I’ve never met big dark puppy-dog eyes that didn’t.

I once had a first sergeant who could swear in nine languages.

A true Renaissance man. lol
I used to work with a couple of people who could curse equally fluently in both English and French, but growing up on the border with Quebec it wasn’t anything unusual.

It’s convenient, isn’t it? You can choose whether to be understood or not, which comes in handy when your first thought is ‘puki malu.’

“By the way, are you gay?”
“…What?”
“What do you do for sex?”
“I thought the tabloids just made this stuff up.”

So is Christopher, did you have need of that particular Spanish sentence (substituting US for outer space) when you’ve travelled in some of the more remote Spanish speaking parts of the world? I guess that when you said “come in peace”, they quickly grabbed whatever manner of weapon they had handy to make sure it was peace.

The very idea of using a gun, or gun-like tool, to implant something into the skull or equivalent by shooting the recipient must have been designed by committee!
Or an exasperated schoolteacher.
“I want to talk with you, let me shoot you in the head”.
Oh, and Eco-develop? Committee! “Make habitable for our species” they mean.
dogs of course have big hearts, so naturally they need large bodies as well.
i was also surprised the alien-dogs were so small in these images.

I’m wondering (on a second read)…. does the Terran (or Earther… I can’t remember which term Chris is using)… speak Spanish? Because it’s funnier if he doesn’t, at all. They just picked the wrong language to approach with. Tagged him with the chip anyway. As they’d planned.
Efogoto
Well, they are in Murcia, Spain … if these pups are any good at navigation.

The “chip gun” must be a recent invention. They started out using a hat.
It’s interesting how many aliens think “earth people” are the answer for any interstellar crisis. Is it possible that our science fiction TV shows, which show almost nothing but earth people saving the universe, are responsible?
Whispers of “Star Trek” transmissions, drifting across the galaxy, and the galaxy coming to Earth for help. Heck, that was the entire plot of “Galaxy Quest,” and it seems quite plausible in some ways.

The chip gun was introduced at the beginning of the second iteration.
And surprisingly (I know that IāM surprised) in this particular case, earth was chosen for a very solid reason. Which will be revealed someday. š
TB
Oh, come on. It’s ALWAYS Earth. That’s where writers and moviemakers keep all their stuff.
Just once I wanted to see a far future space movie where the people on the starship bridge are watching the giant killer space robot move off into the star field…
Especially Sunday editions. We’re going to need a lot of rolled-up newspapers, hefty ones, to keep this canid horde at bay.

I use “jimmies”, little squares cut to size, for putting under (human) babies. They’re washable!

Rikard in an old Fireball X-L 5 the advanced humans dropped bombs that grew forth food plants for a poor group who thought bombs are only for war not farming.

Gerry Anderson IS God.

They’re a lot larger than I initially thought.

I know I have a lot of catching up to do, but I would not mind if these guys stick around. They crack me up.
I’m getting VERY bad vibes from the “save our children” bit. Like, “let me graft this justice-loving super-weapon onto you” bad.
In before the wee little kiddies need human flesh-suits to survive or something.
i’m getting VERY bad vibes about how these aliens might use the bathroom.
Watch that planet be Terra firma itself. And those big dark puppy-dog eyes hide guile and deceit.

They shot a chip into his brain but the gun’s aimed at his crotch. On what are the canids basing their conjectures of human male anatomy?
Speaking of canids — I wonder if the communicatin’ coyote and condo-crushin’ canids story threads will intertwine? Seems like a decent story setup.
… time (and CB) will tell.
I love that we can now see the size of the aliens with respect to humans. It is not what I expected. :->
Me neither.

“Where’s it headed, science officer?”
“It’s headed directly for…(dramatic pause)…EARTH!”
“Where the hell is “Earth?'”
While it sounds like a made up term, it seemed familiar so I had to check and be sure, and yeap, Wernicke area is where speech is comprehended.
Yes. It is.
Which shows the dedication Chris has to Truth…. except for what he’s made up ????????????
Those question marks were emojis. š
Now you’ve got me channeling CLUE:
“Let us in! Let us in!”
“Let us out! Let us out!”
Oh. Oh God. Oh dear God.
What if news of the aliens needing a planet gets out and Earth kids see the aliens and their young?
Forget eco-development. We’d better start worrying about keeping newspapers from folding, because we’re going to need newspapers. A LOT of newspapers.
