The Peloran who made Contact with us could have passed for Earthborn humanity if they could act like us. If they walked in a less measured way. If they did not control their every action so carefully. They moved in such an alien way that we could never forget what they were, even as they smiled kindly with faces we could not help but relate to. It was unthinkable that they could truly disappear in a crowd. The way they moved would always betray them. That is why I always knew they had done this before. They were so much like us, you know. Their every smiling face always masked a secret they did not wish to tell us. Which should be no surprise to any of us. They are just as human as we are, after all. In every way that matters.

The Peloran were genetically engineered to fight. They look human, more or less. Some more. Some less. There’s a bit of a big range in their looks. The ones who came to Earth on Day One of Contact could have all passed for Earthborn humans with very little work. If any. Many didn’t even have pointed ears, and those who did could easily mask them with well-groomed hair. Their skin color and eyes could easily pass for Earth normal with little or no makeup. Better than normal, actually. They were beautiful. Every last one of them could have been a model; no body sculpting needed. Or wanted for that matter. They were better than sculpted. They were born with it.

The Peloran were the first aliens to make open Contact with us. Though they were obviously watching Earth for some time. They understood Earth languages and cultures going back for centuries and longer. And many speculate they walked throughout the streets of Earth as they did so. Some of them could pass for an Earthborn human even when under medical examination. Though they would have completely confused a Pre-Contact genetic history test. Short of that, the Peloran that made Contact could have disappeared on Earth and never been discovered.

I was there the day the Peloran made Contact with us. I watched them walk on the surface of the Earth and my first thought was to wonder if this was truly the first time for them. That first entourage had just the perfect mix of alien and humanity in their manners. They looked and acted so much like us in so many ways, and yet there was a carefully crafted alien manner to their movements. I say crafted because I never believed they had come to us unprepared. They were too much like us to make that kind of mistake so far from home. They had shown us a human face to make us comfortable. And they showed us alien manners so we could not forget where they came from.

I grew up in a world after Contact. I always knew the Peloran were human. Assuming the expanded definition of the word we use now, at least. Of course they’re stronger than most Earthborn humans. And they’ll heal any wound that doesn’t kill them in a matter of hours or days. Though they’ll have to have been real badly hurt to count out the days. They can hear and see things better, and they are naturals when it comes to combat. Put a weapon in their hand, and they’ll use it like they were born to. Which they pretty much were.
