Earth heat and light energy known as "fire" extinguished with "water" while further considerations are made regarding fate of Citizen #702N8-F.



Destruction of Citizen #702N8-F deemed a necessity. Seance to commence under cover of darkness in hopes of exorcising withheld data.

TRICK OR TREAT PRACTICE


Citizens Halloween practice execution of Earth ritual known as "Trick or Treating" in preparation for mission. (Above) Citizens wait dutifully after the ringing of the "doorbell."



The door is opened.



Resident of Earth dwelling appears in preparation of exchange of candy, i.e., "treat." In absence of said candy exchange, Citizens would be required to perform a "trick" upon owner of Earth dwelling. Process is also known as "blackmail."



Citizens recite, "Trick or Treat!" or, alternately, "Gimme gimme gimme!"



Owner of Earth dwelling is expected to make comments upon Citizens pertaining to the "cuteness" or "scariness" of Citizens' appearance, despite absence of either traits.



Owner presents candy, quite commonly what is known as a "candy bar."



Citizens perform trick nonetheless, draping themselves across Owner's dwelling. In real mission scenario "toilet paper" will be on hand as an alternative substance with which to drape Earth dwellings.
