Zodia: The Thirteenth Tribe of Kobol
Disclaimers: The concept of thirteen colonies originating from Kobol belongs to Universal Studios.
Note: Immanuel Velikovsky had written a book "Worlds in Collision". In his book he declared that Venus was not a planet 3500 years ago, but a gigantic comet. To understand more of Immanuel Velikovsky's claim you can do a google search by typing Imanuel Velikovsky.
This story is based on Immanuel Velikovsky's claim.
As the passing months slowly turned into years the Zodiacs would come relatively close to a habitable planet that had barely enough water-supply to withstand five thousand people. The population of a zodiac's starship would decide that they no long wanted to live on a starship. They then would break off from the fleet and went to the planet.
One hundred and twelve years after leaving Kobol the remaining eighty percent of the tribe Zodia were approaching an ocean planet in a solar system with eight planets. The planet they named Earth was the second planet from the sun. Soon after reaching the planet several one man probes were sent out to survey the planet.
Three months later Pres. Dantes had called a briefing to discuss what was discovered.
After everyone had taken his or her seat, Dr. Asthor started to speak out, "Pres. Dantes, my crew and I have found no signs of intelligent life. The most intelligence creatures that we found on the planet are several classes of primates. Although these primates closely resemble us, hitting another primate over the head with a broken tree limb and stealing his or her food is the most intelligence they will ever have."
"Can these primates be a threat to us?" asked Pres. Dantes.
"They can be, however we found them to be easily intimidated," said Dr. Asthor. "We shouldn't have any difficulties in overcoming any threat they may pose to us."
"What other kinds of threat can we expect?" asked Pres. Dantes.
"We found several different kinds of large four legged animals that can definitely devour a human," said Dr. Asthor. "Some have a spotted pelt while others have stripes. There is even a daggit type creature that is larger than a daggit. We found them to be either gray or white in color. These creatures run together within a socialized group and wails at their moon."
"Are those daggit type creatures threatening?" asked Pres. Dantes.
"Yes they are," said Dr. Asthor. "There are several other creatures as well, but nothing we can't handle."
"Any other dangers we have to contend with besides animals?" asked Pres. Dantes.
"There are a number of active volcanoes in several regions of the planet," said Dr. Halistra. "We haven't noticed any seismic activities since we been here, but we have picked up several possible location on our scanner where a seismic activity might occur."
"Will that roving planet we discover ten years ago cause us any threat?" asked Pres Dantes.
"Venus is actually a large comet, but given Venus' present course and location it doesn't pose a threat to us," said Dr. Halistra. "However, since we can only determine what will happen within five hundred years from our present time that can change anytime after five hundred years."
"Mr. President, we are finding indication that Earth might have crossed path with Venus in the past," said Dr. Courtes. "We suspect that Earth had past through the comet's tail during the Earth's natural rotation. There is evidence that Earth had gone through an ice age caused by a large meteor strike. This ice age had created a mass extinction. Among the creatures that were killed off were large breeds of reptiles. At the subterranean level of the planet we are able to detect remains of these reptiles from our scanners. How far down we are scanning these remains suggest that it has been sometime since Earth had crossed path with Venus."
"Who here in this room feels that we are making a mistake in settling here on Earth?" asked Pres. Dantes. Pres. Dantes looked around before he continued. "Then it is settled. In twenty-four hours we will start moving our ships to the surface. Before I adjourn this meeting I have one other thing. I will be making a public announcement in an hour. We are going to be discarding who we were on Kobol. Starting this day forward our nation will be known as Atlantis."
For three thousand years the cities and the population grew in a receding manner. The population reached its peek after being on Earth for three thousands and five hundred years. The population then started to decline faster than it grew.
After an intensive research, Dr. Elisan came to the conclusion that more than fifty percent of the population was sterile and the number was growing rapidly with each generation. At first he had difficulty at locating the cause. He then came across a thesis in the database written by three students of the University of Caprica that made the medical journals. He then took his findings to Pres. Ortega.
