Plot summary
Radio signals begin flooding Earth from the vicinity of Uranus and two ships, each with a crew of four are sent to investigate. The signals are traced to an alien spaceship on Ariel, one of the moons of Uranus. The ships land and all but two enter the alien vessel to converse with the apparently friendly humanoid alien, Vari. One of the two remaining crewmen believe the alien to be malevolent and determines to destroy it.
gollark: I don't know yet.
gollark: Okay, I must de some bugs.
gollark: OH NOT AGAIN.
gollark: I decided to try and copy my Amazon eböök library into Calibre. It seems that they *really* don't want anyone to do that, because due to a minefield of Byzantine file format and DRM insanity I've had to install an ancient version of their Windows client in Wine to even get ebook files in a usable format. Still to do, figure out where it keeps the encryption key. FUN!
gollark: Another super stupid fact: there is an infinite amount of prime numbers.
