Okay, how about a rocket dog with spaceship?

Spaghetti with meteor?

Galactic grape cup?

Elio, you have to eat something.

You remember what your mom used to order for you?

Matrix, I leave.

What are you doing here?

Hey, I'm with my nephew.

I'm trying to get him to eat.

Oh, right.

Your nephew.

I heard about your brother and his wife.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

We're managing.

What about the astronaut program?

No, not anymore.

But timing just isn't right.

Of course.

But it's been great spending time with my new roommate. Right, buddy?

Oh, no.

Hello from the children of planet Earth.

Since the dawn of time, humans have gazed at the stars and wondered, are we

alone?

Voyager is our attempt to find out.

This intrepid explorer is on a mission, traveling farther than any human has

ever gone.

to the distant reaches of the cosmos and beyond.

Voyager will never see those who made it again.

It will drift on, solitary and alone.

But maybe one day, distant worlds will receive its message, and Voyager will

complete its mission, proving we aren't so alone.

Are you hurt?

What happened? What happened?

Is life really out there to you, Olga?

What? Come on.

You can't run away like that, Elio.

I would like to extend the greetings of the government and the people of Canada.

Hello from the children of planet Earth.

find yourself living in a shotgun shack and you may find yourself in another

part of the world and you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large

automobile and you may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife

and you may ask yourself

Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was.

Same as it ever was.

Elio? Who wants to know?

You put flyers up for a ham radio club?

Uh, I am Elio Solis, president and leader of the ham radio club

of this beach.

Cool. I'm Bryce.

Great, cool, awesome.

Did you bring it? Oh, yeah.

It's my dad's ham radio, but I have my own call sign. It's BXLO.

What sometimes makes people I talk to laugh.

How far have you called? On Friday, I talked to...

Ohio.

Oh. If I can pair these together, I can double their reach.

Okay, you can go now. Go?

Wait, where is everyone else?

Unfortunately, most of our members came down with amnesia and forgot to come.

But I'll see you at the next meetup in three months. What's up, Bryce?

Hey.

I'm going to... You almost messed up there.

Uh -huh. Oh, yeah.

Swish. Nice.

This is Caleb.

He wanted to come, too.

Oh. Hey.

What's with the hat?

Like I said, the meetup's been postponed.

Shingles is no joke. I thought it was amnesia. Oh, my God. You're right. He's

spreading. You better go free. Joe, what's up with this guy? Dude, chill.

He's a kid whose parents died. Hey, that's classified information.

As leader of this radio club, I hereby... Did you do that?

Is this supposed to happen?

yo that was not my fault i didn't oh come on

Skipping school?

Am I going to have to put a tracker on you?

Now your eye.

The doctor said not to touch it for two weeks.

Elio! Oh, you meant starting now.

This is serious.

What were you thinking? I was minding my own business, taking in the night air,

and suddenly these ruffians attacked me. No, no, no, no, no, no. Look at me in

the eye and for one, tell me the truth.

No,

I'm not learning Elio E.

You going to the seminar tonight?

There'll be a speaker from the astronaut selection program.

No, no, no. Something came up. Oh, is this the nephew we've heard so much

Yes, that's him.

Gluto!

We don't know if this is boundary testing or sleep regression.

Which one of these is you?

I don't know, but I think that one is you.

I've got one last meeting, so I need you to sit here and not move or speak or

injure yourself for ten minutes.

I have enough to deal with already.

What's with this emergency meeting?

Oh, you didn't hear?

Melnick thinks he found an alien.

All right, Mr. Melmac, let's hear it.

Major police.

Major police.

Earlier today, I found this signal coming from Interstellar Space.

Melmac, please, it's late. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

In 1977, NASA launched the Golden Record. The Golden Record, yes!

The what? The Golden Record, sir, was Earth's message in a bottle.

Hello from the children of planet Earth. Don't you see?

Hello, planet Earth. I think someone in interstellar space found our message and

is sending it back to us as a reply.

