Arrival/First Contact
Aircraft shielding. Impressing upon humanity the futility of resistance.
Selecting Diplomats
Alien diplomatic moneyball.
They Know Us
Flawless colloquial earth languages. Cultural context. How to manipulate apes. Benevolent alien dictatorship.
Curbing Scientific Inquiry
Approaching utopia removing incentives for innovation. Alien limits on research. “The stars were not meant for man.”
The Great Filter
Maybe these aliens in the show are the great filter. Filling in some slots of the Drake Equation. Maybe we’re just terrible for the universe and they know it. :/
Butt Numbers
Directed evolution at a scale of tens to thousands of years.
Alien Appearance
This part is too spoilery for this page
Remember Us
Not too much to ask, really. We could have had a worse run.