"Our ancestors' own arrogance had sealed our fate," said Pres. Ortega. "Dr. Elisan is there anyway we can reverse our situation?"
"I'm afraid the only way to reverse our situation is for us to rejoin the twelve tribes," said Dr. Elisan.
"Even if the other tribes would allow us to rejoin them it would take us one hundred years to build enough ships to get everyone off the planet," said Pres. Ortega. "It would then take an additional hundred years to rejoin the twelve tribes."
"As fast as our population is declining there would be only a fraction of us left by the time this tribe would reunite with the other twelve tribes," said Dr. Elisan. "There is also a chance that this tribe won't recover at all in two hundred years."
"Can you think of any possibility to safe this tribe?" asked Pres. Ortega.
There was a short silence before Dr. Elisan said, "I can think of one radical possibility."
"What is your radical idea?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"Among the fourteen classes of primates that are native to this planet six of them resemble us the most," said Dr. Elisan. "I believe we should have no problems at forcing a cross breed between us and those six classes of primates."
"Dr. Elisan, you are suggesting for us to play god?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"Mr. President, the only way to save our tribe is to procreate with other tribes and since there are no other tribes here on Earth the only thing that is left is to create them," said Dr. Elisan. "Mr. President, it will benefit both us and those six classes of primates if we force breed with them."
"What benefits would the primate have?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"The cranium those primates have suggest that they will never evolve to anymore than what they are now," said Dr. Elison.
"So we will elevate their intelligence at the same time we save ourselves," said Pres. Ortega.
"Yes, Mr. President," said Dr. Elison.
"May the lords of Kobol forgive what we are about to do," said Pres. Ortega.
"So do I have your approval?" asked Dr. Elison.
"Yes, Doctor," said Pres. Ortega.
"Mr. President if you will excuse me I will go and form my team," said Dr. Elison.
"Doctor, before you leave, how soon can we expect the formation of the other tribes?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"The best case scenario it will take us three maybe even four generations to turn the primates into humans from a selective breeding process," said Dr. Elison.
"Doctor, how exactly are you going to do that?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"By impregnating a female primate with the semen of a human," said Dr. Elison. "Once we have a female hybrid and that hybrid grows into an adult we will repeat the process. We will then repeat the process until a human is born."
"And you can do that?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"As I said this will be a forced cross breeding," said Dr. Elison. "The worse case scenario is we will fail the cross breeding."
"Can you think of any consequences at what we are about to do?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"We can expect the hybrid humans to be more accessible at getting diseases, however we can overcome that with medicines," said Dr. Elison.
"Thank you, Doctor," said Pres. Ortega.
"Good day, Mr. President," said Dr. Elison. He then turned to leave.
"Doctor, wait, I just thought of one more thing," said Pres. Ortega. Dr. Elison faced him again. "During the course of creating these hybrid humans can you do something to stop us at becoming sterile in ten thousands or even twenty thousand years from now?"
"I might be able to place a marker within the chromosomes so a particular chromosome would change in the offspring when both parents would have the exact same chromosome," said Dr. Elison. "However, by doing that would result in a random health issues in the hybrid humans."
"What kind of health issues?" asked Pres. Ortega.
"Such as inferior eye sight to blindness at birth," said Dr. Elison. "Inferior hearing to people being deaf; random birth deformities; inferior organs to complete organ failures; inferior…"
"Thank you, Doctor, I got the message," said Pres. Ortega. "Doctor, what would the percentage of these inferior organs and deformities be if you would place that marker?"
"I wouldn't be able to predict that," said Dr. Elison. "However, as long as blood relatives that share direct ancestors for four or five generations don't get together, we should be able to keep the deformities to a minimum."
"Doctor I want you to place that markers in the hybrid humans," said Pres. Ortega.
"Yes, Mr. President," said Dr. Elison. Dr. Elison then walked out.
