"I've always been an avid listener to the stars. With a giant radio telescope in my back yard, I heard the message. The one no one would believe!

I checked, and rechecked, and checked again! It's clear, it definitely arrived, and was plain english! No one believed me.

Fabricated results, they said. No way only you would recieve it, they said. They called me mad, crazy! I knew it was real. I knew it had to be obeyed.

Refusing to accept the idiocy of my collegues, I set to work. It took me decades, but now, now they will listen. You will all listen! Shut up, and Play Dead!

If the earth cannot obey, I will make it happen myself. I've built a death ray on the moon, and starting tomorrow it will begin firing upon any offending radio transmissions into space. You have been warned!"

*beeeeeeeep* [please standby we are experiencing technical difficulties]

Wtf was that? Some kind of ad for a movie? Took a bit for the TV channel to return to normal and show me the news I'd been trying to watch.
