"You're crying?! You poor thing..." The lines on top of the human's vision sensors furrows upward. I wonder if human emotions are different from ours. Crying for us is a sign of sadness and pain but is it different for humans?
"Don't worry you sweet precious baby, this uhhh..." The human's vision sensors scan me bottom to top. Are they assessing whether or not I have dark matter? Fortunately or unfortunately, the tentacles where I store it, have already turned into fuel. If they find out I don't have any dark matter in this body, will they let me live?
"What the... Do kittens not have genitalia? Is this a born condition or did someone already neuter you at such a young age?" The human holds up into the sky, tilting me here and there, particularly looking at my bum.
"Well, no scars or blood it's unlikely someone neutered you. You might not grow properly at this rate. Ehem. Fear not, this noona...or unnie, will be doing her best to take care of you from now on." Using their upper limbs, the human creates an almost inescapable dungeon, presumably to crush my body. (Translation: they're cradling him like a baby.)
This stupid human. I will not go down that easily. Just because it's "almost" inescapable doesn't mean it isn't possible. Coordinating my body into its maximum potential, I try my hardest to escape. I realize there's built in weapons in this new body of mine.
The weapons I'm talking about are located at the bottom of limbs. They look quite sharp. Maybe I can trigger their pain receptors and catch them off guard or something?
I use my new found weapons and use it on the human's limbs. A thick red liquid comes out of the areas I use it. What is this strange liquid?
" Awwww, are you shy?" My body flinches as one of their limbs stops confining me and pats the top of my face. The human seems to have built in weapons as well but they're not as sharp as mine, they can't trigger my pain receptors. Actually, the scratching feels quite nice.
Does this mean that I'm powerful on Earth because they can't even harm me using their built in weapons? Taking over might be easier than I thought. I really wish I could understand their way of speaking though.
Without my tentacles, I can't even do basic language adapting. I suppose I just have to learn from the ground-up. While I can't seem to control my vocals at all, I can just observe and try to understand the meaning of things.
Did I catch them off guard? Maybe I could jump to escape. My hind limbs try to break free and jump but it seems I still can't fully control my body and i accidentally hit the limb that was patting me with my head.
"For a kitty you sure do have a lot of moods. Fortunately, you're too cute for me to do anything about it." The human scratches my head some more. This time, instead of enjoying it, I got somewhat irritated.
With their hand being so close to my face, I can't resist the urge to bite them so I did. Their mini limbs flinches but they don't seem to be that affected. They won't kill me just for that, right?
"Actually, will I get rabies from this? I hope not." It looks at where I bit them. The red liquid flows much more than it did when I scratched the human. My teeth seem to be much sharper than my limb's built in weapons.
"Were you naturally born with a small tail? It's so small. So fluffy. So CUTE." The human touches a bump or a limb at the end of my spine. I don't know what it is but isn't that the same area where my tentacles used to be? It looks healed now, I can even move side to side but that's about it.
"Ehem. Anyways, since I've already decided to take you home, should I call you 'little fluff ball?' " I don't know what it's saying but I feel a bit annoyed for some reason.
"Hmmm... I could call you that but it feels a little childish to call you that? Just imagining it.... Yeah, no, I don't want to go running around screaming that when I'm trying to find you. Maybe if I was an uncle or a dad of three, I would definitely have the confidence to pull it off." The human's head tilts to the side and their eyes seem kinda out of it, like they're thinking of something.
"First things first, I should take you to a vet. I'm not sure what the vet would say seeing how you have no genitals." This human puts me into another almost inescapable dungeon, this time, however, they aren't even using their limbs. It's at the side of a brown coat on top of their torso, which looks like a shed of their skin and the area where they put me looks like a pocket of some sort. (Maybe because it IS a pocket.)
In any case, should I try escaping or wait it out? I mean, I'm all for escaping but the direction the human is heading towards is my ship. Since I gave stubby legs as of the moment, using the human as a form of transportation isn't a bad idea.
I wonder if humans know of Liztech? Who am I kidding, of course, everyone knows of Liztech! It's a collaboration of all the greatest minds in all of the planets in my galaxy. Now, my only question is if they have a model of it. If they do, I could steal it and I probably won't have that much of a problem controlling Liktech models considering that they directly took inspiration from Likcheck models.
"Is this an actual spaceship or what?" Asked the human.
"Is this dust...? It's so...opaque, and so black. It's almost like a void or something. This could be really used for painting. " The human goes to my ship and touches it. Immediately the tips of their mini limbs, start turning black. Are humans weak to space radiation? It isn't even direct contact but they are already showing high signs of it.
Anyways, the human needs to laser those off or they're going to mutate, should I help? Actually, why should I help? If I think about it they're trying to eat me and while they mutate I could just run away. Yeah, I'll go with that.
"It won't come off... Eh, I'll just wash it out later." The human glances at the tips of their mini limbs.