The following morning eight scientists from various fields were taking their seats. Dr. Elison then started to hand out a hard copy of the thesis he came across.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know our tribe is becoming sterile," said Dr. Elison. "The report I had just handed you explains as to why that is happening. Everyone can read the details of the report later, but to put it simply the population of our people is becoming more sterile with each generation due to the fact that we are a single tribe. When the chromosomes from the alpha to the zeta chromosomes become the same to both parents sterility occurs. According to the report at least five tribes must procreate with each other to prevent this from happening."
"Since we have to rejoin the other twelve tribes shouldn't you be discussing this with the space engineers so they can build our ships?" asked Dr. Kolon.
"Dr. Kolon, there wouldn't be enough of us to save if we would try to rejoin the other twelve tribes," said Dr. Elison.
"Then we are dead," said Dr. Felinon.
"Actually there is a chance to save our tribe without rejoining the other twelve tribes," said Dr. Elison. "There are six primates that are native to this planet that favors us. In four generations from now I believe we can perform an accelerated evolution and change those primates into humans by doing selective cross breeding. I have already spoken with Pres. Ortega and he has given me his approval."
"We have no right as to play god with those primates," said Dr. Toullon. "We do have the means to create clones so I propose that we drop the idea of cross breeding and concentrate on cloning."
"Dr. Toullon, I was also leaning towards cloning before I came across the cause of our situation," said Dr. Elison. "However, to turn to cloning would only give us an additional thousand years if that. Through selective cross breeding we should be able to create a permanent solution for us."
"With our present medical knowledge cloning only looks as if we are only prolonging the inevitable," said Dr. Toullon. "However, I feel we can perfect our ability to clone ourselves before the end comes."
"Even if we can perfect cloning we will still die eventually by the cellular degradation," said Dr. Elison. "Cloning will also speed up sterility among our tribe. So we must act now while we can save our tribe."
"Dr. Elison, even the unholy act that you are suggesting that we do would only provide us with a temporary solution," said Dr. Toullon. "Once we breed with the hybrid humans our descendents would eventually be place in the same situation as we are at now."
"Pres. Ortega and I had discussed that also," said Dr. Elison. "We are going to be placing a marker within the chromosomes so when both parents have the exact chromosomes it would force the child's chromosomes to be altered slightly. By doing this should help to prevent the alpha to the zeta chromosomes at becoming the same for both parents."
"This is not right," said Dr. Toullon as he stood up. "I will not be part of disrespecting the lords of Kobol with this sacrilegious act."
"Dr. Toullon, the way I see it if the lords of Kobol didn't want us to do it then we wouldn't have the medical technology to perform the necessary cross breeding along with colonizing a planet that has six classes of primates that we can cross breed with," said Dr. Elison.
"You have a distorted view as to what the lords of Kobol want," said Toullon. He then started to walk away.
"Dr. Toullon, your genetic knowledge would make you invaluable to this project," said Dr. Elison.
Dr. Toullon stopped and faced Dr. Elison. He then said, "I refuse to be a part of this." He then started to look at each of the other scientists who were sitting at the table. "If any of you respect the lords of Kobol everyone here will leave with me.
As Dr. Toullon was leaving the others remain seated.
"Since no one else is attempting to get up and leave I will assume I have everyone else's support," said Dr. Elison. "Dr. Miranda; Dr. Alakor, I want you two to work on the markers that will be placed in the chromosomes. I want everyone else with me. To perfect our ability to force a crossbreed I believe we need to run a few experiments first by mating our daggits with the native wolves that are on this planet. I have already sent out some people to capture a small group of these wolves."
"Dr. Elison, where exactly will we be keeping these wolves or even the primates that we capture to perform the crossbreed?" asked Dr. Miranda.
"Our labs have plenty of room to hold these wolves and primates," said Dr. Elison.
"Can I make a suggestion as to place them in an enclose garden," said Dr. Miranda. "The population is down in the city of Eden. It wouldn't be difficult to tear down a few abandon buildings and create a large garden. I believe the animals and the primates that we capture would be put through less traumatic stress if we place them in the garden. I believe lowering the stress of the primates would increase our success."
