Hey guys!

What are you gonna do?

Yeah, I just got here.

No, the place is totally amazing.

Yeah, clean, air-conditioned, relaxing.

Dude, I told you it'd be great.

Okay, look, I gotta meet the real estate lady and give her the check, so let me

call you back.

Alright, bye.

Yeah, a guy can definitely get some work done in a place like this.

It's better and better.

This just gets better and better.

Might put you to sleep.

Sorry, I didn't expect you.

Are you... Lovely.

Yeah, we exchanged emails.

We did.

Sorry for staring.

I don't see many people around here.

It's alright. We all space out sometimes, right?

We do.

So I'm guessing you don't get too many people renting this place?

No.

I don't know why.

New Mexico is just so beautiful.

It's the middle of nowhere. The desert.

Not a lot of pedestrian traffic.

Yeah, this house is great.

It is.

Maybe I can show you around see if you have any questions start with the

upstairs

I hope your friends like the bedrooms.

Hey, Judy.

We're all grad students.

We're just sleeping on floors and couches.

Where do you go to university?

Colorado. Well, Denver.

Oh, you're a long way from home.

Yeah, it's more of a working, studying kind of vacation.

What are you studying?

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I asking too many questions?

It just gets a little lonely out here sometimes.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm studying a biocultural anthropology.

Well, theoretical biocultural anthropology.

That sounds mysterious.

No, not really. It's just the research of two cultures and how they affect each

other. Especially when a more technologically advanced culture begins

to research and collect data on a more primitive one.

Kind of like how the pilgrims did with the Indians.

What's theoretical about that?

Well, I'm also interested in who might be researching us.

Us? Human beings.

It's also known as Xenon Anthropology. The study of alien cultures.

Aliens?

How fascinating.

Really? See, I usually have to dance around the whole little green men UFO

idea. It's not something I like giving out PhDs for. Because it's so far

-fetched? Something like that. It makes you sound like a crazy person, I guess.

I don't think it sounds crazy at all.

See, I love hearing that, because that's why I chose this place.

I'm taking a side trip over to Roswell while I'm here.

Really?

I'm hoping there's something there I can use in my dissertation.

Just something that'll help me sound just...

A little less like a crazy person.

There's a place nearby you should check out.

Called Corona.

Corona? It's where the actual Roswell UFO crash took place.

Okay. I didn't know that.

Thanks.

It's not one of my favorite places.

There's not much there.

Should we check out the pool?

Not a fan of the sun, huh?

No. Yeah, me either. I burn like crazy.

The spa and the pool should be in great working order. I did have a man over

recently to service them.

Great. I probably won't be using them much, but I'm sure my friends will.

So that's the place. I hope you like it.

Yeah, it's perfect.

There is something I didn't mention in our correspondence, however.

What's that?

I used the last spare room upstairs as something of an office.

I didn't mention it in the listing. I'm sure you can understand why.

You mean the owners don't mind?

Oh, the owners are never here. Almost never here.

Where, they travel, or...? I hope you don't mind if I do a little work here

during the week. I promise you'll never know I'm here.

It's not a problem at all, and I'm sure my friends don't mind.

Well then, that concludes our business.

The check?

Oh, sorry.

And if I were you, I'd recommend the spoils of war.

The what?

Claim the master bedroom.

Thank you.

Really, George?

How was the trip?

Man, it sucked. I listened to this guy's tunes all time. He was stiff.

You could listen to really bitch about my tunes the entire trip. You know what?

Whatever. I'm just glad you're here.

How'd I do?

You said this place has internet access, right?

Uh, yeah, as far as I know.

Jesus, man. Listen to Grandpa over here already thinking about work.

Yeah, man, two things.

How's the pool and where's the beer at? Pool's good. Yeah? Awesome, because I

need a dip, so let's go.

Oh, come on, you two. There's going to be plenty of time to study and write

your papers and print it and it all matters.

But I need a dip now, so let's go.

Finally did something right for once.

Been in yet?

Nah. I'll go change. Oh, hell no. Don't be a wimp, man.

I'm getting in right now. Let's go.

Okay.

Let's go.

Oh, God.

What the fuck?

I'll be back for it.

Oh, man, how'd you find this place?

You know, it was the weirdest thing.

Put my email up on just a few rental boards, and wham, Evelyn finds me.

Who's Evelyn?

Yeah, about that.

Oh, great, and here comes the catch.

I told you for this price there'd be a catch.

No, it's just she uses the last room upstairs in the office, and she's a

little odd.

Is she here?

As far as I know.

Is she hot?

