They call me the Futuristic Lover Of a Different DNA

Slaylien lands in Mitte, offering advice and exploring the neighborhood all at once. 

The MSF team was lucky enough to have encountered the extraterrestrial creature and snap a few pics along the way.

Did it hurt when I fell from the skies? Not necessarily. Did I look great while falling? Yes, probably. How did Earth look like from above? Questionable, but beautiful. Where did I land? Some place called Berlin, apparently.
The nails, crafted using old textile scraps, created by Vio (aka Gonzo Nails), serve as Slaylien’s #1 Tool, often utilized for opening champagne bottles, finding fun around town, firing up spaceships, and various nighttime activities.
NAILZ, NAILZ, NAILZ!!!!!

SLAYLIEN'S MISSION: INFILTRATE AND EDUCATE

Throughout the day, over at least 5 cups of coffee, Slaylien was explaining to the team how different it is in outer space. How landfills and garbage islands are a thing of the past on the planet they came from: how civilizations can thrive on regenerative practices and renewable energy.

It baffled them to see how far the human race has come, yet how the environment seems to be getting worse. However, Slaylien assured us by saying how advocating for a greener and more sustainable future by standing up for what’s right can truly revolutionize our planet and its relationship to nature itself.

"It takes time, but it's worth it in the end. Or in the beginning, depends on how you look at it." -Slaylien
