imagine this alien species you heard so much about, that helped save your planet, finally after years shows up on your doorstep and everyone's like scrambling to get together every scrap of information about eridians that they got from grace to be as welcoming as possible, but when the ship finally lands (you briefly wonder why they chose the ocean but probably it's just easier to land there) these rocks come out in suits perfectly crafted for the atmosphere and gravity, walk up to you and hold out their hand to you. you think, huh, weird that these aliens have the same customs as us humans re handshaking, but reach out to shake their hand anyway. maybe you even actually realise that they might be imitating what they have learned from Grace, but you certainly don't expect it, when, after the pleasantries are over, the alien explains to you that due to the geopolitical situation on earth they elected to land on international waters, they already thought about the difficulties of establishing contact with a planet made up of multiple countries not necessarily working together and thus see the United Nations as a good starting point, but also they have these notes on them if you'd be so kind to distribute them, they just need you email address. you are too shocked to get any words out save for 'hgnk' and instead you hold out your business card with shaking fingers, only to immediately have a panic attack because you just handed a card to someone who cant SEE this has to be the greatest faux pas in the entirety of human history. but the alien seems completely unfazed, almost as if they were expecting it, just facing a weird implement in their suit in the direction of the card, while their other arm is? placing something in your hand? you retract your hand and then stare without comprehending at a rectangle of some sort of material with raised text, which for some reason reads:
you dont know how long you stare at it with a dazed look on your face but as you look up again you have a sudden, visceral feeling that you must have teleported because you are in a room that could be any of the thousands of rooms you have sat in listening to countless of besuited figures droning on about something or another but last you checked you were IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOTHERFUCKING OCEAN and the ship you arrived in most certainly hadnt had this kind of equipment and what even is going on and this certainly looks like the common conference room but for some reason the material you're sitting on feels weirdly alien and HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS ROCK ALIEN JUST STARTED A POWER POINT PRESENTATION
