Most people dont.

Not from what I've seen. Humanity can be such a brutal race.

Well then you haven't seen the good yet.

Not everyone one, theres a lot of kind people out in the world. Trust me though I know all about the bad, but there is good too.

What happened?

Your government attempted to apprehend me. I responded.

Oh. Why exactly were they trying to apprehend you? Actually, I probably don't want to know. If the government was involved, it's out of my jurisdiction.

Would you still try to arrest me if it wasn't? Regardless of the circumstances?

Well, I'm off-duty right now... *hesitates slightly* I guess that would depend on the circumstances.

Your Secretary of Defense seems to believe that my arrival here is indicative of an invasion.

... And I'm afraid I cannot allow you to bring me into custody.

And what exactly is your arrival here indicative of?

I'm not planning to bring you into custody. As far as I can tell, you haven't done anything that breaks any laws, and I don't have a warrant for your arrest.

Your media favors the word 'apocalypse'.

And is that what's going on?

...

Not anymore.

Oh. Well, that's good. *offers his hand* Kyle Aspen.

[glances down at his hand] Klaatu.

[reaches forward and presses his fingers against his palm, not clasping, just touching, unfamiliar with the concept of shaking hands]

Klaatu? That's an interesting name. Nice to meet you, Klaatu.

*has to admit that's an odd way of shaking hands, but he shrugs it off, clasping Klaatu's hand and giving it a firm shake as he grins. Then he releases Klaatu's hand and drops his to his side*