Melmack. Major.

Melmack. Major! We can't just leave it like this. We have to respond. I've

already rerouted every satellite to send a signal back. It might cause a few

failures.

Sir, we need a small electrical fire. But it would be worth it for first

contact.

I have everything queued up and ready to go. Just say the word.

If someone or something is calling out to Earth, who on Earth do you want

that call?

You should go home.

Take a week.

You've got to believe me. Major, please.

They're out there.

May I remind everyone that we are orbital analysts. We track space debris,

rogue UFO signals.

Let's just... Let's just take five. It's been a long night.

of the planet earth uh i come in peace and i'm super excited to join you

uh i'm creative hardworking shredded uh so please come and get me i'll be

waiting okay bye i love you

Take full responsibility, but, I mean, you have kids, right? I'll be out of

way soon. Don't worry. Just need a few snacks for the road. Elio! I'm sorry, ma

'am. What was that? Which William is Billy? Fuego? Fuego. Yeah, I understand.

Can I take a walk? What do they think of weapons?

Not worth the risk. I'll bring you food.

Nice, peaceful food.

Where's my good taste?

It's not in the works, is it?

Ah, here it is.

Elio! Blue or green? Which one says take me with you? But not in a desperate

way. Elio, stop!

Please!

Aliens are not...

Coming for you.

But that guy said... You're out of control.

You got in a fight. You shut down power to the whole base. And I almost lost my

job.

We have to try something different.

Boarding school?

You're trying to get rid of me. No, this is just their sleepaway camp. It's just

a couple of weeks. I can't go. They're coming tonight. You need to make

Well, just a friend. I don't care about friends. I need to meet aliens. Why?

Because there's 500 million...

planets out there and one of them's gotta want me! Because obviously you

Of course I do! We're family! You're not my family!

Your life isn't up there, Elio.

It's down here.

When I drop him off tomorrow, I'm going to see if I can enroll him in the hall.

I know, but... It just isn't how I thought my life would be.

It's an ancient human being. You can find it in virtually every culture, in

religion, folklore, superstition, and now in science.

The search for light elsewhere is...

remarkable in our age because this is the first time that we can actually do

something besides speculation.

We can send spacecraft to nearby planets.

We can use large radio telescopes to see if there is any message being sent to

us lately.

And it touches to the deepest of human concerns.

Are we alone?

You know, I went here too when I was a kid.

You might not believe me right now, but this will be good for you.

Oh, Counselor Truman, could I have a word? Of course, ma 'am.

We've got so much trouble.

Because of you.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

scare him a little. Come on, it'll be funny.

Greetings, Earthling.

Where'd he go?

Athena 5, there's a decommissioned satellite headed your way. I'm

new flight path for you.

Stand by.

Yeah, copy that.

Sorry about the scare.

There's been a lot of satellite interference today.

This is payback. Hey, it's okay. You don't need to pay me back.

Wait, what is that?

Hope you like how it tastes.

There's something back there.

You're so dead so easy. Hey, hold on.

wait on this uh spaceship is this a spaceship anyway where should we start

samples

Welcome, glass of lore.

Compliments of the Communiverse.

Thank you!

Wait, the what?

Welcome

to

the Communiverse, a pan -galactic organization of the advanced species of

cosmos.

The greatest minds of the universe have come here to share knowledge,

innovation, and recipes.

Welcome. Welcome.

Greetings, ambassadors.

Absolutely. That is to make your acquaintance.

Oop, you've run dry. Let me top you off, old brick.

Thank you.

Yes. One cerebellum, four lobes, and a medulla.

Do you mind if I take a little peek inside and see?

Questa, don't mind reading. You've just met him. I'm so sorry about that. I am

Questa of Gob.

Addressed to our new candidate, Elio Salit of Earth.

Now come, everyone's eager to meet you.

Hello. Now here created the community we'll use with controls for gravity,

temperature, and all known languages.

This

is

my most recent design.

