Extraterrestrials transmitted a welcome message to Earth.


    One-Earth Space Agency invited the aliens to send an ambassador for first contact.


    The arriving alien spaceship was treated with great fanfare.


    Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    “Welcome to Earth! We have so many questions!”


    “I understand your language—I will try to answer them.”

    After several inquiries, a scientist boldly asked, “Why all the canned responses. Do you know anything?”


    “Sorry, I’m only following a script. Back at home, I’m a famous actor, so I offered.”


    The scientist gasped—“Why did they choose you?”


    “According to our extensive research, ‘celebrity’ is the highest rank on Earth.”
