SRIHARIKOTA, INDIA


“Hello! The control room, do anybody copy. I repeat do anybody copy. over” an ISRO scientist hurried.

“Yes, I copy. over” A CISF officer replied in a sleepy voice.

“We are receiving a very strong yet strange signal south to the Pulicat Lake. Immediately send a force. I repeat immediately send a force. over” That ISRO scientist requested.


The control room was on HIGH ALERT after receiving the message and the entire force was on chaos. This never happened before till date. The chief of the security forces prepared a team of fifteen members to follow him towards the strange signal point leaving the rest of them to protect others inside the boundary.


It was the middle of the night. The force reached the strange signal point but they couldn’t see anything except the moon in the dark sky. The lake beneath it looking like a portrait drawn by a lonely artist. Everyone in the force turned on the torches on their guns.


They all turned their faces to their left after listening to an officer saying “oh! My god”. They were traumatized to see a huge UFO in those combined torch lights. It looked like a silver-colored giant ball balanced on four legs and a ring around it made it look like planet Saturn. A drop of sweat flowed down from the chief’s head to his chin.


“STAY ALERT” he shouted, wiping the sweat with his hand.


The force led by the chief slowly took steps forward to the UFO, pointing their guns on it. But no one actually knows what to do next. This was their first time encountering this kind of situation. The environment vibrated due to the shivering of the force, it looked so calm just like the silence before a disaster. They halted after hearing a loud burst sound coming out from the UFO.


The ring around the UFO cut in half and went backward. The upper part of the ball opened slowly with a metal-like creaking sound. The light that came from it turned the midnight into dusk. The gas which came along with the light covered the whole region like a winter morning fog. Stairs came from inside, dug the ground and settled on it.


“Take position” the chief shouted but no one knew that his body was shivering.


The force heard what sounded just like a metal foot walking. With every step, the intensity of the sound increased. An alien came walking downstairs and stood on the land firmly. It looked like any other alien in the space adventure movies with a head, two legs, and hands but is very short and thin with a metal armor covering its body including the head.


 Everyone stood there like statues and they don’t know what its motive was. Some members in the force lost hope in life and others tried to compose themselves.


“Kneel down you a metal alien or we will shoot you” the chief ordered the alien with a shaking voice. He was not sure whether the alien could decode the message or not.

 

To everyone’s shock, the metal alien kneels down and raised its hands on the air.


“Does anybody copy? Found a metal alien. Immediately report to the head. I repeat immediately report to the head. Over” Chief said


His hands were shaking while handcuffing the alien. It was a very difficult task for him and he almost died doing this job of fear but it’s his duty and should do it to protect his pride.    


RESEARCH LAB, SRIHARIKOTA


“Stay Alert, anything can happen at any time. Be ready for it. Respond immediately to the signal given. I need two guarding the lab door and rest the lab main entrance.” The chief ordered his force.


Chief suspects that something is not right. The alien kneels down when he ordered it. That means the alien knows the languages of the earth. It’s easier to communicate but he feared the motive and other information it might know. Is it some sort of invasion plan?


As he entered the lab, he saw the head of the space research center and other scientists are standing before the metal alien that is kept inside a glass chamber. He imagined their blank faces by looking the way they stood before the alien.     


“It’s the first time in our Indian history. I think aliens liked Indians after Americans. A proud moment to our country” the head smiled to his joke.


“What do we do now sir, should we inform the government?” a scientist asked.


“What do I know to do, do you think I’m an expert in aliens” head said in a sarcastic manner. Everyone laughed halfheartedly. “It is a very sensitive matter I will inform the government myself. It becomes an issue if anything breaks out.”


“Head, let’s do some experiments on him. So that we can know about extraterrestrial life.”


“No, we belong to a country known for its hospitality. Let’s try to communicate with him. But how should we?”


“Head, I think he understands our language. He kneel when I ordered to do so. We should communicate and ask him his motive?” chief intrigued in middle of their conversation.


