Airborne Virus

Over a billion years old, the blue planet known as Earth has been home to numerous life forms, both on and beneath its surface. However, during the mid-twentieth and twenty-first centuries of the human calendar, a catastrophic airborne outbreak began to emerge, threatening all life on Earth. This outbreak resulted in the deaths of over two-thirds of the planet’s population, including nearly all animals, leaving very few survivors. Those remaining are in constant danger, struggling to survive in a world once known for its beauty.

In the distant future, a group of galaxy scientists is investigating a planetary virus that bears a striking resemblance to the one that decimated life on Earth. Among them is a young, intelligent humanoid scientist named Tim, who assists an alien Master Koka, the head of the team specializing in galaxy viruses.

One day, in their highly secure virus lab, Master Koka approaches Tim and communicates with him telepathically. ”Tim, what are you working on right now? We have been called to a special council meeting, and if your current task isn’t urgent, we can have another colleague take over. Are you ready?”

Tim looks up at Master Koka with confusion and responds telepathically, ”Master Koka, is this meeting urgent? It’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

With a smile, Master Koka replies telepathically, ”Yes, we must go immediately. The council is waiting for us.”

Tim puts down his work, asks a colleague to take over, and follows Master Koka to the council meeting. Upon entering the council chamber, they find nine Galaxy Council Members seated in high chairs, illuminated by a bright light overhead. Master Koka and Tim take their positions in the center of the chamber, facing the council.

They stand quietly and patiently as one of the top council members telepathically addresses them. ”Welcome, Master Koka and your assistant Tim. Let’s begin the meeting. Council Member One will explain why we called you here today.”

Council Member One, seated in the bottom row, looks at Master Koka and Tim and says telepathically, ”Thank you for coming on such short notice. This matter is of utmost urgency and pertains to your research on the galaxy virus. The council of nine has tasked you with investigating a new outbreak in another galaxy that is nearly identical to the virus you are studying in your lab.”

Both Master Koka and Tim are taken aback by Council Member One’s alarming revelation about the virus spreading through another galaxy, killing all life forms it encounters. The entire galaxy is now under strict quarantine, with interstellar battleships surrounding it and an advanced weapon system deployed to neutralize the airborne virus that threatens everything in its vicinity.

In this alien world, Tim and all other aliens communicate through telepathy, and Tim looks at Council Member One, then says, ”Council One, do the council members have evidence that the recent virus outbreak is most identical to Earth’s airborne virus?”

Galaxy Council Member Eight looks at Tim and said, ”No, not one hundred percent, but we can be certain only ninety-five percent of the recent outbreak is identical to the Earth’s airborne virus, and this is why we have summoned both of you to be here to tackle this new virus.”

Tim turns, looking at Master Koka, and telepathically says, ”How is this virus out of our lab? This is not possible, and it is almost identical to our lab-tested virus antidote. This is not possible, unless there is a dark side history from the origin of Earth’s airborne virus that we have missed.”

Master Koka looks at his assistant Tim, smiles, and telepathically says, ”Right, I guess that is why we are here, and let the council tell us the next step. I am guessing, or now I know, that we have decided you will be taking the lead on this assignment. Hihi...”

Tim is looking at his Master Koka with his eyes wide open, slowly turning to face the nine Galaxy Council Members who are watching him. Tim smiled and said, ”Right, I guess all council members heard what I talked to my Master Koka. Correct? Hihi...”

Galaxy Council Member Two looks at Tim and said, ”Assistant Tim, you know that we are all communicating through telepathy, and that includes you. Yes, we all heard what you said to your Master Koka, and our scientist is waiting for you to come on board. When you come on board your science interstellar spaceship, you will have full instructions to carry out your tasks. Any questions? Assistant Tim, or I should say Commander Tim.”

Tim looks at all nine Galaxy Council Members, slowly turns, looking at his Master Koka, and Master Koka smiles, then says, ”All right, Tim. Let’s go. I will brief you with additional details for your trip, and don’t worry. We have everything for you, and you will be perfectly fine if you follow our instructions precisely. Hihi...”

All nine Galaxy Council members telepathically wished Commander Tim good luck and indicated that they were waiting to review his report. Master Koka, smiling, placed a hand on Tim’s shoulder as they walked out of the Council Chamber. Outside, an escort team was ready to accompany Tim to his interstellar spaceship. On their way, Master Koka shared information about the virus and records, along with recommendations on when and where in the timeline to visit the origin of the airborne virus that occurred on the blue planet, Earth.

As they walked down the hallway lined with windows looking out into space, Tim spotted a massive, beautiful silver interstellar spaceship docked nearby. He turned to Master Koka and asked, ”Is that my interstellar spaceship? It’s huge! How many people are on board with me, Master Koka?”

Master Koka smiled and replied, ”Yes, that large interstellar spaceship is yours, along with your one crew member. She will be your assistant during this journey. You will meet her once you’re on board. But first, you need to confirm your position as commander of your ship. Follow me for your confirmation.”

Tim was slightly puzzled as he walked alongside Master Koka, glancing at the impressive spaceship. Arriving at a set of doors guarded by a group of aliens, Tim and Master Koka approached. One of the alien guards telepathically asked, ”Commander Tim, are you ready to come on board? We’re expecting you, and your interstellar spaceship is prepared to receive you.”

Tim looked at the alien guard and responded telepathically, ”Yes, I’m ready. What’s behind this door? Is it the pathway to my interstellar spaceship? Why can’t I see the connection to the ship?”

