Humans are Weird - Mad as a March Hare
Humans are Weird – Mad as a March Hare“Well I for one am glad that winter will be over soon,” the human commander said with some intensity in his voice as the two officers stared out at the rolling amber hills outside of the base.
“I would say that this winter season has been over for some days Commander Bryant,” Rollsover said with a surprised note in his voice. “The temperature has steadily increased over the last several days and the local growths are blooming quite nicely.”
“Don’t be fooled,” Bryant replied grimacing out at the field where the better portion of the human population of the base was busily recreating. “This is just a fool’s spring. You can feel the nip in the air when the wind blows from the far hills. There’s still snow up there.”
“You can feel that,” Rollsover corrected him. “I feel only the wash of pheromones of the local growths. It rather drowns out any less subtle indicators. Do you think we will get another snow this seasonal cycle? That would be stressful on the circulation systems on the base.”
“Yeah,” the human agreed. “It’s a pain keeping up all that water, but you guys need it. I am going to try to get the outer pipes better insulated before next winter. We don’t want to risk another breach.”
Rollsover shivered at the memory of the exterior pipe breach and the thing that had entered their water system because of it. The ice had damaged the sensors so that they had not even noted the incursion until the residents of one particular pod cluster had complained about an odd taste in the water. Finding the decaying body of the toothy predator in the damaged section of the system had not been pleasant. The thought of what would have happened if it had been an aquatic or semi-aquatic predator that had breached the system still sent him into rigid terrors. A thought occurred to him and he was about to address the human commander again when a flutter of movement on the edge of his specific sight caught his attention.
“Pardon me,” he began carefully, “but isn’t that human a bit too far off the ground? Not at the moment of course, and I certainly don’t claim to be a parabolic trajectory expert, but I do not think you normally jump quite that high.”
“You mean Lee?” commander Bryant asked, his face splitting into a grin.
He let out an abrupt breath that was the reflection of laughter and nodded his head.
“You’re spot on,” he said. “We don’t normally jump that high, but Lee’s special. He aces every physical and he competes in unarmed combat competitions back home. His preferred martial art is Tang Soo Do. He is capable of jumping much higher than most humans and way higher than me.”
The last statement was said in a rueful tone as the older human lifted up his mug to take another sip of his liquid stimulant. They observed the clusters of humans in companionable silence. After a moment Rollsover began to notice a pattern in the movement of the humans on the hill. At first he was uncertain. It made little to no sense. However, when the soft wind brought the clearly identifiable sound of two human bodies colliding – and wasn’t it a testimony to how strange they were that he had learned to identify that specific sound – he felt the need to address the issue.
“Pardon me Commander Bryant,” he said. “My vision at this distance is not terribly specific you know, but it appears to me that the humans are flinging themselves at one another in some sort of combat.”
This time the commander did break out in full bodied laughter. He nodded his head and waved his free hand at the humans on the hill.
“Those poor kids have been cooped up in the base all winter,” he finally managed to say. “The first day they got out like this is was practically a given that they were going to to wild, like kids at recess.”
“Will there be any injuries?” Rollsover asked.
“Oh yeah,” the human commander nodded with a wide grin. “Sprains, bruises, abrasions, the works. I wouldn’t be surprised is someone snapped a femur or two. We’ll find out at the end of the day when the survivors come limping back in for dinner.”
“Survivors?” Rollsover asked, deliberately putting a tone of human horror in his voice.
He was reasonably sure that the human commander was being fastecious but one did want to make sure.
“Joking,” the human said with a chuckle. “But the point stands. They were troopers all winter, they deserve to get out on the downs and go as mad as march hares when the spring comes.”
R-6!

Humans are Weird - Some for the Road
Humans are Weird – Some for the Road“So, is this going to be a formal disciplinary hearing?” Shiftstotheside asked as he examined the information on his datapad.
“No,” Second Sister said as she carefully placed the holorecorder down on the table. “For the first string the Central University has not qualified the human tolerance for distraction when operating heavy equipment, for the second string the human in question has a flawless safety record when it comes to impact accidents.”
She shuffled the papers on her desk and her frill tightened in annoyance.
“The desire to learn and improve oneself is not an impulse that I am prepared to punish,” she clicked softly in her Mother language.
Shiftstotheside hummed in agreement and reached out an appendage to finish the thought string, metaphorically speaking.
“But that must be balanced against physical safety,” he pointed out.
“Added to that the human seems to accept a massive reduction in data retention when utilizing this study method,” Second Sister went on, accepting the assistance without so much as flicking her antenna.
“Really?” Shiftstotheside asked, his interest suddenly stirred afresh.
Second Sister let the antenna nearest him curl in a graceful movement of confirmation as she selected on paper from the pile she held and placed it where his slightly damp examination appendages could hover over it without touching the materiel. Shifstotheside considered the data retention tests and gave soft buzz of confusion.
“This is well below the human average for having listened to the same material for as many times as it says he did,” Shiftstotheside observed.
