4	->People of Earth, I come in peace. You need not fear me, I mean you no harm. However, it is important to note that most of you will not survive the next twenty-four hours. Those that do survive will be enslaved and experimented on. You should in no way take any of this personally; it's just business. So, just to recap: [[WeComeInPeaceShootToKill I come in peace, I mean you harm, and you all will die]]. Gallaxhar out.

21	->"Teasers are usually [[IdleRich rich kids with nothing to do]]. They cruise around looking for planets which haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz them."\
22	"Buzz them?" Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life difficult for him. \
23	"Yeah", said Ford, "they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by [[FirstContactFarmer some poor soul whom no one's ever going to believe]] and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennae on their heads and making ''beep beep'' noises. Rather childish really."

26	->It is one thing to legislate the world's response to this alien dawn; it is quite another for us, as both individuals and communities, to adapt to what is, in effect, a species-wide existential crisis. Our behaviors will inevitably change, now that we know the sky is a gateway to the unimaginable. Countless organizations will spring up to cater to new technologies, new desires, and new fears. Borders will crumble, and new ones will arise. There will be mobs, there will be cults, there will be despots, and, most of all, there will be countless souls in need of support and guidance. Plotting the likely path of the coming societal change is necessary before we can meaningfully prepare for it.

It is a bright object, and it's obviously rotating because it's flashing... it's way out in the distance, certainly rotating in a very rhythmic fashion because the flashes come around almost on time. As we look back at the Earth it's up at about 11 o'clock, about, uh, maybe ten or twelve diameters, uh... I don't know whether that does you any good, but there's definitely something out there."''
