Impulse- the Awakening

by Alberto Park

  We will send seeds that will nourish the earth again by removing all traces of pesticides, fertilizers and chemicals that have damaged the planet's soil for generations. There will be more vegetation spontaneous and synchronized with the peak of chaos.

  The next thing will be that humanity will question the purpose of money. They will try to experiment with exchange models, they will seek to implement a new currency, but all the great minds and beautiful souls that have been ridiculed, threatened, hidden and subjugated in the past, will give them the answers that the emissaries have left them in the last half-century.

  They will create a universal society based on technology and for this to happen, all the jobs in the world will have to be rethought.

  Reptilians will not be able to dominate them if they develop their spirituality, if they connect with the center, if they contemplate nature.

  They will be free humans, no race will possess them, the star cycle will continue. The precession will be able to follow its course in harmony and this beautiful school planet will continue feeding the experiences to the universal memory. This is how it should be.

  This will be the new life, everything from then will be based on the decision of humanity and the course they take will be a consequence of their actions, without the intervention of someone else.

  This all starts with a first step.

  We have imagined multiple ways to start the collapse of the world economy, from pandemics, cataclysms, electromagnetic pulses, to our appearance at the United Nations. Finally, we decided that all our ideas would be to take our intervention beyond the level of humanity. And that is why we ask you to help us make that decision.

  Scott you are the most capable strategist I know, and also the only one with the ability to see all possible scenarios.

  Scott understood exactly what Charlie was referring to in that last sentence, but what followed would not be easy.

  —Thank you very much for the honor, but this is putting a great responsibility for the three of us. —Sarah was not so convinced that it was a good idea and did not want that responsibility on her shoulders.

  —Actually, it's just about you. —Charlie looked at Scott, thought it was time to let him know his real purpose in program 20 and back —Since we brought you to the program we have given you access to many races and lifeforms; We have taken you to visit other planets; You have been able to participate in our advanced technology programs and everything has been a preparation. We believe that your intelligence and analytical capacity have always been superior, we have made improvements to your DNA and you have infinite potential. You must make a decision and communicate it with us, you can decide not to participate, you can even ask us not to intervene and we can all wait for the Alliance to deliberate and take a stand.

  Charlie left the room quietly, while Sarah and Jack looked at Scott with concern. Neither of them would like to be in his shoes at the moment, anyway, there was no need to show their support, Scott knew he had it without saying a word, beyond rank and duty, it was a loyalty that transcended friendship.

  —Let’s get out of here, we'll get to the base soon, and I'd like to visit the General before making a decision.

  Leaving the room they went to their respective cabins and in less than 2 minutes they were at the base. This base was located on the moon, where they shared space with many alien races and all coexisted with efficient diplomacy.

  They entered through the dark side of the moon inwards through a set of channels that led them to the base that was nothing more than an assigned area inside. The descent was a little slow, since they could not travel very fast inside, the outer wall of the moon is up to forty-eight kilometers before reaching the hollow center, at some points the crust is thinner, becomes only thirty-one kilometers.

  NASA and Russian scientists have intentionally impacted lunar modules and small satellites to corroborate that theory that the moon is hollow. They do not have access to information from the space program, but they know that the density of the Moon is less than that of Earth and does not correspond to its size. It is too light to be a natural satellite, and they are also struck by the countless number of anomalies that have existed on the Moon since the invention of the telescope and have been recorded by important astronomers.

  While descending from the ship it was capable to see hundreds of people descending from it, only the ship was so small on the outside. It is as if they were deceiving the laws of physics, inside the ship seemed to have no end, but on the outside it was very small, the measurements did not correspond, it was somewhat implausible. This technology was held only by Alliance ships, while Federation ships were highly advanced compared to Earth ferries, but not at the level of Alliance ships.

  Upon reaching the base, it took them a minute to arrive with the General.

  —General. —Scott spoke in a military tone, and after a second relaxed as soon as the General's rank disappeared.

  —Scott, how nice to see you. I thought you wouldn't come back. What are you doing here? —I need to talk with you.

  —His voice was lower and relaxed, in a personal level.

  —Sure, but… How did you know I would be here?

  —You love working here, you are not one of those who returns to earth and I assumed you would not live in Thalos Dos every day, so it was a hunch.

  —You know me. And looking at you here, it seems like you love your job too. But have you decided to return to Earth to have a normal life with Sarah? By the way. How is she?

  —She’s outside with Jack. I asked them to wait ten minutes.

  —Oh, I see it will be a quick visit. Tell me how can I help you Scott?

  —It is very complex, but I will try to summarize it for you.

  —Yesterday Sarah and I were brought back because an Alliance group led by Charlie intends to intervene on earth to take power away from the dissident Reptilians.

