To Serve Man (& Women too).

Inspired by Bazalonia Atheistic Right thread How to Cook Humans.
In IC Mode:

Respectfully submitted for your perusal: a Kanamit. Height: a little over nine feet. Weight: in the neighborhood of three hundred and fifty pounds. Origin: unknown. Motives? Therein hangs the tale, for in just a moment we're going to ask you to shake hands, figuratively, with a Christopher Columbus from another galaxy and another time. This is the Twilight Zone.

A race of aliens known as the Kanamits lands on Earth and promise to be nothing but helpful to the cause of humanity. Initially wary of the intentions of such a highly advanced race, even the most skeptical humans are convinced when their code-breakers begin to translate one of the Kanamit's books, with the seemingly innocuous title, "To Serve Man."

Sharing their advanced technology, the aliens quickly solve all of Earth's greatest woes, eradicating hunger, disease, and the need for warfare. Soon, humans are volunteering for trips to the Kanamits' home planet, which is supposedly a paradise.

All is not well, however, when a code-breaker discovers the Kanamits’ true intentions: Their book, "To Serve Man", is a cookbook, and all their gifts were simply to make humanity complacent, much like fattening pigs or cows before they are slaughtered.

Clossing Narration :

The recollections of one Michael Chambers, with appropriate flashbacks and soliloquy. Or more simply stated, the evolution of man, the cycle of going from dust to dessert, the metamorphosis from being the ruler of a planet to an ingredient in someone's soup. It's tonight's bill of fare from the Twilight Zone.

Posted by Miami Shores in IC Mode as it is in episode: The Aliens turn deserts into farmlands, solve all of the worlds problems, now their is no need for wars, military forces around the world disband, the aliens organize tourist trips to thier home planet on thier huge space ships. From each flight they keep humans for food. Awesome Twilight Zone Episode.

OOCC: You may post any views or comments in IC & or OOC, may make an RP out of the elements of it for the very creative RP ers here. Short perhaps.

[OOC: sounds very interesting, could make a good RP. Now, I assume that there would be a point, where the humans realize what is happening, and attempt to fight back, yes?]

On your RP yes, in the story a retiring USA military officer discovers the thruth and the Aliens true intentions, but it is too late as the Space Ship takes him away.

[OOC: I would definately be interested in RP as the Human side of this, or part of it at least.]

In OOC Mode :

The Beatus is interested in an RP on this subject. I was hoping The Beatus would pick up some fellow RP partners. The Beatus probably has some connections of his own.

To splain the concept again: A semi or advanced Alien race somewhat Humanoid looking lands on Earth with so called good intentions. Thier true intentions are too take over Earth for food production of Humans. You may modify or expand the concept. If already done there is always room for a few more with your own twist. Partner up with The Beatus.

As you all know Miami Shorerians taste bad.

In the To Serve Man episode the Aliens are somewhat Humanoid like with huge heads,long arms, as they are about 9 feet tall. Yet you would have to see the episode as I am not a good describer, perhaps ask Tanaara.

I am good at political language talk. Fair at very very short RP storys. If I can even call it that.

I like to use real world nation and regional names, real names of world figures with an NS twist.

Since you all know I am not a very creative RP er. I just do whatever I can with my own NS twist. So at least just a little credit inspired by Miami Shores would be nice.

One night long ago I was half asleep and half awake. But I could not force myself out of bed. I kept hearing a strange craft like noise hovering around the house coming and going. I thought was just a helicopter.

I finally got up to look out the window but it was too late. The next morning I heard on the car radio of persons reporting UFO sightings in my Miami neighborhood. I wish now I had forced myself out of bed and looked, I could have seen a real UFO sighting.

My next door neighbors also reported to me hearing the strange noise, I wonder why they did not look out the window.

I once had a dream at least I think it was a dream, I hope, yeah lol. That I had been abducted by human eating aliens with feathers, half human half birds who could fly. They took me to thier home planet and showed me around. All I remember was standing in front of a whole bunch of bird like aliens as I saw some fly over me.
