==Humains et Votans : enfin réunis ?==
{{Traduction}}
All the movies and comic books in the world couldn’t have prepared us for this.
When a fleet of alien ships suddenly and mysteriously descended on our planet earlier this year, the citizens of Earth didn’t know what to expect. Giant robots? Invaders from Mars? Many felt the whole scenario seemed like something ripped right out of a science fiction novel. “I just kept picturing that scene… you know, from that movie. The one where aliens blew up the White House,” said Connie Kempany of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “I’ll never forget the night they came. I just hugged my family and prayed for the best.” Instead of ray guns and explosions, the arrival of aliens was something quite different. The Votans were a desperate people, humbled by the loss of their own solar system. Their only desire was to find a new home where they could live in peace. For many of us, their coming was seen as the culmination of hundreds of years of speculation… a sign that we are not alone in the universe. “Well of course I was scared at first. Who wouldn’t be?” says Dana Melton of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. “But after seeing that footage of them coming off those Arks… mothers carrying their babies, men and women just looking for a better life? Made me wanna whip up a batch of spoon bread and invite ‘em over for dinner.” Reactions have run the gamut, from curiosity and a desire to know more about these visitors to outright hostility. Reports of violence and animosity have sprung up around the globe, especially in areas hardest hit by the recent worldwide recession. According to Nick Mueller of Orlando, Florida: “Look, I don’t mean no disrespect. But we humans have got enough problems on our own. And now I’m supposed to what, just roll over and let some alien move in next door? Uh-uh… I ain’t buyin’ it.” Thankfully, most “earthlings” have met the arrival of these visitors with a healthy mix of curiosity and a desire to know more about them. “There’s just so much we don’t know about the Votans,” said Stephanie Bing of Sandusky, Ohio, “But nothing positive will come from being afraid of them.” There are still considerable inroads to be made in order to ease the tensions between humans and the Votan immigrants. But how do the Votans themselves feel about life here on Planet Earth? Onulu Toruku, a spokesman for the Votanis Collective, stated “We are glad and humbled to be greeted with such open arms by the people of Earth.” By contrast, Egetha Nyira, an Irathient, had this to say: “You people smell like shtako.”
