Better and better. We are beginning to think that Earth is worth visiting, despite the face that you are under the rule of violent, delusive psychopaths with weapons of mass destruction. We would most certainly be interested in acquiring some zorros. Also some Hoppalongs, Paladins, Yodellers, and Mavericks. All of these are useful on Krith. How do you suppose we can make an appearance over Washington without provoking a violent military response from whoever is in charge? We would like to set down right beside the big white building with the dome...or not too far from the giant phallus or whatever it is. The one that points straight up. There is a good landing area there for our ships, which are about the size of one of your bigger ocean liners. Can we talk?
