Alien: Salutations humans. I am Al. I am from a planet orbiting the star you have named Beetlegeuse. Do not fret, me and my people have come to help you.
Alien: After studying your culture for eight of your solar rotations we are finally ready to make contact. We have learned your language and prepared a peace offering.
Alien: This offering is a statue of the magnifcient creature that most humans keep in their home. From what we can tell you seem to consider them good luck to keep nearby and think they are pleasant company. We agree.
