Orion Effect: The Creation of Nahla

By Douglas Green

Sue looked up at the ceiling, "I know you see what is happening. This is your daughter. You need to step out of your comfort zone and save her life," Sue said. "I beg of you, please don't let her die like this. Please breathe life into her and give her life," Sue said. "I know you are all seeing, Mr. Asgard. Please save my daughter, I beg of you.
The lights begin to flicker and then went dim as if the bunker was losing power.
"Who are you talking to?" Dani asked.
Her father, he sees all and knows all things for he is the almighty Supreme Being," Sue said. "I trusted him once before, and I believe in him."
They could still hear Freya goo, goo, and gaga through the darkness and silence in the room. Then, there was a very bright light in the room as the Asgard appeared in human form. He slowly walked over to Sue's bed and looked down at Nahla and smiled. He then looked over at Freya and winked at her as she reached out her hands to him, but he didn't pick her up. He looked over at Sue and Nahla. He passionately kissed her, and she kissed him back. She handed Nahla to him as she held her little hand. He kissed Nahla and breathed life into her tiny mouth. Sue could now feel Nahla's tiny fingers squeezing her hand. He handed her back to Sue and said, "Until we meet again." He stepped away from her bed and slowly disappeared into nothingness. The lights came back on.
"Who was that?" Dani asked again, not believing Sue the first time.
"He is her father, the Asgard. Now, do you believe me?" Sue said.
"Hell, yes," Dani replied. "After seeing that miracle, how can I not believe what I just saw? Freya, meet your new sister, Nahla."

Year 3580

A lone female scientist was stranded in space, out of food and water. Her ship was running on reserve emergency power with no chance of getting home. The scientist was Doctor Sue Parson. She apologized to her husband for accepting the space anomalies investigation assignment against his protest. The assignment was a long distance without substantial testing. It was a dangerous fifty percent chance of a no return mission. She continued to beg for forgiveness as her ship’s power drained away. Suddenly, a bright light appeared before her. She strained her eyes to see. At first, she thought it was a rescue ship. When she realized there was no rescue ship, she began to feel a presence. Who’s there? she asked.

A voice emanated from the bright light, I have no name. I am known as a supreme being.

There is no such thing as a supreme being, Sue replied.

Then, how do you explain my existence? he asked.

I don’t know. I am a scientist, and I only assume things in theory. I don’t care who you are, but can you help me with fuel, food and water so I can get home?

No. I am forbidden to perform such a task.

I sense you are a good person, she said.

I also sense you are a good researcher that would do your species some good in the future.

Please, I don’t care about that, I just want to go home, She began to cry. I don’t want to die out here. I beg of you, please help me get home."

He waved his hand as she quickly recovered from her hunger pangs. Her ship then temporarily powered up as the alarm warning stopped flashing, and her ship recovered and powered up.

This is only a temporary fix until I no longer appreciate your company.

Why would you temporarily save me only to let me die later?

I have been traveling in space for hundreds of years, and I have never come across a being of your species. You are intriguing to me, and I enjoy talking to you. He searched and probed her mind so he could appear in human form as not to frighten her in his natural form. The bright lights dissipated as he appeared in male human form. He was six feet tall with black hair, glowing blue eyes and glistening copper tone color skin. He was naked, so she turned her head and closed her eyes.

Am I not what you expected in your human form,?" he asked.

Yes, but you need to put on some clothes.

He smiled and snapped his finger, and he had on one of her space jumpsuits.

That is much better, she said as she smiled at him. What is your name? she asked. Knowing that it was the second time she asked him for his name.

I have no name, he replied again, but I am known as an Asguard, and I am one of a few protectors of the galaxy.

Well then, it is your job to help me get home.

No. It doesn’t work like that. It is my job to protect the galaxy from people like you and your kind with your trash and garbage.

Well, there will be trash and other debris in your galaxy if you let me die out here in space.

I see your point. What is your name? he asked. Don’t answer that question because I would like to see for myself. He extended his hand and touches her head with his index finger. He started to scan her mind and started to smile as she slapped his hand away.

What is wrong with you? It is rude to invade a person’s privacy like that.

It was not my intention to offend you, he said.

I know, but it is considered rude. How would you feel if I scanned your mind to learn everything there is to know about you? she asked.

But you can’t, he replied.

But if I could, would you want me to do that to you? she asked. No? Then don’t do that to me, she said.

Then how would I get to know you if I don’t read your mind?

It’s called talking. How about we talk to each other to get to know one another, which is what we are doing, she said.

I see your point, and I apologize. But since I already scanned your mind, I already know everything about you, he said.

Now that you know everything about me, can you help me get home? she asked. You are a supreme being, so I know you can help me get home.

Yes, I can help you get home, but it will take a lot of energy. I can’t spare that much energy because it will leave me vulnerable to outside forces, which is dangerous. I can get you close to home, but it will take a significant sacrifice on your part. You will have to go into cryo suspension animation, and I would have to merge with you by entering your body.

You will have to agree to this because I don’t know how it would affect your mind and your body, she said. She stared at him in anger, but her desire to get home was more important. You have already invaded my mind, and you know everything about me already.

May I remind you there might be a heavy price to pay if we merge our bodies?

I’m willing to take that chance if it will help me get home. How would it work, and will I feel any pain?

"No, there will be no pain involved. Basically, what I will do is draw
