Alien seeks contact with human race.

You are an alien on your way back to your planet after an exploration
trip across the galaxy.

You notice some old-fashioned radio waves on your sensors coming from a
planet not far off your route.

Your natural curiosity draws you closer. You decide to drop in and make
contact if possible. But nothing is like it is at home amid the vast
empty deserts of Vulkan. With its habitable places long since moved
deep underground.

This strange, unrecorded, blue planet is literally teeming with life.
There seem to be artifacts littered almost from pole to pole. The radio
waves suggest a vast range of completely unintelligible tongues are in
use.

How and where do you contact the dominant race?

I'd realize the little furry creatures running the mazes in the labs are
conducting incredibly subtle experiments on the humans. With that, I'd talk
to them and skip the people.

You realise this is one of your brother Thzzp's experiments gone wrong,
and the land masses have become infected with a virus. So you sterilize
them first. Strangely, the radio emissions stop. You suspect your gear
is faulty, so carry on home for repairs while muttering about damn
modern technology and how you can't get reliable equipment for love or
money since Elvis took over....
(Sorry, got carried away)

Assuming you are a mere 55 light years off you should contact the
dominant individuals refferred to in the radio signals.

These will be either Mr Mayor of Toytown, Mr Plod the policeman,
Colonel Bloodknock or, Dick Barton. If you are specially lucky you
could try Muffin the Mule though this is illegal in some states.

I was hoping for rather more than muffin' mules Martin. ;-)

My question was actually a serious one!

We always assume that UFOnauts would know that the White House lawn was
the appropriate landing place. But why would they? It sounds a bl=F8=F8dy
dangerous option to me with the present occupants!

How *do* you contact a swarming race of 8 billion scattered all over a
planet when not one of them speaks your own language?

Hand signals? It might not be a universal language in Tentacle! You'd
be lucky to survive the first five minutes out of your spaceship in
most places on Earth with a raised single finger! However dexterous.

How do you judge dominance? If the aliens saw the Michael Jackson TV
clips they'd probably think he was an emporer with so many attendants.
Should they approach him for a private audience?

You abduct a few and take them home with you.

Is it? Last time I checked, there were loads of other countries in the world.
I'd have thought Geneva or Brussels or Bejing at least as likely.

You speak LOUDLY and put an 'o' on the ends of all the words of course!

"OY MANUEL, MORE VINO, PRONTO"

Not if they're under the age of... aquarius?

That would work actually, as Manuel is more than likely a Laaarrndener, a Souser or
a Geordie :-)

Just kidding....

Right. Give the earthlings a months warning of your arrival and tell
them where you are going to land. All the players who think they are
significant will converge on that place armed tothe teeth with spin. A
fight will break out for pole position. Talk to the last man (or
woman) standing. If talk doesn't hack it there will be clues such as
space for a horse between the legs when no horse is present or a
cheesy grin or a hint of garlic or, more probably a grass skirt. When
it comes to a close encounter of the force kind, my money is on the
Fijian.
