August 18th, 2026. Early morning in NYC. The meeting is scheduled for noon. As the sunrise reaches New york. Reports come in from NASA. A purple light, similar... no, the same as the one seen in the anomalous lunar event was seen coming from the space station, one of its hangers, and then... flying at supersonic speeds, as it entered the earth atmosphere. Reports and live tracking suggest its flying towards the UK. As it reached the UK, in under an hour later. It slowed down, and just floated above the local cities, and towns, before accelerating off at supersonic speeds, causing a light sonic boom that shook glass in the small city of Bristol. As it approached Africa, flying over the Mediterranean Sea, it was seen creating waves of sand as it flew just meters away from the ground in the Sahara desert. It seemed... playful. As it flew over China, and briefly above Japan, before heading north, and flying over russia. Reports of it flying, and rotating around big mountains, as it slows down are reported. When it reached Mt. Everest... There were reports of it doing several laps of the mountain. A high quality photo of it was captured... showing... a figure of some kind within the light. As many remember the data from long ago... the Infrared photo of the purple light, during the anomalous lunar event, where... scientists used a satellite, and found out that the source of the light was very small, and the heat signature... the very pixelated photo... that looked like a deer.

Eventually, as it approaches noon in NYC, reports come in that the deer... the purple light is flying from the east coast to the west. Heading to NYC the long way. As the event is broadcast live everywhere, as they do some preparations, and talk about the importance of today's event, and prepare all the diplomats on the rules of how they are going to talk with the aliens. The United Nations General Assembly Hall was a sight unlike anything it had ever been before. The iconic green marble backdrop shimmered under enhanced lighting, and every seat in the vast chamber was occupied by diplomats, heads of state, or their representatives from nearly every nation on Earth. Along the rows, translators sat in their booths, their eyes focused on the scripts in front of them as they prepared for what would undoubtedly be the most significant diplomatic event in human history. Security was intense, with armed guards stationed discreetly at every entrance, their earpieces buzzing with constant updates.

The room was electric with a mix of anxiety and expectation. Delegates whispered to one another in dozens of languages, their voices low but their expressions betraying the weight of the moment. The central podium, where the Secretary-General would soon address the assembly, stood pristine, equipped with microphones, cameras, and an advanced translation system to handle the unimaginable complexity of communicating with an extraterrestrial intelligence.

The media presence was overwhelming. Dozens of cameras from international news agencies lined the back of the hall, their lenses trained on the stage. Outside the building, thousands of reporters broadcast live updates to billions of viewers around the globe. Helicopters buzzed in the skies above Manhattan, capturing aerial shots of the UN headquarters and the steadily growing crowd gathered outside. Many people clutched signs—some reading "Welcome to Earth" or "Humanity Greets You," others more skeptical or fearful, with warnings like "Don't Trust the Aliens."

The Secretary-General, Maria Esposito, stood near the podium, flanked by her closest advisors. Her tailored black suit and calm demeanor projected authority, but her tightly clasped hands betrayed the weight she carried. Around her stood representatives from the P5 nations—China, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France—each with their own entourages of advisors and interpreters.

President Zhang Wei of China sat calmly, her hands folded neatly on the desk in front of her. Her advisors occasionally leaned in to whisper updates, but her expression remained composed. Nearby, Russian President Nikolai Petrov exchanged quiet words with his Foreign Minister, both men glancing occasionally at the screen broadcasting the purple light's current location.

Across the room, President Carter of the United States was deep in conversation with Secretary of State Linda Owens. Their tone was low but animated, with Carter gesturing toward the schedule in front of them. "We need to stick to the plan," she said firmly. "No improvising, no grandstanding. This isn't about us—it's about humanity."

The French and British delegations sat nearby, their representatives periodically exchanging glances and notes. Prime Minister Graham Hollis of the UK had been uncharacteristically quiet, his usually sharp wit dulled by the gravity of the moment. Meanwhile, President Adrienne Duval of France appeared composed, occasionally making brief remarks to her advisors in French.

Representatives from smaller nations, including those from Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, huddled in groups, ensuring their voices would not be lost amid the global powers. Kenyan President Samuel Odinga, who had earned respect for his eloquence during the earlier UN debates, stood out among them, quietly rallying a coalition of leaders to emphasize unity and inclusion in the discussions.

Outside the UN headquarters, the media frenzy was palpable. Reporters stood in front of cameras, their voices hurried and breathless as they delivered updates.

"This is Anna Yates reporting live from the United Nations headquarters," one broadcaster said. "The anticipation here is unlike anything I've ever witnessed. Just an hour ago, reports confirmed that the alien entity—commonly referred to as 'the deer'—is making its way toward New York City after what many are calling a 'world tour.' The world waits with bated breath to see what will happen when it arrives here at the UN for humanity's first official contact."

Social media was ablaze with commentary. TikTok trends showed people reenacting what they imagined was happening inside the Assembly Hall, often humorously exaggerated. One viral clip featured a creator pretending to be various world leaders panicking as the clock ticked closer to noon, with captions like: "Me trying to explain flat earthers"

Despite the tension, there were moments of levity. A diplomat from Brazil joked quietly to his neighbor, "Do you think the deer will come in and immediately ask for a seat at the table? We're out of chairs."

The neighbor chuckled. "If it can fix the moon, I'm sure it can handle a chair."