  They have summoned many friendly earth races, but the consequences of their plans can be disastrous. The Council will not intervene, whether or not the Alliance should do something about it and the Alliance has started a debate on what they should do. Charlie has come to the conclusion that that decision does not belong to them. And he asked me to make that

  —I see. —The General said, as if it were something very simple to process —Sarah and Jack know it?

  —Sarah and Jack are aware of this situation.

  —So why are they outside while we talk?

  —You’re so smart. - Scott paused unnecessarily - I need access to the orb.

  —Hahaha. I think some of your neurons fried while bringing you back. Hahaha —The General was laughing out loud. He seemed to have heard the best joke of his life. But little by little his laugh diminished when he realized that Scott was still motionless in front of him. —Ah… I’m sorry Scott, but you know that neither the Commander nor the Minister has access to it. It is not a toy that we can dispose of. But I appreciate that you made me laugh, my day was being very boring.

  —I will take the favor that you owe me David. —Scott said very seriously raising his eyebrows.

  —You are a brave son of a bitch to come all the way here and take the favor I owe you. But I gave you my word Scott. I'm going to be honest with you now, I don't want to create any expectations for you. I don't know how I can give you access to the orb; I've never been close to it. I only know of its existence from Charlie.

  —I have everything planned. Do not worry about it.

  Saving Thalos Dos

  Scott helped General David Miller on several occasions to correct the course of his tactical and strategic decisions thanks to his analytical skills.

  The General had been dispatched in an advance by the space program for a reconnaissance mission. The purpose was to establish contact with the ambassador of Thalos Dos and to create a strategic base on this planet. The inhabitants a
lready knew other worlds and other species, so they were allowed to interact with them and have diplomatic visits.

  The goal was to have more efficient provisioning on two nearby planets that were guarded by the Alliance. In those small planets existed technologically non-evolved humanoid races, but with a high degree of spirituality. And as part of the protection agreement, they would be provided with security to avoid being intervened by dissidents seeking to undermine the resources of that planet.

  Thalos Dos was a beautiful planet abundant in every way, the place had a mystical air and a mysterious haze all the time. They had a spiritually elevated race, they were going through the third cycle of their era, they spoke little and they loved too much, their only problem was that they could no longer reproduce so easily, they were becoming a sterile society in the last generations. The planet orbited around a blue star, in such a way that its atmosphere was shining whit cold light, the cycles around its star lasted two and a half Earth years and its inhabitants were long-lived, reaching up to six hundred human years, that would be equivalent to about two hundred and forty years in its chronology.

  They loved spending the day contemplating nature and meditating. Their social gatherings were boring in the eyes of any human.

  During his stay, General Miller fell in love with the heart of Narahn, the ambassador's daughter. Physically she was different from a human in many ways, her ears were smaller, her shoulders were more fallen, her eyes slightly farther apart, slightly slanted and larger.

  They had no hair and their body were perfect. All the inhabitants of Thalos Dos had a perfect body despite not exercising, their diet was natural, they did not cook, they took what was necessary from the fruits and vegetation. She was not a regular beauty, but the General fell in love with her heart. It was a love that grew and grew over three months as the negotiations fell apart and the possibility of having a base was fading.

  The Alliance needed to have that base. They quickly realized that the General was not delivering favorable results in the negotiation and was replaced by an Alliance ambassador who continued with the negotiations, unfortunately, they were not successful.

  Scott worked closely with the General and knew him very well to realize that the General had left something more on Thalos Dos than his failed mission. Scott had sufficient credentials to investigate what had happened and through Charlie, he learned of his failure in the negotiation and his involvement with the ambassador's daughter.

  He secretly studied for a couple of weeks with Sam, who was an insectoid consultant, expert in genetics.

  They searched for what could be causing degeneration in the Thalodians DNA and found that the cause was the design of the mercury reactors, which powered the planet wirelessly. Hundreds of generations ago, they had discovered how to use self-sustaining energy with mercury reactors, but did not test the side effects in controlled environments before using them on a global scale.

  Scott went to General Miller and shared what he had discovered, showing him the results of the Thalodian genetics and how their DNA had been degenerately affected by the contamination of micro-particles of mercury in the environment, as well as the plans of the mercury reactor model they had. He showed him a map of the Alliance's rectors, which were more efficient, more sustainable and with zero emissions.

  General Miller realized that with the information Scott had given him, not only could they save the Thalodians to restore their fertility and give them clean energy, he would also have an ace up his sleeve to negotiate the Alliance base and have a pretext to return to Narahn.

  Within two months, scientists at Thalos Dos had installed the Alliance's six reactors across the planet. They now had performance improvements and zero emissions of mercury particles into the atmosphere surrounding the planet and with the passing of the seasons, the mist that existed on the planet faded, giving a magical glow to the beautiful landscapes of Thalos Dos.

