You know what would be the ultimate irony... if it turned out the extraterrestrials were just boring average beings with crappy mundane lives.

What if the "Alien Queen" was a middle aged woman who worked at the Dollar General store in town and cooked meatloaf or tuna casserole for her family when she got home at night.

Her feet hurt from working all day, and her pants didn't fit very well because she gained weight after she had a kid. Her teeth need some work and she's displeased with her station in life and wishes she could look like the women in the fashion magazines.

Her male counterpart was the assistant manager at the tire store and was balding. He drank cheap beer and watched football on the weekends.

Instead of a space ship with a warp drive, they drove a shitty old Dodge Caravan that had a "Check Engine" light that wouldn't stop flashing.

They were supposed to study humans and make timely reports on the state of the world, they just stopped doing the reports sometime last year and said "Fuck It" nobody cares so why should they.
