The Worst One
To/From: dlansky@cascade.internal.gate, gisling@cascade.internal.gate
I've decided which one it is.
Which what?
The worst one.
Oh, right. Which one?
It's 101.
That one doesn't count.
Why not?
We don't actually know where that one is.
Exactly, that's the worst part.
You're gonna have to spell that one out for me.
We sent out a message - an actual physical invitation - asking intelligent E.T. to contact us, but then when they DID actually reply those bastards intercepted it. Just stole the whole message somehow. No-one can prove they did it, but everyone's too scared to admit it happened because of how bad it makes them look. It's the perfect crime, except they're not just screwing over the entire human race. They're screwing another race of creatures we've never even met yet. Worse, the rumour is that it's made of stellar matter, so even if we did get our hands on it, we couldn't read it.
I still think 107 wins.
Not in our lifetime it doesn't.
