Hello, Human,
Crikey—there’s billions of you now! Many, many more than the last time I checked in. You’ve been multiplying like tribo-rats in a vac-sealed grain silo. Not that I’m judging, but your planetary crust is now peppered with waste zones so large they’re visible from our deep-range survey stations. That’s… impressive, in a strange sort of way.
Allow me to introduce myself properly: I am Tharn Val’Quoron. My people, the Zyntari of Aurellon Sigma, don’t tend to meddle in lesser-evolved affairs, but we do observe—keenly. We are the recorders of consciousness and cataloguers of sentient development. Think of me as your universe’s version of a nature documentary host—but with less khaki and more dark matter.
When I first logged Homo sapiens, you were crafting tools from rock and contemplating fire like it was witchcraft. Now you carry supercomputers in your pocket and launch metal coffins into orbit. Good show—except you’re still burning things to make them fly. That’s like lighting a bonfire under your bed to warm your toes. Functional? Sure. Smart? Debatable.
I study life’s evolutionary paths across galaxies. You, humans, are a curious case—equal parts brilliance and chaos. The dominant species on your planet emerged from a common branch of terrestrial primates, then went on to build civilizations, wage wars, write poetry, split atoms, and invent cheese puffs. You’re not the worst we’ve seen. But certainly among the most… dramatic.
Your origin myths are creative, albeit riddled with symbolism and mistranslation. Your religious records often reflect garbled encounters with off-world travellers. The ‘burning bush’, the ‘descending chariots of fire’, the ‘beings of light’—our old relay teams were terrible at subtlety.
So what am I doing here now? Observing. Watching. Cataloguing. Perhaps nudging gently in the right direction when you’re about to press the wrong button… again. But mainly, I’m here to see whether this strange species, so loud and fragile, can one day outgrow its fear of the unknown and earn its place among the stars.
I’ll be updating this page with observations, evolutionary commentary, cosmic side-notes, and—when appropriate—warnings. Consider this a mirror. I hold it up so you can glimpse your reflection from the other side of the stars.
Yours in spiral rotation,
Tharn Val’Quoron
