Warning the earth.
May. 22nd, 2014 10:17 amYou are the leader of a diplomatic mission dealing with the first contact problem.
It becomes apparent to you that the "friendly" aliens are not what they seem, and that their stated desire to 'serve humanity' could very well be culinary. It also very quickly becomes apparent to you that they are monitoring your diplomatic communications home and that any formal warning will trigger an immediate and violent response against you and your fellow team-members.
You have ONE opportunity to send ONE message that won't openly tip them off, to warn your entire species that trouble is on the way and to let you get away before they realise what you've done. What do you send?
I would choose this: http://youtu.be/iSifCF8k27A?t=37s
If I had audio, I might whistle the opening bars.