Master Koka smiled and said, ”You’ll find out soon enough, but please give me a moment for my delivery. I need to provide you with detailed information about the current situation on the blue planet, Earth. Ah, here comes my delivery.”

Two lab assistants from Master Koka approached and handed him a thumb-sized, color-changing rainbow crystal. Master Koka gave the crystal to Tim and said, ”This crystal contains all the details about the situation on Earth when you arrive. Take a look at it and assess the situation when you get there. Remember to take care of yourself and keep your assistant updated constantly. Only your assistant can assist you on this journey. Understood, Tim?”

Tim looked at Master Koka, slowly accepted the crystal, and after examining it for a few seconds, placed it in his pocket. The alien guard walked up to the door’s panel and pressed the buttons, causing the doors to open. Tim glanced back at everyone, and the alien guard instructed him to walk inside to receive his confirmation. As Tim turned to enter, everyone outside telepathically wished him, ”Good luck and be safe.”

Upon entering the room, a central light illuminated, and a circular platform slowly rose from the floor. A pleasant voice instructed Tim to step onto the circle and stand in the middle of it. Tim obeyed, standing in the center as a crystal table began to descend from the ceiling, landing right in front of him.

The table featured a rectangle that flashed with colors and had two hand-shaped openings glowing inside. The pleasant voice directed Tim to place his hands inside the openings to receive his confirmation. Tim hesitated for a moment, then put his hands into the slots. As his hands entered, brilliant lights flashed from the openings, and he sensed something forming around his wrists. Notably, there was a peculiar covering around the middle finger of his left hand.

When the lights are stopped, a pleasant voice tells Tim to take his hands out of the rectangle, and once Tim takes his hands out of the rectangle. The rectangle immediately flew up into the ceiling and disappeared. Tim looks at his hands and sees his two wrists with two bright, shining silver bracelets with rainbow crystals in the middle of the bracelets’ rails. On Tim’s left hand, the middle finger is adorned with a bright silver ring featuring tiny, bright rainbow-colored crystals.

Tim looks at his silver ring and his silver bracelets, and then the pleasant voice tells Tim to get ready, come on board his interstellar spaceship. Immediately, the bright light beaming down from the roof was so bright that Tim had to close his eyes. Tim is feeling tingling all over his body, and then a pleasant voice told him to open his eyes with a very warm welcome on board the interstellar spaceship.

Tim slowly opened his eyes and saw him standing on the platform in a different location than the place where he had just been standing on the circular platform in the room earlier. Tim looked around and asked, ”Where am I? Why am I here, and who is talking to me? If I am on my interstellar spaceship, where is my crew? Am I supposed to get one crew member? Correct?”

A pleasant voice replied to Tim, ”Yes, I am your crew, and I am at your service. You are Commander Tim, and this interstellar spaceship is your ship. I have a mission to assist you in any way to complete your mission, and are we ready to start the mission? Commander Tim?”

Tim looks around, slowly walking off the platform, and walks to the standing panel to view the screen displaying the status of the interstellar spaceship. The pleasant voice said to Tim, ”Commander Tim, shall we start the mission? I am waiting for your command.”

Tim looks at the screen on the panel, then says, ”Right, sure. Execute the mission, and call my crew to see me.”

The pleasant voice replied to Tim, ”We are now in the dimension space, and I am your crew as requested.”

Tim slowly looked at the surroundings and asked, ”What? Where are you? I want you to see me, and you are just replying on the intercom. Where are you? If you are my one crew, then I want to see you. Yes? Are you busy?”

The pleasant voice replied to Tim, ”I am here with you, Commander Tim. I am talking to you.”

Tim looks at the surroundings, then realizes this must be the automation of his interstellar spaceship, and he shakes his head, putting his hand on his head. The pleasant voice asked Tim, ”Commander Tim, are you all right? You don’t feel well? We are passing smoothly inside the dimension space, and I assure you, this interstellar spaceship has zero turbulence. You not feeling well? My scan is telling you your vital signs are normal and in perfect condition.”

Tim looks around and looks at the exit door, then slowly walks toward the doors and walks out of the teleportation room. Tim stood outside looking at both sides of the long hallways, then Tim asked, ”All right, I think I get it now. Can you tell me which way is taking me to the command center, and do you know my name? I suppose you must have a name, as I’m part of your crew, so I can communicate with you. Right? So, tell me what your name is or what your call sign is so I can call you.”

The pleasant voice said to Tim, ”I don’t have a name or call sign. I only know that when the creators of this interstellar spaceship were talking during my creation, they kept calling AI, and that’s all I can tell.”

Tim looked at his bracelets and his ring, then said, ”All right, I will call you AI, and can you tell me which way will take me to the commander center?”

The AI immediately guides Tim to go to the commander center, and that is the interstellar spaceship’s bridge. When Tim arrived on the interstellar spaceship’s bridge, he sat in the commander’s chair and reviewed his mission that lay out in the system. Tim immediately takes out his crystal, handed to him by his Master Koka, and starts reviewing the contents. Master Koka told Tim to be very careful when walking on the blue planet Earth, because the airborne virus can easily attack any living being.

While Tim is sitting in his commander’s seat in his interstellar spaceship’s bridge, the huge screen starts to pop up, displaying the blue planet Earth in the middle of the screen. Tim looked at the screen and saw the light blue planet Earth. Then, Tim asked, ”What is that light blue planet on the screen? Where are we?”