The head composed himself turned to the metal alien and said: “Do you understand what we speak?”


Silence occupied the room. Everyone was waiting for some miracle to happen.


 “Yes,” the answer came in a metallic voice.


Everyone had a heartache after listening to it. It’s true. The alien can understand and speak with us. Thousands of thoughts whirling in their minds. They couldn’t think straight.


“Are you ready to communicate with us?” the head asked with a slight shake in his voice

“Yes”

“Where are you from?”

*silence*

“How did you land on earth?”

*silence*

“Is there any motive behind your arrival on earth?”

*silence*


“See, if you do not answer our questions, how can we help you? Let’s try to understand each other. Don’t be afraid. We won’t harm you.”


“I want to communicate with this whole world. Please help me.”


This time silence was on head’s side. Other scientists started whispering among themselves. Head turned to them.


“What does that mean? Something is fishy? What we do now?”


“Sir, the communication to the whole world is very difficult and how can we trust him. He is not even telling anything to us.” A scientist replied.


“The communication to this world is through media. What if it uses its technology to do mass hypnotism and manipulates us. I think its support him, sir.” Another scientist raised a doubt.


“Sir, we should not trust him,” everyone said.


“Yeah I agree but what if it’s lost or something else that won't harm us" head argued.

 

“Please, let me talk with the head in person. Head, I heard that you are a man of good heart and had a great part in successfully launching the satellites making this country proud.” Alien requested the head


The scientists looked at the alien. It was sitting still.


“Everyone in this room, please leave. Wait outside for some time. If something happens I will give the

signal. Let me talk with this alien” the head ordered his colleagues.


Everyone went outside. Chief ordered the force to leave the main entrance and secure the lab door.


Their blank faces indicate the tense atmosphere around them.


“Immediately, arrange for the press meet. Tell them that it’s a very important conference. I will speak with the government myself and take the required permissions. And tell the press that an alien came to earth and we are exposing it the world through media, also release its photos.” The head came out hurriedly and went to his office.


Everyone was dissatisfied to listen to the head’s words. Some even thought that he was possessed by that alien and others thought that he became mentally insane. But deep in the heart in everyone know that he’s a real man and can’t be possessed by anyone that easily. They went to their offices to do their part.     

  

The press meet was scheduled on next day morning. The news became an overnight sensation in social media. No one believed the news at first but then the photos of the alien were leaked along with the statement of the ISRO’s head. So many opinions polled in. Thousands of strange tales have been made up. Night newspapers were fully covered with alien articles. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see the alien. When excitement hits us time walks slowly to tease us.


Time is the number one bully in the world.


Next day morning, most in the world woke up early with excitement. Some woke forcedly and the remaining others never cared about anything. Everyone was stuck to their televisions, laptops, smartphones. The life of the press meet is streaming everywhere in the world through different means.


PRESS MEET


“Thank you, everyone, for this huge response to this press meet. The main agenda of this press meet is an alien came to our earth and it wants to communicate with us. Don’t worry it speaks in our global language” head addressed to everyone.


“Now, I give over the mic to the alien to speak.”


 Alien took over the mic raising the anxiety of the people.


“Thank you, everyone, for coming to this press meet and all the people over there watching this life through different media. I came here today on a very important purpose and with a strong message. The truth is I’m not an alien but a ‘human’ just like you all.”


The alien removed its metallic helmet from its head and showed its face to the world. Took the gloves from its hand and gently cut its finger with a knife. Blood flowed from its finger to hand.

 

BAAM!!!! The whole world is filled with blank faces. The twist that no one expected, the twist that is unique of its kind.


“Is this some kind of a joke? Is ISRO trying to gain more popularity with this cheap trick?” a person from the press asked.


“Sorry! You are completely mistaken. ISRO has no part in it. It’s not a practical joke. Yes, I’m a human but not from this era. I’m from the future. I came here through time travel in a time machine.” The alien said.


