Hello, Siren's Port. I come before you with a desperate plea.

[Visser One is no fool. First she takes a few hours to scan the networks and sort through enormous amounts of archived data. What she finds is interesting: evidence of Earth mythological figures, inhuman creatures proudly identifying as alien. People obviously from worlds far more advanced than Earth.

Still, she chooses anonymity. No sense in publicly humbling herself and exposing her Achilles Heel.]

I am a new arrival to this world in serious need of help. My species needs a certain kind of sustenance that we can't find outside of our home world.

I need help, or I will die.

I need someone with highly advanced technological capabilities to help me. Fortunately, I have the means to feed myself temporarily, which you can adapt for your purposes in creating a larger generator. Without it, I will starve to death painfully within a week.

Please, I beg you. Compensation will be given in whatever manner I'm capable, once I can concentrate on anything other than survival. I assure you, I am far from helpless, and will pay my debt in full. Anyone who chooses to assure my long-term survival stands to gain much from the bargain.

To know what this substance is.

I'm no fool. This would leave my life in your debt. What can I expect to be asked in the future?

Perhaps we could discuss encryption and coding - yours are better than mine.

[Perhaps. Edriss is extremely wary of giving all her secrets to a human, though- after all, it was kindness to the little people that let her species leave their world and conquer the stars.

And humans are far more adaptable than Yeerks.]

Perhaps. If I had access to technology from other worlds, perhaps, the scope of what I could bring to the conversation would widen. A long shot, but I can never be satisfied with what I already know.

[She wants to learn more, always. Since there's really no way to go about this other than to give him what he wants, in the spirit of fair trade, Edriss is content to teach him something beyond his simple (if above average for humans) knowledge. It's fine. No good teacher ever teaches someone everything they know.]

Then you are in luck, as there are those from many worlds here, and we can replicate tech.

Fantastic.

Will you be at the House?

If needed.

What is your experience here? What qualifies you to synthesize an alien substance and have any confidence that it will even work?

I'm a medical doctor. There are roughly a dozen alien species from my home world I've worked with.

You should come! It will be like a party. A science and making-things party.

Let me know when, and I should be able to make it.

She said 'before noon'. Be here at eleven thirty, and if my approximation of the colloquialism is wrong, you can have lunch while you wait.

Thank you. I will be there.

Eleven thirty is a good possibility. I can't promise exact punctuality, considering that I've only been here for three hours.

Understandable. I'll see you soon.
