Cry a little while eating my melted ice cream. Try going into denny's and ask the adults there where my family 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 lick melted ice cream out of the waffle cone for a few moments in a vague attempt to comfort yourself before trying to walk back into the Denny's. As you turn around, every light in the Denny's goes out in unison and the doors lock with a definitive metal "CLUNK".
HAP Finds the Ambassador's exercise routine perplexing at the least. He looks around for support from his teammates, only to find them .... yeeeeeaaaaah. Anyway, JAP grabs the Ambassador and firmly but gently plants him facing the ship:
"Over here, Ambassador. I know it's confusing, sir. But you don't have to imitate the Luchadors. We're Professionals! You just say hello to our new friend, eh?"
Hap chuckles to himself:
"Imitating a Luchador. A good way to get hurt, Ambassador. Why, you don't even have a Mask! There's no telling what Luchadoring would do to you. But it'd probably be horrible."
((I'm pretty sure this still qualifies as providing security. HAP still thinks the ship is harmless and friendly, and doesn't understand the Ambassador's retreat, because he doesn't see anything to retreat from. He's still of the mind that it's all been a misunderstanding.))
Description: a white mask, with black around the eyeholes and scowly eyebrows.

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 chase the ambassador. At first the chase is fairly easy; even though he's faster than your normal human runner, he's no match for a luchador. But as you grow closer, he speeds up. You notice that the pace at which he runs is staying the same, but with every step his legs are getting a little longer. You manage to keep pace with him, pushing yourself to go even faster, but can't catch up and grab him. You both sprint off away from the hanger and towards the city, maybe a half mile away.
[2 acclaim!]
Now that my dignity has been restored, stealthily investigate the ambassador. There's something strange going on here.

You take off after the ambassador, easily overtaking him and then turning around to run backwards, squinting at the man as you do so. The man's formerly pudgy and nonthreatening features have elongated massively. His face resembles something like a shark mixed with a man, a long, sharp snout ending in a flaring human nose and huge almond shaped eyes above a mouth filled with teeth that start human but become huge fangs further back in the jaw.
[3 acclaim!]
Mask
Name: El Escuchador
Description: The mask is a massive fleshy ear covering the face. It could be described as "handsome". The accompanying costume is a flesh colored morphsuit.
Gimmick: [2] Super Hearing - Escuchador can hear basically anything, and can use it to detect enemies and fight more effectively.
Weakness: Super Mute - [1] The Escuchador mask does not physically allow the wearer to speak.
Signature: Unlistening - [2] The Esuchador ear temporarily morphs into a mouth that shouts everything it heard since this ability was last used all at once in one massive sonic blast.

My running theory is that the ambassador is NOT human and the alien ship knows and wants to say hey bro.
Not again! Pry myself out and chase that ambassador/ship!
I have no idea what do once I'm there, but maybe I'll get Medbayed and learn something new.
[2]
You pry, you struggle, you squirm, you swear (inwardly), you shout (inwardly, again) and you convulse but your actions are utterly in vain. As you watch, everyone runs off, chasing the ambassador. Everyone except Golden Star who just...sort of looks both dazed and a bit sad.
The alien ship slips past the ambassador and his pursuers and comes to a stop maybe 300ft in front of the group. Its metallic body flows and then explodes outward, forming a wall of metal spikes blocking the way for over 100 yards in either direction.
