Chapter 1 Hello, New World!

The Alien communication between the mothership and the home planet

The Day 10,598, A message from Admiral Fletch at the mothership to the home planet

It took us this long to travel across the galaxies. We did not find many suitable planets for our invasion. The atmosphere on many planets was too hot, cold, dry, or wet for our liking. But we finally arrived at the Milky Way Galaxy, checked out several planets, and finally found a possible match. We approached it stealthily. We have our target—a small green and blue planet ahead of us.

The Day 10,599, A message from Admiral Fletch at the mothership behind the Moon to the home planet

First, we circled the Moon to assess the defense or the early warning system. We found nothing. It is deserted. The sun is not too close, so the atmosphere is suitable for us. The new planet looks promising. It seems to have a lot of water resources and forest areas, which is what we like.

The Day 10,600 – A message from Admiral Fletch at the mothership behind the Moon to the home planet: We landed on the dark side of the Moon. No inhabitants here.

The Day 10,601— A message from Admiral Fletch at the mothership behind the Moon to the home planet

We will send a scout team to the new planet. Ten of us will infiltrate the planet and find out more about the living beings there. We have listened to their transmissions via their satellites circling the planet. There seem to be several intelligent tribes with different languages living on this planet. Our team will land in a place called the United States. We have used our universal language translator to learn their language.

The Day 10,602, A message from Admiral Fletch to the home planet

Commander, Xork has chosen ten different places where the most vulnerable specimen will be available for our research. One of us will go to each target location. The chosen specimen will give us information on how to attack, how to dismiss their defense systems if they have any, and how to overthrow its current inhabitants. We picked the smaller ones as targets because we think they are the smartest ones. We’ll go silent when we reach the targeted posts.

The Day 10,603, A message from Commander Xork of the landing party to Admiral Fletch at the mothership

We have located our target area: The United States. We landed in an area called Florida during the night. The spacecraft is hidden under the water, so no one will find it. This area looks perfect for us: Warm weather, humid, freshwater lakes, lots of forest, and marshlands. Lots of vegetation, including vines, flowers, and fruits.

Bad news: We lost one of our own to a predator. It was a flock of big birds, the locals call them black vultures. We need to be careful around here as we do not recognize our enemies and who can attack us.

The beasts on this planet are not what we are used to on our planet. These predators can fly or walk with two- or four legs. We chased away one furry, striped one who tried to snatch one of the crew