Tim’s interstellar spaceship AI replied to Tim, ”Commander Tim, the planet on the screen is your destination, and our mission is to gather all the airborne virus information on the planet to report back to the council.”

Tim looks at the screen, watching the light blue planet, and asks AI, ”What? I thought the planet we go to is very blue, and what I am seeing in front of me is a very light blue planet. This light blue planet is becoming a non-blue planet. Can you do a scan on this planet? Is the right planet we are going to?”

The interstellar spaceship AI immediately replied to Tim, ”Yes, I am certain this is our destination, the blue planet in the record, and it’s not blue but the light blue because it’s becoming a dead planet. That’s why Commander Tim saw a light blue planet instead of a dark blue planet, as in the record. I am updating our record to reflect this light blue planet in our record right now, as we see it.”

Tim looks at the screen, shaking his head, then says to AI, ”Do a quick scan and tell me what the living number on this planet is, and give me the total of all living lifeforms on this planet as of right now.”

AI quickly replied to Tim, ”Commander Tim, at present, the total of lifeforms on this planet is still well under a million, and this planet has nine hundred and ninety-five currently living lifeforms on it, but there are one hundred eighty to ninety-five lifeforms that are fading. If you want the exact number, then I have to monitor all lifeforms and give an update each time a status from living to dead-living.”

Tim stopped and sat very quietly watching the screen of the light blue planet, then asked, ”Do you know how many lifeforms are on this planet?”

The AI immediately replied to Tim, but Tim told the AI to give him a big number in general. The AI said to Tim, ”The unliving lifeforms on this planet are over ten billion.”

Immediately, Tim said, ”What??? Ten billion unliving lifeforms on this planet? How is that possible?”

The AI said to Tim, ”The unliving lifeforms are multiplying very fast in seconds, and the living are multiplying in months, with a large number of living lifeforms turning into unliving.”

Tim said to AI, ”All right, take me down to the planet, and show me what is on the ground. Full scan for any living lifeforms and unliving lifeforms. I want to know what I am dealing with in the current situation before I set foot on the ground of this planet. Have all my equipment ready for me.”

The AI replied to Tim, ”Approaching the planet, and all your equipment is ready in the ready room with full arm defensive tactic tools.”

Tim is going to the ready room, AI updating the general history of the light blue planet Earth, and said, ”Commander Tim, examine the environment of the planet, and the result indicates the planet is in the middle of the twenty-seventh century of the time-frame according to the human inhabitant calendar on the planet they called Earth. I detected that a few huge record structures have been buried underground, and you may perhaps find the history of the planet in those ruins of the underground structures. I have compiled all the detailed information for you.”

Tim arrived and walked into the ready room. Inside the ready room, there are bright white silver arm suits displayed, hovering covered by the force-field. The force field immediately disappeared, the arm suit had a beaming light shining down, and on the ground, a light circle appeared, receiving the shining beam from the ceiling. AI said to Tim, ”Commander Tim, please step into the circle and stand next to the armor suit. I will suit you and prepare you for landing on the ground of this planet. By the way, we are entering the atmosphere and flying toward the activities on the ground by the mountain.”

Tim walks up to the silver armor suit, standing next to it, and then immediately the bright light shines on Tim and the silver armor suit. The bright white light covered both Tim and the silver armor suit, and as the bright light slowly dimmed, Tim was now wearing the silver armor suit, standing on the circular platform. Tim looks at himself, seeing that he is wearing the silver armor suit, and feeling like nothing because there is no sign of weight or material touching his body.

Tim looked at his armor suit and asked the AI, ”How come I can see that I’m wearing the armor suit, but I don’t feel anything—it’s almost as if I’m not wearing it? It’s so strange. What material is this armor suit made of that makes me feel this way?”

The AI responded, ”This armor suit is constructed from a special material that embeds all the necessary functions to protect the commander wearing it. This armor suit also signifies that I am accompanying the commander on the mission. You can communicate with me at all times, either through the helmet or via secondary communication embedded in the armor suit when you have the helmet off.”

Tim looked around, then said to the AI, ”You mentioned the armor helmet, but I don’t see one here.”

The AI replied, ”Commander Tim, look up and get ready to receive the armor helmet.”

Tim looked up and saw the silver armor helmet descending from the ceiling, hovering right in front of his face. He reached out, grasped the silver helmet with his hands, and slowly placed it on his head. Once the helmet was secured on his head, Tim saw a display of all the functions inside the helmet, including the full status of its modes.

The AI then informed, ”Commander Tim, we are arriving at the designated coordinates. On the ground, there are activities involving non-living life forms chasing living life forms. It appears ten survivors are trying to escape into the forest, with an estimated distance of under ten kilometers to the lake. If these living life forms reach the lake, their chances of survival will be zero, as they will be at the mercy of the creatures on the ground and in the lake.”

Tim said to the AI, ”Show me the status of these ten living life forms on the ground.”

The AI quickly displayed the image of the ten living life forms running on the ground inside Tim’s helmet screen. He watched them flee from the unliving creatures, noticing a few were injured, including two little girls among the group. Tim instructed the AI, ”All right, take me down to a location two kilometers ahead of the living life forms. Find a spot where I can observe both the survivors and the unliving creatures chasing them.”

The AI responded, ”Commander Tim, according to our protocol, we cannot interfere with the events occurring on this planet. We must allow them to run their course.”

