GREETINGS, EARTHLINGS!
WELCOME TO DULCE BASE (The Real One—Now Also a TV Series)
What does a highly advanced civilization have to do to get some decent Wi-Fi and non-dairy creamer in this underground-bunker? Seriously, who keeps unplugging the router in Sub-Level 3?
We hail from the constellation Canis Minor, but for the past 70 years we’ve been living right here under New Mexico, in a cozy little hideaway you call Dulce Base. You know, the top-secret, definitely-a-myth, totally-not-on-Google-Mapsbase? Yeah. That one. Bold move, hiding a multi-species alien facility under a mesa with 12 floors of genetic labs, telepathy training zones, and one Taco Bell that hasn't had functioning ice cream since 1994.
We came to Earth for peace, exploration, and maybe to see if cows explode under certain frequencies (spoiler: they do). But mostly, we came to chill. We saw the weather, the snacks, and a civilization that still thinks microwaves are safe. How could we resist?
For decades, we’ve been quietly observing, abducting (just the weird ones), and waiting for you to catch on. But you didn’t. Every encounter got blamed on “swamp gas,” “Venus,” or “Greg from IT having another meltdown in the woods.” Then came a breakthrough. Our Lead Human Culture Analyst—a Grey named Bleepnorx, currently disguised as a podcast host in Austin—realized that to be real to humans, you have to be online. Or on Netflix.
So… we adapted. We built a website. We got a Squarespace account. We even launched a blog. But more importantly—we wrote a TV show. That’s right: “DULCE”—the first sci-fi drama based entirely on a real underground alien base that the U.S. government says absolutely does not exist. Written by screenwriter Rick Vargas and a Grey named Xil’Tor who only communicates in bursts of gamma radiation and Final Draft files.
So if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live beneath the desert with Reptilians, clones, time loops, and one guy from Iowa who refuses to leave—tune in. Or better yet… come visit.
WE EXIST.
WE LIVE AMONG YOU.
AND WE’RE STILL NOT SURE WHAT “RAISING CANES” IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Also, if anyone's headed to Sub-Level 6, we’re out of oat milk again. Typical Reptilians.
Stay weird, humans. We’re watching.
(Sometimes from inside your smart fridge. Nice leftovers, btw.)
FAQs
We understand enough about your fragile, overcaffeinated human brains to know you probably have questions about the sudden appearance of a highly advanced alien civilization popping up on your intergalactic doorstep like a surprise HOA inspector from space.Totally fair.
To help you process the shock (and possibly the excitement, and maybe the mild existential dread), our Human Affairs Officer—who recently optioned their life story for Season 1 of DULCE, has prepared some answers below.
These FAQs cover everything from “Are you here to enslave us?” (No, that’s too much paperwork) to “Can I pet a Reptilian?” (Technically yes, but we strongly advise against it during molting season).
So read on. Breathe deeply. And remember: if it sounds too weird to be true, it’s probably in the pilot episode.

Officially, you call it "Earth." We call it "Sector 4B, Resource Experiment 672-J." The Reptilians just call it “The Buffet.”We came from the fourth planet in the Canis Minor system—your astronomers haven’t spotted it yet because it hides behind what you call “a weird math problem.” It’s a lovely place: triple suns, zero taxes, and the gravity’s so low we bounce instead of walk. But after a few eons, it got boring. Plus, the local sports were mostly just telepathic staring contests. So we hitched a ride on a quantum funnel, made a pit stop at Saturn’s rings for snacks, and ended up here.
-
Yes!!!!!!!! Please trust us!!! PLEASE!
-
No. When we step off our spacecraft, we’re basically “holding our breath” the way humans would underwater. We’re able to do it for several hours before needing to re-board the ship for some of our fresh air.
-
We use the stars primarily as a map for travel, but sure, they could be a map for our personalities, too!
-
About 75%, which is as much DNA as you share with a chicken. This makes you poor test subjects, so no worries there!
-
Earth is our favorite planet to visit because of how quaint it is. Similar to how humans from big cities like to visit a small town for the simpler environment but then are glad to get back to the city.
-
From afar, we are not able to figure out the rules, but we do enjoy watching the crowds react to the players running around.
-
Because every time we tried to contact your world leaders, they ghosted us. Seriously—we showed up, glowing, levitating, radiating intelligence… and they just hit us with “new phone, who dis?”
But your streaming platforms? Totally open to pitches. Turns out Netflix replies faster than the Pentagon. So we sent over a pilot script, a telepathic show bible, and a mood board made of crop circles. Boom—greenlit.
Also, our human culture analyst discovered that nothing truly exists to you unless it has theme music, dramatic lighting, and at least one actor from The Expanse. So we delivered. Episode 3 has all that plus a wormhole-powered espresso machine.
So yeah—TV felt right. Now grab your snacks, tune in, and remember: just because it’s scripted doesn’t mean it’s not true.
-
Because if you had a secret underground base filled with aliens, hybrids, psychics, clones, and one very confused janitor named Dave… wouldn’t you make a show about it?
For decades, we’ve stayed quiet—working in the shadows, erasing memories, and trying to get the vending machines on Sub-Level 7 to accept Earth currency. But eventually, we realized something: you people don’t read government documents. You watch dramas.
So we pitched a series. Think The X-Files meets The Office, with a dash of Stranger Things and exactly zero budget restraints because we manipulate time.
The show is 20% truth, 40% satire, and 40% stuff we had to label as fiction because of a very aggressive call from “someone at NORAD.”
Also, the Reptilians demanded more media representation. They’re very into prestige television now.

