->I realize a lot of my intergalactic communication theories revolve around the idea that all aliens are like the ones in ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' that can't tell the difference between fantasy and documentary. But let's not be stupid-- aliens have no idea what's going on. They come to a planet with Google, and their idea of research is [[AnalProbing jamming tubes up a hillbilly]]. They're either morons or '''completely made up'''. But like I said before, let's not be stupid.

->''"I'd say the aliens are as advanced as they are backwards, but that's a gross simplification. It's more like they're a '''mess''' of a society that's managed to stumble upon a couple of advanced technologies. [...] Okay, nothing here but [[SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity our stuff]]. See, this is what I mean. All of our weaponry that's been teleported here is just lying around like it's garbage. If the aliens had our intelligence, they would be hoarding this stuff and studying the hell out of it. Our weapons are obviously better than theirs. Christ, some of our scientists were studying the aliens at Black Mesa while it was ''under attack''! That's how ahead of them we are. And yet they have forcefields, manufacture their own soldiers and use teleporters like they're bus stops. I don't get it."''