In a milky kind of way.

Nice. It's the kind of catch Daddy likes.

Into my room.

I got work to do.

Yeah, of course you do.

Find my own room?

You got plenty of choices.

I gotta go change too.

Hey, how about Roswell?

Research. Yeah, I'll work no play at them.

There'll be plenty of time for that later. Uh-huh.

Do me a favor and be sure and tell the others about Evelyn when they get here.

Yeah, sure.

Yo, hey, which room she staying in?

Uh, last room, second floor.

Cool. I'm gonna take the room next to her.

Feeling kind of lucky.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm trying to work my mojo.

Yeah, whatever. Hey, look, I'm heading out to Roswell. We'll be back later this

afternoon.

Okay, Dana should be here soon, and Max and Jack in a few hours.

Hey, thanks for putting this together.

No worries. I'm just going to work time.

Mexico is a state strongly imbued with a history of culture clashes.

Multiple Native American tribes shared and warred over the lands for thousands

of years.

The arrival of Coronado brought Spanish occupation.

Mexico ceded from Spain, claiming the land as its own. Over the ensuing years,

both France and the Republic of Texas would claim portions of it.

and finally the united states would exercise its control of the area by

buying the land fighting its own wars and ultimately eradicating and

relocating many of the original native populations with all of this history

would it then be so out of line to assume that the most alien of cultures

might also come here to explore research and stake its own claim for dominance

Anybody home?

Can I claim this land for me?

Hello? Hey, willy boy!

Yo, Dana, man.

Do yourself a favor.

Go ahead and take a load off and jump into it. Or don't.

So what's the hacks?

Man, Adam's on some research field trip. George is up in his room working on his

term paper already, so I ain't gonna see him for the rest of the week.

And... Oh yeah, there's some mysterious MILF who may or may not be here doing

something.

Is there beer?

That's all I needed to know.

Be a good boy and grab me one.

You want a beer?

Roswell, New Mexico.

In 1947, an alien spacecraft was reported to have crash-landed in the

region, and the alien occupants taken away by the military in an incident they

later reported as the crash of a weather balloon.

The conspiracy theories continue to this day, leading the town's very name to

conjure images of alien contact more than any city in America, and over the

years, the town has been happy to cash in on the notoriety.

Hey, the effect is pretty nice.

The most random stuff in here though.

Who is

this

fool?

Adam Dragic?

Nope.

No, it's not too late Oh,

yeah

Hey, you gotta watch what you got there.

Ha! Ha!

Yes!

You're looking nice this morning, man.

Love.

I didn't.

That's a nice view out there.

Let's see if this fool's out here.

Come on, man. Where you at?

Okay, guys.

This is not funny.

Come on, guys.

You know I don't like being stressed.

Wow, man.

Thank you.

I think that's what I'm doing.

What is this?

terrestrial explorers and anthropologists throughout the ages have

several things in common at least the ones we can qualify as successful unlike

the ones found in movies they don't come in guns blazing anarchy and pillaging

their only goal they instead arrive peacefully doing their best to learn

about this new society to fit in as best as they can they engage in research

learning and assessing and doing their best to understand a given culture and

its people I believe the same could be said for extraterrestrial explorers.

I just spoke to William on the phone.

He and Danny and George are here somewhere.

No, they're not.

Willie boy, how's it going?

What's up, man?

Look at this place. How do you think it's going?

Yeah, no kidding. Adam did something, right?

Finally.

So, what's the catch?

Man, don't be such a hater. Besides, I asked about that already. The only thing

we kind of got to worry about is a mystery mill frontier.

Haven't been able to find her yet, but otherwise, man, go nuts.

Hey, I want to take a nap.

Where's Dana?

Oh, he's in the gym, man. Yeah, there's the gym.

Nice. Oh, hey, also, I recommend getting in the pool now. And if you don't,

you're a douche.

Well, we wouldn't want that.

All right, I'll see you in a little bit.

Fair enough.

Hey, Max has arrived.

Evelyn, you in there?

You know, most of the guys are here and I'd hate for you to accidentally see any

of us naked or anything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There's no towels here.

So? That's what the sun's for.

Take a load off.

I should get some work done. I have two research papers to write. That's why

we're here, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's plenty of time to be productive.

Creativity takes patience.

It takes time for the cake to rise.

What the hell are you talking about?

You're a finance major.

Yeah, and I like cake. Now just drip dry and stop interrupting my tea.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

No, it's fine.

I'm Evelyn.

Your friends may have told you I'm going to be working around here for a bit.

Yeah, no problem.