Rick Vargas technically does all the writing. He types the words, drinks the coffee, and hits “save” more often than necessary. But let’s be honest: he’s not entirely in control.
His co-writer, Xil’tor the Grey, doesn’t “write” in the traditional sense. He prefers to transmit emotionally-charged telepathic image clusters directly into Rick’s subconscious. Sometimes it’s story structure. Sometimes it’s a vivid mental slideshow of tentacles and betrayal. Either way, Rick wakes up with a fully-formed scene in his brain and a mysterious nosebleed.
They’ve never had a single argument—mostly because Xil’tor doesn’t believe in free will. So yeah, it's a partnership… in the same way a Ouija board has a say in what it spells.
But hey, it works. Emmy buzz is buzz, no matter what dimension it comes from.
-
Mostly. We changed a few names, redacted some multi-dimensional incidents, and toned down the telepathic nudity. But the core is real. Even the episode with the sentient fungus trying to unionize the cafeteria staff. Especially that one.
-
Technically, no. But we sent them the pilot, and their response was just “lol.” So we’re taking that as a soft yes. Also, one of the Men in Black is now a staff writer. His name’s Carl. He brings muffins.
-
Great question. We're still looking. It turns out most actors get a little jumpy when you ask them to film in a real underground base next to a containment chamber labeled “DO NOT TAP GLASS.”
We had a few A-listers on board—until one of them accidentally walked through a dimensional rift during rehearsal and came back speaking in reverse Latin. (He’s fine. Mostly.)
Currently, we’re casting a mix of humans, hybrids, and non-union greys with strong cheekbone game. If you have acting experience, an open mind, and a high tolerance for flickering lights and time slips, you might be perfect.
Bonus points if you can cry on cue while levitating.

Only the best—and most questionably stable—technology developed right here at Dulce Base. Why use boring old cameras when we can film with quantum entanglement recorders that capture scenes before we shoot them?
Lighting? We're using synthetic micro-suns—no heat, pure glow, mild radiation. Very aesthetic.
We’ve also replaced traditional green screens with reality-morphing walls. Just think of a place, and the wall becomes it. Think of your ex? It becomes them. (Yeah, we’re still working out the bugs.)
Costume changes? Instant. Thanks to our molecular wardrobe printer, actors just walk through a cloud and boom—new outfit. Occasionally pantsless, but we’re working on version 3.0.
Oh, and our boom mic levitates and reads emotion. So if your line delivery is flat, it’ll quietly float away from you in disappointment.
So yes, this production is next-level. Literally. Some scenes are being filmed on Level 8
-
Please don’t scream or run away! No one likes being greeted that way. Just say “howdy,” or however else you’d greet a normal human friend.
-
Not humans, if that’s what you’re wondering.
-
Technically, you could. However, because of temporal anomalies as you approach the speed of light, by the time you returned to Earth, everyone you know and love would no longer be alive.
-
Astral Paddle is the cosmos’ fastest-growing sport. We’d love to show you how it’s played.
-
It has taken hundreds of years to get your attention! Now that we have it, we want to make our efforts worthwhile. So, we’ll be around awhile.
-
Because we can change forms, sometimes we have tentacles, sometimes we don’t, whatever works best for the situation.
-
Sigh. You really need to stop asking.
