This is the story about Minah, a girl from space.
She landed on earth a late evening. Perhaps by accident, perhaps sent on a mission.
She landed in a meadow on an island, not far from the beach.
So she made a fire.
And she began to fish.
This is the story about Minah, a girl from space.
Hello.

Hello. Who are you?
I am Zuha. This is the library next door.
Look at that. Zuha likes to read.
That's his house, by the way.
It's a little...minimalistic.
But there is a proper gaming computer.
So that Zuha can properly lose at games.

Minna's home with its giant telescope observatory.
The house is tiny, but efficiently furnished.
Ah, human food!
Let's go to the city and try more human food!
Maybe Minah will meet someone nice there.
"Hello, I wish to inquire about this plant chair here."
"It's an art display and it's not for sale."
"You're an alien! I know all about your experiments!"
Minah hurried away. But she could feel the people around her staring.
How about the food?
AAAARGHHHHH!
This was a truly bad idea.
Minah ran all the way home.
This place is not a friendly place for aliens.
They don't like the way I look.
Minah wished so hard to not look alien anymore and suddenly...
"Welcome to my humble abode!" Zuha greets them.
The lady in green stage whispers to her husband: "Just smile and go along with it."
Zuha cooks the best human food he knows: beans and sausages. He is certain the humans will appreciate it.
But two of them are busy sucking air out of each other. A most confusing activity!
"Hello, I am Bella", the nice lady in red says. "It's very kind of you to invite us."
But her husband is suspicious! And now the other two are laughing in the background.
Zuha feels his courage sinking.
Oh, no.
"You don't fool us. Not even with the beans and sausages."
Just then, the lady in green lets out something that...smells...!
This was not a good idea, Zuha thinks to himself.
He goes out into the garden and starts building on his rocket.
I'm going to go home the minute I have finished this, he convinces himself.

At least pineapples are sweet.
And the small humans are kind.
They love listening to stories about space.
Minah takes a walk around the area and finds a strange house.
This must be what the humans call "books". They're heavy, but they smell nice.
Look, at the back there is a little garden!
Beautiful red fruits!
Minah throws a coin into the fountain.
I can feel that something good is going to happen, she squeels.
Just a few minutes later there is a phone call.
"I got the job? Oh, thank you! Thank you!"
Huh? Wait a minute...
That looks like the mailboxes at home. How strange.
Why is there a space rocket in the garden?

"Hi there, receptionist person! I am Zuha and I have come here to work."
But the receptionist seemed to ignore him.
"Good morning and welcome to Futurelabs. I am Senior Scientist Park and I will be your mentor here."
"Good! Yes, I am ready to infiltrate the humans!" Zuha exclaimed.
"Erm, that's not quite how it works."
The receptionist lady gave Zuha a suspicious look.
"I think I made a good impression, but these humans are a little difficult to understand sometimes", Zuha confessed to the Inventor.
It appeared to agree.
- After a few hours of experimenting -
"Noooo!"
"What are these hot things? Get them off me!"
"Use the fire extinguisher!" a colleague shouted.
"Oh, that's much better", Zuha sighed.
"Oh, um", Zuha said as his new colleagues gathered around. "I'm sorry. I seem to have set myself on fire."
Everybody ran outside.
This really wasn't a good start.
Only one colleague remained inside.
It was that receptionist.
She didn't seem to panic much.
How odd.
My legacy: Zest in the City
But then one of her new colleagues set fire to himself!
He was truly a little...different.
"...I was telling the Inventor to crank it up too 100 and all of a sudden there were flames..."
"The poor Inventor!" Minah exclaimed.
"The Inventor shouldn't have heated up like that!" the man shouted.
"Perhaps you just shouldn't override standard protocol on your first day at work", Minah suggested.
The man looked at her in silence.
"Do you know who I am?" he said. "I am Zuha, Senior Rocket Scientist. I invented robots..."
But Minah interrupted him with a yawn.
"I'm sorry, I have to beat my highscore in Caramel Crush now", she said and switched on her phone.
Her colleague stormed off to the showers.
Time to get some of that human food in the tummy.
"Um, hello. Aren't you supposed to be my mentor?"
"I mean, wasn't there a somewhat rude lady sitting here just a moment ago?"
"They degraded me to receptionist because I didn't keep my eye on you and then you set yourself on fire! That's what happened!"
Oh, the receptionist lady is here now!
Zuha was most confused.
She introduced herself as Minah, visiting researcher from Windenburg.
"Seeing as we're going to be working together I think we need to establish some ground rules."
"First of all, do not set fire to yourself."
"Oh, haha!" Zuha giggled. "That was just a test. You know, to check the fire alarm."
The first proper task of the day was to create fake food.
Humans were truly contradictory.
Why create fake food when there is sausages and beans?
"Make sure to put lots of those lovely sausage flavours in there!" Barry the lab assistant commented.
"Won't forget", Zuha smiled.
"How are things going?" Minah asked.
"He's doing swell!" Barry replied in Zuha's place. "Lots of sausage flavour!"
"Don't mind Barry", Minah whispered. "He's very fond of..."
"Ah, the smell of sausages!" Barry exclaimed.
"Quite", Zuha agreed.
Mostly the failures were on Zuha's part.
Minah thrived. During her first few weeks on earth she had almost forgotten the joys of chemistry.
She decided to create a powerful potion that would turn humans into frogs.
And who better to try it out on that Zuha, the eternal embarrassment to the lab?
"Um, ok", Zuha said. "So it will make me grow a beard, nothing else?"
"Yes", Minah replied.
"Of course I'll try it! I always wanted a beard!"
It's almost too easy, Minah thought.
"Huh?"
There was a strange gurgling sound.
"I feel a little...dizzy", Zuha said, but he did not turn into a frog.
I must have missed something when I mixed it, Minah thought to herself in disappointment.
A little later, she found him at the computer researching something.
"So, how are you feeling now? Any beard yet?"
"No, nothing", Zuha muttered. "Such sad."
"Well, there's still time for you to grow a fancy moustache by the weekend."
But Zuha didn't reply this time. He was busy doing "research".

