a Space Alien, in 9 seconds, by Laurea.
As far as I can tell, humanity sees Space Aliens as one of two archetypes: Marvin the Martian
and the Gray Alien.
Both, along with our Fastest Possible Space Alien, share freakishly-large eyes and a small-to-nonexistent mouth. In addition, Laurea’s tossed in a robe and the archetypal flying saucer (with lights).
Both Marvin or the Gray Alien have a reputation for aggression, invasive surgery, and/or ray guns, but our Fastest Possible Space Alien—though he or she has left the spacecraft—bears us no ill will at all. Whatever happened to “We Come In Peace”? Why have we forgotten the goofy and enormous alien space tubas from Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Even the visitors from The Day the Earth Stood Still were peaceable folk. So, then, is our Fastest Possible Space Alien—a chum from beyond the heliosheath, by whose comfortable muumuu we ought already to recognize a kindred spirit.
Hail, Fastest Possible Space Alien! We come in peace!
