Captain Zellnor has confirmed the crew members to be Humans.

Many of the other crew members are worried, mainly because of the graphic stories we have heard about humans. From their ability to survive anything to their odd rituals.

But, perhaps we are wrong to assume.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Xylion had never felt more nervous in his long life than at this moment. He was waiting with Captain Zellnor as they awaited the new arrivals.

"What do you think these creatures will be like, sir?" Xylion asked, smoothing down the outfit he was required to wear for his position on the ship.

Captain Zellnor was silent for a bit before he responded. "From what I've heard about humans, they are very loyal, curious, smart, yet the exact opposite of all of those at the same time. They can be extremely idiotic, yet they are revered for their vast knowledge. Many times through the small pieces of history they have provided the Universal Space Legion, mass amounts of betrayal are portrayed and shown. And their curiosity can also be subdued. It all depends on what they want to do, not what we want them to do. Not only that, but some things that would normally wound one of any numerous species out there won't have any effect on them. Like caffeine, for example. Where it would kill me in a heartbeat, they'd get over-energetic."

Xylion felt a shiver run through his spines. "Are you sure about recruiting them then, sir?" He questioned, looking up to his superior.
While he trusted everything his captain said, he was wary of this new species. If they were everything his captain said they were, then why would anyone want them?

"Well, Xylion, while they do seem like odd choices, they will be beneficial to us."

"How so?"

"The bond humans form with other species outside and within their own is extraordinary. Some of the different spies sent to observe them over the years have said that they often cry over a loss, even when what passed is outside it's own species. They could be extremely good in any combat situation as well. See, from what humans call 'scientists' have told us, the thing they call a brain shuts off their strength so they don't end up hurting themselves or others around them. However, from what we have seen in life or death situations, this seems to turn off. They are terrifying at that point." Captain Zellnor said, his scales turning to a shade of black. He was scared.

Xylion looked out the large glass window at the cement world around the ship. The humans, while a relatively young species, had managed to tame their world. He was surprised their ship had made it onto the surface. Something began to fall from the sky, and light streaks would light up the sky and the sound of explosions sounded soon after they went on by. However, the human communication center reassured them they were fine. Their ship was not metallic. Xylion didn't know what that had to do with it, but he was thankful nonetheless. "So the humans are...monsters?" He questioned, focusing back on the conversation he was having.

"From what I've heard, they do seem it. However, the human leaders reassured the Universal Space Legion that they were not at all dangerous to those they trusted. So long as we don't betray their trust, we should be fine." He said, his body returning to it's neutral white.

Xylion looked up as he watched strange boxes coming towards the ship. Wheels were turning as they seemed to propel them forward. Xylion heard Captain Zellnor straighten his badge next to him. "Looks like they have arrived, Xylion. Are you ready to meet your fellow crew members?"

"As ready as I'll ever be, sir."

Xylion stood at the front of the ship with the rest of the crew around him. They were relatively small, with only ten of them including the Captain. Now, four more would be joining them.

He looked towards one human as it walked towards them. They were dress in black and had some strange red material protruding from their neck. Unlike many Alien species, this human had no fur or scales, and instead had what looked like the underbelly to a Grangle, an alien covered in fur. Their stomach's did not have fur, and instead had a soft material. It was their weak spot.

The human looked at Zellnor and put his appendage that looked somewhat like an arm up with his forehead, the small, second appendage sticking straight forward. Captain Zellnor nodded his head, his snout almost touching his chest.

The human touched some sort of flesh sticking out the side of it's head and touched the strange black piece inside of it. His mouth moved, and Xylion caught the words. "Everything seems all well and good, bring them out."

Xylion watched as a door opened on the strange wheeled boxes. He watched as four more humans walked out. Xylion frowned as he looked at them.

The tallest of them had large arms and looked like he had a few marks over his flesh. They were lighter, so he thought perhaps they were a color deficiency. Over all, however, his flesh was darker, the darkest out of everyone there. His hair, as human's called it, though it just looked like long fur, was almost nonexistent. From what Xylion could see of it, it was black and grew close to his head.

The second tallest was also a man. His hair was a light color, almost yellow. His flesh, however, unlike the taller one, was on the opposite side of the color spectrum. While it did have some sort of tone to it, it was practically white. The human had strange goggles over his eyes, and he didn't seem the least bit bothered by them! Xylion knew goggles always annoyed him, so he wondered how this human was withstanding them.

The third human was odd. He assumed it was either an oddly shaped man, or perhaps one of the females. They had red hair and strange dots splattered all across their round face. From their eyes, their nose, and even their mouth, everything was round! It was almost like looking at a circle! Xylion frowned at the strange bulges on their chest and the oddly busty thing on their behind. Clearly they were not the same as the men. They had to be female then, right?

The last human was quite short, a tiny bit taller than the female. Their hair was dark as well and fell all over their face. However, Xylion could see the dark pools of their eyes and brown colored skin they had. He was somewhat shocked to see so many different colors of humans, actually. His species consisted of three colors: green, blue, and red. He was lucky enough to have a calm shade of green, rather than the vibrant red.

Xylion watched as Zellnor walked over to them and introduced himself. He towered over the tallest human, his long neck and face adding most of his height.

"Is that a giraffe?" The shorter male whispered to the questionable female.

The questionable female put a finger to her mouth and made some weird noise. Xylion hadn't heard it before.

"I'm Zellnor, and who might you all be?"

The tallest one barred his mouth, revealing rows of white bones. "Mason. Mason Powers."

The light one held his appendage out to Zellnor, as if expecting something. "Fredrick Matthews. A pleasure to meet you."

The questionable one also barred her white bones. "Jennifer Adams, but please, call me Jenny!"

The last one gave them another one of those freaky teeth showings, and threw his appendages up in the air. "Isaac! Isaac Browne!"

Captain Zellnor nodded. "Are you ready to join our crew, humans?"

"Sure!" Human Jennifer said, clasping their hands together.

Captain Zellnor motioned for them to come aboard.

What's you guys think?

As said before, this is a Tumblr series I began writing under the Humans are Weird tag, and it got pretty popular so I figured I might as well put it on Wattpad, and many others agreed.

Also, if you're coming from Tumblr, welcome!

I have many different stories, so if you want to view them, then go on ahead and do so!

Anyways, see you all later!
