You learn of humans

You learn about humans when a team of artic explorers encounter you. You are fascinated with them and they with you. They give you strange foods and whiskey. The heat water that you love at first drunk. You stay with them for three weeks. They teach you english. They put up with your relationship with the penguin. They build you a cozy home on the north pole. When they leave they leave six bottles of whiskey, lots of spare rations and such with you. This is where your north pole headquarters has its start.