"That's actually a good suggestion, but I want two or more gardens," said Dr. Elison. "I don't want the primates being mauled by the other animals. If there is nothing else I believe we should be going to work to save our tribe."
"I just have one other thing before we adjourn," said Dr. Felinon. "We can't put all six classes of primates together in one garden without them trying to kill one another so I suggest to either created seven gardens or partition off one of the gardens into six sections."
"Partitioning the garden would be easier," said Dr. Miranda.
"Okay, we all know what we need to do so let's get to it," said Dr. Elison.
As the time passed Dr. Miranda and Dr. Alakor began mating small rodents within the same litter and subjecting them to certain tests attempting to slightly alter the chromosomes of the offsprings.
Dr. Toullon had recruited a team and began experiments on cloning.
Within two months four female wolves were successfully impregnated with a daggit's semen.
Within five years two breeds of daggits were created that could either mate with another daggit or a wolf. Several classes of small rodents were created during their search for a chromosome marker. Dr. Toullon had successfully created a group of clones of several people. However, he would only clone the people that were sterile.
After six years of crossbreeding experiments on a few animals, Dr. Elison began impregnating female primates with human semen.
Any female hybrid was monitored closely and was removed from the primate population just before the female was old enough to get pregnant.
During the passing generations the male hybrid offsprings would be introduced into the wild at the age of thirteen. The female hybrid offsprings were impregnated by human semen at the age of seventeen.
The crossbreeding experiments were taking longer than expected. By the six-generation the human population were a fraction of what they were as when the experiments began. During the seventh-generation their efforts paid off when twin male hybrids were born. One of the twins was born human. The hybrid human was named Kynan. Kynan was removed from the mother and placed among the human population. Three months later a female hybrid human was born among one of the other five classes of primates. She too was placed into the human population.
During the passing years more hybrids humans were being born. Each one was placed among the human population.
Eight years to the date after the first hybrid human was born Dr. Finnian was observing the hybrid primates that were within the garden.
While Dr. Finnian was observing the primates Kynan's twin brother approached him in a cautious manner. Dr. Finnian watched him approached.
"Well happy birthday," said Dr. Finnian. "You are eight years old today."
"Eight ye-years today," said the primate.
"By the lords of Kobol, you can talk," said Dr. Finnian.
"Lor-lor…" said the primate.
"By the lords of Kobol," said Dr. Finnian in a slow manner.
"Ba-By tha lords of Ka-Kobol," the primate repeated.
"You are a bright one," said Dr. Finnian. "Normally we don't give a primate a name, but I will call you Adam."
"Au-Audam," said Adam.
"Adam is your name," said Dr. Finnian as he talked slowly. He then patted his chest. "My name is Finnian."
"My na-name Fin-nan," said Adam as he patted his chest.
In a cautious manner Dr. Finnian started to walk up to Adam. Adam started to back away.
"Adam, I'm not going to harm you," said Dr. Finnian as he stopped walking. "I was just going to show you something."
"Show you Sommthang," said Adam.
"And you are not understanding me at all," said Dr. Finnian. "You are just repeating what I'm saying."
"Re-peat-ting," said Adam.
"Well happy birthday, Adam, I will see you later," said Dr. Finnain as he was backing up.
"Eight years to-day," said Adam.
"You are correct," said Dr. Finnian. He then turned and started walking towards the exit.
After leaving the garden Dr. Finnian went to the cafeteria to grab something to eat. After grabbing the food he sat at the table with Dr. Alba as she was eating. He then started to eat his food without saying a word to her.
"Did I do something to make you mad at me?" asked Dr. Alba.
Dr. Finnian was caught off guard by the question and asked, "What? Oh no, of course not. I was just thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?" asked Dr Alba.
"One of the hybrid primates is able to talk," said Dr. Finnian. Dr. Alba showed a concern look on her face. "I know I'm not supposed to get attached to the primates, but I named that one Adam."
"You named a female primate Adam," said Dr. Alba. She then looked down at her food and started to fidget.
"Adam is Kynan's brother," said Dr. Finnian. He then stared into Dr. Alba's eyes. "So which female primate is able to talk?"
