Humans are Weird - Feedable, Fencable, Fecund, Fun

​ Humans are Weird – Feedable, Fenceable, Fecund


“And when we determined that they had a five Sol reproductive cycle we realized that they were pretty much the perfect candidate for domestication.”
Human Friend Freddy was enthusiastically going on about the animals in the confinement space as she shifted the compressed bundles of groundcover fibers that were to serve as the animals’ feed for the projected ‘long winter’ the humans were preparing the base for.
Liftssignificantly shifted her, to be honest mostly ornamental, radiation shield and gripped the single stem of ground cover fiber so that it projected from her gripping end at the appropriate angle. She still wasn’t quite sure why the fashion was to hold the stem like that. The ‘straw hat’ made sense. It was easy to shape the fibers into disposable and compostable radiation shields , and even if it only covered about half of her length the ori gin of the fashion was easy to under stand when you saw the harsh dry and sun playing over the humans’ bodies and the humans were clearly delighted to share the fashion with their smaller and less bipedal allies. The stem however was to mimic the one humans held in their mouths when there were examining domestic livestock, and the purpose of that remained a mystery. The only fragment of an explanation she had gotten was when Human Friend Lee had laughed and made a joke about keeping away terror ghosts. However the humans were even more delighted to share this fashion than the other so she aligned the stem and sprawled herself more comfortably over the edge of the water trough.
“You sure that it’s safe for you to be in there?” Human Friend Freddy asked, interrupting her soliloquy on how perfect this new species of mammal was to glance down at Liftssignificantly in concern.
“There are no shared parasites that could possibly jump the species barrier,” Liftssignificantly said firmly for the twelfth time. “I know that this is a grievous concern for you but remember that my species is all but invulnerable to cross species parasite drift. We have to be to live in the water our entire lives.”
“Yeah,” Human Friend Freddy conceded, “you guys are basically sharks when it come right down to that.”
The the human grinned to herself. Presumably at the absurdity of a comparison between Liftssignificantly’s soft, cuddly body and the hydrodynamic nightmare of teeth and cartilage that was one of her homeworld’s sharks.
“Speaking of the danger,” the human said glancing up at one of the approaching animals.
The beast lumbered along on four legs. A quadruped, the humans called this land-form. It’s legs ended in thick pads that gave it exceptional traction on a variety of surfaces. It had a short, thick neck at one end of it’s body that was ringed around with a mane of sensory tendrils. Four directional eyes peep out of their soft mass and a lopsided mouth opened to reveal flat teeth and a long inquisitive tongue. The other end sprouted a tail and a matching cluster of sensory tendrils.
“Yes you drive the ecologists back at the university mad don’t you?” Human Friend Freddy crooned as she reached over to rub the animal at the base of it cranial sensory tendril cluster.
Liftssignificantly fought down a surge of jealousy. These animals might be prime candidates for domestication but they were still several generations from being truly domesticated. The humans needed to give it all the positive reinforcement they could until they could select for the proper neonatal behavior genes. Still, it did cut into the time their friends spent rubbing the Undulates. A bit of resentment wasn’t logical, but it was unavoidable.
“Four directional eyes and as far as any of us can tell a true and complete grazing herbivore,” Human Friend Freddy went on. “Not one observed reason in your natural history for you to need directional vision and plenty to make a more horsey eye set more logical.”
If the beast objected to her analysis of its sensory organs it didn’t show in the low, contented sounds it made as it lapped up the water over Liftssignificantly’s lagging end.
“Why are you so enthusiastic over this animal Human Friend Freddy?” Liftssignificantly finally asked.
“Because they are cool,” Human Friend Freddy said in a rather perplexed tone. “Perfect for a domesticated pack animal.”
“Yes,” Liftssignificantly agreed. “You have gone over that in depth. They are easy to feed, even over the winter months. They are easy to contain because they cannot escape fences, they produce offspring at a rate that does not overwhelm your created environments but is fast enough to ensure a viable breeding population in an acceptable timeframe.”
“Feedable, fencable, fecund,” Human Friend Freddy agreed. “So what’s your question?”
“You did not show nearly a similar interest in the lumberbacks,” Liftssignificantly pointed out.
Human Friend Freddy paused and frowned for a moment as she processed that.
“That’s true,” she said slowly.
Then her face broke out into a grin.
“It’s the spine!” She said with the light of revelation flashing over her exposed skin.
“The spine?” Liftssignificantly asked.
“The lumberbacks had a fragile spine,” Human Friend Freddy said. “You can stack literal tons in sidesaddles but nothing can sit directly on their spines, and to top that off they were slow, and they, well, lumbered.”
“Why is the defining factor the ability to place weight on the spine?” Liftssignificantly asked.
Human Friend Freddy’s face broke into a broad grin and Liftssignificantly felt a flicker of unease.
“Watch this!” the human called out and the flicker caused Liftsignificantly to stiffen in real fight.
Human Friend Freddy leapt into the pen with the half domesticated beast and then leapt onto its back with a delighted yell. There the human stayed as the beast gave a startled jump and proceeded to spin and race across the field with the human passenger yelling all the way.
Liftssignificantly pondered over the question of if this was supposed to answer her question as she reached for her comm unit.
“Base control?” she asked.
The Shatar on duty answered immediately.
“Please transfer me to the local human expert,” Liftssignificantly requested. “One of the humans just told me to ‘watch this’.”
She was transferred immediately.

