The Scientist
Mission scientist Lomskarnelia Neuplasiork MuoLLLomax Jimmaria changed her first name to Jimmaria here on Earth. (Genders are confusing to the Lom.) S/he’s gone a bit native, but the Lom have a different concept of gender, so s/he doubled up.) Jimmaria is the true and passionate tourist of the group. She can’t get enough! Novelty trumps all! There isn’t a sensory input she won’t sample, nor a frozen flagpole she won’t engulf. She’s a bit less circumspect than the others.
A lot of their sampling involves primary sources, but they also pick up human brain activity. Don’t worry. They don’t “read your thoughts.” They just pick up vibes and stray memories. If you’ve ever felt a sense of déjà vu, that may have been a Lom brushing up against your thoughts. (Tasting them, really, but they’ve learned not to phrase it that way. Some humans got a bit creeped out by that.)
