PERSON: "Greetings humans, we are the Greys, we have lived for a billion years across hundreds of Galaxies. "

PERSON: "Oh no, we don't know anything."

PERSON: "So you must have discovered every truth of the Universe."

PERSON: "But you've had billions of years to figure it out, how is that possible?"

PERSON: "Oh, well that's easy. You see there are basically two types of species. One type cares about things like truth, justice, morality, and other nerd shit like that. These speicies are called “truth seekers”."

PERSON: "The other type, our type, cares only about power and expansion. In replicating themselves and increasing their power to destroy others. We call these species the “power seekers”. That's us."

PERSON: "Whenever these two types of beings come into contact, the power seekers always win, wiping out the truth seekers."

PERSON: "God damn nerd. Anyway we are here to destroy your world and take your resources. We usually don't bother with the whole speech."

PERSON: "Wow, that was really insightful, you explained the whole system."
