THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS. WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR US, EARTHMEN.
WE HEREBY DECLARE A CEASE-FIRE, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. UNTIL AUGUST 12, THERE WILL BE NO MYSTERON ACTIVITY ON THE PLANET EARTH. ANY MISFORTUNES WHICH MAY BEFALL YOUR PITIFUL CIVILIZATION DURING THAT TIME ARE YOUR OWN FAULT, OR DUE TO THE MALIGN AND ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT INFLUENCE OF THE JOVIAN SAUCER MEN.
DO NOT THINK THIS REPRESENTS A THAWING OF OUR IMPLACABLE HOSTILITY, EARTHMEN. WE WILL SIMPLY BE TOO BUSY PREPARING A SUITABLE RECEPTION FOR YOUR LATEST ROBOTIC AMBASSADOR TO SPEND ANY TIME PLOTTING AN ACCEPTABLY DEVASTATING AND SUBTLE ATTACK ON YOUR PLANET.
REMEMBER, EARTHMEN: THE MYSTERONS HARBOR NO MALICE AGAINST YOUR MACHINES. IT IS YOUR IRRATIONAL ORGANIC SELVES AND YOUR VIOLENT, IMMATURE CIVILIZATION WE DEPLORE. THEREFORE, WHEN WE SAY WE ARE PREPARING A RECEPTION FOR MARS ROVER CURIOSITY, THIS IS NOT A EUPHEMISM FOR ANTISPACECRAFT WEAPONRY. BESIDES, WE HAVE LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE THAT YOU ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF FOULING UP EXPLORATORY MISSONS TO MARS WITHOUT OUR HELP. SHOULD CURIOSITY BEAT THE ODDS AND ARRIVE INTACT, WE WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH IT SO LONG AS IT TAKES NO HOSTILE ACTIONS AGAINST US.
NATURALLY, WE CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE JOVIANS. WHO KNOWS WHAT THOSE GUYS MIGHT DO. THEY'RE EVEN CRAZIER THAN YOU BASTARDS.
THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS.
