For Aliens Weekly magazine

I open the chat program and initiate communication with an alien from the exoplanet APX777.

Me: Hi, I am Aisha, a reporter from the Aliens Weekly magazine. I am here to interview you about your professional life for our weekly column.

Alien: Hi, thanks for having me.

Me: Tell us about your work.

Alien: I am responsible for maintaining parts of a program that runs our entire planet.

Me: Interesting. What does your typical day look like?

Alien: I am normally in the waiting mode. I get a call when there is an issue in the main program. I go and fix it and then I am back in the waiting mode.

Me: How many hours do you work every day?

Alien: I work all day.

Me: Doesn’t your body need rest?

Alien: Hmm…well, I don’t have a body.

Me: What do you mean?

Alien: We used to have bodies but then evolved into a bodiless form over millions of years. Now we are just independent pieces of code living inside a machine.

I thank the alien for the time and close the chat.

I have interviewed strange aliens before but never one who was just a piece of code!
