Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts?
We are making some progress here. First of all, we have secured some genetic material. A paltry amount, I assure you. The subject will not miss it. As for the subject, he is calming down, having accepted his situation, and we have succeeded in managing some fragmentary communication with him. The fact that the subject's vocabulary seems limited to a surprisingly small group of words and phrases has made it a bit difficult to communicate clearly, but he says he will tell us anything we want to know for a "two four of beer". Upon further questioning we have ascertained that beer is a bubbly beverage containing alcohol. This may explain the unusually large traces of alcohol that permeate this individual's cells. Really quite remarkable! We have seen this before, but usually not to such an extent as this time. As I say, remarkable!

The subject has been reclothed in a silver space suit, and he looks almost Greyan. Well, I exaggerate! He looks vaguely Greyan. I was being humorous.

He says that we can obtain a large amount of beer from a certain building if we will just go there late at night and get in somehow when the people are not around. That should not be difficult. He says that if we fly down over Sudbury, he will show us where the building is. We will use stealth mode. It should be "a piece of cake", he says, and I would tend to agree.

He says that the two most valuable things on this planet are beer and "babes". We will have to question him further on the "babes" matter. He may be referring to infant humans. If so, it is admirable that he has such a strong loyalty to the future of his own race, encapsulated, as it were, in its chidren.

Perhaps he is not as degenerate as he appears on first acquaintance.

Considering that this beer beverage is as valuable as he says, we intend to take away as large an amount of it as we can safely get in the cargo areas of the ship. When told of this, he seemed VERY impressed indeed. He says we are "flippin' A-Okay". I think that means "very good".

We will make our move around 3 AM, local Terran time. He says that is the best time to do it. This should really be quite interesting. I look forward to it with considerable anticipation.
