The Alien Shadow People: The Return of the Alien Shadow People Began with Revenge Intent, Altered by a Colony Crisis

By Maurice Brandon

After repeated disastrous journeys to the planet Earth, the aliens under new leadership after a resurrection began a new era. The deposed leader, B8, waited as long as possible before resuming control. His plan for the use of the planet Earth was not geared to revenge as was the previous leaders. The resurrection over, his plan was progressing smoothly until a colony scientist brought the news of impending crisis of total destruction of their planet. B8, the true leader, accepting the report, began a corrective course of action.

REVENGE OF THE ALIEN SHADOW PEOPLE

PART 1

W e know them from old stories, but we don’t know enough to understand their reasons for visiting our planet. Perhaps what we need to know is some history of them and their world, how they came to live where they did, and how they survived from day to day. Perhaps how their government worked is important in understanding how it came about that they had to seek out a new place to live. With that goal then, we review their world, their leadership, and his tory.

THE ALIENS’ FIRST HOME

A BRIEF HISTORY

T he aliens’ history begins with an unknown: their first colony. There is no record of when or where that might have occurred; we surmise that the reasons for that first migration was caused by some calamity. We begin, then, with the history of that first colony, a planet somewhere in the wide expanse of space, the exact location of which even their best scientist did not know, or recorded it if they did.

Eons had passed since the first spaceship landed on that planet, their new home. The ship had on board a number of passengers as well as esteemed leaders, artisans, and trained individuals, carefully chosen for their expertise in the many duties of establishing a new colony. This planet was not ideal, but the exploration crew had accepted the planet and supported the move.

Scientists had carefully planned the landing site. The ship arrived as planned, and the passengers received careful briefing on disembarking procedures. They waited until their leader, Z4, gave them permission to leave the ship. What they could expect once on the surface concerned the officers. The planet was unlike their previous home planet. This planet was verdant, very different from where they had lived. This planet had greater oxygen levels as well as other atmospheric gases. Expression of caution about that fact was made because they were not used to it, and their reaction was not known. A precautionary action, the wait, was for Z4 and two officer pilots to proceed down the ramp first, with their special helmets, to test the unfamiliar air.

Once out of the ship and on the surface of the planet, Z4 slowly raised his mask and carefully breathed the planet’s air. He found it safe and continued breathing without his special helmet. Finally motioning to his two officers to remove their helmets, they walked around the ship. Scouting the surrounding area, Z4 was pleased at what he saw and sent one of the officers back to inform the remaining members on the ship to join them.

From that beginning, the colony flourished until centuries later, when one of Z4’s offspring, B8, found the population facing the same situation that those ancient leaders did when they sent Z4 on that first journey. A population increase in the favorable conditions of the planet had begun taxing its food production capabilities. The scientists had created new foods as fast as they were able to, yet it was not enough to maintain the population. The soil area of the planet, a crystalline material, would not permit food to grow properly. These aliens’ only food source was vegetation, which they ingested through a special process—more like absorbance than any other process—thus, loss of a food source was critical.

CITIZENS REPORT A COLONY CRISIS

T ime passed and found B8, known as the supreme colony leader, facing an irate group of citizens who had asked for and had been granted an audience, who now stood facing him. Their conversation was more like demands, and they were voicing serious consequences if certain issues were not addressed. Finally, with no other choice, B8 agreed to call an emergency meeting of the senior leaders of his colony cou ncil.

One of those leaders, known as Xturmin, a duly elected council member, was notified to inform the other members as well as the citizens of the meeting arrangements. Xturmin had been told about the subject of the meeting and began speaking as soon as they were assembled.

Great you are, honorable B8. You have been our leader now for many revolutions of our planet’s trip around that huge molten mass that provides heat and our comfortable planet. We acknowledge your right as a descendant of our ancient ancestors. I represent our citizens who now come seeking your wise counsel on a most troubling matter. As you know, we are facing the lack of proper food supplies. As our ancient ancestors did, we ask you to consider searching for a planet in the solar system which might have similar conditions as this planet. Zotal is with us and as you know, as a scientist, he suggests that there are other planets such as this. In fact, honorable B8, he reports that there were some signals coming from a planet orbiting around the huge molten mass but in a different orbit from ours. Honorable Supreme Colony Leader, we ask that because of our serious food condition, efforts be made at once to begin exploring planets for a place where we could live.

B8 sat considering the request, realizing that it was like an order. B8 asked, Can someone tell me the amount of rotations in our orbit that remain before we reach a crisis in our food supply? No one could answer his question, so he gave a scientist the duty of finding out the answer. Then he turned to the scientists who were in charge of developing materials used in machinery and housing. Do you have a design for a traveling method for interspace transportation? What I mean is simply can you manufacture a spaceship capable of traveling on a journey to search for that planet that you think might be like this one?

A scientist named Natul, who was in charge of developing the raw material used on the planet, answered, Supreme Leader B8, we have been successful in using the planet’s abundant supply of crystal materials to bond with a metallic substance that we use in the manufacture of dwelling construction. It is my opinion that we can use the same material in the manufacture of space-traveling vehicles. We believe that by using proper construction methods, we can construct a space-traveling unit that can withstand the tremendous stress created when it is subjected to thermal variations or acceleration forces. A spaceship made of this material, powered by our recently developed antigravity devices, should be sufficient to accomplish any exploration you might need. All we need is your approval to construct such a ship and a period of time to prove its adaptability in meeting the design expectations.

Natul, you have my approval to begin immediately. Do you have an estimate of the construction and test times?

Supreme Leader B8, it will take four rotations of the planet around the huge melted mass after we begin, answered Natul.

