THE BEACON
Marbles, Pogs, and Radio Waves
RD explains that his arrival was facilitated by the sun and a pair of synchronized radio beacons broadcasting across the “hydrogen line.” However, he inadvertently reveals that these signals are actually a cosmic test to see if local civilizations are clever enough to manipulate matter.

Q. Did you get here from a pulsar?
Reptiliandude: Actually, it was your own sun. How on Earth would I get all the way over here from a pulsar?
(The beacon) It’s an actual contraption. Traveling in pairs distant from each other but holding to pretty much the same course but light years apart. One screams out “HYDROGEN LINE” at the top of its lungs using radio waves and the other follows to see if anyone has the brains to figure out how to make marbles and pogs out of the stuff. Oops… Well, that was awkward.
