Hello.
Name's Quark.
Yes, you may be asking what I am.
Well, your answer is simple.
Rocks and stardust and a lot more things.
I know, I don't look like a human.
I look like a cat, I think they're called.
And I'll say, we're pretty advanced.
No, we do not need oxygen, we survive off of anything.
Basically, we're all cat-like things that exist off in the randomness of space.
We know all about Earth.
You like to keep animals as pets, and the pets make weird noises.
Things have been sent into space. You've went to your moon, but only once.
We've hacked into your satellites before, it's all so interesting.
Earth is for people who are only beginners at knowledge.
I bet you don't know how to go nearly as fast as light
We can manipulate atoms and such.
Some of our society has gone to live in the bottom of the ocean since humanity knows nothing about it.
They've developed eyes that can see better than anything on Earth.
To be honest, they're kinda creepy.
Those "UFO" things, those were the ones going into the ocean.
They know they could of used more advanced ways, but they decided to simply trick humans.
Yes, alien space cats have a sense of humor.
About the telescopes, if I use one from our planet, as in right in this spot, Earth isn't even a thing.
If I were to see Earth now, I would have to travel in a ship that goes almost the speed of light
Those are a thing.
I recently learned that humans use things that broadcast what's happening.
Humans really love knowing what's going on.
So do we.
So many different climates you have. I've heard that theres a disease going on in the world.
I know everything going on in Earth. All of the wildfires, something about competing was going on also.
Humans seem like very competitive creatures.
The fact that humans do not know we exist is crazy.
At least, no humans that we know of.
Someone has now told me that a huge asteroid is heading to Earth.
The asteroid's atoms can be manipulated and moved with electron beams, in which we have.
I go get an electron beam, get on an automated almost light-speed ship, in which you simply have to type in how long the distance is from your destination and then boom.
I'm there.
I use the electron beam, carefully and only focusing on the astroid.
Atoms make up everything, so I can separate the astroid's atoms.
And, voila, we're done with all that.
I get back into the near light-speed rocket, and I get back in a few hours.
I literally just saved a planet.
I'm back, and I decide to go and check what's happening in Earth now on my laptop.
It mainly talks about how an astroid was neutralized, I'm popular now I guess.
Thousands of things are about what just happened they've noticed the ship, I realized.
If they find out it was me, things will be bad and good.
Oh, they know it's me, and theres a literal picture of me, and now I'm ultra famous, but this is bad.
Phew, nobody believes anyone now.
Some of the headlines say things like;

"Space cat neutralizes threat, many in disbelief."
"Did a cat just destroy an astroid? Many think not, but some agree."
"Large astroid that could of been threat destroyed. Whatever destroyed this may be able to destroy Earth, and scientists are working to find what the actual thing was and where it came from."
Yeah, the last one is the worst. It's all over the news also, everyone knows about it.
I should just send over a note to them to prove my existence.
I ask someone, and they nod, but walk away to another room, then come back to where I am, confirming their answer.
A bit strange, but alright.
Let's see if anything else notices something about the astroid.
Wow, professional news services believe it all too.
Now, I just have to wait until they all realize the note.



They found the note.
People are now rushing to see it themselves.
Now everyone believes everyone.
I just had an idea, I should go to Earth myself.
Bad idea but maybe it'll work.
Earth as in close to it but not on it.
Of course I will bring things in case I get sucked into the atmosphere.


Alright, I'm there now.
Yes, I'm still in the ship.
I've never been this close to it.
It doesn't look too populated.
I guess some things can't be seen from space.
Theres a lot of water.
You know what, I'm getting closer.
Too close, now I'm falling into Earth.
I've been falling into it from the start, now I'm more aware of it.
I forgot, the ship needs to literally be recharged sometimes.
At least it doesn't pollute anything.
In other words, I'm falling into Earth and can't do anything about it.
I know, scary, right?
Why am I being so calm about this?
I've officially crashed.
Well, at least the doors still work.
Hmm, a lot of trees.
I bet the entire Earth doesn't look like this.
Oh, theres humans.
Are humans everywhere?
Anyways, I can't let humans see me again.
I climb up a tree, there's a bird, and very different to the ones we have on my home planet.
Does it notice me?
I'm just gonna... get on another branch.
Alrighty, the humans have passed.
Welp, now what, I can't do much anymore.
My ship has literally broken down.
Well, since I still have everything to survive, I also have things that tell you where you are.
Apparently, I'm in Virginia.
Which is in the United States.
Which is in North America
The humans are walking back.
They found my ship.
They are literally touching all over it.
Welp, no getting out of Earth now.
Wait, the doors don't lock if the ship isn't charged.
Of course they got inside of it.
They also had these, uh, phones I think they're called?
And they had a flashlight.
I hear them in there, and they're both real dramatic
I keep notes in my ship, in which the thing I write on is a device that you can type on and I wasn't thinking humans would go in there.
They can, and maybe will, steal my notes.
They're out, and yes, they stole the device.
They're still being really dramatic.
You know what, I should follow them.
If they can steal from me, than I can steal from them.
They've gone a safe distance away from me, so I follow them now.
I keep my footing very light.
