Walking down the Hall of Corridors to once again check on the underwater city, Daniel softly pulls back the refracted waves. To his astonishment he sees long dark oil clouds floating toward the city.
“Where did they come from?” he gasps.
Thinking of the headlines in the news, Daniel finally realizes what is happening. “So, that is why the oil has been allowed to escape for so long. They are finally showing their true side. There must be some knowledge that the world government wants and they are finally saying ‘No we won’t share any more of our technology.’”
“It is the same as it was in my world. At first, they seem friendly and willing to share their knowledge of weapons and conveniences that they have, in exchange for living on the same planet. Of course, they never let the people know that what they are sharing is on a Kindergarten level, while they keep knowledge hidden that is on a College level. Once more of their people have arrived they will use their hidden knowledge, to finally take over. If they are beginning to say no, that means that their numbers are growing and they know that more ships will be coming soon with more of their people.”
Continuing to remember the advanced knowledge that they have, Daniel starts to laugh. “This government thinks that these oil clouds will be a threat to them. They think that it will stick to the dome that covers their city, blocking out the sun light and air. This shows how stupid some of these human beings really are. First of all, the ocean has the capacity to clean up any oil spill. After all oil is a natural part of this world. Why do you think that there is so much salt in the ocean? And why do the waves churn, ebb and flow?
And even if there is some oil left, or the Ocean didn’t have the ability to clean up these clouds of oil, the people, who have created this underwater city have the ability to clean it up within a few days. They must have laughed at the feeble try to show superiority. These people don’t fear governments or technology. They are far superior than they let on.”
“These people do, however, fear the capabilities that each human has, if the humans were to realize their true potential. These visitors have helped this world in technology only to keep the humans entertained and focused on things far below what they are capable of becoming. In this way, if they can keep the humans lulled into a since of security, always thinking of entertainment rather than becoming like the God that created them, the humans will never attain their full potential and will never become a threat to them.”
“This will be interesting to see how this whole conflict turns out.” Daniel smiles and walks back to his patients.
