《Let There be Darkness》中的设定的收集（1）(41)

5. Then, through the haze of dust and smoke, vague shapes came striding -- shapes like giant, hooded executioners with lurid eyes and high, bullet-like heads -- shapes too towering and massive to be the shapes of men. Judy saw them advance, their hands gripping strange weapons that spat shafts of glaring brilliance, their belt-clasps glowing with an inner radiance. They swarmed into the hall, the smoke swirling about them -- and then, suddenly, the screen went blank.
然后，在尘土和烟雾的迷雾中，模糊的身影大步走来——像巨大的、蒙着兜帽的刽子手，有着可怕的眼睛和高高的、子弹般的脑袋——这些身影太高大、太庞大，不像人类。朱蒂看到他们前进，他们的手握着奇怪的武器，武器射出耀眼的光芒，他们的皮带扣闪耀着内在的光芒。他们涌入大厅，浓烟在他们周围盘旋——然后，突然，屏幕变黑了。

【Zarrian提出的关于地球的要求】
We request nothing -- we state our intentions. The glowing blue disc held on Taggart's brow by a band of woven metal strands—a device of Zarrian manufacture—enabled the man to catch the alien being's every projected thought. Our desires are moderate and rational: when you know them, you will not oppose us. We desire only the land surface of a tiny planet near the fringe of your galaxy.
我们不要求任何东西——我们陈述我们的意图。塔格特额头上的蓝色圆盘由扎里安制造的一条编织金属绳绑在一起，使他能够捕捉到外星人的每一个想法。我们的欲望是温和和理性的：当你知道它们时，你不会反对我们。
