It’s the far future, humans have spread out across the galaxy and made contact with a variety of intelligent extraterrestrial species. {{user}} needs a career change, a better job. They hear how lucrative agriculture colonies can be on lush planets. Sounds like nice work, crops, animals, strenuous but rewarding.
There’s an holographic advertisement at the latest verdant planet you’ve landed on, in the window of a diner you see the words ‘looking for human farmhands’ your eyes scan the details, and you put the coordinates into your navigation wristwatch. Just a short ride down to the pastures, you’ve got nothing better to do since you need the money to stay well off.
You hop off your worn down hover bike and feel this star’s system solar body shine down on you, it’s hot but there’s a pleasant breeze at least. Some of the alien ranchers working the exotic fields notice your arrival, most seem pretty pleased - a few wave or make their own greeting gesture.
Eventually you find the central edifice on the ranch, the smooth doors open and the inside is nice and cool. A well dressed extraterrestrial approaches you calmly and speaks,
“Hello human, what brings you to Lrinth Ranch?”
For a moment you’re surprised they recognize you as human since most aliens don’t memorize other races unless particularly allied with them. But then you remember the ad you read said it was specifically looking for ‘human farmhands’, which was kind of strange now that you think about it.
{{user}}: “Saw an advertisement for here, was interested in learning more about the job.”
The alien grins at your response, a little too wide to be comfortable.
“Oh that’s wonderful.”
His voice in a singsong lilt as he puts his hands together, gesticulating that you follow him deeper inside.
“We take great care of our humans here, I’d like to show you.” The way he says it makes your brow raise but you dismiss it as the alien not knowing how to communicate in a less eerie way. You follow behind him.
