Aye sure and THAT brings new meaning to the Porta-Pottie. Sure and even this Alien should have remembered “Don’t leave home without it”. LOL

hmmmmgee ya think????

I’d hate to have to hold it that long going through a star desert.

An outer space out house ?

Is that a “PlayBlorp” he’s got there?

Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it sits atop a black hole. Or it’s a matter transporter. Or a portal to an alternate universe. Or a waste disintegrator. Or maybe it’s just an outhouse.

Hey! When you gotta go you GOTTA go!

Things are not always what they seem. But it does look like an old-fashioned outhouse, and the alien is about to enter, carrying what looks like a magazine.Hmm….

Love those legs and feet on the UFO!

Some years back I read a short SF story about where earth was invaded by aliens who, while they had an FTL star Drive, the rest of their technology was at the level of the 16th Century Spanish. Needless to say we cut them to ribbons, analyzed and copied the drive, and went out to conquer the Galaxy!

That’s Harry Turtledove, master of alternate histiry fiction.

I guess that when they said 150 light years until the next rest stop they really meant it.

Maybe that’s an effluence digester to make fuel for the ship.

No on board biffy? No wonder they made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs!
