The Old One

Tom Ball

    And there once was an alien creature dwelling at the bottom of the oceans. The creature was millions of years old, biding its time while humanity slowly evolved. It reported back to its nearest fellow creature swimming in Europa seas. Recently there had been a lot of activity in their communication as the creature surfaced and looked at the coastal cities and dreamt dreams.
    Finally, one of the creature’s brothers sent an alien ship to Earth. It landed in Washington, D.C. Inside were creatures who looked like cockroaches, only with a very large head. They used their many arms to operate computers. They said, using MRT (Mind Reading Technology) with a language translator, it was time now for an agreement on partitioning space. Humans were invited to settle the fourth quadrant, which included a number of Earth-like planets. We agreed and they took off back to Space, but the ocean creature remained. It used MRT to monitor the humans and cause them to go to Space and join the brotherhood of 42 space going nations. They appeared to us as creatures of light. And they didn’t need to breathe. They thought to us, “We may like what we find.”
    And they taught us how to use metals to create gold cheap using catalysts. And said much more awaits us in space.
    And they said dolphins, whales and apes were all clever beings who we should enhance their brains.
    And we had used x-rays to see the nature of the space engine and copied it.
    And the creature was old
