Xeric hovered over the park , not many around he spotted a life form strolling , all alone away from the herd. No one would notice if just one went missing. He's rather not go down onto the planet ,after all humans were mostly harmless , sharp sticks and some sort of iron bolt ray gun were on the list of known tools that the humans used. He decided to go for the beam , it was dark and there was only one about , he could safely bring him up into the ship through the tractor beam. He hit a few buttons and started the targeting system.
The ship was directly above Alex , coloured the same as the dark sky. A circle in he centre opened up and a curtain of dull light flowed down in a circle around Alex. It took a few seconds for the selective gravity to work but once it did he started floating up towards the ship and the light. Xeric rather hoped he had got a human and not a cow or something , checking the transmissions , other hunters had picked up all manner of strange creatures , none of them seemed to match a human though , how hard could it be , he numbers said they were the most populous creature on the planet. Either way he better head to the cages and see what he had picked up.
