Yesterday we learned that we are not alone in the universe. Today humanity will meet envoys from nine alien races. That first meeting is ten minutes away. You have been reviewing the cultural footage of these other races. One thing is clear – we are the creatures of their worst nightmares. All of the alien races have stories of horrific demons. All races have, independently, created art depicting these monsters. They all are us. We are the demons.
