Don't worry, we'll steal one of their little ships and fly up to the mothership and infect it with a virus.
Alien Invasion, how would survive A hostile takeover?

Points to ponder:
1. Communication is the primary prerequisite to civilisation coming into being. Without communication there can be no civilisation.
2. Long distance communication is a prerequisite to advanced civilisation.
3. Advanced civilisation is a prerequisite to interstellar space travel.
4. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has been listening for evidence of extraterrestrial communications for 50 years, finding nothing. If it detects something tomorrow, it will have traveled to earth from its source at speeds at or near c.
5. SETI's first encounter, if it should ever happen, will be of the earliest long distance communications of the civilisation it detects and will not coincide with the ability to travel in space. The first transmissions of "I Love Lucy" are now 60 light years into space and still going.
6. Relativity limits speed to c. Nothing can travel faster, despite wormhole and other science fiction fantasies.
7. If we are ever visited by aliens, all the evidence (and logic) dictates that it will be hundreds of years from now at the earliest.
8. Relax. You have more to worry about a hostile takeover from the Chinese.
