Drabble Challenge #44

Prompt: landing

"Nervous?" Vlork asked.

"Yeah," Neep replied, as the ship slowly settled to the ground, its anti-grav creating spirals in the field below.

"There's one!"

Neep activated the ship's stun ray, then went out and brought the human inside. "Are you sure this is how they communicate?" he asked, as he inserted the translation probe.

Vlork snorted loudly, and Neep turned around to see him shaking with laughter.

"It isn't, is it?"

"No," another snicker.

"Very funny," Neep said, removing the probe.

"This isn't even the right planet," Vlork laughed, "We just bring newbies here the first time, as a joke."
