Oh, and in story arc land, Allison and Tess are still trying to find the source of the signal. They weren't able to get an image due to the Glowbidium being eaten, which means they won't be able to figure out what's coming until it's too close for comfort. Unless, Tess says, they find a way to decipher the signal. Allison says that General Mansfield is concerned that the source of the signal isn't friendly, and wants to be ready for it with weapons. Tess is horrified at the idea, saying they could provoke or scare the aliens away. Enh, how would they even know what a weapon looks like anyway? They're aliens! For all we know, guns on their planet are shaped like bowling balls.
