Hetin would never be open to human settlement. The three-foot-tall green-striped and big-eyed natives proved to be master mimics. Once they saw something done, they remembered it forever, and they passed it on to the others.
The first science team inadvertently taught them to speak Common. The second group taught them science. They thought it would take decades. It didn't.
The third science team lost their scout ship to the natives, and with it went the captain's extensive collection of pirate-related entertainment.
I hope they get to the part about ransoming prisoners soon. I hope someone still wants us back.
