Kenny Yao

"Sometimes in life when we are handed a problem... we just go on and do the best we can. That way we survive the challenge and can achieve victory." Kenny Yao is a retired Businessman turned Writer from San Francisco. A widower, he is a father of four sons. He is now residing in Manila. It all started years ago, when witnessing one of the most destructive typhoons in his local city, Kenny was inspired to build an evacuation center someday to help those in need. The image of a chopper hovering down a rooftop to rescue a group of stranded family, became the inspiration for the very first scene that Kenny wrote for his debut novel, "The Sun Day". Up to date, he has written and published novels, a collection of short stories, poetry, and Biblical non-fictions.

The Conspiracy

1975 -- Washington, D.C.

No! It can’t be. Senior Analyst Will Prady exclaimed. This can’t be at least for another billion years.

Did you guys double check and reload the computers? Dr. Cage looked at his team to confirm the data.

The Center for Space Studies (CSS), a local agency for NASA, exploded with excitement as baffled researchers were trying to find out what was happening. Dr. Cage, the Directorate of the Astrophysics Department, settled his eyes on the computer while he and his team read the data from a recent solar spectroscopic analysis done on the sun.

We’ve already reloaded a few times, Sir. a reply came from Keith Fatou, one of the team members.

Well, do it again. ordered Dr. Jason Scheff, who is the head researcher for the team, as well as a colleague of Dr. Cage.

Senior Analyst Will Prady, together with the team, adjusted some of the dials in the computers that they have been working on as they reloaded the results from the recent analysis of the sun.

As the computer began to load again, the data shown across the screen were like the fire-like colors of the spectrum on the monitor.

It’s the same, Sir. We’re positive about the results. Senior Analyst Will Prady said.

Are you sure? I mean, really sure? Dr. Cage said with doubt. Now if what you’re showing me is true, and this gets out, you know the consequences.

Yes, are you sure? What about our equipment? This is not a good time to play pranks. Dr. Scheff followed up, looking around at everyone in the room.

Yes, we’re sure. The team answered all at the same time.

The equipments are fine, doctors. They have been checked out every hour on the hour, and the technical teams have logged in their findings every time they do maintenance. Fatou replied, showing the logs to Dr. Cage.

Well, can you check everything again, to be sure? Dr. Cage directed the team.

The team actively got up and pushed some buttons and toggled some dials and switches across the big machine of what seemed like a supercomputer. The team programmed the machine to reset and one of them switched off the power then turned it back on.

By the time they were done, they geared up for another reading of the activity of the sun and afterward, they loaded up the results on the big screen. All eyes gazed at the big screen, and they saw again the same fire-like colors of the spectrum as they had reported earlier. Everyone was amazed at the colors leaping in front of their eyes. They could not believe what they were witnessing.

That can’t be. Keith Fatou murmured in amazement, scratching his head.

Do you want us to do another reset, Sir? Analyst Will Prady asked Dr. Cage.

No, we’ve done all we can. Dr. Cage replied. You guys realize what this means so brace yourselves.

You guys are familiar with the procedure. Call NASA-Kennedy and announce a level-8 protocol meeting. Dr. Scheff ordered their team as he watched in concern at his fellow colleague, Dr. Cage.

Moments prior to contacting NASA-Kennedy, Keith Fatou first called his best friend Abe Singh, who recently
