    I was driving to Megacon once and while stopped at a red light a Weeping Angel leans out of the passenger window of the car next to me and asks if they can pull in front of me when the light turned green. Of course I said yes, I’m not gonna piss off a Weeping Angel, lol.

    an obvious space alien driving a ford focus

    I think you mean Ford Prefect, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t drive, but he’s a hoopy frood who always knows where his towel is.

    So this was before cell phones, and I’ll bet the landlines got knocked out by the quake, so yeah, in the immediate aftermath, you’d have no idea if your family was ok until you raced home to check on them. Makes perfect sense they wouldn’t stop to take the shit off first.

    as a secret operative in the Obsidian Order, Garak would be pleased to be mistaken for just an “alien”

      You must be mistaken. Everybody knows Garak is a plain and simple tailor, as he will cheerfully tell you in the face of whatever evidence you might provide to the contrary.
