An extraterrestrial presence is real. They watch us strip-mine the planet to fuel the growth of populations and economies. Will they intervene to help us avert disaster? And what's with all the anal probes? 

If there is a plan to avert disaster, the aliens operating out of a subterranean base in Antarctica didn't get the memo. As much as they'd like to help, that's not their job. Instead, they go through the motions at work and do what they can to find a hint of meaning in their otherwise monotonous lives. 

This issue of GEBB includes a peek at the subterranean recreational area where the staff of the alien Antarctic base enjoy the fruits of their adjacent grow room and seek solace from the drudgery of their day-to-day jobs!
