I had just learned that aliens didn't understand the concept of generational poverty.

"How smart you are born doesn't matter." I leaned back as far as the chair let me. The alien woman looked so confused. "There's a saying - how many Albert Einsteins were born in some remote, impoverished village?"

"But this is America." She was dumbfounded. "Shouldn't everyone have the same resources?"

"No." I shook my head. "I was in a poor school district where I never even learned how babies were made. My parents wouldn't let me do anything other than raise Mila, but they also wouldn't let me stay with them."

"That's illegal!" She gasped. She wasn't acting. Her facial expressions were becoming less and less like typical American facial expressions. 

"Uh-huh." I nodded. "But who do you call? Who even cares? I had a car, so I got a job and lived in my car."

"But..." She looked away. "We would never let that happen." She looked back at me. "I'm so sorry. We would never in a million years let that happen."

"What could you do?" I shrugged.

"Give you adequate housing and childcare!" She put her hand on her forehead. "Not because you're intelligent and could be a doctor who saves lives, but because that's the correct thing to do!"

"Well, it's too late now." I shrugged.

"No, no, it's not." She pulled her hand away from her head. "Look, we don't want to be any kind of... Authoritarian." She sighed. "But we're moving you and enrolling you in online school. You'll just stay home doing your school work and taking care of your kid. Sounds good?"

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. 

"Everyone here's got to move, really." She looked nervous. "This whole place is bad for the environment, so we're moving everyone. Most of the people you know won't be given tasks to complete the way you are being given tasks. They'll just be able to... Exist without worries. Free housing, free food, nice electronics..."

I understood. "All this flowery nonsense about everyone having good lives. You realize it's a dumb fantasy, right?"

"No." She shouldn't shook her head. "Unless humans are some kind of evolutionary anomaly, this works. This is how it is done on my planet."

"Then buckle in." I couldn't help but laugh. "If it could work for humans, do you really think we wouldn't be doing it right now?"

She sighed. "Fine, then my people will happily be fully authoritarian and force humans to go against their nature. Can you please keep this a secret?"

"Yeah." I shrugged. "I'm fine with keeping your secret. It's just crazy. All this work to make people play nice?"

"Do you know how beautiful Earth is?" She looked away. "We care about Earth. Making you guys play nice is just in service of preserving the natural beauty of your planet."

I was actually speechless.

"This place is magical. We need to preserve it. Without, you know, hurting people."

How Is Michiru Hadou's bank?

One pitch VCV. The voice is a nice male presenting voice that I would likely categorize as a "jii-san" type.