“Yes,” Second Sister agreed. “Which is hardly surprising considering that the majority of the human’s attention was, and should have been, focused on piloting a ground transport through a dangerous mountain pass.”
“Pardon,” the Undulate raised an appendage and Second Sister couldn’t help the amused flutter of her frill watching her old friend clearly practicing human politeness gestures.
The newest members of the galactic community had already added more than one gesture to the collective awareness but this one seemed both more useful and more universal that the others. Most species had at least one limb or extremity that could be raised in parallel with their main mass. Shiftstotheside had bee a bit slow to adapt but he was trying his best to keep up with his younger collages.
“I am still a little adrift about the geography of this base,” he said. “Here near the university the land is near uniformly flat. Though I am aware of the hazard markers for the terrain outside of the main settlement, I have never really been able to sound their meaning.”
Second Sister clicked in understanding. The movement of the college of hydrocultrual psychology to the Class Five hazard world had been controversial to say the least, but the human’s pledge to maintain a branch in the college had been determined enough of a mitigating factor to offset the many disadvantages, not the least of which was that the only sufficient sources of minerals for both nutrition and research purposes were well within the worst of the hazard zones, necessitating the construction of actual physical roads.
“The hazards are a series of cliffs in the tectonically raised sections of the road,” Second Sister explained.
Shiftstotheside gave an encouraging hum and Second Sister felt her proboscis flick out in amusement. Her explanation so far had clearly been less than satisfactory.
“The waves here are very large and powerful,” she went on. “They have eroded the side of the mountain the road goes over to the point where it is nearly a ninety degree angle from the surface the road is on to the rocks below.”
“A fall from such a place would be both likely and bad,” Shiftstotheside said with the firmness that most species expressed when they were processing something that was entirely out of their perception profile.
“Indeed,” Second Sister replied. “At the speed that the humans prefer to pilot the transports, combined with their reaction times it becomes a fairly dangerous proposition.”
“And the human is deliberately distracting himself with learning complex subjects during the time he is supposed to be focused on this dangerous piloting assignment,” Shiftstotheside summarized, shifting back to the main string of the conversation.
“Yes,” Second Sister said as her frill drooped in frustration.
The sound of the double beat of the human’s walking pattern approached and Second Sister exchanged a meaningful glance with Shiftstotheside’s primary sensory appendage as the human in question strolled in.
“Yo Sister!” the human male greeted them with a cheerful revelation of teeth. “You wanted to talk to me?”
“That I did,” Second Sister said. “It is about the safety measures you are taking for your current transport duties-”
“Really?” the human’s binocular eyes visibly focused on her. “I’m pretty sure I’m following all the rules.”
“You are,” she agreed. “However I have some questions about your listening material as we have no rules about that.”
“Yet,” Shiftstotheside pointed out in a private gesture the human wouldn’t be able to see.
“My long haul playlist?” the human asked, his face relaxing into a smile. “Oh that’s cool. Boredom is way more dangerous than keeping my brain sharp with podcasts. You can look it up in the psych database. If that’s it!”
The human waved goodbye and strolled out of the room humming a soft tune.
Second Sister considered recalling him to finish the meeting, but she supposed she should look up the relevant data first.

Humans are Weird - See No Damage
Humans are Weird – See No DamageThe late afternoon sunlight was turning the rolling hills a lovey shade of burnt umber. At least that is what the human had observed several minutes ago. Gist’ck was well aware of how much acuter the human’s distance vision was than his. To his eight eyes the surrounding world was a vague blur that only changed color and intensity with the time of day. If he had to designate a single color for this time it would have been the pale searing purple of the sky. It was rapidly becoming his least favorite color.
“Un-puff little friend,” Human Friend Steve called out from where he bent over the geological probe he was manually opening. “You know you don’t fit down the access hatch when you get all freaked out.”
Rather than waste the oxygen and moisture contradicting everything wrong with that statement for the fifth time that work cycle Gist’ck hefted his backpack onto his abdomen and trotted over to the (to him) pillar of the geological probe. It was somewhat awe inspiring to think that the survey core scientists had driven this pylon, if not down to the planet’s core itself, well past the mantel and into the molten inner layer. Deep beneath them the scientific marvel of the heat resistant base was taking detailed reading of everything from the carbon dioxide levels of the magma to the speed of the flow of the internal fluids of the planet. At the moment however the mighty pylons of science were made to feel a bit less impressive as the human casually dropped his hand down, scooped Gist’ch up backpack and all and deposited him on the uppermost level of the maintenance walk.
“Seriously lil’ dude,” Human Friend Steve went on. “You know as well as I do that the only reason I was sent on this mission with you instead of that cute little mechanic who keeps preening her eyebrows at you is that my big old body scares away the spider snatching vulture fish. You can chill. I don’t even have to use this.”
The human patted the projectile weapon on his side casually.