Tim countered, ”Calculate all possible outcomes of the timelines if I intervene. If there’s a higher than nine percent chance of changing the timeline, let me know. If it’s under nine percent, we should be all right for now. Input this into the mission protocol.”

The AI replied, ”Confirmed. The new adjustment to the protocol has been input, and I am ready to take you down to the ground.”

Tim said, ”Once you find a suitable location, execute the plan and take me down.”

The AI immediately shone a bright white light onto Tim, and as the light enveloped him, he vanished.

On the ground, the ten living life forms were running at high speed, some injured, and two little girls were being surrounded by four adults. As they ran, the group heard screams from the unliving creatures approaching from their right.

The two men leading the group quickly signaled for everyone to stop. As they halted, the screams from the right grew louder, emanating from the unliving. The front two men signaled the group to turn and run quickly to their left. The ten living life forms ran toward the mountains.

Suddenly, one of the women in the group fell to the ground and started shaking violently. A man and another woman, noticing her distress, rushed to check on her, but the woman on the ground suddenly attacked them. The others watched in horror as they shouted, ”She turned! She turned! Run! Kill her! Kill her!”

The group began to flee, surrounding the woman who had become one of the unliving and attempting to subdue her. In the chaos, the woman was screaming and attacking. Other unliving creatures quickly joined in, rushing towards her and adding to the chaos with their screams. One of the men, armed with a long knife, charged at the transformed woman, managing to decapitate her. Her head flew off, rolling on the ground while continuing to scream, drawing the attention of other unliving beings toward the group.

The men shout for the remaining group members to run quickly, and they all start to flee from the headless woman. The group decreases to nine as they scatter in all directions toward the mountain. Two women run with two little girls directly toward the mountain, but one of the little girls suddenly stops to catch her breath.

One of the women, holding the little girl’s hand, urges, “Run! We must go! Let’s go!”

The little girl shakes free from the woman’s grip and kneels on the ground, trying to catch her breath. The others turn back, telling her to stand up and run, but she struggles to regain her breath. One of the women says, “She needs to catch her breath! Can’t you see she’s exhausted?”

The screams of the unliving grow louder from behind, closing in on them. The two women look at each other, then grab the little girl and carry her toward some bushes, heading in the direction of the mountain. They hide together in the thick bushes, covering their mouths to stay silent.

From a distance, Tim watches the small group of two women and two little girls hiding in the bushes through his armor’s helmet screen. He sees the two large groups of unliving creatures approaching their position, following the sounds of the chase.

Another group of three people, the two men and one woman, is running and fighting off the unliving that are pursuing them. As they reach the bushes where the two women and the little girls are hiding, the two women and the little girls notice their three companions being surrounded by the unliving. One of the little girls wants to call out, but the woman quickly pulls her back and covers her mouth.

The two men and the woman stand back-to-back, facing the surrounding unliving beings as they begin to attack. The unliving creatures use their hands and mouths to bite the men. The woman fights back, brandishing a long knife to stab the unliving creatures in their necks. Tim, flying silently above the treetops, observes the battle below. He notices that one unliving creature appears to be a leader, signaling for others to attack the group of three.

The living woman fights off three unliving beings, but the leader signals for a sneak attack. The woman finds herself caught when an unliving being grabs her arm and bites into her flesh. In a desperate move, she uses her knife to chop off her own arm, then swings the knife at the creature’s neck, decapitating it. The headless, unliving body falls to the ground but lies there, still screaming and writhing.

One of the two men, however, is overpowered by four unliving beings that jump on him. He falls to the ground as they begin to bite into his flesh and neck. The one-armed woman is standing back to back with the last man standing, and the one-armed woman is bleeding a lot of her blood out of her cut arm. The woman’s face is turning pale, and the man standing next to her saw that her blood was pouring out from her cut arm on the ground, then said, ”I don’t think we’re going to make it out of this situation. Oh well, I guess today is a good day to end our miserable lives. Right? My warrior?”

The one-armed woman smiled and said, ”Right, no better than this moment to die in the battle of these dead creatures. I will take many of these unliving creatures with me. I hope others can make it out of this situation.”

The man smiled, and looking at the leader of the unliving creatures, then said to the one-armed woman, ”Did you see that over there? I think that the unliving female creature is the leader of this group. That ugly, unliving female creature is doing the hand signals to others attacking us. Sorry, for me to say female, but that ugly creature looks like a female. Am I right?”

The one-armed woman did a glance at the ugly, unliving creature, female, then said, ”Right, no offense taken. That is surely an ugly, unliving creature, and it likes all of them. Ugly, unliving creatures.”

The man told the one-armed woman to get ready and start killing many of the living creatures to try to steal for others to have time to escape. In the meantime, Tim is hovering above to see everything, and Tim said to AI, ”I see these two living fighter life forms are very brave. They want to use their last breath to take out these unliving life forms for others in their group to escape this place. I think we should intervene to help them. Besides, I do want to take a sample of the leader of this group, living life forms. Give me the timeline effect percentage.”

The AI said to Tim, ”There is a one percent effect on the timeline in this situation if you save this living life forms group below six.”

The leader of the unliving creatures below is signaling to get all the unliving to come and get ready to attack the two living people, a man and a one-armed woman, below. When all the unliving creatures are screaming, then all other unliving creatures close by hear the screaming creatures calling. Immediately start running toward the calling of the unliving creature. The group of four, two women and two little girls, is covering their ears, and one of the two little girls is making noises with her mouth. Then, immediately, the woman with the little girl quickly covered the little girl’s mouth from making sounds.

