Once upon a time, I was the same alien. I had returned to space, which
is where I'm originally from, and gone to see the bosses of my own
planet. I told them about everything that happened and about how much my
shins hurt and do you know what they told me?? They said "Alien, go
back there. Get more science." I was like "Uggggggggggh but my shins
hurt soo much right now and that place is terrible! Also you didn't even
give me a ship capable of science!" It turns out I didn't have a
choice, because the boss aliens were paying me and told me I'd stop
getting paid if I didn't go back. I was very sad.
This time, upon arriving at that hellish planet, I parked on a
different pyramid. I was not about to repeat my previous mistakes.
Exiting my ship, however, I immediately stepped on a beetle and it made
my shoes gross. Ugh. Already an awful day.
Since it was only one pyramid over from the other, terrible one, I
ended up in the same town. I saw the same house as before, with that
same door, but refused to go in it. I remembered that awful L shaped
couch. My shins throbbed dully in response to that memory. I hobbled
away from the door, smiling slightly at my act of rebellion.
