   Mistakes have been made. I'll be the first to admit it. We were vastly unprepared for this possibility, and haven't been taking care of you. The American people.

   There are many things I could apologize for, but doing so would take time that we do not have.

   By the time you receive this, when the emergency message system is activated across the nation, it'll be too late. We only have a few minutes. At the very least.

   They are already here.

   An army approaches our planetary borders. Soldiers ready weapons that make our nuclear arsenal look like pitiful firecrackers. There is no recourse for what is about to occur.

   I can only say this:

   Some of you really didn't deserve guns.

   Some of you watched far too many late night, B-grade science fiction movies.

   And some of you shouldn't have been allowed to make first contact with a peaceful extraterrestrial civilization.

   Seriously.

   Like.

   What the heck?

   Whoever shot at their ambassador, I hope it was worth it. Feeling like you helped defend the Earth. Idiot.
