"Hey, Jack! You see that planet down there?! It's so big and pretty! Let's go explore!" I yelled, looking at my partner, Jackal Fifin.
"What if it's inhabited, though?" He warned, looking at the planet.
"Even better! Cap'n will promote us!" I shouted, my excitement level higher than our spaceship was old.
"Fine," Jack said, pulling the ship down. "I don't think this is a good idea."
As we settled, two aliens approached us.
"Eughhi thuy warfty?" They asked in a foreign language. We stared at them for a second.
"We. Come. In. Peace." Jack tried, his tentacles fattening as he spoke. The two legged creatures with only two sockets for their extremely small eyes, with a large bump in the middle with holes in them, and stretchy limbs looked at us like we were aliens. They were the aliens!
"Earthlings, humans, planet Earth," They pointed to themselves.
"Reactors, planet Reaction." I yelped up, grinning. They towered over me, slightly taller than Jack.
"Aliens!" They screeched. And suddenly we were trapped in a bag.

Jack woke up from the nightmare, once again in Marco's point of view. Marco was gone, since the humans' experiment had gone wrong and he had died, so he haunted his dreams.
The humans have kept him here for almost three years, his planet time. In Earth time, it was only about 2 months. His baby girl, Yosa, would be married off to a man by the time he got home.
He sent out another telepathic message to his daughter: "Baby girl, I fear I will not make it home. Tell your mama I'm going to go to the Underworld."
"Yes, pa. I'll miss you."
In his notebook he wrote in every day, he wrote in the humans' language, something he had learnt from them speaking it all the time, English it was called, "You are monsters. Marco wanted to explore. But you killed him. My baby girl will never see her daddy again. You're horrible creatures." The next day, they found the note next to Jack's dead body. His body was perfectly healthy. He made himself die, from his brain.
OTHER REACTOR
Now, tell me humans. If Jack and Marco were you or your family, would you feel like you were cheated? Well, you cheated their families and themselves. By experimenting. You horrible creatures.
