Atomic Hideout, Episode 2-7: The Carnivore

The Carnivore
With special guest narrator: Louise Porter

Why were they apologetic? It wasn't their fault that they came to Earth much too late.

It's the end of the world, and humanity has been saved by a conglomerate of the cutest aliens imaginable.  So, why do they seem so worried... and why to they keep apologizing?
