Angry: Science Fiction

Making them angry was easy, it was keeping them that way that was a challenge. After methodically insulting their entire family lines and making dire threats about what he would do to their nearest and dearest if they failed at this, the lines started to waver and soften. He had to say horrible, unforgivable things, had to approach them, had to touch them to keep them angry. Once it got that far, though, their anger hardened into a flat, steady line of spikes that could have endured for hours, though Earth only needed it for the roughly 20 minutes that the Grey passed through close orbit.

Inspiration: Oh, some Japanese video about making people angry.
Story Potential: Low.
Notes: And earth was saved from the empath aliens. Or something.
