Chapter 3: Invasion and Benevolent Colonization by the Aquarians
(version 0.0.2)
It was an early Friday morning in the summer of 2070 when the signal came from outside our Solar System. Dr. Keys was watching at one of his six screens in front of him, as an alarm went off, signaling a very awkward situation for mankind. He summoned his colleagues to the virtual meeting room for the first ever ‘interstellar communication analysis and assessment meeting’.
Within ten minutes, the various actors in the first ICAAM had arrived. They were at various locations on planet Earth wearing special Virtual Reality goggles. And the meeting room was set up as a Virtual Meeting Room Environment with Mountains in the background. Each of the specialists showed up with their avatar, and each was given a specific place around the Virtual Table …with Dr. Keys sitting on the front-end of the table, since he was going to coordinate the proceedings.
Dr. Keys, introduced himself, and then started the meeting by asking every participant to introduce themselves briefly. Mr. Green took the floor… ‘I am mr Green from the SETI and I understand we have a situation.’ Miss Shaw was next: ‘Miss Shaw from the NASA present…. I am an astronaut with sixteen years of experience. It appears the situation we have is rather new to all of us, so let’s move on’. Mr. Eagle, professor of Astrobiology at The University of Chicago, presented himself after which the meeting started.
“Let’s begin the meeting, at 07:13 this morning Hawaii time, I received a message which reads as follows…. ; It seems this is a true and clear message from outer space, which we need to take seriously”, said mr Keys. Mr. Green of SETI responded, “Yes, this seems to be a valid and correct message which we indeed need to take very seriously. It seems to me we must try to get in touch with these Aliens using the METI platform. I hope they receive our message and respond to it. How should we present ourselves to these Aliens, and what should we ask them? “ Mr. Green responded: “There is a clear protocol on how to deal with this kind of messages from outer space and our response as humanity. Namely, the UN document on interspecies communication from 2030. So, we wil present ourselves as the Planet Earth communications and negotiations team. And we will ask them what they look like, what they are doing here, what their plans and intentions are.” Mr. Eagle responded: “ Yes, it is clear we need to know how these aliens look and how they present themselves, as well as how they communicate their intentions. Verbal and non-verbal communication are key at this stage. But based on the message we received, I propose we broaden this meeting to include the various secret services around the globe. We need to keep everyone in the loop of this event.” Miss Shaw responded: “I strongly agree with mr Eagle, we have to contact the various secret services and include the USA Space force representatives as soon as possible.” The conversation continued for another few minutes.
This was the first time Humanity got a heads-up from outer space about an invasion and possible colonization. We don’t know the intentions of the future intruders to our solar system. Thus, all alarm bells were ringing in the “Alien Communication Interception center” in Hawaii. Shortly after the first Virtual meeting between the specialists, a second meeting took place between dr Keys and representatives of secret services of various countries.
A total of 20 international guests arrived to the Virtual Reality meeting room and listened to the speakers as they asked questions in text (which scrolled below as a ticker to the Virtual Meeting room). This was the agreed upon procedure to keep the meeting practical, workable and decisive.
The message they received was commenced at the beginning of the meeting and read as follows: “We are a species from a far away Galaxy, and we are called ‘the Aquarians’. We will arrive in your Solar System within the next Six earth time months. We bring a warning message about an intergalactic war that is ongoing and that could spill over into the Milky Way and even into your star system. And, as a such, it could influence life on your planet, within the next 8-10 Earth years. Subsequent messages will follow within the near future.”
After the reading of this message, the Q&A started. The first question came from the USA Space Force representative: “What are the current risks to Humanity based on the communication that was just presented and analyzed by the specialists ?”. Each of the specialists gave their opinion in a brief presentation, and the conclusion was that ‘it is currently unsure what to expect and what to do in the event the aliens would be aggressive and attack our planet. Therefore, we agree to await the subsequent communications from the Aquarians… at which point we can take appropriate steps if necessary’.
Subsequent questions were answered and involved topics like……….. Alien invasion and colonization ; Possible origin of the aliens ; Astronomy on their possible origins ; Earth defense mechanisms ; Alien negotiation teams ; Communication to the public ; Earth Defense force alert system (in essence the level that ought to be proposed now)
After the initial assessment, the decision made to roll out the ‘major earth protection plan against Alien Invasion’, and to communicate the news to the public about the possible invasion within the next few months. This decision as made based on the Alien Invasion Protection Act of the UN, which was signed by all members in 2030.
After some discussion among the various actors of the ICAAM and the top leaders in the media, a message was proposed to the UN Security Council. The message reads as follows: “On …. At 7:13 am, a message was intercepted from outer space, which leads us to believe visitors are on their way to our planet. We await further communications from the Aliens, which call themselves the Aquarians, before giving further details and instructions. We ask the public to remain calm and …. To make sure we prepare ourselves in the most appropriate way. The next message from the Aquarians is expected within the next few weeks. We will keep the public informed about their arrival date, plans, and intentions…..”
\< First reaction by the public was mixed \>
……
After several weeks of silence, the alarms went off again at the “Alien Communication Interception center”. This was the signal of the second message from the Aquarians. The message read as follows: “Our intentions are clear: 1) we come in peace ; (2) we come to protect and defend humanity against possible intruders given the ongoing intergalactic war ; (3) we will help Humanity with the cleansing of the oceans and repair of the all ecosystems ; (4) we bring technology that will make the use of fossil fuels obsolete ; (5) we will prepare humanity for a bright future within ‘the intergalactic federation’. We will arrive to planet Earth with 3–4 months and wish to convey our peaceful message and intentions to the whole of Humanity via the media in a message that will be made available in the top ten languages of Planet Earth: English (approx. 1.5 billion speakers), Mandarin Chinese (approx. 1.2 billion speakers), Hindi (approx. 609 million speakers), Spanish (approx. 558.5 million speakers), Standard Arabic (approx. 334.8 million speakers), French (approx. 311.9 million speakers), Bengali (approx. 284.3 million speakers), Portuguese (approx. 266.6 million speakers), Russian (approx. 253.4 million speakers) Indonesian (approx. 252.4 million speakers).”
Further information about the Aquarians leadership: The leader of the Aquarians called himself Riva the Fifth, he is also known as the Septa gram Space Commander... star-sailing the seven seas of the Aquarians realm. He is, in human terms, also known as the Octillionnaire (since his wealth amounts to around 5 Octillion US dollars). The fleet he manages consists of 1 gigantic mothership carrying 600,000 Aquarians and 100,000 creatures form other civilizations, it has a fleet of 30,000 space fighters... Apart from that the fleet has 25 large submotherships each carrying about 100,000 Aquarians and 10,000 creatures from other civilizations and about 5,000 space fighters, the rest of the fleet consists of 3000 Space Frigates and 150 Space Cruisers…. etc... The 'main' mothership of the Aquarians is called the "SSC Atlantis”. The part of the fleet that is on its way to Planet Earth is large enough to control the whole Milky Way.
