This is the voice of the Mysterons.

I'm sitting here, watching SETI@Home run, and waiting for that phrase to burst forth from my PC speakers. Isn't it exciting? Any moment now I could be talking to our new alien masters.

But, to wile away the time, I'm reminded of how Captains Scarlet and Black were kidnapped by the Mysterons and made indestructable. I was wondering: when the alien menace arrives and kidnaps you, what superpower would you like to be given to further their evil plans? Would you like to be indestructable, or perhaps to fly? Reading the minds of others - or simply taking over their brains?

Personally I think I'd choose shooting laser beams from my eyes. I reckon I could really advance the conquest of Earth with that one. What about you?

How about a fashion sense? Those alien conquerors are gonna want some damn fine clothes whilst they're forcing us to break rocks and dig holes, you know.

Or perhaps rhythm?

True. No point conquering the Earth and plundering its resources to further your own ends only to show up at the after-party and make an arse of yourself on the dancefloor.

They should read up on philosophy, politics and literature too, so they don't feel left out of the conversation of the puny earthlings

or maybe just watch some corrie, learn at least 10 descriptions of rain in order to be able to socially discuss the weather, drink a few cuppas and read the sun. they'll have no trouble fitting in.
maybe it would be an invasion somewhat akin to those of ankh-morpork where the locals see the invaders as an opportunity rather than a threat?

or do you mean fashion sense in teh sense of: "I can detect fashion...there's some round here somewhere", a bit like Spider Sense?
