The next day, and the day after that, it seems that the attitudes have changed.  Ivy is permitted free access to the open room.  Doox is sometimes there..and sometimes others are there.  She has time to experiment with some food..finding the odd thing that is a bang on copy of back home.  She has time to learn PanGal and she the functionality of the tablet is updated so that she can now use it as a diary.  She is instructed to just write whatever comes to mind.<br/><br/>2 days later...<br/><br/>~~<br/><br/>When coming to the lounge room, something is subtly different.  It's empty.. not even the guards are there.  Then there is movement.<br/><br/>A body that at first looked like it was part of the angular wall.  An alien.. a new alien.  One not even mentioned in the book (which has the 4 you've seen..Human, Dralasite, Yarzarian and Vrusk) slowly unfolds itself and starts to walk towards you.  The creature looks like a cross between a stickbug and a lizard..except it is nearly 12 feet tall.  If it could stand fully, that it.  It's neck is fully 5 feet long, and fully articulated..like a long scaly giraffe.  It's 4 legs and 2 arms have one extra joint, letting it stand with both knees' bent to lower it's height.  It's hands and feet are twisted, with mirrored thumbs.  It's face looks like 'ET's, with a inverted T-shaped mouth and very wide-set eyes. The body and limbs ..while tall..are extremely skinny. It could probably push itself through an opening a foot across.<br/><br/>It slowly walks towards Ivy, it's 4 legs all moving..it's arms 'walking' on the ceiling to avoid banging itself, it's head affixed on Ivy.  As it gets close, it speaks.. in utterly perfect English..<br/><br/>"Hello Ivy.  I am " it's language switches to something completely undescribale.  It's almost musicial in itself. "However you can call me Melfleur.  Please do not be startled or frightened.  I am only here to talk with you."
