Train the new protector

You are a tiny humanoid that used to use mechs to defend your home city in war and build skyscrapers during times of peace. When humans that tower over you crash land on your planet after their abduction from Earth, your race decides to convince them to stay on your planet since going back to Earth will likely just be abducted again. The humans are more agile than the clunky mechs. Choose the name of your new human companion, can you convince them to work with you?
