We Are Here To Change The World

[eo]

*A strange looking spaceship came down hard outside of a densely populated area, the hull of the ship smoking a bit from the atmospheric burn-up. After a moment the door swung open horizontally, a short, blue, elephant-like creature emerging from it slowly, peering around. A gentle-sounding voice spoke from inside the ship, presumably to the alien creature.*

Hooter? Can you see anything out there?

*The creature trumpeted in response, then spoke.*

Nothing, captain! Not at all!

*The voice inside the ship speaks again.*

...How about going a little further outside than that?

Nuh-uh! I don't even know where we are! Hey with all due respect, can't you come out here? I'd feel a lot more secure if you did!

*The voice sighs, lightly.*

Okay, alright, Hooter. Coming out there.

*After a few minutes, a tan-skinned young man, wearing a white, studded leather space captain suit, cape and gloves, steps out, a red and white animal with butterfly like wings, and a possum like tail clinging to his shoulder. He glances at the ship's outside, frowning.*

Hooter, I thought I told you to fix up that robot we got to pilot the ship?

*The elephant like alien stammers.*

I did! I thought I did...I mean...it's all Major Domo's fault! He told me Rex wasn't that damaged!

*A silver humanoid robot walks out beside Eo.*

Funny, you were telling me the exact same thing earlier...

*Hooter raised his trunk to speak, but Eo interrupts them.*

Guys! Now isn't the time to argue, okay? The ship's in a bad state...and we don't know where we are. We should probably deal with those problems. Alright?

[Miranda Wright]

Humming a classic rock tune under her breath, Sergeant Miranda Wright cruised the city streets in her blue-and-white patrol car, keeping an eye peeled for trouble. The blonde started when she suddenly saw something big plummet from the sky. What on earth was that thing? Slowing down, she looked out the window, trying to spot the tell-tale spire of dark smoke that signified an aircraft crash. She couldn’t see exactly where it had landed, but knew it had probably done so outside the city limits. Stepping on the gas, she drove out to where she thought the UFO (might as well call a spade a spade) could be found. Thankfully there weren’t any people or animals out here. They might have been in harm’s way from the object’s descent… or in danger from the occupants or vice-versa, if it was indeed a manned vehicle. “Yeah right. Lay off the late-night sci-fi marathons, Wright.” She thought with a chuckle.

Parking her vehicle in the overgrown field, she left it running and stepped out. After walking forwards a bit, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her dark brown eyes widened in shock at what she was seeing. It was some sort of… spaceship. She knew they weren’t filming anything out here today, so what was going on? Was this some sort of top-secret government aircraft or something? It looked way too sophisticated to be the work of kids.

She was even more surprised to see a blue elephant-like being, a young man in a really snazzy uniform, and finally, a robot who could pass for C-3PO’s cousin disembark from the craft. Was he an alien? The silver and blue colored guys clearly were, but the man looked so human.

Miranda decided to make her presence known. “Um… hi?” She called out to them with a wave, her lips curved in a slightly nonplussed smile. Not exactly what you'd call an eloquent greeting, but the cop hadn't counted on having a close encounter of third kind and being Earth's ambassador today. She just hoped that these aliens were the friendly kind.
