As time passed, the alien watched the twins working. He was waiting for his turn to create his staff. It was interesting to see other Testers at work, and although they had similar powers, their working methods were very different.
Kosmic noticed that Pleiyadi worked with extremely high temperatures, which to humanoids with ocular systems that capture visible light spectrum would appear like the light of a giant white star. Working in this manner produced geometric crystalline materials that were very hard and sharp, resembling ice stalactites.
"So she was hot with a cold and cutting personality?" asked Shep Shep.
"Oh no, Testers do not follow the same principles to evaluate other testers as humans. I was talking about her work," said the alien.
"It was a joke," said Shep Shep.
"Oh..." realized the alien.
"What about the other tester? The one wearing the space dress and accessories? What was her work like?" asked Ken.
"Oh well, let me think back," said Kosmic, thinking.
Kosmic then observed Pleiadee as she worked and noticed that the amount of energy she used was less intense. Still, it resembled the light of a giant red star. The warmth of her light could be compared to the colors of a sunset. The materials she produced were more organic and rounded, with veins like marble or layers like wood.
"It's interesting that you try to give us references that we can understand, thanks for that," said Ken.
"Wait but what do they have to do with you making your staff?" asked Shep Shep.
"Well, I remembered that was when I met them. And if I'm being honest, they are big part of the reason I've met all of you," said Kosmic.
Suddenly a communicator began beeping and Kosmic grabbed it, tossing it to Ken. "Can you answer it? I never understand those things."
As Ken opened the screen, the youngling's image appeared. "Kosmic, what is taking so long?"
"Oh! Ben, I was just telling Ken and Shep Shep about how I made my staff. I was also telling them about the Testers that made me want to visit a star system like yours," said Kosmic.
"Aww, no fair, can you come with us and finish the story here? We are ready on our side, but I have some bad news I would like you to hear in person," said the youngling with sadness in his voice.
"Oh... Ok, I'll be over in a moment. Are you still with the cyborg? I can tell the subject to meet us there as well so we can introduce everyone and finish the plans for the moon thing," said Kosmic.
"Sure, I'll send you the coordinates," said the youngling.
