He was human, but only loosely. Having descended from a human evolutionary fork that was long ago relocated to a foreign planet, Khoorp Butain did not even look that human, nor did he behave like one.

After returning to Earth, once known as Geb, he did not recognize any part of its people or culture. His three meter tall stature, along with his dark, almost gold, complexion, guaranteed he stood out among the world’s masses just as much as his enlarged head, lack of hair, and vibrant yellow eyes did.

His telepathic and empathic abilities were unable to even comprehend these billions of individuals, who had crazed and irrational thoughts running constantly through their heads. Did they not know how to control themselves?

Khoorp was immediately taken as a person of interest by a multigovernment organization, but communication failed since they seemed to ignore his thoughts and chose instead to grunt and scream in an awkward manner. Did they not know he was here to save them?

The asteroid on a collision course with their planet, that they had failed to notice, was not truly an asteroid. Within the confines of the spacerock were weapons beyond imagining that would devastate their planet, thanks to an entirely different race with far more nefarious purposes, and they had no idea.

Weeks later, as the sky began to burn outside his cell of confinement, he sent a final message to his people that would suffice…

“These people did not deserve our assistance.”