All the unliving creatures close by ran toward the man and the one-armed woman. Tim, hovering above, sees everything and starts using his armor suit to make the lightning aim at all the unliving creatures. Tim said to AI, ”Prepare for the lightning attack on the unliving creatures, and only execute a deadly stunning to the leader of the unliving creature, so I can capture it to examine the unliving condition. I will take an example for further research on the unliving leader.”

AI replied to Tim, ”All set, lightning storm is generated, and ready standing by your command.”

The cloud is starting to sound like thunder, the sky is getting dark very fast within nine seconds, and lightning is striking above in the sky. Tim’s armor suit started glowing, coordinating with the lightning in the dark sky, and on the ground, everyone, the living and the unliving, heard the sounds of the lightning in the sky, then looked up. When everyone on the ground looked up into the sky, they saw a dark sky, lightning strikes, and Tim in his armor suit hovering above in bright white light, flashing with the lightning strikes in the sky.

The one-armed woman and the man looking up saw Tim in his white armor suit hovering; they were in disbelief at what they saw, and that went the same as all the unliving creatures. Especially, the leader of the unliving creatures looks up at Tim, hovering in the sky in his bright white armor suit, then Tim raises his hand to command the lightning strikes down, hitting precisely the spot directly on all the unliving creatures.

When the unliving creatures get hit by the lightning strikes, their entire body gets flashed with the bright white light of lightning strikes, then vanish into thin air like they’re gone with the wind. The man standing with the one-armed woman saw what just happened, and said slowly out loud, ”Oh!!! My!!! God!!!”

The one-armed woman looks at Tim hovering in the sky and says, ”Oh... My!!!”

The little girls and two women in the big bushes looking up at the dark sky saw Tim in a bright white light armor suit, one of the little girls said, ”Angel!!! Angel!!”

The last standing leader of the unliving creature turns looking at the big bushes, the man and one-armed woman turn looking at the big bushes, then the man said, ”Who’s there???”

The two women and the little girls quickly stand up and move toward the man with one arm. The last standing unliving creature looks at the little girls and others, signaling by pointing at them. One of the two women with the little girls quickly tears her cloth to quickly cut the arm of a woman standing with the man. The leader of the unliving creature looks at the little girls and others, then, smiling at them, starts moving close to them.

The man said, ”Everyone, stay behind me. I will take care of this ugly creature.”

One of the women with the two little girls said to the man, ”Are you sure? This ugly creature is the leader and sure seems very strong. Are you sure?”

The man standing in front of the group, looking at the last standing leader of the unliving creature, smiling, shaking his head, and said, ”I sure can try. All of you stand behind me. When I fight, all of you start to run away from her as fast as you can. All right? Got that?”

The last standing leader of the unliving creature starts raising both arms out, and the spiking thorns start coming out of the skin. When the leader of the unliving creature just about starts attacking the man, Tim, hovering above, uses the lightning, striking down directly on the leader of the creatures, and the lightning beam strikes down from the sky, hitting the leader of the unliving creature, making the leader of the unliving creature scream out so loud.

The lightning strike mixed with bright light energy beaming directly on the leader of the unliving creature, captured, still standing in one place. The lightning and energy forces are so strong on the ground that they make the man call everyone to step back away from the leader of the unliving creature. Tim slowly descends from the sky, standing next to the leader of the unliving creatures, seeing the leader of the unliving creatures screaming, and turns to look at him.

Everyone is looking at Tim, and one of the two little girls said, ”Angel, it’s an Angel who comes to save us. Angel!!!”

Tim looks at the leader of the unliving creature, and the unliving creature stares at Tim. Then, Tim puts his hand through the lightning beam, straight on the leader of the unliving creature’s head, to start extracting the soul’s memory. After thirty seconds have passed, the soul’s memory extraction is completed, and Tim takes a few steps back away from the leader of the unliving creature.

Tim raised his hand and did a one snap of his fingers, then immediately, the huge lightning struck down directly onto the leader of the unliving creature, and the unliving creature started to vanish into nothing. The lightning stopped immediately after the leader of the unliving creature disappeared. Tim turns, looking at the living group, and the man in the group looks at Tim with a defensive posture.

AI said to Tim, ”There is a small group of unliving moving toward this direction. Estimate the arrival of this small group of unliving beings in less than ten minutes of local time calculation. Would you like to know the exact timing?”

Tim said, ”Display on the inner screen for me to see.”

Tim sees a small group of five unliving life forms running toward his location, then Tim turns, looking at the little girl who called Tim an Angel, but Tim did not understand what the little girl and others were talking about. Tim said to the AI, ”What type of communication are these living life forms using? I cannot understand them, and I am sure they cannot understand me. Can you assist me in communicating with these living life forms?”

AI said to Tim, ”I can assist in communicating with this group of living life forms when I scan their brain. After I scan their brain, I can communicate with them for you. Commander Tim.”

Tim said to AI, ”We don’t have time, let me try signaling to them.”

Tim immediately looked at the little girl and tried using his hand signaling to tell the little girl that something like the unliving is coming this way, and all of us must get out of this place fast. Everyone is looking confused, but then the little girl saw Tim signaling to her to come closer to him to talk. Since Tim is using his hands, pointing at his mouth and the little girl’s mouth, signaling that he is talking.