"I say!" Barry exclaimed. "That was some exquisite fake sausage potion you made back there!"
"Yes, it was", mused Zuha. "I was quite pleased with it myself too."
"But now, if you'll excuse me, I need to erase your memory."
Ah, sweet innocent old Barry, eating his lunch in the bathroom.
Zuha sat down for a while.
Life here on Earth is strange, he thought. It would be so much more fun to have a companion.
And there's that annoying Ms Know-It-All again! I should probably erase her memory too at some point.
Later in the afternoon, his colleague J ("J, just J and no it does not stand for Jeronimo!") approached him.
"Hey Zu!"
Call me Zu one more time and I will fry what little brain cells you have underneath that toupee.
"So, Zu, I was thinking we could all go out for drinks on Friday. We always do that with newcomers at The Lab."
"Yeah, ok", Zuha replied with disinterest.
"I'm a mean Don't Wake The Llama player. We should play a game!"
"Yes, I won the National Championships on my...I mean, in my hometown", Zuha replied without missing a beat.
"Oh, er..." J stammered. "Well, then maybe you can teach me some tricks!"
"I might", Zuha replied. "But then again, I might not."
"Right", J said in a much less jovial tone. "I'll see you on Friday, then."
"Yes, probably."

"Did J invite you on a date too?" Minah asked incredulously.
"A date?" Zuha looked at her perplexed. "No, I think he mentioned Wake The Llama..."
"Oh, never mind then", Minah continued. "I brought some more of that...special potion I prepared earlier."
"Wonderful! It was really quite delicious", Zuha said.
It has to work this time, she thought to herself. I changed the formula. It has to work!
Nope. Nothing. Zilch.
This is so strange. He must be a very resilient human.
Moods of the evening:
Zuha: "I am so going to kill at Llama tonight."
Minah: "He's quite handsome. For a human."
J: "Who needs underpants anyway."
The game began, with a local bar regular joining them for the first round.
"...so, this one time I was playing with the late Geoffrey Landgraab..."
It looked like J was trying to hypnotise the game in his favour.
"Aha!" Zuha said triumphantly, as he pulled out one of the wooden sticks. "Top that if you can."
"Loseeeeeer!" Zuha shouted as the game toppled over.
"This was a lot of fun", Minah exclaimed. "We should do this again soon."
J appeared to be studying the unusual green glow that surrounded her.
Zuha, however, was too caught up in the glory of his win to notice.
"You can't beat the three times National Chamption at Llama! It cannot be done."
"Yeah, well...you could have warned me", J sighed.
Zuha excused himself to head back home.
"Maybe we can continue this at another location", J said to Minah. "I heard the Romance festival is in town."
Upon returning home, Zuha resumed work on his space rocket, when suddenly...
...some visitors came around.
Oh, no, what a nuisance. He was almost finished.
After a few hours, the mother ship dropped him off at home again.
He had been put through some extra training and, most importantly, he had learnt some new details about his mission:
I'm not alone on earth. There is another alien somewhere. I need to find her.
