongly hesitated. Human Friend Tinka clearly did not consider herself to be in any danger. Perhaps it would be best to simply accept her help and then latch onto the first medic that came to the base for an explanation. He had seen humans “stand up” thousands of times and it had never occurred to him that it might be done “too fast”.