The little girl, short of understanding hand signals from Tim, was slowly moving toward Tim, but a woman standing close to the little girl immediately grabbed the little girl and held her back. The little girl told the woman not to worry and let her come close to Tim. Everyone is looking at Tim, then the man said, ”I think this entity is not harming us. If this entity wants to harm us, then I am sure we are all dead already. Right?”

The woman slowly let go of the little girl’s arm, then the little girl smiled and slowly walked toward Tim. Tim slowly lowered his body to the same level as the little girl, and slowly signaled that he was going to move his right hand to put on the little girl’s forehead. The little girl looks at Tim with her cute smile, then nods her head at Tim. Tim very slowly moved his right hand with one of his fingers toward the little girl’s forehead, and then touched the little girl’s forehead.

After Tim touched the little girl’s forehead, he slowly stood straight up and started communicating with the little girl through his telepathy. Tim said through his telepathy to the little girl, ”We must get out of this place immediately. I am picking up a small group of the unliving creatures, like those that came earlier, who are coming this way. I can lead the way out.”

The little girl is very surprised to hear Tim’s voice in her head and understands perfectly what Tim just told her. The little girl immediately turned around and told everyone to follow Tim to get out of the place quickly because a small group of the unliving was coming. The man and the woman are looking at the little girl, trying to ask her, but Tim raises his hand toward the little girl to take his hand and get out of this place.

The little girl smiled and grabbed Tim’s hand, walking with Him, and all the others quickly ran after the little girl and Tim. Tim is leading the way according to his map on the screen in his armor’s helmet, and the little girl holding Tim’s hand, with Tim telling the group about how she knows what Tim told her through telepathy.

Everyone is surprised, but they are all holding their thoughts of questions for Tim, and running after Him to get out of the place. The small group of the unliving life forms ran to the place where the battle had taken place before with the group, and did not see anything. The unliving life forms started sniffing around the place, detecting the smell of the humans. The small group of the unliving creatures started running, chasing in the same direction as Tim, leading the little girls with her group to get out of the place.

Tim and the group with the little girl were walking very fast, and then the AI said to Tim, ”Commander Tim, there is a small group of unliving creatures closing in, and I believe they are tracking by their senses heading your direction.”

Tim immediately stopped walking, turned around, and looked at the small group of unliving creatures trailing behind. The little girl and others stopped turning, looking at Tim, and the little girl holding Tim’s hand said, ”What’s wrong? Something wrong?”

Tim telepathically said to the little girl holding his hand, ”You and the other quickly continue moving on out of this location. I will catch up when I burn down his area. Quickly, there is a small group of unliving creatures moving in this direction. Hurry!!”

Tim turns, looking at the man standing, and hands the little girl’s hand over to him. Then the man asks, ”What’s wrong?”

The little girl told everyone what Tim just told her, then the man quickly grabbed the little girl’s hand, started to run, and pulled the little girl. Everyone started running, and the little girl was worried about Tim, but the man told the little girl and everyone not to worry about the savior. Tim stood and raised his hand to start the fires around the area, and the fire started, burning all the paths that led toward him.

Tim’s hand glowed and zapped all the white energy out toward the surroundings, burning all into rising fires. Tim, watching his screen, saw the small group of unliving closing in, then Tim slowly flew up into the sky, and looking down, he saw the fire below and saw the small group of unliving creatures running toward the fire. The small group of unliving creatures is stuck at the fire and cannot continue past it.

Tim slowly turned around, flying toward the little girl group running way ahead, and Tim followed them from the sky, looking down at them. The one-armed woman running falls on the ground. Everyone is running to her and checking to see her face; her blood is still coming out from her cut arm. One of the women said, ”No... No... I did tighten her wound from the blood coming out, but it’s not a fix. Only temporary to buy her some time to get our medical room. I don’t think she can make it back, and she has lost a lot of her blood.”

The one-armed woman is very weak, looking at everyone from lying on the ground, and said, ”Leave me. I’m only pulling you all back, and it’s very dangerous for all of you to be out here. Go... Leave me here, and go save all of you. I cannot make it back to our place. You all can, so, go... Go...”

Tim is looking down from the sky, and the little girl is looking around for Tim, but does not see Him anywhere. Then the second little girl says to the first little girl, ”What are you looking for?”

The little girl who held Tim’s hand earlier said, ”I was looking for our savior, our Angel. He can save Anny.”

The man asked the little girl, ”How do you know the entity is a he? Did that entity tell you? Is that entity an alien or a person like us?"

The little girl looked at everyone and replied, ”I don’t know. All I know is that the voice in my head, when I communicate with our savior, sounds like a man, and that’s how I know it’s a he."

Tim understood the little girl’s communication with the others. He slowly descended toward her, and everyone watched as he floated down from the sky. The little girl, who had been with Tim earlier, ran to him, grasped his hand, and pleaded, ”Please save her. Save our Anny! She is losing a lot of blood and is about to die. Please... save her."

Tim approached the one-armed woman, looked at her injured arm, and gently lifted it using his right hand. His suit beamed a white light onto her wound. Gradually, the cut on the woman’s arm began to heal, and the bleeding stopped. Once her wound was healed, Tim took out a small pill from his suit pocket and placed it in the one-armed woman’s mouth. As soon as she swallowed the pill, her eyes opened wide, and she exclaimed, ”What happened? Am I still alive? Why are all of you still here? Didn’t I tell you to leave?"

