It's Probably Not Aliens Holiday Special: Protocol Atlantis

Get new episodes early on Nebula!

The year is 7023. Humanity has admittedly had a rough go of it. Last christmas, a shapeshifting alien from Earth disguising itself as Santa wreaked havoc on the X Intellectual Conference at the X Convention Center, in X City. Nobody is sure how it got there, but everyone knows it was stopped by two brave heroes: Derrick Von Erican and Indianapolis Dave. Interestingly enough, those two JUST came back from Earth, and stories of their time there have been wildly published, generating more interest in the Pale Grey Dot.

General Michael Ivan Cochran is the head of the Martian Military, which accounts for 60% of the Martian annual budget to protect from extra-terrestrial threats. That WILL show up. Any. Day. Now. MIC has reason to suspect there are actually ALIENS on the Earth, and even scarier: GIANT aliens, and even scarier still UNDERWATER GIANT ALIENS. Around the end of the year, they assemble some sort of alien instrument with various pieces around a giant tree. Now, this COULD just be a community sharing gifts with each other for a winter holiday… or it COULD be an alien super weapon meant to destroy all of Mars. the ONLY way to be safe, is to send a small strike team of two HEROES back to Earth, to steal the pieces of this super weapon before all of Mars can be destroyed. And who better than the heroes who saved last Christmas, and also, ENTIRELY COINCIDENTALLY, went to Earth around the same time? This is: Its Probably Not Aliens: Protocol Atlantis.

It's that time of year we put aside our chrome tabs for dice and 3 grown adults play pretend on a microphone for the entertainment of dozens. Happy holidays!
