Constant Vigilance #4: Friday the 3rd, Morning. Serenity Cove.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

Today, the class meets on the beach, to accomadate the student who has a bit of an aquatic problem at the moment. The Doctor set out beach blanket and towels, and has hauled the holoprojector out on a cart.

"Pass forward your requests I asked for, thank you. As I let you know, we're switching things around a bit. Vampires and werewolves will be at a later date. Today is simply 'Close Encounters of the Unattractive Kind'. Now, please remember, that it's not so much that I find these species particularly unpleasant, it's just we might as well show some of the more unsavory aliens out in the world. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. I'll be taking questions today, but no lecturing today. It's called close encounters for a reason. You'll be talking to the projections, trying to gather what you can from them. Ask them whatever. Remember they can't actually hurt you, but please only antagonize them if you're being terribly clever about it. There is no assignment for next week. Time for you all to put on your 'first contact' thinking caps. The projector will be sending out three different aliens. Talk to at least one, please."

The Doctor smiled, then turned on the projector. Three forms appeared...

"This radiation and temperature change would kill more than humans. I'm no scientist, but that sounds quite obvious."

"Obviously such a measure will only need to be taken if the humans somehow defeat the virus," the Silurian said. "That will be our main line of attack."

Walter had heard about the influenza that had essentially brought WWI to a halt. It was chilling to hear this so casually bandied about by this creature.

"Can't you just take settlements around the equator and share?" It sounded like what people who cared about peace would say.

"Why should I want to share with apes? Apes who mess about with dangerous nuclear experiments?"

"Why should we want to offer to share with lizards who have plans to destroy most of the life on the planet's surface?"

"We were here first."

"Do you have a flag?"

Walter pulled out a camera and snapped the lizard thing's picture, since this was clearly not going anywhere.

"We do not need flags." The Silurian scowled.

"That's what they all say," Walter said dismissively and went to talk to the third projection.
