"Who better than a pair of obscure, quirky comedians to bumble our way into first contact with an alien species? At least we’ll be able to laugh about it when we make the inevitable missteps."

As always, thanks to Isaac Arthur and the SFIA team for the inspiring theme! Based on the SFIA theme: "Dumbest Alien Invasions" Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sj2lORVrq0

About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story based on the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this and I have fun writing them. So far so good, I think.

Thanks for stopping by!
