Circa 2050

Background: Around twenty years ago, extraterrestrials landed on earth in search of a planet that could sustain life after their own was destroyed by a massive meteorite. Their kind came in peace, simply searching for somewhere to live, but humans were afraid of the creatures and attacked them for over a decade. But, in the past few years, several countries including the United States have passed a peace agreement, allowing any species to live, work, and raise families there.

Some people thought this was a great idea, some were neutral, and some thought it was a terrible idea.

Frank worked as an assistant manager at a flying car factory for almost a decade now. Humans obviously don’t build the cars anymore, so Frank is there to maintain the robots, ensure that they’re doing their job correctly, and checking over the cars for any flaws. He’s very good at his job and has been trying to get a promotion for years, when all of a sudden this alien guy shows up and takes the spot as manager!

“I can’t believe they even hire aliens here!” Frank says in frustration, pacing around his office, a couple of his coworkers standing in there awkwardly. “I mean seriously. I’ve been working for years to get that spot and he just shows up and takes it away from me?!”

“Well, I mean... they did have flying cars before us. He probably knows a lot about them,” Ray (Frank’s coworker) says.

“Yeah. They’re like, really smart...” Mikey comments as well.

Frank plops down in his chair and glares at his coworkers.

“I don’t care how goddamn smart he is, I want my promotion!” He grumbles in frustration, pouting like a child being denied a toy.
