| Summary | "Is That You Xeluchli?" by Dick Hetschel is a science fiction story written in the early 1950s. The narrative explores themes of exploration and the consequences of interfering with civilizations, focusing on two characters, Orena and Xeluchli, who are tasked with observing the development of life on a distant planet. However, their curiosity leads them to break the rules by attempting to alter the course of a primitive civilization's evolution. The storyline follows Orena and Xeluchli during a tour of the Milky Way, where they encounter a nascent civilization on the planet BuP. Bored with the restrictions of their observational role, they decide to intrude by selecting two individuals from this civilization to guide humanity towards a better future. Orena chooses a male named Adam Henessey, while Xeluchli also picks a female specimen. As they execute their plan, Orena finds herself becoming more integrated into Adam's life, leading to unsettling questions about her own identity and the implications of their interference. The climax reveals a blurring of roles and identities just as the consequences of their actions unfold, highlighting the delicate balance between observation and intervention.
