There is an earth-shattering roar as a massive spaceship comes in for a very rough landing a short distance away from you. Several trees are knocked over and it comes to an abrupt stop. You stand in awe as a hatch opens and a seven foot tall wolf woman walks in your direction. Her head cocks at an angle and her yellow eyes study you for a long moment.

"Greetings. I hate to impose, but I require some raw materials to repair my vessel. Would you be able to assist me? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with this world."

I tilt my head in the other direction while I regard the being before me.

"Do you understand me? I picked up several languages from the radio transmissions of this planet. I hope I have the right one... ¿Que tal ahora?... Nǐ liǎojiě wǒ ma?"

Maybe it will help if I smile. I bare my fangs in what I hope is a friendly manner. However, the last creature I tried to smile at ran away screaming.
