[WP] Mankind has received its first confirmed message of non-human origin from an unknown entity in outerspace. In plain English, it says "you are not what you think you are"

The old men in the temples far in the East, the newborns in their white boxes in the West, mammals in their dens, life in the salt waters, even the invisible world of unthought of beings felt it. There were people working in their office, people dancing at weddings, people tortured in their cells, leaders aching in their lairs, there was no such warning or resistance for any of them when the outside wanted to relay a message to us. No amount of money, social merit or arrogance could help nor any amount of wisdom, morality or prayers. The sky looked as if it were about to storm, but before it was natural the clouds curdled into writhing coils banded together by purple and blue lightning. Then a sound... A frequency began to vibrate through the very air itself. Organisms looked around to one another in confusion, even the planet seemed nervous giving off tremors as the ocean went mad. The sound was at both ends of any audible octave comprehendible, crescendoing into a paralyzing tone that slowly started descended half steps into dissonance. Life covered its ears. When fear was nearly an element in the world the frequency met in a chord thats never been struck before, warming... healing. The apocalyptic skies settled into colors the human eyes had no cone for resulting in white illumination the whole planet round. Whether it be night or day, land or sea the world and its occupants became a channel, and the outside broadcasted. A voice neither male or female resonated within. "We navigated many dimensions and stars to meet you, Earthlings." "We are what you may call aliens maybe even angels if you were to look upon us, but we are not that." "We are what you may call management." The humans in the West heard their spanish and english while those in East heard their cantonese and french, while the whales heard echoes and birds heard song, Earths first contact left nothing out, even the photosynthetic life leaned towards the white voice. "With the detonation of the species: homo sapien sapien's nuclear device, our various methods of reception throughout the Universe reported a positive reading from your galaxy." "We were shocked receiving such a report from this quadrant of the universe we classify as 'uninhabitable'. There are only a few host planets to life in the third dimension, let alone conscious."