Tim stepped back a few paces. The little girl quickly hugged the one-armed woman and told her, ”Tim saved you and healed your arm!" The one-armed woman stood up, walked toward Tim, and bowed in gratitude. The little girl communicated with Tim telepathically, saying, ”Thank you so much for saving our Anny. Are we safe now? Are those unliving creatures still after us?"

Tim looked at the little girl and replied telepathically, ”No, we must leave this place quickly. More unliving creatures are coming here. We need to go now."

The man approached Tim and urged him to follow him and the others. After hearing the little girl pleading with Tim to go with her and others, Tim agreed to go with her to their home. Along the way, the little girl acted as the spokesperson for the group, asking Tim various questions, particularly about where he came from and how many like him existed. Tim answered a few questions, explaining why he was on this planet and that he was not originally from Earth, the light blue planet.

The little girl held Tim’s hand as they walked alongside a one-armed woman. When they arrived at the group’s home, they found it guarded by a troop of humans. The entrance gate was tightly secured, with many guards positioned on both sides of the locked gates.

A guard in the gate tower spotted the group approaching and sounded the alarm. The guards on the ground rushed to the entrance, ready to confront the incoming group, including Tim. The AI warned Tim, ”Commander Tim, alert! There is a large group of humans at the entrance, preparing to attack us. I’m displaying the tactical positions of the guards near the gate tower.”

Tim saw the information on his helmet’s screen and replied to the AI, ”I see it. Keep me updated on their movements, and we’ll respond according to the situation."

The AI provided real-time updates on the guards’ movements as Tim held the little girl’s hand firmly. When the group was about twenty steps away from the entrance, the leader of the gate’s guards ordered them to stop. The group halted, and one man addressed the guard leader, ”We are residents here. We returned with this group and got separated. Please, you recognize us, right?"

The guard leader replied, ”I see you and the others, but I don’t recognize the person in the white suit. Who is he? Identify him. I know he is not one of us. Don’t move, or we will kill you all."

The little girl, still holding Tim’s hand, shouted, ”He is with us! He saved us from the unliving creatures. He is one of us!"

From atop the entrance gate, several leaders of the human camp looked down at the group, paying close attention to Tim in the white suit. The female leader standing atop the gate shouted, ”Who is the person in the white suit? You must identify yourself and explain why you are coming with my people!”

The group turned to Tim through the little girl, and the one-armed woman instructed her to explain the current situation. Tim assured the little girl that he understood. He then told her that they all should go into the camp and that he would turn around and walk away. Immediately, the little girl grabbed Tim’s arm tightly and told him not to leave her.

Hearing her plea, the entire group moved forward, shouting to the female camp leader about Tim. After the group explained the situation and shared their story with the female leader, she came down with her elite guards and said, ”I have listened to all your stories. Now, I want each of you to walk toward me one by one for a health exam, or you can choose to stay outside. The silver guest with the little girl will stay since she can communicate with him. Am I right?”

The group turned to the little girl, who said, ”I will stay with our guest, and I will be fine. I am the only one who can communicate with him anyway. Please go ahead, and we will join you later.”

As the group walked up to Tim, they thanked him and waved goodbye before entering the camp to meet the medical team standing by for health checks to ensure they were not infected by the virus.

The female leader, along with her elite guards, faced the little girl holding Tim’s hand. She looked closely at Tim, who was in a full silver armor suit, unaware that his armor had the power to destroy everything in seconds from the sky.

Standing still and holding the little girl’s hand, Tim watched as the female leader approached. She looked at Tim and said, ”Tell me, where are you from, and how did you get here? Answer a few questions, and then I will decide if you can enter our camp. All right?”

The little girl turned to Tim and repeated the female leader’s question. Tim replied telepathically, ”Sure, you can tell her that I came from outer space and that I am here to collect samples of the virus affecting this planet. By the way, may I know your name or call sign, little girl? You can call me Tim; my colleagues refer to me as Tim.”

The little girl smiled and said, ”I am Natalsa. My friends and my family call me Natalsa. Tim, that sounds like a nice name.”

Natalsa then told the female leader that Tim came from outer space. When the female leader and her elite guards heard this, they felt a mix of fear and excitement. The female leader moved closer to Tim and, standing directly in front of him, said, ”So, Tim, that’s your name. I am Kala, and I am the leader of this camp. I protect my people, and we have killed many of the unliving creatures. I assume you know what unliving creatures are and how they became what they are. Am I correct, Tim?”

Tim looks at the female leader and says, ”I am here on an assignment, and I don’t want to be interrupted by anyone. Since I am here, I would like to see you and your people if your physical health can provide me with any clue about the virus. As you told me, the virus came from those who are the unliving creatures. I will walk away if you tell me so. Let me know if I am welcome here or not.”

The little girl, Natalsa, quickly said, ”No, Tim... You are welcome here with us. Please don’t go... Please stay with us.”

Immediately, the female leader turns, looking at the little girl, Natalsa, and quickly asks Natalsa, ”What’s going on? Why? Does Tim want to leave us?”

The little girl, Natalsa, explained to the female leader what Tim just told her, and his intention to come into the camp if the female leader does not let him come into the camp. The female leader immediately turned, looking at Tim, and said, ”No, please don’t go. Don’t misunderstand me, all I want to make sure nothing harm comes to my people under my protection. That’s all, I know you came from outer space, and you must have high technologies beyond us, normal humans on this planet. We want to be friends with you and to know you. To be frank, I do want your help and to be our guardian. Yes? If that’s all right with you about my request?”

