Humans Are How Old?

Original story:   / humans_are_how_old  


Glimpo was very pleased with himself. He had passed all the tests and had been selected for a delegation to meet with the first alien race that his had ever encountered. It had been generations since first contact, and discussions had been dragging out.

Glimpo's greatest wish was to finally close the negotiations his forefathers had started. Entering the room where the meeting was meant to take place, he pressed the keypad by the door to announce his arrival.

"I remember when we had to knock," an older member of the delegation grumbled. First contact and the initial stages of discussions had been done planet side. This was the first to be done on a Human ship fitted to accommodate their race.

"To think these slow beings took eight ploks to alter a vessel!" the old member continued to grumble.
