Zyx is an alien trapped in human form. She was a revolutionary on her home planet and got caught finally when jay-walking through a canal. Sentenced to study the human race in preparation for a future invasion, she spends most of her time trying to bolster Earth's planetary defense systems and frequently transmits lewd, crude, and socially unacceptable messages back to her planet of origin, most recently the image of a human artificially inseminating a large ungulate. Suffice it to say, the human race in general finds her to be odd, eccentric, weird, and quirky.
