[WP] Help. I am an advance scout for the invasion of this planet you call Dirt. I assimilated successfully and now love this planet. I wish to remain and prevent the invasion. If I lie to my superiors, they will know -- the other scouts will confirm/deny my reports. What can I say to prevent a war?	8
[WP] When the invasion began, the aliens were not aware that climate change had ravaged our ecosystem. Droughts and floods destroying crops, higher CO2 levels in the oceans and algae blooms killing off fish, etc. But humans are adaptable and a new food source just arrived...	8
[EU] Chewbacca has lice. You got stuck with telling him he has to be shaved...	7
[WP] You just met a new friend (dare you hope more?). Exchanging humorous stories from your pasts, you recall for them a tale about when you were much younger. Where the cute neighbor somehow convinced you to pretend you were a supernatural creature...that they seemed to know everything about...huh.	7
[WP] A chance encounter with a stranger. An act of kindness. They thank you, touch you, and sadly apologize. A moment later, you look around and they are gone. Strange things happen. You finally realize: You were given an aspect of a god, and a balancing curse.	7
[WP] You are an agent of Fate. And lucky you... The person you are supposed to guide seems to be be self-steering and right on course, so you take a weekend holiday. When you get back, things have gone a bit off track...	7
[WP] Upon hearing that reading stories can stimulate the release of oxytocin and dopamine (like narcotics), legislators pass laws and the feds crack down. You are a leader in the resistance.	7
[WP] You know of three things adults don't believe in: The Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa. You are the fourth... An honest politician.	7
[WP] You are a vampire and while pledging a frat which is...nocturnally friendly, you and the other plebes are sent to bring back a human. They are about to wake in a spare coffin. How long can you all make the human believe you think they are one of you before someone gives it away?	6
[WP] You are in a mini-sub collecting data on the impact of tectonic activity on the edge of the continental shelf. After a particularly strong quake, you see a large mudslide that briefly uncovers the remains of an ancient, advanced civilization.	6
