Two heroes stand back to back holding their swords, ringed by red-eyed aliens marked with strange runes.
Hero 1: Well, it looks like they have us surrounded. It’s been good knowing you.
Hero 2: I could wish for no better death than to go down fighting beside you.
Two aliens stand in the foreground, looking on at the heroes.
Alien 1: Our attempts at communication still aren’t working. What if we brought in more translators?
The view zooms out to show that the heroes are surrounded by a gigantic horde of aliens trying to hold up signs or make gestures.
Alien 2: I don’t think that’s going to help, sir.
P.S. Our bills are paid by our wonderful patrons. Could you chip in?
Aliens trying to communicate with them rather than attacking them? Neat!
If you find that neat, Oren wrote an article about how aliens aren’t going to be hostile towards us. Its good, it’s written by Oren after all.
Aw, thanks! This is the article if anyone is curious.

Thankyou Oren and Star of Hope!
Maybe if the aliens… spoke… veeery… sloooowly…
And loudly.
That subverted my expectations. I thought they would die, now they would harm these peaceful people.
Yes, that’s a pretty nice subversion.
