[ WP ] The Aliens want to know what the hell we did with Atlantis .

`` *Oh my God*,'' I groaned, holding my head in my hands. Or rather, I would've. But I was strapped down by... chains of shimmering light to a metal gurney aboard an extraterrestrial spaceship. 
 
 **We do not believe in higher beings. Once, we did. But now we have transcended past such primitive behaviors. ** 
 
 `` But you believe in *Atlantis*.'' My voice was the most incredulous I could've possibly made it. Somehow, the green, oozing spheroids circling my head missed the tone. 
 
 **Of course. There is much literature, maps, even video footage that indicates its existence. Or rather, its once-existence. Which brings us back to the question at hand, human: what has your kind done with the nation of Atla -- ** 
 
 `` You imbeciles,'' I yelled. `` Atlantis was never real. It was an allegory that represented hubris, in Plato's *Republic* --'' 
 
 **Yes, we are familiar with that text. It was the first mention of Atlantis in human history. ** 
 
 `` Why do you even care?'' I asked abruptly. `` What the fuck does Atlantis have that you want so badly?'' 
 
 **It was a Utopia. Though we, the ( indecipherable noise ), have long since surpassed your kind in technology, we still have not achieved total peace amongst ourselves. ** 
 
 `` You've come to the wrong planet if you want to learn about peace,'' I muttered, eyes rolling. `` Look. Atlantis. Is. *Fictional*. All that `` video footage?'' Those are called *movies*.'' 
 
 A pause. They `` faced'' each other and seemed to spew static at one another rapidly. Finally, one turned back to me. 
 
 **What is a movie? ** 
 
 `` Jesus Fucking Christ.''
