Good evening sir, may I see some identification?  Doctor, I am sure I don’t need to remind you that this is a matter of National Security.  What you see before you are the fleshy remains of the creature that boarded the Terra X space probe.  The good news is that the alien didn’t survive re-entry.  The bad news?  We suspect some form of mind control.  It seems that the lab boys noticed a sweet liqueur seeping from the tentacles.  Upon sampling the fluid, they awoke the next morning on the lab floor with severe headaches and no memory of the previous night.  The funny thing is, they kept asking for more, and we’ve had to place the specimens under guard.  What’s that?  You’d like to taste the tentacle juice?  Great Scott!  Have the aliens gotten into your mind as well?!
