Mary of Harvard: The Alien Psychiatrist

Narrated vignette-account of a NASA-Weyland space-pilot whose 'psychiatry' experiment with a Martian draws ideations of the 'human' quotient.

A space-age flight-experience 'parody' loosely inspired by the very funny movie There's Something About Mary (Ben Stiller), and a 'cool' reference to the Weyland-Yutani space-corp, which I think you'll like,

I'd been working/flying on the Sulaco (NASA-Weyland) for some time now and was invaded by a Martian-alien 'dragon' being named Endymion who wanted to become my 'official' human-psychiatrist and wanted to know why humans/I loved things and toys like Facebook-chess, which I did! My name's Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow').

The Martian dragon-being, an insect-like man-sized intelligent but calculating man-creature named Endymion was fascinated by my NASA-Weyland craft and wanted to know what drew me to space-travel and my life's concerns for psychiatry and what made my life before space-travel so special/evaluative, which I opted to share. I showed him diagrams of the Sulaco I made while flying in space.

ENDYMION: I want inside your head, Captain Satan (Amlan!) and want you to think of me as a psychiatry-IQ being; tell me all.

So, I decided to invest myself in this psychiatry-experience with the invader-alien (Endymion) and told him about my pre-space life, my time(s) at Harvard where I'd encountered a very unusual female college-student named Mary, an Asian-Indian woman, who seemed to have this almost-'uncanny' ability to hypnotize several male Harvard students who found her not only 'exotic' but also hypnotic and averted their normal life-path(s) and became something like stalkers. I did the same, turning to a life of experimental-philosophy, determined to win Mary's affections by impressing her with eco-philosophy at Harvard! That's the effect Mary had on us male students during my time(s) at Harvard. It was quite an ordeal, in reality, and Endymion (the Martian!) seemed 'truly' fascinated by this all (really).

ME: I'd been studying in modern multimedia-resourced classrooms (Harvard!) and learning about language-art(s) of chessplay.

ENDYMION: Sounds like this 'heavenly-angel' (Mary!) had it all, Amlan; she'd captured the 'soul(s)' of the Harvard men, no?

Endymion was right about his perceptions/evaluation(s) of the hypnotic-Mary (Harvard) and the affect of life-alteration(s) she seemed to 'magnetically' draw with the hypnotized men of Harvard. They found her smart, offbeat, exotic, and transporting (to 'other-worldly' imaginations), and some even dropped-out of their normal regular patriot-activity from Harvard, like lacrosse and the math-club, just to invest more 'time(s)' with this heavenly-Mary (as Endymion now referred to this hypnosis-queen of Harvard student-life mutations).

ENDYMION: I'm gifting you this special/magical Earth-society movie-themed chess-set (Amlan) for you to study mind-schemes!

Endymion proved (ironically!) to be an 'invaluable' human-world psychiatrist during my Sulaco-mission (NASA-Weyland), and he made me promise not to tell anyone of this 'encounter' while he planned his (secret!) Earth-ocean abyss self-isolationist exile, with no inter-species contact design/agenda, since he'd been contended with this psychiatry-journal with me, Captain Amlan Satan of the grand Sulaco vessel, but he also made me promise to create this 'fantasy' psyche-account/vignette of a hypothetical human-mind exercise in personal/psychiatric indulgence in that our race considers...a toast to the 'democracy' experiment(s). Can you make sense of it?

Seems to need to be reworked but i see where you are going. A bit over the top with Endymion being so forceful and direct; does not seem capable of being a good psycho-analyst. Funny ending though, with a question...
