Coffee with Some Aliens
An agreement on sharing scientific discoveries looks closer tonight, as Russia and China join talks at the united nations. Meanwhile, financial markets across the world are in crisis as the Dow Jones industrial average fell over 2,000 points... Morning. Colonel? Gavisti. He says it means an argument. What do you say it means? A desire for more cows. Pack your bags. All right. Give me twenty minutes? Takeoff in ten. Dr. banks. Right this way, please. Contact and ready to approach...

That's what they're calling the ufo. Priority one: What do they want and where are they from? And beyond that, how did they get here? Are they capable of faster-than-light travel? I've prepared a list of questions to go over, starting with a series of "handshake" binary sequences... How about we just talk to them before we start throwing math problems at them? This is why you're both here. I'll bring the coffee. Coffee with some aliens.
