[ WP ] Aliens have just made contact with Earth . Strangely enough , it seems that human technology is superior .

The farmer walked around his underground bio-dome, inspecting the progress of his plants and crops. He carried a clipboard, which was n't really necessary but it helped him feel useful. Harvest time was soon. He'd actually need to put in more than an hour's work when that came around. Farming was easy and secure, but none too exciting. Just as he was thinking about maybe joining an ultimate laser league, he heard a crash from above. 
 
 He hurried to the elevator and ascended to ground floor. As he exited the glass car, he heard what was no doubt to him an argument, nearby. Yet, the voices were otherworldly, and high-toned; silly sounding, like sped-up cartoons. He drew closer, quietly creeping, and saw what he knew must be extra-terrestrials. 
 
 They were definitely arguing, and they stood next to a spacecraft, if you could call it that. It had crashed into some shrubbery. Steam billowed from several places around it like volcanic pores. It's material resembled something close to copper, bolted together in plates, unpainted- it looked like a craft a NASA crew might build if it was given one day and a junkyard on some reality game show. 
 
 The farmer drew out his phone. `` Translate,'' he whispered. The phone played back: 
 
 *Well dang-namit Zorpe I told you to check the engine'fore we took her off. What in the heck happened up there past the flyin' rocks? * 
 
 *I do n't rightly know Flik-Flak but I'm only tryin' to get us up off the ground. I'd sure appreciate if ya stop layin' in to me. * 
 
 Zorpe kicked the ship and the engine sputtered like some old rickety pick-up truck and then died again. 
 
 *Aw hell, Flik. I dunno engines. * 
 
 The farmer's wife, in a swimsuit and towel, snuck over to him. She had been watching from the pool. `` Should we help them?'' 
 
 `` Well, they seem harmless enough. And helpless too.''

 `` You hear that Zorpe? A kinda rustlin' of sorts?'' 
 
 `` Aw shucks. This place gives me all manner-a-jeebies, Flik.'' 
 
 The bushes in the distance rustled. 
 
 `` Heck is that?'' 
 
 Flik-Flak had already started off. `` High-tail it. Time to fly, Zorpe. Fly!''