The little girl, Natalsa, explains to Tim, and the medical team walks up to the female leader, who told her that all the people checked out. Except the little girl and the silver guest. The female leader tells the little girl, Natalsa, to go with the medical team to check her health status. The little girl, Natalsa, quickly grabbed Tim’s hand with both her hands and said, ”No, I am staying with Tim. He needs me to communicate with you all. I am staying here with Tim.”

Tim is standing still, looking at everyone, and the female leader, looking at Tim, then said, ”All right, Natalsa is staying with our guest, Tim. The medical team can check Natalsa’s standing here, and we all go into the camp after the medical team checks out Natalsa. All right? Everyone good?”

The medical team looked at the female leader, then the female leader nodded her head at the medical team. Two of the medical team walk up to the little girl, Natalsa, and starting to check the health status on the little girl, Natalsa. While the medical team is checking Natalsa’s health status, everyone else is standing, looking at Tim, and Tim is standing still, looking at everyone. Especially, Tim looks at the little girl, Natalsa, who is being checked by the medical team.

After the medical team checked out the little girl, Natalsa, and she is fine, the leader of the medical team said, ”Little girl is checked out. She is fine, and now. We need to check our guest. Please, take off your suit.”

Everyone is looking at Tim, and the little girl, Natalsa, tells Tim to take off his suit for the medical check. Tim looks at the medical team, turns, looking at the little girl, Natalsa, and telepathically says, ”I cannot take off my suit. I only take off and put on my suit in my ready room. I cannot comply with their request.”

The little girl, Natalsa, explained that the situation of the suit only takes off in the ready room, then the medical team leader said, ”If we cannot determine the health status of our guest, then we cannot allow our guest to enter our camp. Cannot...”

The female leader looks at Tim, and Tim is looking at the female leader. Tim and the female leader looked at each other for twenty seconds, then the female leader said, ”All right, if our guest cannot take off his suit, then I don’t see any major problem with his health status. Am I right? Medical team? Since our guest came from outer space, his original environment must be purer than our environment down here on this planet. Am I right? Medical team? Uhm...?”

The medical team’s leader looked at his medical team, then turned to look at the female leader, and said gently, ”I guess so, I think that what you just said, leader. We can let this time go with our special guest.”

The female leader smiled and said, ”Right!! That’s settled it, come, let’s go into our camp. Shall we? We have a special guest who needs us to attend. Let’s go, shall we? Tim? Our special guest, follow me, and little girl, Natalsa, can come alongside with our special guest, Tim. Natalsa is our special guest’s representative with all the communication to our special guest, Tim, through Natalsa.”

The female leader starts walking into the camp, signaling to Tim to come with her, and Tim walks with the little girl, Natalsa, holding his hand, walking into the camp. Inside the camp, all the people gathered around and stood watching the special guest, Tim, walking into the camp through the entrance, and the group with Tim, who had earlier been standing watching Tim holding the hand of the little girl, Natalsa, walking into the camp.

All the people standing inside the camp turn to look at Tim, wearing the silver armor suit, walking into the camp, and the people are talking about Him. When Tim entered the camp, standing with the female leader in the middle of the camp, the female leader introduced Tim to everyone as a special guest from outer space. Everyone is very surprised and has little hope that their lives would be better in the future, and after the female leader told everyone that only the little girl, Natalsa, can communicate with their special guest, Tim, through telepathy, which made everyone very curious about the little girl, Natalsa, having a special connection with the special guest, Tim.

Certainly, the sound of noises in the little girl, Natalsa’s stomach, Tim turns, looking at Natalsa’s stomach, then the female leader starts laughing, and said, ”All right, I guess our people just came back must be very hungry. Let’s show them the food table, and bring out food for them to eat. Let’s go, people. Let’s go...”

The group with Tim earlier quickly ran up to Tim and the little girl, Natalsa, and took them to the food table. The day is getting dark, the entrance gate is closed tight with many layers of security, and Tim is sitting at the table with the little girl, Natalsa, and the group he was with earlier. The food is brought out and put on the table, and everyone starts to pick up the food and enjoy the taste of the food.

Tim is sitting next to the little girl, Natalsa, and sees her eating the food, then Natalsa turns looking at Tim. Natalsa telepathically said to Tim, ”Tim, don’t you want to try to eat this food? It’s good, aren’t you hungry?”

Tim looks at the little girl, Natalsa, and telepathically says, ”Hungry? What’s hungry? Natalsa? I don’t know hungry.”

Everyone is looking at Tim, and the little girl, Natalsa, and then the one-armed woman tells Natalsa, ”Why don’t you ask Tim if he wants to eat any food on the table. If he eats, then he must take off his helmet.”

Everyone sitting nearby heard what the one-armed woman said to the little girl. Natalsa asked Tim to take off his helmet to eat. Everyone turned, looking at the table where Tim was sitting with the little girl, Natalsa. Tim looks at the little girl, Natalsa, and telepathically says, ”No, I am not hungry, and I don’t know what to eat like you. I cannot take off my suit, and I am fine. I don’t eat like you, and I am not making my stomach sound like you did earlier, Natalsa.”

Everyone is watching Natalsa and Tim, then the little girl laughs and tells everyone what Tim just told her about her stomach, making a hungry sound. After everyone heard the little girl, Natalsa relayed the message that Tim had told her, then everyone paused for a few seconds and started laughing. The entire meal’s tables with people sitting heard what the little girl, Natalsa, told them about Tim not being hungry, and everyone laughed, starting to enjoy their food on the table.
