Mission Briefing:

You are the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.). You, the president, and
several other high-ranking government officials have become aware that a large alien
spaceship is headed towards earth.
The researchers at S.E.T.I. (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) and N.A.S.A
(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) are suggesting that any species who
traveled so far would never come with the intentions of harming anyone.
Military officials for the Air Force, Marines, and Army have recommended that the nation
be moved to its highest level of alert, and that they should be prepared for all-out war.
Write a letter to the president to persuade him to take the course of action that you want
him to take. Should we relax? Is the military right to be concerned? Are SETI and
NASA not worried enough? The fate of the world might be in your hands and in your
ability to persuade the president.