Hello. I am a universal abuser, then. I contain the secrets of the universe.

What is the meaning of life? What lies beyond a black hole?

Is there a... Who would win in a fight? One gorilla with a baseball bat? Or ten

chimps? None who fight are true winners.

Huh?

The gorilla.

These little critters are mean mobsters.

They use nanotechnology to construct anything you desire.

Are you kidding me? How dashing!

It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

This is the bathroom.

were looking for me. Of course we were looking for you. Ever since we picked up

this charming little spacecraft you sent us.

Voyager? We found it in an asteroid field.

Nice craftsmanship.

Um, thanks?

Curious about the species who made it? We sent an invitation and would like

you receive your planet's official reply.

very touching we are delighted to finally make your acquaintance leader of

oh why is your face melting

Oh dear, you should hurry. Quickly now. Excuse us.

Please join us.

Your technology and my weapons would be an unstoppable alliance.

Now, admit me to your communiverse.

Unfortunately, candidate Gragon, it is our assessment that you are not a fit.

I, Lord Grygon, Blood Emperor of Hyrule, am not a fit.

Well, we believe in tolerance and open -mindedness.

I am tolerant!

I'm sorry.

It's not you.

It's us.

I thought we said it was him. If I cannot join the Kim Universe, then I

take it by force!

Prepare to be bugged!

Why did he make a new home? I suggest we run and hide. Yes, let's go to the edge

of the cosmos and turn off all the lights.

Uh, that includes me, right?

Oh, oh, sorry, candidly.

We couldn't possibly accept new members under the current situation.

Applications are closed indefinitely.

But I just tried to! Such a shame.

Check back in a few thousand years. Perhaps one of us could talk to Lord

You do it. Not me.

I am shut.

I'm busy.

Don't worry. I'll return you to your life on Earth just as it was.

You would talk to Lord Grygon? Are you an expert on conflict negotiation?

You kidding? My life is nothing but conflict. And I've got the battle scars

prove it.

It would be a welcome change not to flee every bully who covets our treasures.

If you can make Dragon go away, we'd make your member on the spot.

Then I, the leader of Earth, am ready to serve.

Candidate Salim, you continue to surprise. When Dragon returns, we shall

ready for him. Until then, as you say on Earth, okay, bye, I love you.

would descend into chaos that's what cloning play is for

Sorry. It's a living.

So, what is my motivation?

What do you mean?

Should I change anything or just stick with the low self -esteem and

to belong? What?

I'm normal. Just be normal.

No weird stuff, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Have fun.

Intriguing. The warlord awaits.

It was that.

Just a few things I wanted to brush up on. What was that thing that knew

everything about everything? You mean this?

Hello. I am a universal user's manual.

Would you like to learn the meaning of life now?

No, I need everything you've got on how to negotiate with the warmonger.

Certainly.

I have chapters on leading with empathy.

Nope. Fostering connection.

Nope. Making the killer deal.

Yes, that one. Do you have a pen?

In the increasingly likely event that you will die, would you like to notify

your next of kin on Earth?

No, that's okay.

Start from a position of power. The most important thing is to stay calm.

Don't you tell me to stay calm. What is this, huh? A camp or a fight club? He's

an innocent little boy. And if this is what you call being a character, then

I'll pick it up with your boss.

Everyone's boss.

Unacceptable.

I never should have left you here.

Yeah, thank you. Chase me because I'm weak and small.

But there was pizza for dinner. So overall, a pretty good night. How's the

Swollen? Did they hurt it? It's fine. I'm so sorry to check in. Something

was happening.

That's okay. I was tracking this crazy signal from space.

Are we going home? What's for dinner?

Um, mac and cheese.

I just thought you'd be interested because if aliens were calling from

Alien? Are we doing regular?

Or white cheddar. I'm starved. So you don't want to talk about aliens?

Not really.

I thought it'd be better if I just dropped it.

Really?

That's amazing.

Good for you.

