:41:03
We've had contact with them.
:41:06
-Contact ? How ?
-Radio.
:41:08
-They speak our language ?
-Well not quite.
:41:11
We received messages from their space ships.
For a while it came in as just a lot of jumbled noise.
:41:17
And now, Sir ?
:41:19
Well since they first uh tried contact with us by radio,
we've developed a language computer.
:41:25
A machine that breaks down any language to our own.
:41:29
General, uh, what's this all got to do with me?
:41:33
Well you've been in charge of saucer field activity for a long while.
:41:37
I think it's about time you heard these recordings. Do you mind?
:41:40
Mind ? Huh, I'm anxious !
:41:50
This is Eros, a space soldier from a planet of your galaxy.
:41:55
I fully realize our language differences,
however I also know you finally have
:42:00
perfected the dictorobitary, or as you on Earth put it,
the language computer. So you can now understand that which I speak.
:42:09
Since the beginning of your time, we have been far beyond your planet.
:42:13
It has taken you centuries to even grasp what we developed eons of your years ago.
:42:20
Do you still believe it impossible we exist?
You didn't actually think you were the only inhabited planet in the universe?
:42:27
How can any race be so stupid ?
:42:30
Permit me to set your mind at ease.
We do not want to conquer your planet. Only save it.
:42:36
We could have destroyed it long ago, if that had been our aim.
:42:41
Our principal purpose is friendly.
I admit, we have had to take certain means which you might
:42:46
refer to as criminal,
:42:48
but that is because of your big guns
which have destroyed some of our representatives.
:42:53
If you persist in denying us our landings,
then we must only accept that you do not want us on friendly terms.
