You are a Grey. One of those little extraterrestrials that abduct people for no seeming reason. There is a reason, however, and the reason is SCIENCE! What else? You abduct people, do science, and try to avoid the local X-Com. What do you do? What should you do? Are combustible lemons possible? Find out the right way, i.e, screwing with humans!

So, go ahead, fire up the tractor beam, and ready the scanners, 'cause we're going abducting!

Welcome to this SG, where you abduct people puny earthlings for science points, the bread and butter of your empire. Max out !!SCIENCE!! for new things for your ship. This will be mostly open ended, with little specific inventories. In addition, this is fairly low priority, so updates might be infrequent. Enjoy the show!

[Pavellius]

Abduct a farmer and scan him. Repeatedly. See how many scans it takes before the scan-rays shrink his brain (or melt his eyeballs).

[Maegil]

Stick a probe in every orifice and take measurements. Find out which parts of the Earthling's anatomy are being used to produce that loud vibrating "mmwuooooooh" sound.

Also abduct a cow. The hoomen seems to have been tending to those things.

Your craft speeds into the lower atmosphere, abruptly coming to a halt by a field of spotted creatures. Slowly speeding up toward the nearest puny earthling's dwelling, autopilot prepares the experimentation room. Floating above a dwelling, 'farmhouse', you activate the tractor beam for a fraction of a second, rattling the wooden construction. Lights shine through the windows, and a resident clutching a pathetic slug accelerator steps out, staring at the might of your UFO. The tractor beam glows with a strange blue glow, and the creature flails about in it's grip, losing the weapon it had held. It enters your UFO in the normal fashion, immediately injected with anesthetic, and falling flat. It is quickly ferried over to the experimentation room by internal tractor beams, where you await.

You scan the creature, producing a readout on the holographic display:
Subject: #001-A
Species: Puny Earthling
Notes: Oddly fat
Profession: Sustenance Producer
Deciding to give it's brain a stress tolerance, you put scanners on max intensity, and use them as often as Greyly possible. While the scanners are specifically designed to not give creatures brain damage, after an hour of scanning, the hoomin now has epilepsy, and cannot taste sourness. As another hour ends, the huumen's frontal lobe has been compressed to your liking. Get out, twenty IQ points, hello neurological science!
+4 Science Points

You momentarily consider probing, but wonder why on Eraskilom you would choke it to death with unmanned starcrafts. However, an operation upon the creature's vocal apparatus reveals the presence of a cord in it's esophagus, that vibrates at variable pitch during exhalation. Specific sounds are created by a muscle within it's mouth. The operation ends, with the earthling missing a few grams of biomass, and you with newly found knowledge of vocalization, despite being a pathetic alternative to telepathy.
+3 Science Points

At the last moment, you turn on the tractor beams to pull up a quadrupedal foodbeast, whose flailing is somehow more amusing than the huemin's. You dub it the positively adorable name of Subject #001-B. Hmm. So that is where the 'myouuuuu' sound comes from. Studying it, it seems the earthlings feed themselves upon biomass and a frothy liquid, or 'milk'. Now you know the weakness of their food supply!

So, what to do with the abductees?

Establish the reason for the subjects unusual size.

[~Neri]

Try grafting Subject A's brain to Subject B's brain! Maybe if you put the brains close enough they can use short range telepathy like a sensible Being!

[FallacyofUrist]

Yeah, sure, do that. But after we do the brain-graft !!science!!, merge them completely together. We need a decent foot soldier, after all.

[~Neri]

Good idea! Make sure to stick a control chip in there though. Don't want the soldier mutinying on us.

Dissect whatever is left. Study their anatomy and biochemistry.

Only if the process of merging kills them, though.