  Thalos Ambassador thanked the Alliance. He was particularly grateful to General Miller. Now the Ambassador saw General Miller as another Thalodian, because his interest in saving the planet was greater than that of installing the base and he opened a space in his family circle accepting him as Narahn's partner, since then the General has been with Narahn.

  General Miller swore to Scott that if he ever needed him, he would gladly help him.

  And that was exactly what was happening.

  The Key

  —All right Scott. I'm all ears. Explain to me. How exactly will we get access to the orb? —The General said as he crossed his arms and leaned against his desk.

  —The orb is in Thalos Dos. There I keep it together with Charlie. I need you to ask the Ambassador to meet you with a committee of three chaperones. I'm sure Narahn will be happy to see you.

  —And what am I supposed to tell them? Why would three people have to accompany me?

  —I can't help you with that. So I ask for your help. Something will occur to you General.

  —It seems that you really have everything planned. Let me make a call, wait outside please. It is not so easy to go to my father-in-law's house without a pretext.

  The General walked up to the door and opened it.

  —General.

  —Mayor.

  They nodded and the formal tone returned immediately as Scott moved from the office to the waiting room where Jack and Sarah were still waiting for him.

  —Did it go so badly for us? Did you really think the General would help us just because?

  Jack took it for granted that everything had gone wrong as it had taken even less than ten minutes to open the door for him to get out of his office. Neither Sarah nor Jack knew Scott's agreement with General Miller, Scott was very reserved with what he did on his missions, he had always been a good soldier and working in intelligence always required a complete secrecy of everything that is known.

  —What happened, will he help us with something or was a waste of time?

  Scott was still serious and did not answer the questions. He only sat down with a carefree attitude knowing that the General would formulate something to be able to travel to Thalos Dos, also that after their return they had not been reinstated in service and required credentials and access to be able to use the resources of the Alliance to which the space program had access.

  —We will have to wait, so sit down.

  Only a few seconds passed when the door opened and the General left his office. Scott, Jack, and Sarah immediately stood up as the General motioned for them to rest.

  —Pack up and get dressed, we're leaving in twenty minutes. It must be hot this time at Thalos Dos so wear a light bodyguard outfit.

  The General walked towards his cabin with a military cadence in his walk.

  —I guess now we're going to Thalos Dos with the General. —Jack thought he had been tricked —Scott you are always full of surprises, I missed these days.

  Jack and Sarah went to the fleet hangar to wait for the General while Scott watched the General walk away.

  In the hangar, a technical cadet approached them to put them on the ship's flight manifest and give them security credentials and accesses. The tablet made a biometric reading of their faces and that was it. They got on the ship and waited for the General.

  Once General Miller entered, they waited to listen to the report and the instructions of the mission as was customary, since the highest-ranking personnel has to give the report in each mission.

  —Firm soldiers. Scott please update the team on the situation. —Said the General, giving up the use of his voice to Scott to communicate the plan, since not even the General knew what would happen when they got there. He only knew that he had to take them to Thalos Dos, and that was what he was doing.

  —Everyone knows what mission Charlie has entrusted to us, but for this, we must consult multiple scenarios that neither I, nor you, nor the Alliance can conce
ive of. We will go to Thalos Dos on a diplomatic mission as companions of the General to see his wife Narahn.

  —We appear in the report as a diplomatic security corps. —Expressed the General. —And that's all we'll do, at least officially. We will be your security body. Our true mission is to obtain the Orb.

  The Orb is a technological device the size of a basketball, designed by different advanced races that contain artificial intelligence. This artificial intelligence has been fueled by intelligences of multiple ancient races and memories of thousands of planetary intelligences. The Alexandria library would be a grain of sand by comparison.

  It has the ability to create very realistic simulations of the effects that follow causes. It is contained because it can evolve beyond the planes of this reality and could combine events from other multiverse realities and break the fabric of realities by mixing everything and making chaos while experiencing itself as a living consciousness. Its beauty is its curse. The Orb is so powerful at creating scenarios but it is also dangerous if it falls in the wrong hands.

  It works like a crystal ball, it is limited to exist within itself, but with the ability to project telepathically. It is so powerful that it simply shouldn't exist. But it cannot be destroyed either.

  The Alliance gave a universal report in which they were informed that Orb was guarded by the Council. Nothing and no one would question that action in the entire universe, nor would it attempt to take it away from them.

  —The Orb is guarded by the council. The Alliance does not have access to it. —Sarah said.

  —The Orb is in Thalos Dos, the Council asked the Alliance to hide on a planet that was guarded and neutral to other races, so that it was hidden in broad light. The Council did not want access to it, and Charlie was asked to hide it. Only he and I know where it is, of course, and now you.

  —And why didn't Charlie go for the Orb? —Jack said confused and thinking that they had made a mess of something that was very easy to do. There was no need to have brought Sarah and Scott from Earth if Charlie knew where the Orb was from the beginning.
