A Turn to Sci-fi

Wendell's story has taken a sci-fi turn. What are those aliens up to? What have the scientists done to attract their attention? Or is Wendell imagining the whole thing? And what about Maria? What did she learn about Wendell in his report, right before he left the collider project? You don't have to be a physicist to figure this out. It's fiction, make it up as you go along. Help a girl out, add to the story.
Here's the sci-fi twist: (feel free to pick up another branch of the story and go from there, there are no limits).
It was early evening in Switzerland. Maria closed the cover of Wendell's report. So Wendell believed his team had found the elusive Higgs boson. Then again, Wendell believed a lot of other things, too. His report had trailed off into paranoid rambling. Mental problems. That explained his quick departure. Maria's musings were interrupted by a steady humming coming through the floorboards. She went to the window to see the birds settle over the area above the collider tunnel. "Damn," Maria thought, " what's going to go wrong now?"



Back in Arizona, Wendell and the staff watched the birds in their eerie meditation. 
"Hey guys," a voice croaked from the control room," You're not going to believe this. All the readings are stabilizing."

***Ship, you're improvising again,aren't you? Those birds...****



++ Well, yes, if you must ask. The avians were already disturbed and in places they weren't supposed to be, so I just...poked them. A little bit. Now the humans will be distracted from what is actually happening. CERN already postponed the nextsetof runs. This is what you wanted, yes? ++



**** NOT LIKE THIS, you quantum idiot! Do you think you might have chosen a MORE recognizable performance? The opening dance to "Twilight of the Krakens" is beloved by most of the sentients in the galaxy that don't abhor dancing to start with. Even some of THOSE cut "Krakens" some slack. You think the Monitors' field teams are not going to notice??!!! ****



++ I calculate a 93% likelihood that this will interrupt the experiments for at least 6 of their "months". ++

**** Great, they should be shouting at the galaxy again just about when the Monitors show up. Or worse, they DON'T make it in time. Then, instead, their skies will be full of Planetary Marauders and the seas full of Shoggoths! The Monitors might let the Marauders go, figuring we probably don't need the humans getting loose, anyway. But you know the cetaceans are going to register outrage over the Shoggoths, and the Monitors just adore cute fishy species! ****



++ But just consider... ++



**** BUT NOTHING! We will be lucky to escape with our scales intact. YOU will wind up slagging rocks as AIIC on some miserable asteroid way out on one of the spiral arms...after they give you a few hundred cycles of TSD just on general principles. ****



++ I would prefer to avoid the total sensory deprivation, if it's all the same to you... ++



****. Then use your much-praised Class 1 brain and THINK OF SOME WAY OUT OF THIS BLACK HOLE. Need we add, sooner is better? ****

(back to Wendell)

Carl swore. "The readings are stabilizing? As opposed to WHAT? I thought we took care of that little problem this morning. Never mind me, I'm only the plant foreman...

Wendell, talk to those damn Russians and find out what in hell is happening now."
