I went over to the center of the clearing before activating it and setting it down. I backed away from it and waited at the edge of the clearing for the Doc to send me the machine. I didn’t have long to wait as a sphere of yellow energy appeared above the communicator. It swirled and grew before my eyes and I could smell ozone. My hair stood on end and I could feel the charge in the air. It came to peak at the same time as the yellow sphere finished growing and then there was a whoosh as it suddenly collapsed into a humanoid form before fading away.

     What was left behind was a humaniod robot of some kind. It had materialized few inches above the ground and I could hear the soft mechnical creak of its joints as they absorbed the impact when it dropped. It remained standing though and I carefully approached, the Doc’s warning to me still very clear in my mind.

     It didn’t move as I came closer and I took a little time to look it over. It was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be, topping out around 6 or 7 ft tall. It was also a lot more ‘human’ like too for something that was supposedly alien tech. It had the same proportions as one and there were what looked to be thin metal plating covering it that mimicked human muscle groupings. Between the plating was dark fibrous material of some kind, probably something that was bullet proof. A smooth domed visor of some kind covered its ‘face’ on what could have passed for a bald human head minus the ears. In place of ears, were two long erect fins shaped like the tail rudder of an airplane. They jutted up from palm size round flattened nodes on either side of its head. Lastly, it hands were also very human like with five digits each extending from a trapazodal shaped palm with four well defined fingers and a thumb.
