An Alien

An alien can tell you anything with impunity.

Those who don’t seek fame aren’t going down in history – at least down very deep.

In this one sector of another galaxy, their concept of mortality is summed up in a phrase they have, “Death for those who think death.”

“What do you do?’

“I’m an electrician.”

“No?”

“Yeah.”

“An electrician?”

“Right.”

“Okay, how do you convert amps to watts?”

“Hey, I said I was an electrician.  I didn’t say I know what I was doing.”

Over in this one region, the creatures explain things as a means to help press the wrinkles out of their own understanding.
