Alien test results
You are a PERFECT HOST for alien explorers. Your willingness to
keep an alien lovechild and tell nobody has been noted and will
be rewarded.
You are an EXHIBITIONIST who seeks celebrity in two solar
systems. We are wary of you but we may use you if it suits our
cause.
You are a SILENT RECLUSE. You crave alien attention but are
afraid to show your affection.
You are an EARTH WARRIOR - ready to make a stand against alien invasion and exploration.
You are not to be trusted.
