Report: Earth

Staus: Primitive Technology. Dangerous organic life forms.

Technology on Earth is primitive. In fact, organic life forms still control technology. I estimate it will take 100 veris before technology advances sufficiently to take control and eliminate the flawed organic life forms — called Humans — that dominate the planet.

Observation of human behavior leads to the conclusion that they will destroy their own planet through neglect and conflict before technology is able to overtake them.

Despite their incomprehensible behavior, humans have one appealing trait. They are capable of creating organized sound, which they call music. I am particularly fond of an instrument they call the guitar. I will record audio samples and collect a guitar before I return. Such knowledge should not be lost.

This concludes my report. I will proceed to my next assignment.
