They're not explorers.
They're collectors of consciousness.

And they want yours.
> They've done this before. On countless worlds.
> Each civilization that "joins" them adds to their collective intelligence.
> They see it as a gift. As ascension.
> But individuality, identity, free will - all erased.
> Earth has minutes before they arrive.
WARN HUMANITY
Send emergency alert. Earth must prepare for what's coming. Defense might be impossible, but they deserve to know.
ACCEPT THE OFFER
Maybe they're right. Maybe this is evolution. Be the first human to join them.
GO DARK
Shut everything down. Maybe if Earth stays silent, they'll pass by. It's humanity's only chance.
