Arlow Tsai is a great guy (really). Around the time space aliens became known to the human race, Arlow was informed about something strange. Copies of him were appearing around the multiverse. When he found out that he was in line for huge inherit...
Arlow is dizzy, and parts of him and the clothes give off wisps of smoke. The sterilization process was very painful, but feels like a distant memory (of only two minutes ago). He has an extensive amount of ethanol in his system because he told them many days ago that ethanol was a safe organic compound. Sterilization had converted everything that was not Arlow Tsai DNA/RNA based organics into ethanol.
There are unusual and odd noises in his ears. Arlow's galactic core translation device is dead and unrepairable. The Wroug Woman that had been caring for him was there.
Many odd noises and then Arlow is dropped in a chair at a large table. The Wroug men leave. The Wroug Woman smiles from across the table and pushes forward some papers.
Arlow looks around. Across from him is a glass window. There are the there are the Lan women ("1", "2", "3"). They hold their hands in a human gesture that Arl has shown them. Two hands to create a 'heart" at chest level. Arl's joy is immense, since he was sure he would never see them again (also ethanol). They drop their hands.
The Wroug Woman makes sounds and points to something on the paper. While pointing she makes a sound for each time see moves a finger. There are eight choices.
Arl looks to the elLans and sees they have some eyes closed and some open. He chooses a number based on binary. The Wroug Woman makes a grunt and points to a different choice. Arl then gets it. The Lan use the opposite manner for digits. Their eye's closed/open patterns are telling me which selections to make. She flips the paper over, and I get visual signs of approval from all four by getting the answer correctly understood. They elLans use their hands to show the 'heart" symbol.
This process continues mostly by pantomime. The Wroug Woman makes noises while showing a projection on a wall. Arl gives ascent to each choice based on the elLans behind the glass.
The Wroug Woman approaches and brings up a device. She demonstrates a hand coming down on the device, and at one point moves Arl's wrist in that way (but does not force the hand down). Arl looks to the elLans (still 'heart' hands). Arl gets it. They must not force him to place his hand on the device.
He shows purpose in his seated position, looks and says "I so attest"; and places a hand on the device.
The Wroug Woman leaves. She is a little shaky, but smiles.
The three elLans change hand positions. Now they have the "offer to extend hands" that Arl had used once. Arl is unsteady and crawls onto the table. Laying flat, he looks to the elLans. He lifts an arm outreached towards them. The dizziness grows. A tear drips off one eye to the table, and Arl collapses unconscious.
The elLans loss any trace of a smile. Their arms drop purposely to their sides.
They have collected video and audio from Arl. They have edited quite a few short evocative presentations and texts. These elLans stand connected to the Lan data feed. The widest data pipe for reaching biped beings all over the galaxy. They have a cause. They are ready.
First posted message title: "Save Arlow Tsai. Now!!! BEFORE HE DIES!!"
These elLans are devoted to social causes. The foundations of complacency anywhere/everywhere in the Galaxy will rumble today. Three elLans will make sure of it.
