Last Contact

Hey you guys, there's an alien spaceship! In space! Right next to Sunset Station! Obviously, they're here to speak to the intrepid team of astronauts aboard the station, because otherwise, why would they park right next door? Let's all just sit back and wait for first contact. Or, hey, there are whole governments with spacefaring technology! Maybe one of them wants to take a crack at it. Or, I don't know, someone from the surface can do it, with a powerful radio?

Point is, somebody's gotta make first contact, because right now the aliens aren't saying anything at to anyone, and it's driving the planet a little crazy.

Unless... the aliens have made contact! The internet's full of people claiming to be speaking to the aliens, and also of people claiming to be aliens; maybe one of them is telling the truth! Or, maybe the ship isn't even actually there at all! It could be a hologram, an inflatable, a mass delusion, something that would make all of this silence make sense.

You know what? One of the astronauts on Sunset Station will just have to go over to there, knock on the door and introduce themselves. Bring cookies or something.

That is, if they can even find a door.
