How about just change the eyes so they occasionally randomly move. This is probably simple enough to implement as a media player plugin or browser addon that could be distributed with pirated games. Just imagine this starts happening at random. Bonus points if it spreads to your other devices.
I’m dubious of faster than life travel being for reasons beyond our understanding of physics. If there were a reasonable way to do so 1 race anywhere in the galaxy could have colonized the entire galaxy or at least a substantial portion thereof in only a few million years. If it is possible it seems to suggest that life is so rare that there are very few forms of higher intelligent life in the galaxy at any given time and probably relatively few ever.