Excited faces ruled the world at that moment. So many people stopped working and stuck to televisions.


“I came here leaving my home. Traveled back in time. Almost have died. If it’s not for an important matter. Why would I risk my life? It’s about your people. The mistakes you are doing. Please listen to me. Please” he said punching the table very hard.


 Everyone was silent. So many doubts arouse among people. The number of viewers was declined to half saying its rubbish. Some even stopped watching saying that it’s a cheap trick played by ISRO. But rest half was curious to know what it’s about to say.


“We believe that you are from the future. But how are you going to prove to us that?” a reporter asked.


“I know that you media people only love controversies. But listen to what I say and if you have any trust issues even after that. I surrender.” The future man (alien) replied.

 

“I think people are experiencing drastic climate change. Extreme temperatures, Rise in water level, water scarcity in major cities. Did you people ever give it a thought how it’s going to affect us, your future generations. Did you all even considered these disasters, the forms of climate change as a problem.” he shouted. 


“Climate change is common on earth. It’s happening for millions of years ago. It always fluctuates.” Reporter 2 replied


“With due respect sir, I am not talking about season change here. Have you wondered why I am wearing this metal armor? Not for fun, it gives us the oxygen supply. We fill this armor with oxygen because we live underground sir, not on earth like you are living now. Our resources are limited. No, it had been limited by you people our ancestors.”


“We humans who came to the world from mother earth’s womb, went back to hide in the same womb with no option left. Do you even know that most animals that you pet now, see now had gone through extinction? Life is a hell now” He cried.


“If it’s true that you people are living under the ground. What about the food? Power?” reporter 3 asked.

 

“I know sir, we are never interested in the truth. Only physical proof is important” he replied and took out a small box from armor kept it on the table. A light came from the box and projected on the white wall behind the alien.


A video was presented on how it looked like in the future. Earth was in so bad condition that everyone lived under the ground. Half of the twenty-five percent of the land was destroyed by floods, hurricanes. A small portion of the land that is remaining is used for agriculture but the results are even worse than worse. There are no forests, glaciers. It's a position where we can't even predict what season it is? Geothermal energy is used for electricity but can only use them for a limited time. Everyone was wearing metal armor which filters the polluted oxygen. Water is taken in the form of capsules. Even though measures are taken, no enough food, water, electricity, and fresh oxygen to breathe. Disasters are ruling the world. Mother earth is on the verge of extinction. The only thing to be happy for in these disasters is the technology that has been improved at a humongous rate. But is technology greater than lives?


“Are you happy now, sir. Is this proof enough or do you all want to experiment on me?” The future man looked at every reporter and said.


Everyone went to deep thoughts. Is climate change really going affect us this hard? Yes, really the proof is before our eyes. Actually, climate change is really happening. The thoughts are whirling in everyone’s mind. The excited faces turned into sad ones.


“Please, my ancestors, please. Plant more trees. Reduce the per capita carbon emissions. Stop hunting wildlife and aquatic animals. Think of what other activities you can do to protect our mother earth. Think of us, your future generations. We don’t need your money or assets. What we need is a good environment to play in this world like you all, to roam the world like you all. We don’t want to hide. We want to explore”


“These were the year's climate change is more and it was neglected. So, I came to warn you. The Thanos snap is for real. Half of the human population is really gone. If we stay like this, the other half also goes extinct. Then it’s really the end of life. If you all take the right measures to prevent the end. Our lives too will be happy just like yours. It’s a request from your future generations. Please protect our mother.”


“Thank you for sparing your valuable time and listening to me. Hope we can protect our lives and mother earth’s too”


“Thanks for warning us. It was a difficult journey for you. Now, it’s time for us to do our part. Hope you return home safely.” Reporter saluted the alien.


It was not only the reporter but the whole world saluted him.


“What is your name?” a curious reporter asked


"ALIEN"