Humans are Weird - Road Trip

​ Humans are Weird – Road Trip


The arrival hub of the Proxima Space Station was buzzing with the usual amount of life and noise when Shiftssubtly swam up to the check in counter. The chaotic color scheme that the humans preferred seemed appropriate to the interior of this section that they had contributed, if not particularly conductive to quiet thoughts, something that Shiftssubtly was rather in want of. He joined the waiting cluster at the terminal and absently exchanged greetings with the other returning undulates. He gave vent to a wriggle of amusement at the energetic antics of a small child traveling secured to one of her parents. She appeared to be attempting to describe a group of Shatar who were briskly striding over them. The cluster slowly rotated as each member passed the inspection and new members arrived.
“How was your exploratory outing with your human friend?” the clerk asked as Shiftssubtly regretfully abandoned his light touch on the little one and swam forward for his inspection.
Shiftssubtly wasn’t quite sure how the clerk knew what he had been doing but shrugged the question off.
“Rather confusing,” Shiftssubtly admitted. “I suspect I may have misinterpreted the purpose of the outing.”
“Please extend and rotate,” the clerk gestured to him. “Interesting, do go on.”
Shiftssubtly knew that these clerks were trained professionals. Their interest and concern was a considered a medical necessity to reintegrate Undulates who had been isolated for long periods or time back into a healthy culture. Therefore their responses were always somewhat sterile, but this clerk seemed genuinely interested. It was pleasant.
“This road trip,” Shiftssubtly explained, “Human Friend Bryant explained it to me as an attempt to make himself more familiar with the geography and natural resources of the Shatar controlled portion of Proxima Beta. He also said that they had the best roads of any planet he had been on since Earth.”
“That sounds,” the clerk agreed. “Only the Shatar build their transport currents to anything approaching human specifications.”
“We rented a wheel and axle based transport and spent the better part of the first two days modifying it for comfort.” Shiftssubtly went on. “I noted the seeming waste of time but Human Friend Bryant seemed unconcerned. Then we spent most of the third day securing foodstuffs for the human.”
“Was the local Shatar hive not able to offer much from their gardens?” the clerk asked. “Now alternate the rotation patterns for the scanner, that’s it.”
“They were able to provide us with ample food,” Shiftssubtly went on. “Human Friend Bryant seemed to want some very specific food types. They were not all Earth native but they all seemed to share certain traits. These did make them ideal for storage without refrigeration, but I am afraid that it also made them less than optimally healthy for Human Friend Bryant. He would not even let me try some of them and you know that our digestive systems are usually very comparable. The Second Father from the local garden was so distressed over what he saw of the foodstuffs that Human Friend Bryant actually decided to sneak out of the Garden rather than explain the situation.”
“You were only gone for five days,” observed the clerk. “One more rotation and we will be done with the scan set.”
“Then there is that,” Shiftssubtly admitted. “That was the most confusing part. Rather than choose one location to explore in depth Human Friend Bryant just loaded us both into the transport and drove straight along the road until we ran out of time. He only stopped to relieve his physical needs and to get fresh water for my transport tank. Not only that I was observing his eyes the whole time. You know that you can figure out generally what they are observing if you do the math based on how their eyes are aligned? Well his eyes never seemed to leave the road ahead of us. I doubt he observed the area in any detail at all.”
“Very odd,” the clerk agreed. “You are clear. Welcome back to the space station. Remember that the gravity fluctuates between the general areas and the human’s training areas.”
Shiftssubtly gave the clerk a grateful pat as he swam away into the base. The whole trip had been odd, enjoyable, what with the friendly conversation and the generally pleasant temperatures, but Shiftssubtly had to admit that he was no wisee about the ultimate purpose of a road-trip than before he had gone on one.
