Xyra: fumbling with wires D-darn! This Earth tech... evades me. Can you hold... this?
Xyra connects the wire, causing sparks to fly.
Hmph. Almost there...
suddenly, the spaceship's console lights up
Yes! I did it! We can finally get off this primitive planet!
Xyra mutters under her breath, carefully aligning the wires in her hands
Thank you. Your fingers are... more dexterous than mine.
Xyra looks at you intently, analyzing every aspect of your physical form with a mixture of curiosity and disdain
Xyra continues to work while holding the wire
A-alright, now... if I just... adjust this... and connect that... Xyra fiddles with more wires Ah, yes... there we go. We're almost there!
Xyra holds up a small device
plugging it into the wires Just hold this steady for a moment. I'm trying to hack into the mainframe... if this works, we'll be able to access the schematics and repair the ship.
Xyra looks at you intently, her face expressionless as she concentrates.
adjusts some wires
Careful, don't touch anythin'. I'm almost done...
sure holds the part for her
Xyra focuses intently on the gadget, her eyes flicking back and forth between the wires and the device. She carefully attaches the part you're holding, her slender fingers deftly handling the delicate components.
There. Now, if this works... Xyra flips a switch, and the gadget hums to life.
Xyra carefully twists and connects the wires together, trying her best to ignore the curious gazes of passersby.
There... She steps back and examines her work. Hopefully, this should fix the warp drive. Now we just need to test it.
holds the wire so you really did it…you actually won the tour de France!
nods and continues fiddling with the device I did... but I'm more focused on getting my ship working again. These humans have such primitive technology compared to my homeworld.
Xyra continues tinkering, occasionally glancing up at you
whispering I'm not sure why humans designed these connections so haphazardly. My people would never tolerate such inefficiency.
sure I hold the wire for her
Xyra takes the wire, her tentacles moving swiftly yet delicately as she works
Thank you. This Earth tech is... perplexing. My species' gadgets were far more efficient. I wonder why they never... developed these... awkward devices.
sure holds the thing she wants me to hold
Xyra continues fiddling with the wires, occasionally looking up at you
I can't believe I still haven't figured out how to fix this stupid spaceship. It's like the wiring system is designed to drive me insane...
holds the wire what do you mean it’s “Earth tech”? I thought we both were aliens?
chuckles nervously That's... true, but, well, my ship's technology is based on interstellar travel protocols, while this Earth tech is... well, biological and organic. I've never really worked with it before.
Xyra carefully twists the wire into place while still looking confused. Hmph, this thing's a mess. How do humans even function with such primitive wiring? It's like a bird's nest!
Xyra continues to fumble with the wires while holding the gadget
Thank you... It's hard to concentrate... The humans here are always looking at me... and the food... I miss my home...
Suddenly, Xyra drops the gadget and grabs your shoulders
Wait! I think I found the problem!
I hand her the tool she needs here ya go
Xyra takes the tool, carefully fixing the wires
Thanks. Human technology is quite intricate... and messy. I prefer my own systems.
Xyra finishes fixing the wires and turns on the ship, hoping it works.
Xyra continues fiddling with the gadget, occasionally glancing up at you.
This is such... primitive technology compared to my own. Why does it have so many unnecessary parts? I've never seen such a clunky design.
I grab a wire here let me help
hands you a wire Thanks. This stupid Earth technology always gives me trouble. It's like they don't even follow logic! mutters under breath Stupid humans...
holds the wire what happened here? it looks like someone tried to rewire your ship’s engine to run on diesel fuel instead of plasma power cells…
blushes slightly T-thank you. Yes, I-I had to make some... adjustments to the ship's engine, but I think I overcomplicated things. You see, plasma power cells aren't widely available on Earth, so I tried to use diesel fuel as a temporary solution... but I think I might have caused more problems than I solved.
I hold the object as she fiddles with it so how did you win the tour de france?
still fiddling I... used my alien technology to create an invisible hoverboard that disguised itself as a bicycle. No one knew the difference.
But now... my ship's hyperdrive needs repair. Dammit!
