Recently, a cruise ship thought to be lost three years ago docked in port. The people aboard seemed to have not aged a second and have emerged unscathed, sending the entire nation of @@NAME@@ buzzing with excitement. However, part of the population seem to be split on how to handle the returning people.
Choice 1:
"I can't wait for the government to let them back to the public! I miss the good times with @@RANDOM_FIRST_NAME@@. What do you think of a bit of a welcoming gift, an iPad or a bouquet of flowers?" @@RANDOM_NAME@@, a friend of one of the people lost at sea, asked, raising both gifts in his hand.
Aftermath 1:
Several people among the public distrust and discriminate against the passengers out of fear of being probed in their spaceships.
Choice 2:
"Well, we should obviously run them through testing!" @@RANDOM_NAME@@, a senior researcher at Grand Conjunction Laboratory cried excitedly, nearly breaking a monitor with their clipboard. "Thorough testing! Vigorous testing! All sorts of tests! If we can find out how they managed to travel through time, we could bend the entire world to our will! Think of the possibilities! Of course, this will require some government funding to not only research them, as well as cover up the story, but surely the family of a few people doesn't matter when we could possibly become gods, right?!"
Aftermath 2:
Riots begin, but are never a big problem because half the population is conveniently stuck with allergic reactions planted in their homes.
Choice 3:
"ALIENS!" shouts @@RANDOM_NAME@@, one of your xenophobic chief military officers while idly firing blanks into the ceiling. "THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION! We need to exterminate these outsiders and scuttle the boat! Who knows whether those are even the same people?! Not only should we kill and examine these parasites' forms, but we should also divert large funds into police and military to look for more parasites and crack down on immigration!"
Aftermath 3:
Neighbors with loud dogs can be reported as aliens and taken away for weeks.
All choices are suitable for all nations I think.
