Alien Keith theory

klanced

Hello guys @ehlihr and I cracked the code on why Keith is the way he is.

A few decades ago, I forget when, Earth sent a satellite containing a gold disc into space. The disc contained greetings in almost every language on earth, and also a few examples of popular earth culture from the time.

Now, I forget when we launched this disc exactly, but for the purpose of this theory I’m going to assume we sent it sometime in the eighties.

I hope you all see where I’m going with this.

Basically, picture this: thousands of miles from earth, Keith comes upon a satellite floating in space. Curious, he approaches it and uncovers a gold disc. He pops it into his space VCR and watches it, and instantly falls in love with Earth culture. One of the movie clips on the disc features a man wearing a mullet. Keith falls in love with the #Look, and immediately sets course for Earth so he can be with his new people.

He is very disappointed when he lands.

@klanced You’re talking about the Voyager I and Voyager II Golden Records. Both Voyagers launched in 1977 and as of June 2016 Voyager I is 20,200,000,000 km away, and it will pass the star Gliese 445 in about 40,000 years.

The Golden Record is a solid gold LP encrypted with information. In addition to the audio, which included greetings recorded from many languages (including extinct ones such as Akkadian, Ancient Greek, and Latin) and sounds from nature like whale songs, several images were coded into the grooves of the record. These images included both scientific data about the solar system and the Earth and cultural images.

Many of these images were not so much of pop-culture as they were about showing what humans are. There is all kinds of anatomical data included, but there are also lots of very touching scenes of human interaction included, such as a mother nursing a child, children learning in a school room, families eating together and the like.

THIS is what Keith falls in love with. If Keith is a Galra, then his whole life he probably was trained to be a weapon in service to the empire, deprived of things that could be regarded as weaknesses. Things like love, home, family. Things that humans seem to revel in.

So when a young Galra discovered this shiny piece of space junk in the middle of the void and decided to play with it, how could he not fall in love with what he saw?
