Be Good to Each Other

Not read that... not sure I'd want to honestly. I'm cynical enough as it is. But yeah, sounds like the Lizards understand humans.

Well.. yes... but you must admit, that was a really dumb design for an alien menace. I mean, a giant squid monster from another dimension that teleports in, materializing half-in and half-out of a bunch of buildings... even with the stinking corpse for evidence, people are going to have a hard time buying that, it sounds like a bad B-movie. [and the whole 'psionic death scream' thing.. phooy!]

Now, an oncoming swarm of Van Neumann machines bent on converting every last bit of metal into more of themselves, and just coincidently wipe out anything organic in the way... that would scare people! They don't even have to be smart, just like a swarm of army ants doesn't have to be. People could instantly grasp the menace part of that with no explanation.
