- Enter sounds of the Twilight Zone
- Mona: waving the multicolored flashlight. Our setting is a very boring planet in the middle of
- two points in the galaxy. This planet is doomed for destruction by the Galactic Hyperspace
- Planning Council to make way for a hyperspatial express route that will run through our star
- system. This is a special report from The United Relocation Committee in the hopes of preparing
- the majority of the population for the inevitable move to Earth. This report is designed to help
- with synthesizing our Altarian culture to that of the Earth. Earth, as you all know, is the best
- chance for creating homeostatic environment between two cultures, one of which is ours since
- theirs is considered “Mostly Harmless” by some standards. We, as intelligent being on our planet,
- must learn to live by a few of these new social rules that Earth calls “ethics*”.(*said with a bit of
- an accent) We have set up a program so that you may learn Earth customs and “ethics*” along
- with our most veteran space explorer, Lieutenant Dodge de Neon, as he investigates Earth. The
- countries that were selected were not at random. It is quite simple really, The United Relocation
- Committee chose countries that are believed to be the purposed accepting end of about 55.6% of
- all archaic signals that have, for some unknown reason, been noticeable for twenty-three minutes
- on a few old broadcasting channels that are still used to check for intelligent life on other planets.
- The countries that have sent most of the broadcasting are believed not to need such necessary
- visits as those on the receiving end because all these special broadcasts will be aired every day
- between eight and ten d.m. in the hopes of teaching everyone all about these countries with least
- amount of Altarian tax dollars being spent.
- Focus in on the small car arriving in country a.
- Here is our spatial habitual machine carrying Lieutenant de Neon to Earth. The first country on
- our list is Pakistan. Oh, dear. The lieutenant is coming in too fast!!!! Here on our screens in the
- studio I see that it is predicted that the Habitual machine will hit that big round object hovering
- over the building… The balloon pops and confetti flies. And the habitual machine does as it
- comes to a complete stop.
- Norrenna comes out, throws open the rug, reaches behind her and turns the car into another
- gear and pretends to make Islamic prayer out loud. Brauer comes up to Norrenna and tries to
- speak with her explaining his apology.
- Norrenna: Allah Hu ackbar, Allah hu ackbar….
- Brauer: Sorry that I caused such an accident.
- Norrenna: As-Saalam… Eid Mubarak
- Brauer. Teach me some of your lanuage please.
- Norrenna: Bis-millah-heer-rah-mah-neer-rah-heem
- Brauer: Bis-millah-heer-rah-mah-neer-rah-heem
- Norrenna: Hama-abne-sad-lejeelow.
- Norrenna gives rug to Brauer. As they do this Norrenna places the small souvenir in the rocket.
- And Brauer maneuvers the car up the ferry.
- Mona: I hope all of you learned something. That was a religious prayer performed by almost ¼
- of the Earths population today because of the religious holiday Eidul-ad-haa, or Festival of
- Sacrifice after two months and 10 days of the pilgrimage: Hajj.. Hama-abne-sad-lejeelow is Urdu
- for: take this with you. Urdu is the native language of Pakistan. And here the spatial habitual
- machine is coming to its next stop, Italy, the country that is next on the list.
- The vehicle comes off the ferry and runs by the vines pulling some down with the magnet.
- Dominik comes out and excited.
- Dominik: wow, you picked grapes. The first person to pick grapes becomes the host for the
- Cupra Montana Grape Festival, one of the most famous in the region. The occurs on the first
- Sunday of October. You may keep the grapes so that you can eat on your journey. (translate into
- Italian if at all possible.)
- Brauer: thank you for your cooperation. Good it is not vine though, as I do not like it (say with
- monotone German accent)
- Mona: and the translation for all of that is… (say in English)
- And as the Spatial Habitat continues on its way north it arrives in the last designated country,
- Spain. As the machine comes to a landing on this really big green thing we must prepare for a
- good run. Oh, wait there are people on the big green thing. The machine will try to slow down
- now to lower the risk of hitting the people. (the car knocks the ball into the net) Uh, oh.
- Something was hit. I wonder what it could be.
- Nacho comes out and screaming and yelling very excited
- Nacho: Wahoo, you won the game for Spain. (shakes hand and jumps some more)
- Congratulations, you just kept France from keeping the World Cup in Football. Now are
- international relations are in tack. For your work you can have the ball, here you are. (in
- spanish if possible)
- Brauer: thank you very much soccer player.
- ( the small ball is placed in the rocket and the big one is given to Brauer who places it in the big
- car before fixing the rocket for launch. (nacho must launch the rocket unless brauer can do it
- from inside of the big car. as the rocket is being prepared mona translates
- Mona: Wahoo, you won the game for Spain. (shakes hand and jumps some more)
- Congratulations, you just kept France from keeping the World Cup in Football. Now are
- international relations are in tack. For your work you can have the ball, here you are.
- Mona: And now we prepare for the spatial habitual machines return home, oh look at the wonder
- of the famous planet: Damogran in the star system Sol.(Rocket lands)
- Congratulations Lieutenant de Neon, Will you show us these souvenirs that you received? Here
- won’t you place them on this display case?
- (mona points to a shelf behind her where the globe is. Brauer places the souvenirs there)
- Brauer: I would rather not as I become shy when placed in front of a camera but I will say that
- they are all important for understanding the way of the planet Earth and each one now has high
- sentimental value.
- Mona: okay then. In other news today, How to see the Galaxy for Less than thirty Altarian
- Dollars a day! And the importance of a towel when traveling through TIME.(all)
