I had such a weird dream. Somehow we found evidence of an alien spaceship 40 lightyears away. Then everyone got very excited and started researching spaceship things.
A few years later, an alien spaceship came into orbit around earth. They couldn't land so they left for Mars and landed there. Excited humans also came to Mars too greet the aliens. The aliens made them surrender Earth. Everyone was sad and scared.
@slooploon That started cool but got bad :(
@WelshPixie yes :(
Then, suddenly, undetectable missiles blew the alien spaceship to bits, which made for the sad punchline of the dream.
Because humans are not good at making FTL drives, but they sure as hell are good at making missiles.