Dr. Alba hesitated for a second and started to fidget a little more. She then said, "That seven year-old female among the Toulon primates is able to talk. I named her Eve. Eve started talking at the age of two."
"Does she only repeat what you say or can Eve actually understand you and hold a conversation?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"Eve can hold a conversation like any human child her age. I taught her myself," said Dr. Alba. "I told her not to speak though in front of other people."
"Alba, how much trouble you think we would get into if we place Adam and Eve together?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"You want to put a Yeti primate in the same containment with a Toulon primate?" asked Dr. Alba.
"Why not. Both of them are mixed with so much human DNA they wouldn't know that they were supposed to show hostility towards either other," said Dr. Finnian. "Besides I think they are still young enough to be placed together even if they didn't have human DNA in them."
"It would be interesting to see what would happen," said Dr. Alba. "We can use the south garden."
"The south garden has a noktrillo tree," said Dr. Finnian. "There would be no telling what would happen if they would eat from that tree."
"They probably get falling down intoxicated, but that won't happen. Eve listens to me," said Dr. Alba.
"I can't say the same about Adam," said Dr. Finnian. "He was never taught how to speak. In fact I just learn that he is capable of speaking."
"Eve will teach him," said Dr. Alba.
"Okay, let me finish my meal and I will go sedate Adam for the transfer," said Dr. Finnian.
Thirty minutes later, Dr. Finnian had given Adam an injection for him to wake up. Dr. Alba and Eve were not too far from Adam. Eve had stopped playing with the ball she had and started to watch Adam as he was waking up.
After seeing Eve, Adam got up and started to look at her in a curious manner.
"Adam, this is Eve," said Dr. Finnian. "Eve, this is Adam."
"Do you want to be my friend?" asked Eve.
"Fur-rend," said Adam.
"Do you want to play ball with me?" asked Eve as she started to step closer to Adam and started to hand him the ball.
Adam started to back away, but then he stopped and took the ball.
"Ball," said Adam.
"Toss me the ball and I will toss the ball to you," said Eve.
"Toss the ball," said Adam.
"Adam, can you give me the ball?" asked Dr. Alba as she squatted down a little bit and reached out her hand. "I will show you how to toss the ball."
Adam hesitated for a moment. He then approached Dr. Alba in a cautious manner and handed her the ball.
"Eve, I'm going to toss you the ball and once you get the ball you are to toss it back to me," said Dr. Alba. Dr. Alba and Eve then tossed the ball back and fourth one time. "Adam, I'm going to toss you the ball."
When Dr. Alba tossed Adam the ball, Adam missed catching it. The ball bounced off of his chest. Adam then picked up the ball.
"Adam, toss Eve the ball," said Dr. Finnian.
Adam and Eve then started to toss the ball back and fourth.
After deciding that Adam and Eve will get along together Dr. Finnian and Dr. Alba left the garden.
During the passing weeks Dr. Finnian; Dr. Alba and the other scientists kept Adam and Eve a secret from the government. Adam's vocabulary also steadily increased.
Four years later, Adam and Eve were hiding as Dr. Finnian was walking into the garden.
"Adam; Eve," Dr. Finnian called out. He then heard moving within the bushes. As Dr. Finnian went to investigate he saw Adam from the chest up as Adam stood behind a tree. "Adam, is everything okay?"
"I'm not wearing any clothes," said Adam.
"Why are you concern about not having any clothes on?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"Dr. Serpent told Eve that we are closed up in the garden away from everyone because we have no clothes," said Adam.
"Dr. Serpent?" asked Dr. Finnian. "You mean Dr. Sebert. What else did he tell you and Eve?"
"He told Eve that the tree you don't want us to eat from bears fruit that can give us knowledge of a lord," said Adam.
"Adam what do you know of a lord?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"I was told that the people like you that comes and goes from the garden freely are my lords and you had created me and Eve from your image," said Adam.
"Adam, Dr. Sebert had deceived you and Eve," said Dr. Finnian. "Where is Eve so I can tell both of you the truth."