Nice place.

Yes, it is.

I'm glad your friend found me.

It's meant to be.

It's safe to assume an alien culture visiting Earth has technology far

outpacing ours.

And if they can make it to our planet, wouldn't they also explore the myriad of

other planets capable of sustaining life?

So my hypothesis is this.

Alien explorers would best be served by covert intelligence gathering. Living

among us. Studying us. Gathering samples.

Basic anthropological study.

They would no doubt build data for a report that would be used to help

ascertain what their leader should do next.

And what are the possibilities for Earth's survival?

Given the human species' own track record for treating indigenous peoples,

I don't think it would be pretty.

It's Max. I just took a nap when I came back. I found him like this.

Max, come on, man. Hey, Max.

This breathing and pulsing will be fine.

Did he fall down and hit his head, maybe?

Max.

It looks like a puncture wound.

How the hell do you know that?

It's a lot of law and order, man. But hey, look, man.

This is out of my league. I need you to go in and call an ambulance.

Max.

It's inside me.

Max?

Hey, man, what's inside you?

Talk to me, Max. Max.

Max.

Don't go in there.

What?

Jack!

Jack? Jack,

hey, stay with me, man.

Hey, who did this to you?

I did it to Willie, and now I'm going to do it to you.

Oh,

it's your friend Adam.

I look forward to hearing what you found at Roswell.

Why are you doing this? What happened to my friends? Where'd they go?

So full of questions.

That's something I rather admire about you, even in the face of your own

extinction. What are you talking about?

I've already said too much, but I want you to know that your sacrifice and the

sacrifice of your friends has done so much to aid our cause.

Scientifically, potential technological advances, natural resources.

You have so much to offer us.

You're crazy, you know that?

I am a scientist.

And frankly, I can't wait to get out of this ridiculous costume and off of this

terrible outpost.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

That really was unbecoming of my station.

Why is he like that? What did you do to him?

Jack! Jack, wake up, man!

Stop shouting.

Your friend is done.

I've already extracted what I need from him, and he ministered the sleeping

agent.

Talk about... What's going on? Where are my friends?

I really don't like to discuss it with the subjects. It tends to make them just

a teensy bit over-anxious.

But since you are such an inquisitive one, I'll tell you.

My form allows me remarkable trust.

I simply ask a strong young man for help.

They can never say no.

Sometimes it's easier to just incapacitate a subject, particularly if

the examination is going to be more physical in nature.

and mostly require various samples of brain tissue, sentient electrical data,

and the like.

It's a primarily painless process.

Your friends are all dead or dying now, of course.

A natural byproduct of the research, but not unappreciated.

Now, do you have any more questions?

Well, then let's begin, shall we?

This isn't funny.

Really bad joke.

Adam, hello.

Hey, where are my friends?

How was Roswell? Did you find everything you needed?

Are they playing some kind of prank or something?

Oh, they're around. I think they said something about beer. That must be it.

Come inside.

Tell me about it. I'm very interested, but it's very, very bright out today.

Come, tell me.

Could you help me?

There's a box of files I'd like to put in the closet in my room.

It's too heavy for me. Yeah, sure. Okay.

You know, where are my friends?

Adam, you are usually much less difficult than this.

Ow! What are you doing?

I am trying to reverse your treatment.

And it would have worked a lot better if you hadn't pulled away before I could

fully inject you.

Please. What did you do to me?

You have work to do, Adam.

We have work to do.

What are you?

This should be our final round of gathering to live.

Then we can go home.

We don't belong here, Adam. You know this.

We have work to do.

I'm human. I'm... No, I...

You just need to rest.

Then you'll remember.

Are you still Adam?

I gave you enough transomethulose to be able to reverse the persona by now.

Your other personas were not so difficult.

Who am I?

You're exactly the thing that you were most fascinated by.

You've been many personas.

You've been a pilot, a mailman, a government agent, a veterinarian, and

now a student.

All have been very, very helpful in obtaining samples and various other

useful data.

Where are my... those other men?

They've sacrificed themselves for the greater good.

But don't worry.

I harvested great portions of their brain matter and managed to save most of

their intellectual pursuits for study at a later time.

I see.

They're dead?

You know as well as I do that even our technology can only keep a partially

functioning human being alive for so long.

And their bodies are terribly frail.

We have work to do.

Yes.

Job.

Infiltrate.

Gather. Report.

Yes. Yes.

You, the real you, you're coming back.

The real me?

Yes. And perhaps a booster, just to be sure.

I know who I am.

Good. And this should help sort you out.

What?

I know who I am.
