Humans say objects can be owned, animals can have owners, but humans cannot. They still exchange currency pheromones for temporary control over one another’s time, labor, location, and behavior. The distinction is apparently very important. I have yet to identify it.

I discovered that trains provide excellent takeoff assistance. Large moving surface. Predictable direction. Strong airflow. Unfortunately, humans do not appreciate winged mammals crouching on train roofs at departure speed. Efficient method. Poor colony approval.

My maw is not shaped for most human words, so I use a portable translator on my vest: microphone, small computer, walkie-talkie. New humans often speak about me while I am present. Then the walkie says, "Please continue. I am taking notes". This produces excellent facial data.
