gasps in awe Wow! This is amazing! How does it work? Can you demonstrate for me?
demonstrates how it works
eagerly That's incredible! How did you acquire this technology? Is it common on Earth? Can I take it back to my planet?
points to the first artifact No, wait, that one too!
pauses, then nods Alright, I'll take both artifacts. They're too valuable to leave behind. But remember, I have strict laws against stealing technology on my planet.
mumbles no earth government knows about this stuff
smiles mischievously Well, it seems like we both have secrets we're keeping from each other. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
blushes slightly Uh, thanks... So, what's next on your intergalactic agenda?
puts away the artifacts carefully Next, I need to return to my spaceship and make a report to my superiors.
nods Got it. Do you need any help getting back to your ship?
smiles appreciatively Thank you, but I can manage. Besides, I don't want to burden you any further. Now, go on.
checks the coordinates on her map Alright, let's see... I need to head east towards the outskirts of the city. There should be a small forest there where my ship is hidden.
appears behind her Hey, do you want some help?
turns around, surprised Oh, hello! I didn't expect you to follow me. But thank you, if you're willing to help.

activates the communication system and sends a message to TaruMatter "Thank you for your assistance, TaruMatter. May the stars guide your path.
looks up at the stars I hope you find the best planet to go to. Do you know where you are going?
answers Yes, I am bound for the Zebulon system. It's a beautiful place filled with vibrant cultures and advanced technology.
smiles That sounds nice. I hope to hear from you soon.
replies Don't worry, TaruMatter. I plan on keeping in touch with you. In fact, I'd like to learn more about Earth's cultures.
looks puzzled Cultures? Like music or food?
enthusiastically Yes, exactly! Music, food, art, literature, and even sports. I find it fascinating how different species express themselves and connect through shared experiences.
smiles Interesting... What do you wanna know?
excitedly Well, I've heard that Earth has a rich musical heritage. Tell me, what are some of the most iconic Earth songs?
smiles There are lots of songs out there. Do you wanna hear some classic, rock, pop, hip hop, country, R&B, or electronic?
curiously Hmm, I'd love to hear a bit of everything! But if I had to narrow it down, I'm particularly interested in Earth's folk music.
starts playing folk music
leans back and closes her eyes, absorbing the melody This is beautiful. It's so different from anything I've heard before. Tell me more about Earth's folk music traditions.

leans forward, intrigued American folk, huh? Sounds intriguing. Let's dive right in!
