Challenge #04439-L055: Strangers in the Night

The way the human was staggering, I thought they were drunk. When they passed out to sleep, tests indicated they were merely severely sleep deprived. -- Anon Guest

There is one rule that covers all the space ways. Help others, for the trouble may one day be yours. In space travel, it was to always respond to a distress call. On more stable ground, the habit carried over to helping a stranger who clearly needed help.

Planetside, this meant paying attention to a Human stumbling along the darkened streets.

There was nobody else here to pay attention to them, and Marss felt the laws of the space lanes on his shoulders. So ze journeyed across the empty road between them to walk by the Human's side. Best to keep to GalSimple, just in case. "You being sick? Needing helping?"
