Alien versus predator

David signed his name in the logging in book. Casually he glanced down the list of recorded contacts. Sunspots, casual radio traffic between the Moon and Earth, messages from Mire, not what any of them were looking for. He walked quickly into the great telescope room with the banks of computers recording the photographs from the antique Hubble Telescope. The printer he really wanted to operate remained obstinately silent. The printer that would clatter into life when alien life was detected! For twenty years he had maintained the telescope. His children regarded it as almost joke- Dad´s stargazing. His family, Gloria his wife, Gail his daughter whose university career began tomorrow and lanky, long-legged James the basketball player.

He thought about Gloria´s speech to both of the children at the dinner table earlier that evening.

"You know Gail, before I met your father my family, we lived in Alabama. We were the first of our kind to live there and the jeering the shouting the comments we used to get. My brothers were taunted at, spat at, even punched hit and kicked at. I never got the chance like you have now. You have your whole life ahead of you, you must grasp it and hang onto it because you only have one chance and the chances you get are precious. I have never told anyone this but when I was growing up this was when we just moved into Alabama I was about 5, I knew what was going on from the beginning I could see the looks people were giving me, I could here their whispered comment but worst of all I saw one of us butchered in the street and police officer standing there watching and not doing anything about it and I don´t want you to go through anything I went through. So take this into account when you leave home."

"Clatter, clatter, bang, bang!" the printer went. David whipped his head around and adjusted his ears. Could it be, after 20 years of waiting that he had finally found Alien life. The printer started to print of a load of information. David was racing around making phone calls to people to inform them of what was going on, some people thought he was mad to have such a machine but now it had come into good use.

After about half an hour the message had finished printing out and David began to read it. He imagined the things that he might receive messages like "hello people of earth" "we come in peace" but nothing could have prepared him for what came through the machine. After reading the message in feel back into his chair nearly fainting. He was completely dazed and amazed by the message.
"Come on David what does it say! Who is it from! Where are they!" asked his boos in an excited voice. David pointed to the table where the message lay. After his boss had read it he was almost in much of a daze as David was.
"I think we both know what the Aliens want and I think we should let the American people vote on it, you phone all your Pentagon friends and inform them." Said David in a sad voice; he then walked out of the room. What could the message have said to make such a reaction happen? In David´s boss´ hand the message read,
