The alien, seeing Grayson sit, does likewise, it's four lower tentacles curled in a tight clockwise spiral out from the body; it should be able to rise quickly.
It procures a small silvery object from a pouch on its "back," and rolls it at Grayson slowly. It looks very much like a ball bearing some 3cm across.

Lt. Grayson
With a shrug Grayson reaches - slowly - for the ball bearing. He'll pick it up, wondering if it's a gift of some kind.. or a bomb!

RJ draws his weapon, ready to defend himself or his crewmates.

The critter, spotting RJ draw, diverts 1 eye to RJ. The other remains fixed on Alex. The pistol it has swings vaguely to between the two.

Grayson glances about. "No! No... don't be wavin' th' weapon about. Ah reckon if it wuz gonna shoot it'd a shot me ba now! Put it away! Slowly! If it blasts me then... hell, do as ya like, but ah'm tryin' ta make friends here."
"Me..." said Alex, tapping his chest. "Grayson. Sray... Son." he said louder, as if that helped somehow. He pointed at the alien, gently. "You?"
"Cap'n? Could do wi' some of your deeplomacy about now!" he hissed.

Nodding, RJ sheathes his phaser slowly, very slowly. "Gotcha."

"uurrrooo???" The being lowers its gun, further.
The ball in alex's hand is hollow, and fairly light, and gives gently under Alex's fingers.
It focuses both eyes on Alex, who can feel it has building excitement.
"ðaðaðaðaþþþpt!" It wants Alex to do something, but empathy doesn't tell Alex what, only the desire.
Meanwhile, Žabur says, "Really, you should leave. Interacting with it is not good."

Jasper still had his communicator out and an open channel with Mr. O'Keef as he watched the interaction between Mr. Grayson and the new creature. The elation that Jasper was experiencing started to fade as he watched the interaction, and the creature fire his weapon at Mr. Grayson's feet.
While keeping his eyes on the situation, Jasper asks, "Tanku Žabar, thank you for your time and willingness to interact with us. We must return to our ship now, but perhaps we can continue our conversation on another occasion?"
Without waiting for a response, Jasper opens communication to Mr. O'Keef and says in a calm tone and manner, "three to beam up now, Mr. O'Keef."

"Aye, Sir!" O'Keef replies. Remembering that the crew are the group of three, she then proceeds to lock in the signal. She is able to isolate the three officers, but it's a bit of a rough ride, as when the signal started, the new alien leapt at Alex, just as the paralytic field effect kicked in. The transporter, not designed for four, starts making some seriously bad noises on beam-in.
Alex and the alien appear on the same pad, and luckily, nothing got merged, but the blue smoke from the teleporter pad they're on is a definite bad sign. RJ and Jasper each arrive on their own pads.
"Ooop bloop???" emits the alien.

"What the flagnog?" splutters Grayson. He looked to the alien and drawled "Now calm down. We ain't gonna hurt ya but... uh.. just bein' here will violate all sorts o directives an stuff ah reckon."
He stood, hand on weapon and ready to use it if the creature attacked anyone. To O'Keef he said "We need some extra bodies down here, armed!"
Looking to the Captain he asked "Ok, Cap'n we got ourselves a stowaway, but ah reckon he wasn't quite expectin' that, cause ah sure wasn't!"
He didn't take his eyes off the creature...

The creature slowly, oh, so slowly, puts it's gun on the floor, barrel away from everyone, the points to the ball...

Grayson frowns, looks at the ball and raises it slowly towards his mouth, then speaks "You want me ta put this in here?" he said pointing to his mouth. Glancing to the others he shrugged. "Or maybe there's somethin' you want doin' with it? How's about...?" he took a close look at the thing.

"Mr. Grayson," Jasper says calmly, "please do not put that thing in your mouth. Just hold onto it for a moment."
Turning to Mr. O'Keef, Jasper asks, "can you beam it back down now? Is it working?"
Turning back to face the creature, he slowly activate his Universal Translator and says, "we mean you now harm. We apologize for the accident in bringing you here with us. We will return you to your home shortly."
The blue fur along Jasper's crown ripples lightly as he turns to RJ and says, "Mr. Reilly, please assist Mr. O'Keef with the Transporter."

Grayson turns, raised eyebrows and a guilty look on his face as the ball bearing hovers between his fingers and about to be popped into his open mouth. A moment later he sighs, and adds "Yeah ah guess it would taste kinda nasty without some kind o sauce on it."

RJ also nods at Žabar before departing "Yeah, Tanku Žabar, thank you for your time." the blue smoke from the teleporter pad they're on is a definite bad sign. RJ and Jasper each arrive on their own pads. "Oh, that can't be good..." RJ says, frowning as he steps off the pad. The blue fur along Jasper's crown ripples lightly as he turns to RJ and says, "Mr. Reilly, please assist Mr. O'Keef with the Transporter.""Aye sir." RJ says, and walks to the transporter controls.
