Hidden deep within the Oort Cloud region of space, about ¼ of the way from Proxima Centauri and our Sun - a biomechanical species of aliens, have set up telescope observatories, to spy on the earth and all its inhabitants. The y-86 species are masters of nanotechnology, and over 100,000 years more advanced than we are. They send an organic-android probe, Cat Mau Du y-86, to Earth, for a closer look, and to transmit back data on what it is like to live on the planet's surface. 'Alien Android' - is an abstract, novelette-length work, lightly sprinkled with graphics. The robotic quality of the text-to-speech narrator's voice, (if utilized), should support the android character... and enhance the overall effect. Is it a story of science fiction, or science fact, or something in between? It may not be so easy to decide.