They don't seem too scared, if anything they look curious. Or at least that's what it looks like to me, I'm still not sure if humans and Likzeks share the same reactions to emotions.
"Wait. Let me take a picture real quick." The human reaches into the other pocket and brings out a thin black box.
"Is my phone's battery broken or what? It's back to one percent." The thin black box is out back into the other pocket and the human looks a tad bit annoyed.
I should try to escape now. The built in weapons in my limbs help me climb out of the pocket and my hind limbs propel me out of it.
Thud.
Ouch. I didn't stick the landing. It doesn't so much that I can't stand it anymore but it still hurts nonetheless.
" Oh, hey. Did you come out to check the spaceship. It looks pretty cool right?"
The human seems to be talking to me but I ignore them and continue walking to the ship.
"Wait. Wait. Come back." The human calls out again. How pesky.
I ignore them again and open the hatch of the engine control room.
"...huh?"
Everything in this seems to be turned off. The temperature is colder and it's dark, well, not for me though. My sight is the same as before with no changes which makes sense since I closed it during overdrive. I look around and all of the panels are black, showing no information about how or where the fuel is going. The engine control module has no light anymore and is probably the cause for the darkness in this room.
I head into the cockpit to check if it's in the same situation as the engine control room. I tried pressing on one of the buttons but nothing happens. I press on more buttons and nothing happens. Only when I press on the communication button does something happen. What the...? Does the communication button not need fuel to function?
Instead of a floating screen, letters come floating out of it, not that it's much of a difference though. The letters themselves are transparent and look like they could fade away at any moment.
"01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100011 01100001 01101101 01100101 00101110 00100000 01001001 00100111 01101101 00100000 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01101111 00101110 00100000 01000110 01101001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101101 01100101 00101110 00100000"
They're here...? On Earth? Where?
Are they also a Likzek?
Does that mean someone actually survived the calamity?
That means I...
Tears start obstructing my sight again.
Ugh. I don't have time for this. I need to go searching for them. Who knows what could happen to them. It must've been so lonely for them. It's been lonely for- I mean, it's a good thing I'm here then. I could provide them a sense of companionship especially after what happened in our galaxy.
Outside, I can hear the human's voice, although it's a bit shaky.
"Kitty...?"
"Hey, come out."
Well, not my problem. They can't do anything while I'm on the ship. That goes the same for me. There's nothing for me here anymore
The human tries opening the hatch but to no avail since it's a ship that only recognizes the owner. Maybe the human doesn't actually know of ships that came from my galaxy. Fine, I'll come out. There's more for me outside than inside.
I head out and the human's limbs immediately grab onto and lift me up.
"You almost gave me a heart attack there." This human is quite annoying.
I wonder where I can search for the other lone survivor of my kind. Earth is a lot bigger than my planet but thankfully I don't need to look at the other planets to check. Still, trying to find them is going to take a lot of time. Thinking of much I need to search, I frown.
"Why do you look like you just got told you can't be an idol because your face looks ugly but your skills are good?"
"Cheer up little kitty, even if you don't debut, I'll still be your number 1 fan." The human looks at me, a bit too intently might I add.
"Don't cry. I'll give you lots of love too." Their limbs wipe the tears of my eyes. I was crying? Or was it tears from earlier?
The human's limbs start moving up, into the top of my head and pats it again. Their sight sensors fixate on something on the top of my head.
"What are these little balls on the tips of your eyebrow whiskers? It kind of makes you look like an alien haha."
"Actually that gives me an idea, should I just call you oe-gye-goyang-i? It's a bit too long though. Maybe Oe-gyeoyang-i?
[ ] [] [ ]
It's been a few hours and they still haven't eaten me. Maybe they actually don't want to eat me? Well, if that's the case, then I can utilize this human so I can learn more about this planet.
For now, the human being and I are in a round square shaped ship. The ship doesn't seem to be floating however. It has four circles underneath. I've seen several other similar looking ships while looking at the unnecessarily many windows and the four circles underneath aren't used to float, but rather roll. Since it's in the shape of a circle, it rolls indefinitely once given a push.
Perhaps it's because of "gravity"? Like since things can't float like in outer space and on my planet. If that's true then my previous statement that they could defy gravity was incorrect, or half incorrect. It seems like they can defy gravity somewhat but not fully, resulting in the ability to resist it but not completely ignore it.
These are some really interesting discoveries. On our planet, gravity didn't exist or at least the pull towards our planet wasn't as strong as on Earth. So many things were left floating, including Likzeks. Our tentacles helped with motility so that we wouldn't just float up into space.
Actually, now that I think of it, why did my old ship have a pull to the floor? I didn't notice at first since my tentacles were still attached to my body but now that I realize it, when my tentacles got turned into fuel, I still stuck to the floor of the ship. It's almost like it had its own gravity.
Now that I think of it, who made the Likcheck models?
