"By God, it's incredible—yet it's true! The first extra-terrestrial humans ever discovered, in over a thousand years of space exploration!"
"This will be something to stir up their blood back home. People were beginning to lose interest even in galactic exploration. This is it, boys! We've finally discovered our own kind!"
"I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Those are obviously primordials. That male is half hair."
"And the other half is all brawn. The female is surprisingly clear-skinned. For a primordial gal she isn't bad!"
"What are they doing down there? Looks like they're waiting for us to do something."
"Don't you get it? We're from the stars. Therefore we're gods. That quadruple-horned goat-like animal at their feet is a sacrifice. We're supposed to accept it."
"Hell, we'll accept them all! Let's get 'em on board!"
"Hold it a minute, men. Keep your voices down. You're gods now, not monkeys. Take it easy. Can't you see how the female cringes behind the male? Both of them are half scared out of their wits. By their own evaluation, they are braving death to do us honor. We have to gain their confidence."
"Well, if they're defying death, itself, maybe they'd come on board if we lowered the ladder to them."
