June 1971
There was a rash of UFO sightings. The government’s
attempts to discount them as hallucinations and air force testing was working.
Had the truth been known it would cause global panic. In fact Government
officials from all over the world were meeting in Roswell, New Mexico with
aliens who had landed on Earth.
The planet they hailed from was one that had not been
charted. It had been raped of all natural resources. Evolution and inventions
had brought about pollution and radiation which left their planet uninhabitable.
Power struggles lead to the creation of nuclear weapons of mass destruction
leaving the air polluted and food sources contaminated. Incurable diseases
ran rampant, leaving their population skeletal.
The few healthy aliens that remained built space crafts
to enable them to leave. Their only alternative was to remain and perish
along with the millions who were dead and dying. Each alien underwent a
physical examination to ensure they were free of illness and disease before
they were allowed to board. The remainder of the populace was exterminated
by weapons that were mercifully deployed once there craft had attained
a safe distance.
They spent light years touring and investigating other
planets in hopes of finding a place where they could exist. Their physical
traits were incapable of adapting to certain environments and there was
not enough time to develop environmentally friendly structures. They found
Earths atmosphere closest to their own.
Several aliens stood and explained that they had been
among humans for the last two hundred years. With the help of medicine
their lungs were able to adapt and process air.
“The last few decades earth’s atmosphere has
become so polluted that it has been necessary for us to inject ourselves
weekly rather than monthly with a chemical we have developed that allows
our bodies to process and eliminate the contaminates that are causing humans
many of the fatal physical maladies,” the alien who introduced himself
as Mork, said.
“We could have easily taken control of your planet
at any time. When we sent our first teams here to investigate this was
our intention. However, we have no desire to repeat the mistakes of our
ancestors. As we studied your habits, we discovered that humans are not
very different from our own race. The only advantage that we have is the
fact that we evolved several millenniums before you. We have also become
quite fond of some of you,” The next alien Treak, said.
“We enjoy the creature comforts that you have developed.
Our sustenance consisted of bland wafers processed from our dead. We soon
discovered that this aided and accelerated the spread of disease and it
was not nearly as enjoyable as your fare, my personal favorites being the
Italian and Mexican cuisine. The third Alien Meark, said.
“Not to mention your methods of reproduction are
much more enjoyable than our incubation chambers. We can not procreate
successfully with each other as we have delightfully been able to do with
you humans,” The assistant to the czar said.
The officials were revolted by their physical appearance.
Fear struck in their hearts when they realized what this meant, they had
been here all this time. They had been spending almost every day of their
lives working and entertaining officials who were aliens.
“This is an atrocity and I for one do not plan to
allow you take over our world.” The prime minister of Russia said
as he stood and attempted to leave. There were many comments made that
supported his views. When he got to the door he found that he could not
open it.
“Just how do you presume to stop us, you can not
even leave this room unless we allow it. We are going to live on this planet
with you or without you, it’s your decision?” The First lady,
Rosalyn said. The room fell quiet. The Russian returned to his seat.
The President of the United States was aghast as he watched
his wife Rosalyn; whom he had been married to for thirty six years, morph
into alien form. He never had a clue.
“We have kids together. What of our children are
they your species or mine?” he asked.
The look on his face told her that her natural appearance
was abhorrent to him, she would have to use her capabilities to change
his views, it would not be hard they had been implementing there own thoughts
and decisions into the earthlings undeveloped minds since they had arrived.
She took his hand in her own, and lay the other on the side of his face
affectionately. “Unfortunately your genetics are stronger, all four
of our children are human.” She did not tell him that by the time
they turned forty alien traits would start to surface.
Several politicians rose and proved that they were actually
alien impersonators. Each one held key positions making them the primary
decision makers of human governments. The White House, Parliament, the
Vatican, The Kremlin every country had at least four aliens in power.
The aliens all changed back into human form, they appeared
to be amused by the childlike tantrums these human rulers displayed.
The president of Cuba spoke as he walked around the room,
“We shared some of our technology with you, some of our simpler creations
such as the microwave and lasers and satellites. Instead of utilizing these
things for good your scientist experimented, changed and distorted these
wonderful inventions until they were weapons. Medicines we made available
to you that could have cured any medical malady including the ebola virus,
aides, cancer, flu, pneumonia, heart attacks, lung and kidney disease have
been greedily horded by pharmaceutical and insurance companies for their
own agendas instead of using the medicines to cure the poor and middle
classes. Only the richest of the rich were helped.”
The Pope stood, “If you could all join hands and
close your eyes we will show you why you need our knowledge to save the
human race and this planet.”
They hesitantly complied.
It was if they were watching a movie. They saw black and
oriental slaves being taken from their villages and placed on boats where
many died of starvation and disease. They were thrown into the sea while
others were sent to their deaths because they attempted to fight for their
freedom. Once at their destination they showed the woman and men being
sold and made to work in fields under unspeakable conditions. Flashes of
gang fights, the holocaust and wars flashed through their minds along with
visions of women being raped down through generations resulting in retarded,
handicapped children. Family members committing incestuous acts on their
children making their futures bleak, dismal trauma filled existences. Prisons
filled with young men who would never be allowed to live up to their full
potential for crimes that were minor compared to the governments atrocities.
They cringed at the site of bombs dismembering and beheading
men who were too young to die in senseless wars. Abraham Lincoln, The Kennedy’s,
Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X fell to the ground as they were shot
dead. Jews being taken from their homes to live in camps where they were
exterminated much like bugs.
They shrank in their chairs as bombs fell in Hawaii, Japan
and Europe. They viewed train cars being left on the tracks in ghettos,
knowing full well that the abandoned cars would be investigated by the
people looking for something to supplement their meager incomes. They would
find guns and automatic weapons resulting in decades of genocide.
Livestock injected with steroids to make them grow abnormally
large, the same steroids that remained in the food after it was prepared
for human consumption, causing an influx of obesity and heart disease.
Food stamps were made available to the poorer races for the asking. Within
the communities, of government aided housing; like section 8, they could
contain these people in desired areas. The government flooded these ghettos
and barrios with alcohol and drugs which further crippled the minority
races, this plan backfiring as it leaked into their sheltered communities
through their children, who now sat in expensive rehabilitation centers
getting their lives back, while assistance for Medicaid was cut to the
bone due to cutbacks.
“Wars threatening nation against nation would wipe
clean all planetary life. The nuclear, biological and chemical weapons
would not play favorites. Even the person who detonates the bomb will be
affected unless there is a place to wait out the next two years while the
earth regenerates and cleanses itself as our planet has been doing for
the last year.” The Prince of Iraq said.
“As much as I enjoy some of the creature comforts
that you humans afford us, do not make the mistake of thinking that our
own existence will be secondary to sentiment, we can always clone more
of you, this will happen with or without your assent,” The czars
assistant said.
Rosalyn stood and said “We suggest that things go
on as they have been for now, we will give you one week to deliberate.
We propose the construction of a shelter that would house approximately
two million disease free people who have occupations that will contribute
to the reconstruction of earth.” The aliens took their leave while
the humans stayed sitting in silence trying to process what they had just
experienced.
Knowing that they had no choice when they met again they
begun working out the details. Rather than die they would cohabitate.
