"That sounds way better than crawling around in them myself. I'm not sure I would fit after all." Lockon was by no means a short person. Trying to cram six feet of man into a ventilation shaft seemed like a good recipe for getting stuck. "A papen? What's that?"
Pepens are cute robotic birds that cannot fly and wobble around instead! They're pretty small and should fit into a small gap without much difficulty. They're native to several of the ice planets around Cosmic Ark, but I heard Earth has similar birds too!
I have two of them. They're pretty smart for animals, so if I tell them to find Haro, they should be able to do that!
"Oh, like a penguin! I see. That...sounds pretty cool actually, no pun intended. If it wouldn't be to much trouble, if you could dispatch them for me, I could give up the search myself and have some dinner." He paused for a moment. "Do you... eat food? I mean, I don't know much about your kind, and I do apologize if I offend you."
It's okay, Mr Lockon. I'm happy you want to learn more about us, and there's nothing offensive about this! We eat too, just different food than humans. From things found here, on Earth... Batteries, mostly.
"I should have known!" He laughed. "I think it's quite interesting honestly! I've never met someone like you before." He grinned wide, and warm. "I'm thankful for your help as well. Haro is a person to me, he is part of me, and I like to think I'm part of him. Some people think it's strange, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you of all people don't think that's weird."
Well, apart from Jack Barlock and his crew I'm the first person from my galaxy to arrive on Earth, so it's not very likely that you met someone like me before!
And it's not weird at all. Haro is your good friend!
