"No, thats not whatis guided. None of your business, even! Can’t count on it, even if I wanted, see? My guarantees are safe and sound, and you cant disprove it! And now begone, Human! My business is awaiting me now and forewer..."

I sighted.
It was normally hard to understand aliens, all with their exotic thinking, but now with malfunctioning translator, much of what she said, didn’t make much sense.

My timepiece beeped. Time to move, if I don’t want to miss next opening of transportal. On this backwater planet, it opens only once per week, and I don’t want to get stuck here. Spaceship trips are too high above my financial possibilities, my boss would not thank me for blowing all profit on single return trip.

I slowly waded through crowd of aliens and natives, keeping my pace brisk and steady. Plaza was nice, but my goal was quite far away, and even with my fast walking, it could be close call...

All from nowhere, thundering sound rattled ground below my feet, and I fell on the pavement. There was much confusion, and one of aliens stumbled upon my fallen body. His wings unfolded, and covered my head. Even then I spotted blinding light flowing sudenly from gods-know-where...

I closed my eyes, unable to move under weight of alien, blinded and with ringing ears.

What happened?
