Sudenly Dwayne realized that he was still in his space suit. It must have appeared frightening to them. ‘Probably they think that I am a creature from space or an alien from Mars,’ he thought. He removed his head gear and his space jacket. The three tribal men broke into smiles. They could now understand that Dwayne was nothing but an ordinary man. Seeing them returning to normalcy, Dwayne too gave a wry smile and held out his hand to them. “Why did you call out Atsa`, Atsa`?” he asked curiously. “What does Atsa` mean?” “Oh that!” exclaimed Nag. “In our native Navojo language it means eagle, but in war code we call it transport plane. Since you arrived from the sky, I thought that maybe you are some creature from the heavens.” This brought a great guffaw from Dwayne. The three of them too cackled with laughter as they circled him again but in joy.
