You leap up...right straight into the psudopod. It, of course, immediately swells out and encases you.
"REMEMBER ME...AS...A GO-GO DANCER!" you shout as your head disappears into the liquid metal.

You step up, get yourself into a horse stance, and begin punching and kicking with great vigor. Its quite a sight, fists and feet flying at super sonic speeds, startling martial arts yells, anime speedlines, everything you would expect.
Unfortunately you do it a good 10 feet from the pseudopod, seriously menacing the air but doing nothing at all to the ship itself.

Darnit! Tread water while trying to shake it (the hurty) off.
EDIT: Never was good at math. Woops! Thanks chief.
You shake off the stunning effects of being punted a mile into the ocean and swim back to shore.
Wander around aimlessly, trying to find where everything went.
Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.
Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

You wander forward about ten feet, put your hands on your hips, look around, squint your eyes, grumble, and then turn 90 degrees, and then repeat.
"You look away for half a second to admire your own stunning looks and suddenly everyone is gone. This is just like that time my parents abandoned me at a Denny's somewhere in rural arizona. Minus the aliens of course. And the super powers."
"Hey! that's our ride! Oh no, did I initiate first contact? The Ambassador is going to be mad. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry."
HAP deposits the guards next to the Ambassador and Graceful Ninja, then runs over to the shuttle, looking for the pilot:
"Golden Eagle! You okay, buddy? You in there? Need a hand?
If necessary, HAP will set the shuttle upright.
"Those dents will buff right out, I'm sure, buddy. It's still good, it's still good!

Effectively just observe and let the welcoming committee do their job. Only engage if the aliens do something hostile, and even then only protect others until it becomes obvious the hostile action is intentionally malevolent instead of just a misunderstanding. Golden Eagle emphasizes that last point; Earth almost went to war with Mars the first time the Martian's landed and their greeting was misconstrued as an attempt to strangle the emissary. Apparently the welcoming committee is already waiting at the projected landing site; for the moment you'll just be acting as security; unless things get weird or dangerous.
You set the guards down behind Graceful Ninja. [1] You then run over to the shuttle. You tear open the front section and find it full of nothing but mechanical parts and electronics. Tears come to your eyes and you fall to your knees. You raise your hands to the heavens and scream "NOOOOOOO THEY TURNED THE PILOT INTO A ROBOT! AND THEN KILLED HIM! WHYYYYYYYYY?!"
The Ship pulls Threnody into its main body and then stops moving all together, making a series of low and high pitched beeps.