Oh,

I love this song.

Broadness. Patriots. And Johnny Good.

Be confident.

Speak from a position of power.

There he is. The man of the hour.

Sorry I'm late.

So, is Lord Gregon coming here?

Oh, no.

You will be going out there.

Okay. Bye. Love you.

What is this?

Red. Green.

Welcome, Captain.

Believe. You have selected a map of our coordinates.

Cabin process. Shield function.

Abruptness. Ablarm. Ah, we found the mint.

You have set our destination to your home planet.

Uh, Earth?

Confirm or cancel.

What's a heroic pick -up?

This is who the Communiverse sends?

You are more puny than I expected.

I could say the same about you.

Huh? Uh, what do you need to leave the Communiverse alone?

Allergians prefer to go yet with dreams in the air.

Recoil's a little heavy.

Darn, I, uh, left my arm cannon at home. Why don't we, uh...

Use one of mine.

So nice of you.

trick shot perhaps we are able to communicate with those look

at me like some kind of monster how dare they reject me

well if they don't want you why not find

someone who does come again there's gotta be a place out there that was

But is the Communiverse not where the greatest leaders gather?

Am I not great?

Totally. But why waste your life trying to connect with people who don't get

you? It's time to move on.

Right, gray guy?

Gray guy?

Yes.

What worker? What is this?

Your ass. The princeling wants to see you. For the hate of it. And tell him I

busy.

Ethicum Universe. You are a father, right?

Oh, yeah. It is so difficult.

He has no concept of the importance of my work. I get it. If he's too hard to

handle, then just ship him off.

That's what I did with mine. Too hard to handle?

Uh,

I mean... Oh, you think I cannot handle my own son? No, no, no. I don't think

that... No, really.

Tell me.

what I am doing wrong.

It's okay. I'm a man parent too.

What? None of us know what we're doing. We didn't even want this. Let me remind

you who you are dealing with.

The negotiation is over.

Gronk, show the prisoner to his quarters.

Prisoner? What?

You will watch for myself as I destroy your beloved communiverse.

But he was only there for one day. Oh, I overheard the colonel raving about you.

Really? She was?

Gravity, um, off.

Whoa.

Okay, that's enough.

Gravity, back.

Okay, I'll just get back to Gregon.

What haven't I tried?

Bargaining, Chip.

Like, something valuable.

me about questions about me though like what my favorite color is it's purple if

you're asking

Hylerganes get one when they come of age. It's got weapons and bombs and

Ooh, and a cup holder.

It's bespoke.

So, if hylerganes took off their armor, they'd look like you?

Yeah, but nobody would ever do that. To expose your soft, warm flesh would

dishonor you and your whole family for all eternity.

I can't wait to get installed.

I'm gonna look so hot.

Alert! Look, please don't escape!

Look, please don't escape! Are they talking about you?

You wouldn't understand.

Are you a Trudgeworth incident?

Are you an assassin?

What'd you do?

Come on. I'm really gonna keep it secret.

Secret is... I'm a kid.

Dad? I thought you knew.

I look just like him. Check it out.

I've been working on my back.

Can I ask you a big favor?

I've just been ignored.

But now my dad's finally going to pay attention to me. Do your parents pay

attention to you? Well, my Aunt Olga doesn't care. With me out of the way,

can do what she really wants.

Like be an astronaut or whatever. She gave up being an astronaut or whatever

you? Wow.

She must really love you.

No. No, she doesn't.

But now I'm free to join the universe.

ships seem to be pointing the cannon at us. Is this part of the negotiation?

honored to lead the communiverse

I'm optimizing your membership badge right now. Do you like the color?

I'll take care of the bargaining chip. Very good, Candidate Sleaze. Now, does

anyone know Good Capra?

Oh, we did it!

Yeah! You were so c -cold!

Oh, you okay?

I've never been outside before.

It's cold here.

Gravity off?

You think this is cool? Come on!

You're off? The shuttle is ready. Shall we depart?

