Just because they look like they’d like sardines, doesn’t mean they would like sardines. For all you can tell at this point, they could be after anything from Bud Lite to Macallan. Or even peanuts or pickled eggs.
After the past 4 years, I am beyond being surprised, shocked, dismayed, embarrassed, furious, or any of the myriad of normal emotions I had back before the National Disgrace became President of the United States.
Perhaps, after November 2020, I will regain some normality and stop being so numb. Then again… the pessimist in me says…
Not to worry. If the technology was built by anyone like humans, they just sent the penguins in first to see if we would hurt them. The assault/colony forces will come in later. Assaulting or colonizing depending on our treatment of the birds.
As a famous science writer (Isaac Asimov? Carl Sagan? Stephen Jay Gould?) once remarked, the idea that aliens came here to interbreed with us is based on massive ignorance of how DNA works. Every living being on Earth is a leaf on the great Tree of Life and related (however distantly) to every other leaf. The upshot of this, he noted wryly, is that you’d have better prospects trying to interbreed with a cauliflower than an alien.

I’d go with the nothing really shocks me anymore as it would be impossible to eat sardines with removing their helmets.
