The Visitors
August 23rd, 2021 first contact was made; The Visitors arrived. Their mission was the swift and total conquest of Earth. Although they were armed with superior intelligence and technology, The Visitors quickly met their match. A never-ending diet of pop culture garbage from the dumpster of humanity swiftly disarmed the invaders. Too lazy and mindless to fulfill their mission, The Visitors are now cursed to share cat GIFs and memes with each other until the end of time.


To satiate their hunger for junk food and useless material things (Spencer’s Gifts), The Visitors needed money… fast. Unfortunately they had devolved into useless creatures, lacking any talent or ability to contribute to society. With no other options available, they took the easiest and most reliable form of employment: creating and selling NFT's.


CryptoBurbs, a 10,000 piece art collection created in less than 24 hours, seemed to be a hit. Within days thousands of burbs were minted. The Visitors, confident in their superior intellect, were not surprised with their success. Unfortunately for them they forgot to charge for the NFT’s. The entire collection hadn’t earned them a single earth dime.
Once word of their failure reached the Transgalactic Hegemonic Council (THC), they ordered the House of Retribution (HR) to send a squadron of 1,000 Recyclon Troopers to make a full report (aka hunt down and destroy every Visitor).


The Recycling was precise, and quick. Two thousand of the original Visitors were burnt and sent to their final resting place: The Graveyard . But before they could finish their mission the Recyclon Troopers noticed something in the detritus of the battlefield… pogs, flamin hot mac and cheese, koosh balls, and bean filled babies. The skirmish ended, common ground had been found. The fighting was over.
A new day dawned and an old problem remained. The Visitors were broke. The 9,001 remaining Visitors charged units #1116 and #6291 with the task of creating a brand new, original, NFT project to raise the necessary funds. After countless hours of studying Creating Web Pages For Dummies® by Bud Smith a website was created. A new collection of 5,555 CryptoBurbs II was born.
Although the Burbs were successful, The Visitors now craved the most human of feelings: Attention. They put their faces on shirts, rugs and hats. However, they did not think of the repercussions for this infamy.
What's next for The Visitors? All we know is it will be incredibly stupid.