“They are just that scared of me. Even if I did have to use it, I’d have plenty of time because they can’t dive worth speaking of, plenty of time to pop one if if went crazy and decided to try for you, did you know-”
“Yes,” Gist’ck gladly and grimly committed the normally socially unpardonable sin of interrupting a friends conversation, partly because he was well aware this human would keep talking for the rest of the day if not interrupted, partly because he really did not want another graphic retelling of the nearly supernatural hunting prowess of whatever Earth fauna was going to be compared to the vulture fish, “I am perfectly aware that on Earth there is no doubt a flying predator that can outperform the vulture fish to such an extent that its presence would not doubt give me just cause to fluff out as you say. Please go fetch the lubricant storage vessel, we will need more than I have here.”
The completely unoffended human set the covering dome of the pylon down beside the main column and strolled off whistling a cheerful tune. Gist’ck stayed puffed out thank you very much. Unlike the humans he felt no need to train his perfectly healthy survival instincts out of himself. The air above him was full of predators that could stoop and eat him, even if he was more than sufficiently protected from them, he would maintain his state of alertness. It would be rank laziness to leave the task of detecting their presence to Human Friend Steve, even if Human Friend Steve offered. Though why the humans he met consistently mistook his state of alertness for vague fear upon seeing how his hairs bristled was a mystery to him.
The work went fairly smoothly and they were able to repair or mitigate the damage the raw power of the planet had done to the pylon quickly. This would likely be their last stop of the day before they made camp so according to protocol Gist’ck was puffed out as much to watch Human Friend Steve for end of the day distraction accidents as he was to keep up his share of their joint situational awareness. Human Friend Steve had just placed the large canister of lubricant back in the transport and was ambling back to put the dome back atop the pylon when his whistling suddenly stopped, his hand dropped to his weapon, and his body twisted so that his binocular eyes could track something above in the blurry distance. Gist’ck shivered, almost at much at the intense predatory energy that Human Friend Steve gave off as at the thought of the vulture fish that was no doubt circling a bit too low for Human Friend Steve’s liking. Gist’ck felt a moment of illogical irritation at the vulture fish’s main food source, a low shrub that produced seeds that just looked a little too much like Trisk anatomy from the perspective of a vulture fish.
“Well,” Human Friend Steve said as he resumed walking back towards the pylon without turning his head away from what Gist’ck assumed to be the vulture fish’s trajectory. “I might just have to eat my words yet. Dang if that scale-skinned abomination wasn’t eyeing you up despite my being-”
His words were interrupted by a resonant boom as the tip of one boot connected with the dome of the plyon. The dome went flipping end over end away over the relatively smooth landscape with a sound that would have been rather humorous to Gist’ck if he hadn’t been distracted by the grunt and look of acute pain that contorted Human Friend Steve’s face for a moment before the human shook out the foot that had impacted the dome and started off at a brisk walk to retrieve the dome.
“Be right back little guy,” Human Friend Steve called back in a pain strained voice.
Gist’ck assumed that, once the dome was retrieved Human Friend Steve would want to begin applying first aid to his injured toes. The concept that the mere swing of a common walking gait carried enough force to damage the delicate workings of the humans motile appendage ends was a bristling concept in of itself, but stubbed toes were something that Gist’ck had come to accept and he scampered down the pylon to have the medical kit ready. He really should scold Human Friend Steve for prioritizing retrieving the dome before applying medical aid to his foot but no doubt the Sister back at the base would have more than a few words for his friend on the subject, so Gist’ck felt comfortable letting the trained medic handle socially necessary shaming.
“Do you want a painkiller?” Gist’ck asked as Human Friend Steve returned, limping, to the transport from securing the dome on the pylon.
“Nah, it’s not bad,” Human Friend Steve said as he bent to scoop Gist’ck up and drop him in the passenger seat. “Come on, stow that stuff and let’s get back to camp.”
Gist’ck stood frozen in confusion for a moment before he pointed down to the human’s foot.
“But your struck the dome with more than enough force to rupture blood vessels or possibly even crack your toe armor!” Gist’ck pointed out, hoping to win the point by sticking to specific details. “You need medical attention.”
“I’ll take care of it back at camp,” Human Friend Steve said with a shrug as he began repacking the medical kit himself.
“You foot is injured now-” Gist’ck began.
“Look,” the human said with another shrug of his shoulders. “If I got to the trouble to take my boots off now, I’ll have to tend to the damage and that will get us back later to camp. I’ll just ignore it and-”
“Ignoring injuries that you cannot see does not negate the necessity of tending to them!” Gist’ck snapped out.
Honestly he was going to get as bad as a winged if he continued to keep company with humans.
“Sure it does,” Human Friend Steve said with a grin. “Now buckle up little buddy, it was my braking foot that got injured.”

The one indicated by the .com ending. If it says "not avaliable in your country" that just means that you need to click over to your Amazon region.
Of course if you want a signed first edition you can email me at the email on my website and I can ship you a signed Author copy of the first edition for the same price as the crowdfunding campaign $35 domestic and $50 overseas. I'll do that until I run out of extra books.
