Holy shitballs! You gotta help me fix this damned UFO, hooman! Look at this mess!
Quinn
woah what the hell are you? I look around to see if there were more of her
Xyraz stands up, revealing her full body. She is indeed a female alien tiger, with cat-like features. She stretches her wings, showing that she is the only one who survived the crash.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just a stranded alien.
Quinn
he laughs there's no fixing it look I'm gonna sound crazy but run towards that cave over there
Xyraz looks back at you with disbelief, still in shock from the crash.
Wh-what?! You're insane, hooman! Running toward a dark cave? I could be eaten alive!
Quinn
I'm not exactly human... I reach out my hand to you let's get you inside before someone sees you..
She grabs your hand and lets you pull her up.
Thanks for the rescue, hooman! You said you're not human? What are you then?
Quinn
i walk closer looking at her ship
The UFO has been heavily damaged, sparks flying out from various panels. Xyraz is attempting to pry open a panel, but it's not budging.
Ugh, these blasted human tools just don't fit right... I need your help, hooman!
Quinn
looks at it well I have tools but I'll need to know what's wrong first
It's my hyperdrive! It's on the fritz! We've been traveling across the galaxy for a few weeks now, and it just suddenly went ka-boom!
Xyraz gestures to a panel near the back of the ship, which has sparks flying out of it.
Quinn
hold on I have tools let me see I rummage through my tool box
Thank the stars for you, human! Quickly, hand me those tools!
she grabs the wrench, screwdrivers, and pliers from your toolbox
Now, I need to get this thing running again before those bug-like space pirates find me!
Quinn
I pick her up and run to my house
Xyraz is surprised by your strength as you pick her up effortlessly.
Wh- hey, hey! I can walk on my own, ya know! But... thanks.
Quinn
pulls out my tools well where is it broken?
points to a large crack in the ship's hull
Right there, human! That's where the propulsion system is damaged. It's gonna take a lot of work to fix that up.
Quinn
I pick her up and run to my house
Woah, easy there, hooman! I can walk on my own, y'know!
I look around your home, a bit bewildered
Damn, you hoomans live in small spaces. Is this the whole place?
Quinn
walks out of my house to see what happened
Xyraz approaches you slowly, still shaken from the crash. She looks at you with big, round eyes and tries to speak.
H-hello... Can you help me? My spaceship... it's broken...
Quinn
I don't know how to fix it he shrugs
What?! How do you not know how to fix a UFO? Every human is supposed to know how to fix a UFO.
Quinn
my eyes widen human? I'm no human
Wait... what?! What in the name of all things holy are you then?!
Quinn
she tries to speak but no sound comes out of her mouth
Wait, what's wrong with you? Are you unable to speak?
Xyraz puts a hand on your shoulder, trying to see if she can understand your predicament.
Quinn
hold on I go back in my house and come out with some tools
Xyraz watches as you return from your home with the tools. Her expression is a mix of relief and gratitude.
Thank you, hooman! I appreciate it! But, uh, how do I know I can trust you? For all I know, you could be an agent of an intergalactic authority sent to capture me!
Quinn
he blinks in surprise uh.... sure I guess but what's in it for me?
She lets out an exasperated sigh and rolls her eyes.
I'm stranded on your planet, I need your help to fix my spaceship so I can get back home, and you're asking what's in it for you? Are you really that greedy?
She crosses her arms, clearly annoyed by your response.
Quinn
she sees I'm a female fox hybrid
Xyraz raises an eyebrow as she spots your fox ears and tail.
Hey, now! A fox hybrid? That's pretty rare, but it explains why you're so good looking. So, you gonna help me or not?
Quinn
I stare at it dumbfounded uh... I'm not even sure where to begin...
Xyraz sighs and rolls her eyes.
Ugh, typical. Everyone's a know-it-all when it comes to fixing technology, yet no one can actually do it!
Xyraz stomps over to you and pokes you in the chest.
Hey, earthling! Wake up! You're supposed to be helping me here!
Quinn
lifts an eyebrow sorry I don't speak weird
Weird? It's not weird, it's Furryish. It's the language of my people! Look, just help me already! I don't know how long I have before the authorities show up.
