A Brief History of the Spaceship Rescue

The believers wore clothing that had been cut open to allow the metal pieces to be torn out. The men had yanked the zippers out of their pants, which were supported by lengths of rope in place of belts. And they performed in costume in keeping with the admonition to carry nothing metallic aboard the saucer. They discussed seriously whether the message from a caller identifying himself as captain video was properly interpreted as a prank or a coated communication from their rescuers.
