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

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...

[ooc: OCD is up. Have at me!]

Projection #1

This projection has a greenish tint to its skin and is eight feet tall with long forearms that end in powerful claws. It's face is almost kewpie doll-like.

Projection #2

The second projection appears as a scaly reptilian humanoid, with yellow eyes and and oval mouth. It appears to have a reddish third eye in its forehead.

Projection #3

The third projection appears to simply be a human in a silverish suit with a domed helmet.

That is, until it pulls off the helment to reveal a large, domed head with squat features. It licks its lips with an ugly red tongue after removing the helmet.

This had been a tough one. Vampires or zombies? Vampires or zombies?

Biochemically manipulated persons induced into animalistic state.

Okay, so who knew if he knew anything about that? Nadia remembered enough from her dreams to want to know what she could.

This thingy was almost cute, in a slimy kind of way. Nadia approached.

"Um, hi."

The creature tilted its head on its long massive neck. It appeared to sniff for a moment.

"You want to ask a question, do you?"

I'm keen to learn more about Werewolves but if we're going to cover that already, I'd like to know what you know about the Wild Sponk.

"Raxacoricofallapatorius," it answered. It sniggered. "Try saying it five times fast."

"That's okay. I'm not sure I could say it once. What do you do? For a . . . living?"

"Hello." Pippi said to the thing.

Conner had done a little research in the Ranger archives, just to see if the Doctor could trump this one.

Know anything about an armadillo that turns itself into a giant hostile armored soccer ball (http://www.rovang.org/wg/mmprs1monsters.htm#soccadillo)?

"I clean the parliamentary building," it answered. "A humble vocation."

Nadia nodded. "What kind of government do you have?"

When this projection answered, it's neck seemed to wobble about in an almost campy, overacting type manner.

"Human," it replied. "Please do not waste my time with trivial things."

"A peaceful democracy," it answered. "A parliament run by the people."

Nadia nodded. "Cool. How long have you had that established?"
