“Hey. What's your ship's name, anyway?'

'Blip-A.'

'No, I mean. What do you call it?'

'Ship.'

'Your ship has no name?'

'Why would ship have name, question?'

'I shrugged. 'Ships have names.'

He points to my pilot's seat. 'What is name of you chair, question?'

'It doesn't have a name.'

'Why does ship have name but chair no have name, question?'

'Never mind. Your ship is the Blip-A.'

'That is what I said. Flash in ten seconds.'

'Copy.”

“Good good. Enough talk. Check breeder tanks, please.'

'Yeah, yeah. Let me get some water first.'

He bounces and skitters down his tube to the lab. 'Why humans need water so much, question? Inefficient life-forms!'

...

'Eiridians need water too, you know.'

'We keep inside. Closed system. Some inefficiencies inside, but we get all water we need from food. Humans leak! Gross!'

I laugh as I float in to the lab where Rocky is waiting. 'On Earth, we have a scary, deadly creature called a spider. You look like one of those, just so you know.'

'Good. Proud. I am scary space monster. You are leaky space blob.”

“I'm all wired up, but if I don't go to sleep soon, Rocky will start hassling me. Sheesh- you almost ruin a mission one time and all of a sudden you have an alien-enforced bedtime.”