No, not yet.

The Prince Lean was taken because he was vulnerable.

Exposed. Soft.

Prepare his carapace! But that will take time, your bloodness.

Do it!

We will perform Gordon's ceremony on the Communiverse, and they will wither at

the full might of Hyrule!

So everyone speaks Eloise on Earth?

Nah, just me.

And my parents.

Or at least they did.

My aunt's not into it.

But I keep using it so I don't forget.

Did something happen to your parents?

I know it's not the same, but my mom's gone a lot.

Fighting the blood wars.

I miss her a ton.

Sometimes it feels like dad doesn't even want me.

I know what you mean.

The only people who wanted me are gone.

But, I don't know.

What if... What if there's nothing about me?

I thought Earth was the problem, but what if it's me?

Well, I like you, and you seem fine to me.

Oh, you brought your carapace. I guess so.

But that's good, right?

Yeah, I mean, it has a flamethrower, a circular saw, a shotgun.

It'll get to fight and conquer and kill and... Glordon,

do you not want to get into your carapace?

Yeah, I mean, kind of, well...

No, no.

I've been pretending to want it, but I've been living a lie.

Once I'm installed, I'll never get to play or swim or do anything.

It'll be the worst.

Then why didn't you say something?

Because all I learned kids have to do it. It's tradition.

And if I don't...

I don't have a choice.

We'll figure it out.

I don't know how, but... Oh, wait!

What?

What are we doing?

We're going to give your dad what he wants.

Me? Yes, but also now.

Come on in, Clay.

Are you sure about this? Yeah, why not?

I don't know, but if I'm really fooling my dad, he's pretty smart.

Oh, it's going to work. I'll show you.

Yes. Can I check on my clone? Certainly.

Mmm, that smells good, Papito.

It's a secret recipe. You're gonna love it. Mmm, how are you so good on

everything?

Wow,

I get it done.

It's a win -win -win.

I'm Glordon.

Wow. Am I really that good?

You, follow us. You got it.

You'll be safe in here. No one else can open it.

All right, Glordon. Get in the ship.

But first, get over here kiddo.

probably talk.

And for my next trick, think of a number.

Uh, wait.

Okay, got it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I don't know how much longer we can stall.

I'm sure he'll be here momentarily.

I sense the number is seven.

What? Where is my son?

He's here.

Lord Grygon, we return to you, Prince Lordin. My son, did he harm you?

Nope. Everyone was super nice.

Hmm. Are you prepared to become the greatest war machine in the universe? To

make your enemies tremble at the sight of you? To prove the might of the

Highlanders? Yes, let's do it.

Oh.

Actually, I had more to say. But yes, let us get on with it.

the power of Hylurg.

Witness! Very impressive.

Retreat.

As you have kept your word, I will keep mine and leave this place, never to

return. Hylurgians, fall back!

Well done.

You good, son?

Oh, yeah.

I can't wait to make endless war and pillage the unworthy and bring them...

I have the honor of joining the Communiverse?

The honor would be ours, candidately.

Or should I say, ambassadorsally.

You're one of us now.

Where is my son?

How could you tell?

The father always knows.

You! Read his mind. Find the truth.

No! I'm happy.

I'm so sorry. No!

What did you see?

Your son is in a diplomatic ship in the docking bay.

That's the truth!

Please don't.

He is not the leader of Earth.

He is not the leader of anything.

He is just a child.

Oh, no.

She's wrong.

I am the leader of Earth.

I can still help.

Just please, please let me stay.

He is not there.

But I saw him. We are surprised.

Arrest him.

The Communiverse is now under Allergy and Control!

Don't touch me!

Ow! It's his fault, not ours! Liar!

Betrayer! Coward!

Please, now!

You couldn't find it, huh?

Would you toss me those?

Come on!

Stupid flashlight!

Sorry.

Are you okay?

No, I feel crazy.

I'm on the beach trying to make contact with... I don't know what.

