ALDEBARANIAN
“It was, Haber thought in emotionless horror, a giant turtle. Then he realized that it was encased in a suit of some kind, which gave it a bulky, greenish, armored inexpressive look like a giant sea turtle standing on its hind legs.”
“A flat, toneless voice came out of the elbow joint.”
“The figure whirred a little, raised its left elbow over its head (which, turtle-like, hardly protruded above the great sloped shoulders of the carapace), and said, ‘Please excuse’”
“The Alien, though neckless and waistless, gave an impression of bowing, and passed on, huge and greenish above the gray-faced crowd.”
“A huge form emerged, seeming to float forward slowly, silent and reptilian: the proprietor was an Alien.”
“It raised its crooked left elbow and said, ‘Good day. Do you wish an object?’”