Then... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. They saw as the countdown to noon reached 0, and the deer was still a few states away. People joked online 'Aliens being late to the meeting' with embarrassed aliens. Meanwhile... The room was mostly silent. Then... the screens at the front of the UN... glitched rapidly, and... turned black. People frowned... and then widened their eyes. A very familiar white fox, animated like a Disney animation from their golden years, sits, looks around the room, and then says "he is taking his time, whatever." Then... the screen glitches the hell out, as a blue energy... plasma moves from the screen... floating in the air, yet no heat comes from it, as it lands at the ground, and begins forming... the fox into physical space. Slowly, but surely, as bones seem to materialize, and then fur... until it looks like a real animal. Except with oddly intelligent eyes, that have glowing blue pupils, as it looks around the room, and sits, tail swaying. "My companions are coming, just give them a moment." It speaks in perfect English to the stunned crowd.

The fox's gaze swept the room, its blue pupils glowing faintly. It seemed unfazed by the chaos it had caused, its tail flicking lazily. After a long pause, it spoke again. "Calm yourselves," it said, its voice steady. "They'll be here shortly. Your fear is unnecessary."

The Secretary-General, Maria Esposito, stepped toward the podium, her movements deliberate and composed despite the turmoil around her. She cleared her throat, and her voice carried across the hall. "Thank you... for this introduction," she said carefully, addressing the fox directly. "Can you tell us more about who is coming and what we can expect?"

The fox tilted its head slightly, its expression almost amused. "I could," it said, its tone light. "But where's the fun in that?" The room filled with an awkward silence, and murmur, as diplomates discussed with each other.

Then... the live feed showing the deers progress. Showed it slowing, as its glow weakened to just a slight glow. As cameras could clearly... see a deer, with large antlers, and a complex metallic device attached to its neck, and back. Trotting in the air, on fog of purple. As it floats thru the city. The deer stops, and float 150m above the UN headquarters, it looks around briefly, standing in the air, as cameras capture it. Fog spreads rapidly around it, a thin purple fog, emitting from its body, forms a disk from its antlers, as it closes its eyes and focuses... as space bends around the center of the 15m disk of purple fog... until... a wormhole forms. Not the magenta, and gold ones that give fear, and awe... but... just a normal wormhole... where you can see the other side. As it shows space, and there space station, as a small spacecraft floats thru the wormhole. Floating in the air, as the wormhole closes with a *pop*. The spacecraft... is roughly 14m long. 6m across. Boxy... but more like a bee in terms of general shape. With 2 thrusters on the sides of a front black glass, that allows no visibility into the cockpit. The thrusters rotate on hinges, and mechanisms, and a last thruster sits on the back of the craft. All 3 thrusters rotate with vector thrust to hover. It has a flat bottom, and top. Many admired the engineering, as the thrusters glowed blue... was that ion thrust?

The spacecraft lowers itself slowly towards the ground. The fox looks at the live feed and says "You should order your people to clear the way. The thrusters we use are somewhat safe to be close to... but still produce heat, and... if you are too close, it can burn you." The spacecraft lowered itself, as a laser projection hit the ground displaying a red circle that seemed to show where it was landing. As security teams move to clear space for the red laser projection, and yell "If you don't clear, the thrusters will burn YOU!", as the crowd moves away, and make a clearing for the craft to land. The deer floats just 10 m above the crowds watching silently. As the craft... just 5m above the ground pops out 5 robotic arms from its bottom seamlessly, like octopus limbs, with grabbers at the end, that flatten like feet, and make landing gear, as it dynamically positions itself... and holds itself 4m above the ground. As the thrusters turn off, and the wind, and hum from them stop.

The bottom of the craft hisses, as a 2m circle extends from its bottom, with a bar in the center... that... is their exit. As they see... a being standing on the platform that lowers down, and touches the ground. The new alien... is humanoid. One that causes the men... to sweat, as she is very... attractive, feminine, and yet... eldritch. Wearing white clothes, with hair made of feathers, and a face that looks... human. But no eyes. As 4 feathered white wings extend front there back, and seem... to fold into empty air. As if space is bending around their tips. The beings hands look human, but with talons, and white feathers. Their feet... more avian, and digitigrade, with no shoes. They wear a weird black rubber band on their head, a few inches thick, and... suddenly. As the crowd backs away... eyes pop out of thin air, biological ones, that float through the air, as if carried by invisible, intangible tentacles. They move with the woman, as she walks. The deer lands, and walks behind her, its fog fading. She smiles confidently, as her face(aside from the lack of eyes, and eyebrows), is wonderfully pretty. With a nose, and mouth. Her figure as well. The eyes... felt eldritch, over 20 of them floated around her, within 10m of her, all with animalistic golden pupils. They move as if attached to her by invisible, intangible tentacles. One thing many noticed... was 2 weird badges on her chest. One depicting many orbs of magenta, and gold artistically, and an alien text written under it. Another with a design of many planets, and another text written under it. As if... medals? Or badges?

The air was thick with a sense of anticipation as the being approached the UN building. The deer followed closely, its steps silent but purposeful. The fox, still seated in the main hall, at the center stage, watched the monitors on the wall casually sitting, swaying its tail, and watched the scene with a sly grin. "Well," it said softly, though its voice carried over the crowd and into the broadcast microphones, "lets get this started."