I just feel so alone.

You wouldn't understand.

Actually, I do.

I didn't think you'd miss me.

I missed you.

I've missed everything about you.

But this isn't the life you wanted.

The only thing I want...

Bishop, Gordon's in there. Who?

My friend.

You made a friend?

Nice. Yeah, and he needs our help.

You have clearance, right? Not for this.

There's got to be some way to get in there.

Okay, okay, let me think.

Well,

if you don't need me anymore, I will begin my decomposition process.

Feel free to spread me over a plant as nutritious fertilizer.

Wait!

what it is? Negative.

But Arrow's here. NASA's on the way.

Is it extraterrestrial?

What, like little green men?

Don't tell me you believe in that stuff.

Who's there?

It's a kid.

Hey! You shouldn't be here!

Thank you.

Your friend?

Elio? What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Why didn't you stay where I told you? I'm sorry.

I actually turned on... Gordon?

Gordon! Is he sick?

His disc is broken. It's too cold for him here. Hey!

Put your hands up! Back away from this specimen!

I said back away!

Now!

Smeagly, Smarpy, Blop.

You learned the L -E -O -E's?

Smeagly, Smarpy, Blop.

Blop? Hey, what are you saying? Blop!

Blop!

Glop!

Oh, you mean glop. Stop that! Smarpy!

Olga, you gotta try!

But how?

Please!

Welcome, guest pilot.

Give me your jacket!

I'm so sorry, Gordon. This is all my fault.

Don't worry.

I'm gonna get you home.

Ship, get us to the Communiverse!

Hyperspeed unavailable. Path blocked.

What?

We're in a debris field.

Let's just get out of here. No!

These objects are faster than bullets. But this is what you do.

From the ground.

I don't know where the debris is coming from. I need altitude.

Maybe someone with a ham radio. I don't know.

I bet that UFO is real. Oh, what if they're here for food

and the only thing they eat are hamsters?

Elio. Solis, I'm sorry about what happened.

Caleb can be a real butt sometimes.

It's okay. I was a butt, too.

Look, you might not believe this, but we're an alien ship that just... That's

you? Oh, man, there's a lot of radio chatter about that. Yeah, that's us.

trying to fly through debris, but we need to know where it's coming from.

How's your math? Physics. Are you good at physics? Whoa, uh... Bryce, I really

need your help.

I don't know anything about debris, but I know someone who does.

He's a legend in my radio group. The boss.

The eyes in the sky.

Me. Melmac reporting for duty.

I'll take it from here, TXLL.

Elio, you better come back in one piece, okay?

I'll tell you all about it. Thank you, Melmac. I owe you a huge... Never mind

that, Hanger. A master of ham always helps in a jam.

Ha! Let's get you through this debris field.

I'm pulling up the network now. Get ready.

We need a fixed target.

Orion's belt!

Perfect. Drive straight toward it and be ready to dodge.

Okay. Ship, can you project a grid?

Okay. Melmac, anything out there, hurry before we're out of range. Okay.

Large rocket body, altitude 407 kilometers.

Velocity 7 .66. Got it.

There.

Is anyone there? Please, anyone!

Mayday, mayday, come in! Come in!

Shields at 60%. Shields at

41%.

23 to 7.

Debris at 1 ,300 kilometers.

Velocity 7 .2.

Pull back.

Hard.

Thank you. Thank you. Masters of M at your service. This is Julia from Italy.

This is awesome. 1 ,322.

Velocity 6 .1. This is Anush in Armenia.

Velocity 6 .75. This is Vikram from Mumbai. Debris at 1 ,700 and 53.

Velocity 6 .81.

This is Ryan at Vietnam.

how much he wanted you back.

I... I don't want to be a war machine.

You already know.

Yes.

I may not always understand you, but I still love you.

It's a loose swaddle. Do not have your mother's touch.

You did great.

I have never uttered these words before, but I am sorry.

Release them all.

Congratulations, Ambassador Solis.
