You decide on the homeless man as you need to be able to show that you put some effort into trying to collect human specimens. Besides, according to reports so far, these people have nothing expected of them and would be ignored if they act strangely. Locating the correct button on your device, you press and suddenly lose all feeling of your body. Initially you panic and nearly scream out in shock but then you realise you have simply been turned into a wispy mass of gray smoke. Marvelling at the wonders your kind has come up with, you glide through the air, entering what is apparently called the "nose" in the human language and land in a dark, dank area. It takes a while but already you can feel your consciousness spreading throughout the human's "body" and you feel it come under your control.
