This is the preliminary edition of the Invisible Institute for Exobiological Research's multiple-choice survey questionnaire for those of you from other planets. If you're from another world and you're passing through or visiting for any other reason, please take a moment to fill out this questionnaire. It will help us make your stay a pleasurable and worthwhile experience. We cater for a wide range of tastes. Your co-operation will help us to make your experience on our planet as pleasant as possible. Here at the Invisible Intergalactic Tourist Board, we have the services you need:
- Ironing out those unfortunate little wrinkles that can occur on a badly-organized adventure before they even occur using our patented timeline rewriter technology.
- A negotiation package to finalize the itinerary of your planned activities. We are uniquely placed to negotiate on your behalf with all and any governmental and non-governmental organizations.
- Full insurance for healthcare and damage liability coverage.
- 3rd party insurance and damage liability coverage at competitive rates.
- Professional escort and security services for the duration of your stay.
- Disaster recovery and damage limitation consultancy in the event of misunderstandings.
Please note that as of the time of writing all visitors to this planet are required to take out a minimum of 3rd party damage liability insurance and that any security arrangements must be staffed with terrestrial humans. We strongly recommend that you make adequate security arrangements.
