First Contact Downer
First contact occurred in the year twenty twenty-two.
The spaceship lands on a cold rainy day. December the seventh at eight fifteen in the evening.
Many high-ranking government officials from around the world are lined up by the tarmac waiting to greet the visitors.
Around the landing site crowds have gathered from all around the globe. Hoping to get a glimpse of aliens on this historic occasion.
A sliding hatch opens and a group of aliens depart the ship.
The two sides make small talk. There is great disappointment when earthlings learn the race of aliens is called Kill Humans.
