[ WP ] An alien species reveals itself to humanity and on the threat of annihilation , demands someone to represent the human race to negotiate . They ask for one single person to represent all of humanity , who do we choose ?

The meeting lasted for what seemed like hours, days, weeks. The world waited in anxious agony as to what would happen. All of the world's media attention was focused on this meeting. The issues in Gaza, the problems with ISIS, economic depravity, hopelessness, despair, none of it existed for one brief moment of time. Everyone focused on their television screens, internet feeds, news sources. 
 
 We simply waited. 
 
 The translator left the room at the Vatican first, followed by the retinue from the alien armada and finally Pope Francis. The Pope had the friendliest and genuine smile on his face, and the aliens seemed to be displaying a similar smile. 
 
 The world held its breath as the Pope stood before the crowd and held out his arms. He spoke in Latin. 
 
 `` Brothers and Sisters of the world. I come bringing a message of peace from our friends from elsewhere in the cosmos.'' 
 
 The crowd cheered. 
 
 `` The threat of annihilation was one of fear on the parts of our intergalactic friends and allies. They viewed us as a hopeless species bent on harm and destruction. Their wish was to protect the galaxy from harm. 
 
 But, I have showed them our species is one of compassion and friendship, love and hope. They are impressed with all that we have done and can do. I have seen their love of the arts and their love of our philosophy. We are here to announce a global partnership so that the human race can become part of our new galactic community.'' 
 
 The crowd roared.
