* ADegreeInUseless: Donivan’s major in linguistic [[FictionalFieldOfScience unobtainology]] with a minor in [[MacGuffin macguffin]][[MetaConcepts ism]] does not exactly get him a high-paying job. Pretty handy when translating alien writing though.

* TheInternetIsForCats: The invading aliens threaten to blow up the planet unless Earth gives up all of its cats, having come to the conclusion that they are the universe’s cutest species after scoping our internet.
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Within a week, the aliens immediately regret taking all of the cats after taking care of the cats becomes unbearable.

* ShoutOut: When Brad Jones posted it on his site, the description he gave for it was: "A top Russian ballet dancer, who defected to the US, crash lands in his own country. The KGB throws him in Siberia to live with an American expatriate and his Russian wife as a way to convince him to stay in his homeland", the premise of the fairly obscure 1985 movie "White Nights", starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and, in a secondary role, Helen Mirren.

Mr. Donavin (''sic'') majored in xenolinguistics at university, with a minor in {{macguffin}}ism - therefore, he's working as an assistant at a veterinarian's office. All that changes one day when he is approached by a pair of mysterious government agents who can't tell him anything because their security clearance isn't as high as his. What do they want with him? What can he deliver? And what's in the strange transmission that has just been received from another planet?
