MARI: Cancel your plans, humanoids!
Believer Beach is on FIRE!
We're hittin' the beach to say, What's up, aliens? How're you?
We're not running for cover. We're not hiding under a rock.
(laugh) I gotta say, I am proud of this little island. 
And they're saying... honestly, uh, nothing. But the party is just getting started!
MARI: We're storming the sandcastles and taking it to the beach, baby!
And now... I'm gonna... take a nap. Mmm.
It's like our minds have been... (mimics head explosion) opened!
I was maybe in the sun a lot and not hydrating and... yeah...
I was there last night. It's like a whole movement sprung up out of nothing!
Love you, my Saucer Hotties. (yawning) So much.
Maybe we shouldn't be planning to fight these visitors!
Maybe we should be saying, What's ours is yours!
Or like, Take us to YOUR leader, huh?
Yeah, I- I gotta sit down now. 
MARI: So. Uh.
You ever seen someone, like... unzip themselves, and uh...
You know...
Be an alien?
I, uh- you know, I'm not trying to be an alarmist but that's not the Believer Beach vibe I was hoping for. 
MARI: Can we work together to keep our beloved beach clean?
I've been out there enjoying the sand and surf, and... well...
Let's keep Believer Beach.... beautiful.
Some litterbug keeps scattering alien tech all over the place!
That's what the garbage cans are for!
The ground isn't a garbage can, people!
MARI: I am loving the chill vibes on the beach today.
Did anyone catch those cool sand sculptures?
How could they NOT come in peace?!
I was pretty moved. 
The circles... the, the... the blobs! So organic and raw.
Ah! These alien visitors, wow! Some of them have a real eye for fine art.
MARI: (out of breath) Whew... Okay, my Saucers!
Or, uhhhh, dimension?
I spent all night blowing up some big bouncy water floaties for our guests.
It'd be a great opportunity to make a friend.
Maybe even a friend from another galaxy!
Space-time... pocket? 
They're in the water now if you wanna hop on over and check 'em out.
Use the buddy system.
You know what I mean.
You'll get some real air, so be careful!
MARI: Okay, y'all. I have to admit... the big mothership floating over the Island? Freaky.
Don't get me wrong. It looks cool...
But I swear I saw someone... GET SUCKED UP INTO IT.
(forced laugh) Right?
Maybe I'm seeing things...
Or maybe they were just visiting, and that is how their front door works! 
...Right?
MARI: Yooo! I drove a saucer yesterday!
I mean, we all do it to the cars on the Island all the time anyway.
I'm not saying you should try it, but if you do...
Maybe it's the aliens' way of teaching us about their technology.
So I just... hopped in!
The keys were in the ignition, and nobody was around...
MARI: I wanna shout out one of the Saucers I met on the beach yesterday!
From what you say, they sound like real party people!
It was really chill!
..Like, a LOT... about the aliens
We danced, played a little volleyball, talked a lot about the aliens...
So, Sunny, if you are out there, thanks for being a listener.
And for filling me in on our new alien friends.
MARI: Saucers! The Believer Beach bash is in full swing!
Come hit the surf, dance in the sand, and enjoy some sweet tunes!
I'll be the one drinking Slurp Juice out of a pineapple.
I don't know how. But I WILL make it work.
MARI: I have an urgent update on the beach party.
Someone is... watching us. Maybe the government. Maybe the IO.
I don't know what they're planning, so stay sharp. 
MARI: The Beach Lurkers are back at it.
What are you expecting to see? People having a rad alien-themed time?
Illegal sandcastles? What?!
Maybe stop being dorks and join in the fun!
Unless it's Slone out there. She is NOT welcome and she knows it.
MARI: If you've noticed anything strange attached to your head...
I'm not entirely sure what it is.
So maybe... don't let that happen to you? Supes helpful, I know.
Or maybe jump into some water! Uh, that works with bees... Am I the only one that does that?
MARI: Hey, Saucers! Any of y'all been feeling strange lately?
One of my beach buddies... they don't seem to be entirely themselves these days.
I'm sure it's nothing, but... keep an eye out for your friends, okay?
MARI: Eyes on the sky, people! Something's moving up there!
It looks like... landing ships. And they're definitely hovering above the Island.
I'd take cover 'til we can find out more.
But you... you're an adventurer, so do your thing under that UFO sky!
MARI: You ever wish you could see the farthest reaches of the galaxy?
Obviously, I'm kidding! But, you know, also I- I'm not?
Well if that's the case, just go outside. Because the aliens are way into abductions right now!
MARI: I'm hearing big rumors, Saucers. Like, people-are-getting-abducted type rumors.
Do you know someone who's gone missing?
And... they're living to tell the tale!
Call into the show! I'd love to hear your story.
MARI: So many Saucers are calling in with their abduction stories!
People are saying they're held in some kind of... enclosure....
And they had to fight their way out!
Which is not ideal for a radio show.
If you have any other details, I'd really like to hear from you.
Because right now it's being described as... indescribable.

Audio and Dialogue
Mari: Hello? Is this on? (tap tap tap) Hellooo?
Of course nobody's answering. 'Cause nobody's listening, stupid.
Sorry. Trying to call myself stupid less... Ugh, this IS stupid, though!
I think the longer I go without sharing this, the bigger and scarier I'm making it seem in my head.
No amount of time is going to make people think I'm any more or less sane.
Which is ridiculous, because I saw what I saw.
Okay. Now I am being stupid. I should just say it. Just say it!
I've been seeing UFOs in the sky for months.
