If this is the first post by me you are reading here about KREM2 Spokane - the local antenna tv news station I prefer - then you are not more uninformed about this story than any of the masses
I don't know what any of this means
THEY got my attention and now I am trying to figure it out.

"We Is Us"
(from internet transcript)
Do you wanna hear what HoustonMom78
says about Bloodsong?
"Best Wycaro ever!" All caps.
And, uh… [blows]
- [sniffles] …16, 17 exclamation points.
- Oh, wow.
- Is that a new record?
- It's gotta be.
"Spoiler alert, Raban is back
and yummier that ever."
Yummier than ever, I think she means.
"Mmm, mmm, you better belief
he's got my permission to come aboard.
I'd walk his plank any time."
I'm sensing a nautical motif.
A little bit. Think HoustonMom's
off her meds again?
I think HoustonMom would spread her legs
for a grilled cheese sandwich.
[chuckles, blows]
Huh.
Look at that.
[Helen] What?
[Carol] What do you think they're doing?
- What's what doing?
- The planes. Uh, up. Look.
I don't know. What, is that weird?
Yeah, it's weird. Isn't it?
All of them kinda parallel like that.
Huh.
[Carol] Anybody else weigh in?
[Helen] It's all the usual suspects,
plus a few new ones.
Everybody loves it.
You wanna answer a few questions for them?
- What, now? No. No, no.
- Ah, do one quick one.
Let 'em know you're paying attention.
[clicks tongue] "Carol, my husband says
Raban can be my hall pass,
which I don't think is fair
since Raban's not a real-life person,
although I wish he was.
In real-life, was there an actual man
you were thinking of
when you came up with Raban?"
- That's hilarious.
- [truck door opens]
- [truck door closes, engine sputters]
- You wanna tell her the truth?
- [engine starts]
- What do you have to lose?
Put down George Clooney.
- What?
- Nothing.
- What's wrong with him?
- Nothing. Just…
I mean, how about
a hot Brazilian soccer player?
Someone with dreadlocks. Hip it up.
- Just…
- [truck approaches]
…put George Clooney.
It's safer.
- [crashes]
- [car alarm blaring]
[Carol] Shit.
[stammers] Oh.
[grunts, sighs]
Oh.
[alarm continues]
Buddy, you… You okay, buddy?
Oh, Jesus.
[keys jingle]
[engine stops]
Helen, should we call someone?
[sighs]
Helen? [scoffs]
Helen, stop looking at the goddamn ph…

"We Is Us"
(from internet transcript)
Nobody's in charge.
Or everybody's in charge.
Really, there's no such thing anymore.
But-B… There's got to be others like me.
Your situation is a rare one.
There appear to be
11 other individuals like yourself.
[pants] In Albuquerque?
No. In the world.
We have reached out to them.
Like you, they are disoriented.
Understandably.
Rest assured, Carol.
We will figure out
what makes you different.
Figure it out why?
So we can fix it.
So you can join us.
[breathing shakily] Oh, God.
Carol, you still there?
You…
You said my life was my own.
It is. One hundred percent.
So, what happens when I say no?
Carol, once you understand
how wonderful this is…
Carol?

You've reached the Albuquerque Police…
- Yes. Hi. I…
- …emergency number.
- Shit!
- Please remain on the line.
- Fuck!
- An operator will be with you shortly.
- Fuck!
You've reached the Albuquerque Police…

"And death shall have no dominion."
"Dead men naked, they shall be one
With the man in the wind
and the west moon."
"When their bones are picked clean
and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot."
"Though they go mad they shall be sane."
"Though they sink through the sea
they shall rise again."
"Though lovers be lost love shall not."
"And death shall have no dominion."
You found me.
I came back for you.
I came back that day.
I'm sorry.
All right. Enough hypothesising.
The visitors. Are they or are they not
made of subatomic particles?
Subatomic particles... I'm not sure.
What do you think?
I think... probably.
Stabilised by what?
Guess.
I don't know. Maybe... a Higgs field.
So...
if we created a negative Higgs field and
bombarded them with Higgs antibosons
they might disintegrate?
Maybe. You know,
it would take a lot of power.
Shut down all
the noncritical ship functions.
This is just a theory,
you know? We could be wrong.
- Let's find out.
- We'll take the findings back to Earth.
What if they follow us back?
What if what's happening here
happened on Earth on a mass scale?
Don't you see that as a problem?
I think it's a serious mistake
to assume it's benign.