B8, realizing the cause of the food shortage—overpopulation—began discussion on that subject. Because of the manner in which additions to a pair of their citizens occurred, B8 issued an order that all activities that possibly create a new member cease immediately until further notice. Realizing that just commanding it to cease was not going to be effective, he clarified the order. Since the citizens lived in groups, in a single dwelling, the directive would not be effective, and so a second stage of control would be needed.

He created a new agency to develop and implement population control. That agency adopted the separation of the two types of citizens. Each separated group would reside in separate dwellings until further notice. The new agency operated under the resident medical scientist. The meeting ended with all returning to their respective dwelling places. Later that same day, the engineer in charge of communications returned and asked B8 for an audience. That meeting occurred in the same area. The engineer stood before B8 and began.

Supreme Leader B8, for two rotations of our planet around our solar system I, Limtul, have tracked a signal that generates from a small planet. The signal must travel a great distance and take a great amount of time even at its speed. The signal seems to be from one certain location on that small planet. Just what the signal means I do not know since I do not speak their language. I thought you might need to know this information, and I have heard that you have authorized the construction of a spaceship that would travel in search of a new world where our people might live. As a trained and experienced communications engineer, I would like to volunteer to serve as your communications engineer on the ship. Please consider my request. B8 agreed to this, and then he left.

In due time, the spaceship was completed and tested successfully. The ship made a trial journey quickly, its speed considerably beyond expectations, and because of that, they decided to explore a small planet nearby. They made the journey, and during this exploration, they discovered a race of small creatures. They had long wondered about what might be on that smaller planet. Perhaps a new source of supplies, even though it might be limited. The discovery of those creatures opened a labor source as well, for they began to capture them, then they transported them to their planet where the creatures became their slaves.

They planned the next space journey to the small planet that the communication engineer had been tracking. Leaving their planet on a carefully planned flight occurred soon after the first exploration. The ship was designed to carry its crew and several of the small creatures used as slaves and had spare storage areas for the crew to store any materials discovered. Scientists had requested the crew survey the landing area for possible materials utilized in future manufacturing needs. There was an immense interest in the possibility of the crew discovering a raw material used in powering atomic power-generating units. The scientist in charge of fusing crystalline materials to metal components needed good silicone products, and then there was always the food question, if the new world had such.

The spaceship traveled at an extremely high rate of speed and arrived at the chosen landing site much quicker than anticipated. The communications engineer sent regular reports on the ship’s progress. B8 was updated upon receiving any new message.

EARTH EXPLORED

S upreme Leader B8 was in his office waiting on reports when he received the message that the first spaceship had successfully returned. He summoned the commander of that ship to his office at once and requested a complete report. The commander did not withhold any details, reporting details of how they had forgotten a slave and had left it behind. B8 was adamant that the slave must be rescued and returned, not especially because of its value as a slave but because it might have information that could be detrimental to their welfare. The slave had witnessed many actions, and those must not fall into enemy’s hands. B8 chose a new ship commander for a return fight. This commander had instructions to return to the previous location and bring back that slave, known as 9291.

The ship returned quickly and surveyed the entire area but did not find the small slave. During those two trips, their spaceship had traveled in and out of the small planet’s atmosphere safely because of the speed of their craft and the use of a special cloaking device.

The spaceship that made the second trip searching for the small slave creature became the beginning of contact with earthlings. The pilot was number 4298. Since the citizens of the alien colony received numbers for identification purposes, the small slave creature was known by the number 9291.

A young lad named Victor Smart Jr. discovered 4298 by chance, and the book The Alien Shadow People has that story. This return voyage story looking for the small alien slave creature continues in The Return of the Alien Shadow People. This voyage was not considered successful by B8, the supreme colony leader. A new spaceship headed by Commander 2 was sent to correct the error. A second crewmember, number 348, was sent and was in charge of the search crew seeking to recover the slave. However, this trip ended in disaster for the alien creatures.

The little slave creature that caused the search had been captured by the earthlings and maintained in a laboratory where it was undergoing detailed study. Negotiations to return the little slave grew very contentious. An army general received authority from the current president to handle the situation. The worsening conflict prompted the general to issue orders to destroy the alien spacecraft. What happened because of that action was not expected. However, what they decided to do about those earlier spaceships and crews that were lost, and what the citizens of our world chose to do begins next.

Supreme Leader B8 received the updated report of a distress call from the spaceship and quickly decided to send another ship on a rescue mission. The commander of this ship, carefully briefed on the previous ship’s situations, received the authority to take any retaliatory action he saw suitable. Upon leaving his home planet, he failed to energize the ship’s cloaking device. Feeling that he would be impervious to detection by the citizens of the small planet, now called earthlings, the commander intended to energize the device as he passed close by but decided to forgo that step, doubting the earthlings had the ability to detect his ship at all. He was quite naïve about such details, never having had any experience in such serious leadership positions.

His ship had terrible destructive power built into it, and each crewmember had the capability of generating a destructive ray. Because of these powers, he felt secure and thus proceeded onward to the planned destination, the landing site near where the previous ship, now destroyed, had sent the distress signal.

Not knowing the earthlings had discovered and had tracked his ship ever since he came out from behind the ringed planet, he sped on toward planet earth and his planned landing site. He circled earth and approached from a direction he felt would make the landing quick, then decided to take a short detour and demonstrate to the earthlings his powerful weapons, which he did successfully. As he landed, he began to search for survivors and soon discovered that he had been detected and was in immediate danger of suffering the same fate as that of the previous ship. Quickly trying to correct the gross misjudgment of the earthlings, he discovered it was too late, for he was standing in the ship’s meeting room when the first missile struck. Whether the communications officer was successful in sending the distress signal or not he never knew. The spaceship was suddenly a mass of explosions and flames.

Back at the ship’s home base,
