Ruler You have your report?
We had to pull in here to Space Station 7 for regeneration. We're returning to the planet Earth immediately thereafter.
Ruler What progress has been made?
We contacted government officials. They refuse our existence.
Ruler What plan will you follow now?
Plan 9. It's been absolutely impossible to work through these Earth creatures. Their soul is too controlled.
Ruler Plan 9...ah yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long-distance electrodes shot into the pinion pituitary glands of recent dead. Have you attempted any of this plan as yet?
Ruler How successful has it been?
We have risen two so far. We shall be just as successful on more.
Ruler The living...they have no suspicion of your movements?
We had to dispose of one policeman. However, none of those risen have been seen. At least, not by anyone who still remains alive.
Ruler It's too bad it must be handled this way. However it must. Those who take from the grave will lead the way for our other operations.
[about Clay]
Stop him Tanna! He's close enough! Turn off your electrode gun! No! No! Stop him Tanna!
I can't get it, it's jammed!
Ruler Drop the gun to the floor, Tanna! The metal will break contact!
[Gasping]
That was too close!
Ruler The old one must be sacrificed. Re-land on Earth. Send the old one to enter a dwelling. Then cut off the electrokinetic and turn on your ship's decomposure ray. The result will astound those watching. Astound them enough to delay their attention until you have gained your other recruits from the cemetery.
Yes, Excellency. It'll be done.
Ruler Report to me when this has been accomplished. Eros, the Earth people are getting to that which we fear. Since they will not listen or respect our existence, they cannot help but believe our powers when they see their own dead walking 'round again, brought about by our advancement in such things. As soon as you have enough of the dead recruits, march them on the capitals of the Earth, let nothing stand in your way. Their own dead will be used to make them accept our existence, and believe in that fact.