(tossing radio away)
Okay. Alright. Great. Cool. Um... I said it and I'm still alive...
And actually... feeling good. Woo! (laughs) Sharing!
(inhale, exhale) I've seen UFOs. Flying saucers. There, said it again.
Okay, no turning back now. I've put it out there.
It started really late one night. I was locking up my car, getting ready to go inside.
When I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye!
Mari: GAH! (throws away radio)
Mari: Ugh, please don't call me that. Oh, this is really embarrassing.
Mari: So you... believe me?
Mari: What kind of purpose would that serve?
Mari: Well, I promise that's not what I'm doing...
Mari: And, while that's very flattering, I'm not an evil mastermind.
Mari: Like, listening? Ah, now I'm embarrassed again!
Mari: Okay. Okay. Let's see if you're right. (ahem)
Mari: Hi, out there. My name is Mari and if you've ever had a weird encounter that you can't explain--
Mari: Oh no, I'm sorry! I'll shut up now!
Mari: Y-yeah? You wanna talk about it?
Mari: Space is too big.
Mari: I've kept this opinion to myself for years and years, but I am done!
Mari: Space is far too big. We don't need all that!"
Mari: The moon is nice, so w- we need some space. The sun's fine. But anything beyond that... no thank you.
Mari: Also the ocean should only be four feet deep.
Mari: Sorry. I've been reading about aliens and it's... really unsettling.
Mari: Knowing anything could have been out there is not the most comforting thought.
Mari: The thing that gets me is that we've been warned!
Mari: The aliens have been like, Look at our ships, hiiii!,
Mari: And we're like, Oh, not today, my friends. NOT TODAY.
Mari: But I don't think we can pull this off forever.
Mari: I think it's happening. I think it's happening, and I think it's going to be very very BAD
Mari: I was talking to my therapist - who is not really a therapist. He's more of a dog with I'm listening eyes.
Mari: And... I think it is time to embrace the fact that we are not alone in the universe.
Mari: I don't know what that means...
Mari: But, hey! Maybe that's something we can like figure out together.
Mari: So if you're out there, maybe give me a call.
Mari: I keep going back and forth.
Mari: Cause on one hand I'm like, Maybe the aliens will come and destroy us all just 'cause!
Mari: But on the other hand, I keep hoping that maybe they're going to share some amazing technology with us.
Mari: And welcome us to the galactic club of cool societies!
Mari: But then I think about all the times I've seen ants...
Mari: And I've never been like, Hey, ants! Want to learn about levers and pulleys?
Mari: So maybe it's silly to expect that to happen for us.
Mari: But if you're out there, aliens, we are good learners.
Mari: I mean, we're not... But at any given time, there are like fifty smart people and we can find them for you!
Mari: Today's topic: Things that are Probably Aliens.
Mari: First one's easy. Octopuses.
Mari: Eight arms. Problem solving. Interior decorating skills.
Mari: Honestly, if you told me the ocean was an intergalactic rest stop for aliens, I would agree.
Mari: Nature's frat boy, the kangaroo, actually an alien? You heard it here first.
Mari: Agree to disagree!
Mari: Alright, let's not blame anyone else for the platypus. That one's on us.
Mari: Last week I asked you to write in your alien questions and...ya'll...
Mari: I did not expect this response.
Mari: So, thank you to everyone who sent in questions.
Mari: And to everyone who asked me to stop: I hear you, I respect you, I ignore you.
Mari: Question One! Farmer Steel asks, I am looking for volunteers to protect my corn.
Can you please help?
Mari: Well if you are out there and you feel strongly about corn, this is your time to shuck!
Mari: Love these questions, love 'em! Please keep 'em comin'!
Mari: Bush Ranger writes...
Mari: Okay, uh, Bush Ranger actually just sent a drawing. I- I think it's a shrub hugging a stick figure?
Mari: Is that...? Oh, I think that's supposed to be me! Aww, Bushy, my heart can't take such sweetness!
Mari: Oh! There's something written here. It says, Hihihi. Don't let them eat me.
Mari: Uh, I have some good news, Bushy. I can't promise they won't eat you...
Mari: But I am pretty sure you are poisonous, so if they do, they're gonna have a bad day.
Mari: So it's not a lot, but it is something.
Mari: Keep growing toward the light, my leafy frond.
Mari: But I am pretty sure you are poisonous, so if they do, they're gonna have a bad day.
Mari: Okay, uhh... Zorgotron writes, As an alien who has been on the island for years now...
I'm curious why no one ever asks my opinion on alien matters.
Mari: Probably because we all thought that was a costume.
Mari: And also... I don't know, you're such a slow talker.
Mari: And, sure, you may possess the wisdom of the cosmos, but pick up the pace!
Mari: More questions!
Mari: Doctor Slone from the IO has this to say...
Cease all communications with and discussion of alien matters immediately.
Mari: Uh oh. Sounds like someone knows something.
Mari: Well, tell me who you are and what the IO is and maybe we'll have a deal.
Mari: Hey, look. Uh, if you know who this Slone weirdo is, can you message me?
Mari: She will not back off and she is really freaking me out.
Mari: Seriously. Please.
Mari: (panting) I don't know how much time I have.
Mari: I'm not quitting!
Mari: I am not stopping the show.
Mari: And anyone who says so is lying!
Mari: THEY'RE HERE! (struggle)
Mari: Hi. Everyone.
Mari: I'm back. I'm fine.
Mari: I'm gonna hit pause here for a while.
Mari: There's not a lot I can say but...
Mari: Be careful. Please.
Mari: And keep watching the stars.
