The creature looked very much like a wasp, very insectile, articulated, inscrutable. Very buzzy. It tilted its head down in a way that should have been quite awkward, but was instead perfectly smooth and mechanically precise. Well, you get this sort of thing with aliens, the unnerving bodily movements, the strange smells, the general… well, alien-ness of them. It looked down at me, and amid the low polyphonic buzzing noises, a voice came, though honestly I never figured out if that voice came from some translation device or was crafted from a superposition of thousands of different pitches of buzz. Frankly, it got annoying sometimes, the buzzing.
