In the late summer the Born Again Labor Museum began recreating alien messages and drawings in bottles found washed up on the Earth’s exosphere. As the letters were mostly from planets in existential crisis we named these “Fermi Bottles” after the Fermi Paradox.
Fermi Bottle #1: A letter from a nurse named Porpa Moonshine on the planet Prosperity.
Partial Translation: I’m a nurse at Abbey Hospital in Corman City, Empoxea. Six cycles ago, a dormant virus awoke as our oceans cooled. Red Hand Fever has killed a third of our population. Still, many of us refuse to tie down the resulting hands, legs, and red tentacles. We are no longer immune. Please, if you find this bottle, save Prosperity.
