WE STUDY

DUCK.

While you were learning to read, we were already ten thousand years into studying ducks. We have watched every pond on this planet. We have taken very good notes. This is what we found.

WHAT’S COVERED

Long before you had a word for duck, our scouts had several. Learn how one blinking pond changed everything.
Ten millennia of quiet observation, from orbit and from the reeds. We were never looking for you. We were looking for them.
Oog the duck discovered gravity by dropping himself. The first duck tool was a slightly pointier rock. Bread would not be invented for another 40,000 years, and they were furious about it.
We touched down in a marsh in full ceremonial dress. A duck looked at us, decided we were not bread, and went back to floating. We have never recovered.
On July 12, 2081, every duck will quack at the exact same moment. We have built shelters. Learn what else is coming, and why we are not worried, only excited.
Every crew member signed it on arrival. Ducks are always right, geese are suspicious, and puddles are sovereign territory. We did not question it. Neither should you.
