[ WP ] The first extraterrestrial lifeforms found by Humans , are Humans .

`` You have a choice now. You can either turn left at the fork of destiny or enter hyper speed and explore space. Roll for your choice.'' 
 
 Kent picked up the dice and rolled them between his fingers before letting them out on the table. 
 
 `` Uhhhh....11. Scores of 9 and above indicate that you enter hyper-speed. Your ship enters hyper-speed. Around you stars are zooming by at a pace that you could only begin to imagine in your wildest dreams. You begin to hear colors and taste music. You and your shipmates are glued to your seats, the speed almost too much for your internal organs to handle despite your ship's preparedness for Ef-Tee-El travel & mdash;'' 
 
 `` Did you really just say Ef-Tee-El Trave & mdash;'' 
 
 `` & mdash; THE SHIP is slowing down, and now you are in a galaxy you do n't recognize. Ahead of you there is another ship that seems to be governed by an alien race. Do you a ) approach the ship or b ) send out a radio signal?'' 
 
 Kent stopped for a moment to consider before turning to Tyler. `` Approach the ship.'' 
 
 `` You approach the ship. As your ship grows closer your radio blares and an electronic voice tells you not to come any closer. Your ship pauses. Catalina, your first in command, tells you to slow down. You grip the controls but before you can slow your ship to a pause the alien ship has sent out a missile. It damages your ship. Roll for damage.'' 
 
 There was a pause as Kent rolled. 
 
 `` Four! Number under 7 means that your damage is quite high. The missile damages your ship's shields beyond repair, and warning signs are going off. Luke is radioing in from the engine room telling you that there's trouble abound, and the other ship looks like it's preparing to send a second missile. As it prepares you turn your ship. If you roll a 8 or above you land safely on a planet that you can see in the distance....ten, cool. Okay, your ship flies toward the planet. Another missile is sent and misses by a hair's breadth. Catalina is shouting at you to drive faster, but there's an alarm going off on the ship that indicates something is wrong. As you enter the atmosphere of this new planet you find that below you stretches only desert. Off in the distance you can begin to see some grass. Roll & mdash; shit, three indicates that your ship has suffered too much damage and has to land in the desert. Stranded you, Luke and Catalina gather up supplies of water and food and exit the ship, beginning toward the horizon where you swear you saw the grass. In the distance there's a rumbling noise. You can a ) examine it, b ) keep walking, or c ) turn back and go to the ship.'' 
 
 `` Examine it.'' 
 
 `` You walk toward the source of the noise, and notice a dot on the horizon. You give chase, running as your pack bounces against your back. It's heavy and the weeks of space travel have made your muscles weak and your lungs poor. You're breathless quickly, and as you reach the top of a hill you realize that you've lost your shipmates. You turn trying to find them but there is nothing but desert beneath you. Roll - seven, okay, below you the sand begins to give way. Do you a ) struggle or b ) stay calm?'' 
 
 `` Stay calm.'' 
 
 `` You stay calm despite the quicksand burying you up to your waist, and then you see a figure on the horizon. You cry out to them, shrieking for help from one of your shipmates. As you grow closer, you realize that it's someone else. Some*thing* else, except these aliens look exactly like humans. As it comes closer, it speaks to you in English, which happens to be its native tongue & mdash;'' 
 
 `` Dude what the fuck?'' 
 
 Tyler stopped speaking, his hands coming down to the table. `` What?'' 
 
 `` You make up this entire cool story and you ca n't do better than making the first aliens humans?'' 
 
 `` Well I did n't expect you to pick the choices you did. I was like, expecting you to fight, and then you'd have to find your way through space and hitch a ride with someone and I'd have like another day to think something up. I do n't know, man. It's hard to come up with aliens that are n't little green people and that can communicate with you.'' 
 
 `` Come on. What about using something like a babelfish? Or like a translator? Or something?'' 
 
 `` There were n't any cities. These beings are nomads. They just wander their world.'' 
 
 `` Are they seriously humans?'' 
 
 Tyler paused for a moment. `` No...'' 
 
 `` Tyler....'' 
 
 `` Fine. Yeah, they were gon na be humans. I thought it would be kind of cool.'' 
 
 Kent rolled his eyes. `` You're the worst DM, you know?'' 
 
 `` Whatever. Let's play WoW or something.''
