The soldiers are going to have to argue about it a lot. And aim guns at each other.

Permalink

...the fuck.

 

...maybe half of the aliens can go with and half can stay here? Compromise!

Permalink

No!!!

Eventually a soldier gets a phone call and group #2 wins the aliens are coming with them.

Permalink

...the aliens accept their invitation. 

Permalink

They are marched through crowded ugly streets! They pass restaurants, a place where people seem to be paying money to hold babies for a little while, an event center, a gym, a lot of apartment and office buildings, and myriad other things.

Permalink

They look around in fascination and sing in Quenya and ask questions about what things are and what they're for.

Permalink

The soldiers are unclear on whether they are supposed to answer questions.

Permalink

...aliens have a lot of questions about that. Are they often not supposed to answer questions? Are the answers somehow sensitive? Do they mind if the aliens ask random passersby?

Permalink

They shouldn't talk to random passersby.

Permalink

Why not?

Permalink

Because they are being marched to the capitol.

Permalink

And the concern is that conversations will slow this down?

Permalink

Sure let's go with that.

Permalink

The aliens start trying to have very short conversations! 

Permalink

Nope hurry along. They shoo confused passersby.

Permalink

Oh, is there a hurry? The aliens can run!

Permalink

NOT THAT FAST.

Permalink

...why not?

Permalink

Soldiers can't keep up.

Permalink

Oh, okay. They can run ahead and then have conversations and then the conversations will not slow progress towards the capitol down.

Permalink

Aliens practice the language and sing and tolerate their unreasonable and confusing escorts.

Permalink

Their unreasonable and confusing escorts make it all the way to the capitol building and then have an argument with the security about whether the aliens are allowed in.

Permalink

 

 

...wow. 

Permalink

Security wins. Then their orders are countermanded and the aliens can come in.
