Who's the fairest of them all? It depends on the species.

Elon delivered another interview with poiseβ€”dapper, and with his 3000-year-old alien rhetoric.

His usual antics drew chuckles from the audience; everyone had anticipated his publicity stunts. In an unbreachable Space X hanger , Elon polished a unique capsule--

It hummed.

His desperate calls to Earth were received by complete silence.

The capsule choked--then blinked. The guttural sound was NOT receptive.

"Return denied. Earth quarantine in effect."

Elon sighed and updated the capsule. "Still can't come home. With this olive green skin, my plastic surgeon's getting too many calls."
