Today I realized nobody likes me. Me, specifically. The staff and passengers have always been curt with me and I accepted it at first; we're all stuck in a depressing situation with strange-looking creatures, but now that we're starting to settle in, I discovered that none of the aliens speak to each other using that tone of impatient disgust that seems to be only reserved for me.

A gentleman I approached -a co-creator of the collar- explained that humans have a bad reputation. In fact, all living beings on Earth are looked down upon. Apparently the concept of eating meat and being in war with your own species is incredibly rare. None of the aliens on this giant ark ever killed an animal or fought among themselves. Not even the animals on their home planet used to do this. Omnivores and carnivores didn't exist in their circle of life.

I'm not sure what to think of this. I'm used to cats hunting mice and lions hunting gazelles.. but I can imagine that the life of a predator will frighten those who have never been exposed to it. My planet must appear very violent and blood-thirsty. I ensured the man I wouldn't be a problem, but he didn't care for my promise and showed me the door.

I still don't know how the collar operates.
