Sheila: ya what's wrong?

Alien: well I walked past human Andy's room and I heard him crying in there. Is it another depressive episode?

Sheila: kind of...how do I put it. He has alor of love for old life on earth. Mainly dinosaurs.

Alien: Pardon me but what is a "dinosaur"?

Sheila: I'm not the 100% best to explain it. Andy is. Howevee I can give a basic run down and when he's claimed down you can ask him.

Sheila: So. Dinosaurs were an ancient species that lived on earth many millions of years ago and many of them would evolve into modern day birds. They ranged in size from smaller then a baby chicken to larger then some buildings and with some even getting heavy as 100tons on land.

Alien:...I'm sorry I may have misheard. 100ton land animals???

Sheila: Ya. However we don't know everything about them. We know quite abit but not everything. We've seen fossils since civilization began and never really cared for them alot. Sometimes even destroying them out of religous fanaticism and other times cause they were in the way. So we lost alor of history because of certain persons and times.

Alien: and these persons were never criminalized? Tried or found guilty?

Sheila: At the time we didn't know. And we wouldn't be able to tell who did what when and where. So it's possible something even bigger was out there as a sea creature or a flying reptile and we will never know. Maybe even dragons. Not the fire breathing kind just large gliding reptiles that spat nasty chemicals.

Alien: oh a scientific view on fantastical creatures! But let's go back. You said fanatics? Of who or what?

Sheila: well...what groups exactly and who led them we don't know. Best guess that history has taught us would be Christians and other religons associated with them. From what Andy has told me about them is they believed a demon placed them on earth to make humans no want God anymore. A trick or a test.

Alien: My species has a religion but our being never said anything. They said to keep pushing forward. To advance even if its a crawl. To be better everyday even slightly. To learn and grow and live. That is both our duty and worship to them.

Sheila: well they seem nice. Some of ours however howevee could easily be called bastards or even demons. Others are very dark grey. And only a small handful of them are what can be called good in the modern human sense. But we are getting off topic!

Alien: yes my apologies! So why is he crying?

Sheila: well the dinosaurs are gone. Birds are now classified as modern dinosaurs but Wes sad the past one are all gone and that many modern species are extinct. They didn't die off from a disease or new species. But a random asteroid 10 km across smashed into the gulf of Mexico perfectly causing a 70% extinction event on earth. The dinosaurs died out slowly over the next thousand years.

Alien: well that's awful! We've seen planets who have gone dead because of space based objects! But 70% and life still survived??

Sheila: ya. And it wasn't the first extinct event or the last. The Permian extinction which was the third known one almost killed the earth. 95% of all life died. We still don't know exactly what.

Alien:...95%???

Sheila: ya. And Andy feels for every species gone. Past present and future. It gets so bad he can't function. Heck he was watching a old documentary series called walking with dinosaurs and he just lost it after every episode. The series was an awarding smash hit for earth scientists and dinosaur fans for its revolutionary style and story telling. It was like being there at the time and watching it all happen naturally. Of course alot of it is wrong and alot is write and alot is speculation. But it's still an amazing documentary made by people for entertainment and learning. Episode 4 and 6 however hit him the hardest.

Alien: what happens in these episodes?

Sheila: I have the files here for the episodes. Perhaps it's best you see them yourselves.

Alien: alright I will. If you'll check on Andy.
