There's predictably no way to help out with that, right? So... all we really can do to help is stay out of your hair and live our lives out here, is what I'm guessing.

I'm new to the whole alien-space-being thing and I get I probably won't understand a lot of it but... it'd be nice to get to know you for all of our shit you have to take on. Like those blurbs on the front covers of books, about the author?
