========================================================================

We are the Tinkers.

We OWN this planet. By the way, we consider this a planet, not a moon. No matter what that human thinks.

We do not like the humans who are taking possession of our planet. We keep our distance and watch them. What do they want?

We are getting impatient. We decide to check the humans out. We will not show ourselves completely yet. One part of us is flying around the one who does not resemble the others. He is quite dark. Big too and he has a large mouth. On his head is a painting. It resembles a smashed one of us. We hope that is not the case. We decide we do not fear him. We have amazed this creature. He has amazed us as well.

We decide to investigate the camp. We enter the building. The humans record us, or so they think. They will be surprised; we do not show on tape.

The fool who thinks he is on a moon is excited. We do not like him at all. We dance around him. He needs to clean the white things in his mouth. It smells bad.

He thinks we mean no harm. The bossy one is more cautious. He is of course smarter than the fool. We think they will not harm us. They better not. Then the fool does. He catches part of us and locks us in a cylinder. We are very upset.

We had not expected this. The humans know how to harm us. They know how to lock us up. They are dangerous.

They let the part of us go. They will not get away with this.

We surround one of the humans. We attack. He dies. That is what happens if you harm us.

Now we will attack the others. We attack the camp. We manage to hit the fool. Way to go, we.

They know how to keep us at distance. First, we were upset. Now we are mad. We have to leave the building.

We do not give up. We try again. The building is blocked. We wait. We are patient. They are not. They will come out.

They want to know why we attack.

The younger one with the attitude has a theory. She mentions something about an increased magnetic field. About this moon passing some orbit thing. She thinks too much.

It is not that complicated.

The older one with the brains thinks we are mad because of the capture of one of us.

She is right.

This is our retribution. Find yourselves a real moon to explore. Do not capture us. We Tinkers do not like that. We will seek revenge.

It is as simple as that.
