[It's getting to be rather late in the evening. ZEX is fiddling around with a really cool alien gadget, just outside and around the corner from the Mess Hall. It's a tiny projector that shows a big blue translucent sphere, upon which there are thousands of tiny dots of two different colors: green and red. He is moving the green dots my pointing and brushing them into position with his tentacles, and the red dots are attempting to destroy his green dots. Basically, it's three-dimensional space invaders.]
[Feel free to see him in person, or reply to the question he just posted to the network: Why do humans seem to think that Earth is so precious to alien species? Why does science fiction focus on lasers as the ultimate weapon? And for goodness' sake, why don't alien invaders seem to ever wear clothing?]
((You can, of course, mingle.))
