This week, our final Marvellous Box opens to reveal a secret from beyond the stars. Is it a gift? A curse? Or nothing more than we make of it? Nothing can be certain when we find that '''Aliens Are Like Mirages'''.

==Cast of Characters==
Pam Doree

Private Eddie Mathis

Dr. Timothy Dusek

Dr. Aaron Wasserman

Dr. Tanaka

Campbell Jarvis

Production Assistant

== Plot ==

Divinity student Pam Doree is made responsible for a box that appears to have been sent to Earth by evangelicals from outer space. The miraculous box offers humanity a means to make the world a more unified place. Of course, such things don’t come without some kind of sacrifice.

== Quotes ==

PAM:  So it's not pulling molecules out of us, right?

WASSERMAN:  Right!  Which is good news!



DUSEK:  And what is the basis of ''your'' faith, Mr. Javis?

JARVIS:  Oh, eye-witness accounts and reproducability.  The Bible and the scientific method.  Mulder and Scully.

== Trivia ==
The story plays with the myth of Pandora's Box.  Pam Doree is a variation on Pandora, and Eddie Mathis somewhat parallels Epimetheus.

Dr. Timothy Dusek is a Professor of Theology and Ethics.  In Czech, his surname means "soul."