"Eve fell asleep after eating from the tree of knowledge," said Adam.
"Adam, that tree will not give you knowledge," said Dr. Finnian.
"Dr. Sebert told Eve that you would not tell us the truth about the fruit of knowledge," said Adam.
"Adam, I will be back, but right now I'm going to take care of a few things with Dr. Sebert," said Dr. Finnian. "When I return I will straighten things out with you and Eve."
Dr. Finnain then left. After a short search Dr. Finnian found Dr. Sebert in the lunchroom. Without hesitating he sat down at the same table as Dr. Sebert. Dr. Finnian had a serious expression on his face.
"I know that look," said Dr. Sebert. "What did I do this time?"
"You haven't been here for a week and you have already angered the entire staff," said Dr. Finnian.
"Again I would like to know what I did," said Dr. Sebert.
"Have you been to the south garden lately?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"I was there earlier today," said Dr. Sebert.
"And when you were there did you tell Adam and Eve that the noktrillo tree was a tree of knowledge?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"That was just a joke I told Eve," said Dr. Sebert. "I didn't think she would believe me."
"Well, you just joke yourself out of a job," said Dr. Finnian. "You have thirty minutes to gather your personal belongings and get out."
"I know what you doing in the south garden is something that you shouldn't be doing," said Dr. Sebert. "So are you sure you want to terminate my employment?"
"You knowing about what we are doing is not going to change my mine," said Dr. Finnian.
"You may not know this, but my brother is married to Pres. Cronus' Daughter," said Dr. Sebert. "So are you sure you want to terminate my employment?"
"I don't care who your relatives are I want you out," said Dr. Finnian as he stood up. "If I see your face in here thirty minutes from now I will toss you out myself." He then started to walk away.
"You're making a big mistake," said Dr. Sebert. Dr. Finnian didn't respond.
After leaving the lunchroom Dr. Finnian went to see Dr. Alba.
Dr. Alba was checking the vitals of a newborn hybrid human when Dr. Finnian was walking in while wearing surgical mask and gloves.
"So how is our newest member of our nation Atlantis?" asked Dr. Finnian.
"He's very healthy," said Dr. Alba. "So why are you here?"
"I just terminated Dr. Sebert's employment for his misconduct," said Dr. Finnian. "He has threatened to reveal our Adam and Eve project. Apparently he knows the right people that can shut our project down."
"We can't split them up now," said Dr. Alba "That would break both of their hearts."
"I have no intention to separate them, but I believe we may have to release them," said Dr. Finnian.
"Release them where?" asked Dr. Alba.
"There is a secluded area not too far from Eden," said Dr. Finnian. "We can take them there. We will then remove all evidence of them being born."
"If Dr. Sebert knows the right people as you claim that won't stop us at being investigated," said Dr. Alba.
"Our facility can withstand a small scandal, but I have no idea at what they would do to Adam and Eve," said Dr. Finnian.
"I'm with you," said Dr. Alba.
After leaving Eden, Adam and Eve were taught on how to survive outside the garden while being on their own. Dr. Finnian and Dr. Alba would even check up on them from time to time; however after five years neither Dr. Finnian nor Dr. Alba were able to get away from Eden for three months. When Dr. Alba was able to check up on Adam and Eve, Eve was showing signs of being pregnant.
Dr. Alba began to visit more frequent so she could examine Eve during her pregnancy. Dr. Alba made certain that she was with Eve when Eve gave birth. When the baby was born, Dr. Alba was a bit surprise when the baby was a healthy human infant. Dr. Alba named the baby Caine.
Dr. Alba stayed with Eve for a few days after the birth. When Dr. Alba did leave Caine remained with his natural parents.
As the years passed Eve gave birth to another human infant. The government of Atlantis was also being shaken up when a clone of Cronus, one of the formal presidents was elected president. A civil war had broken out as a result. The war lasted for a few years with the defeat of Pres. Cronus. Zeus became the new ruler of Atlantis. The city in Mount Olympus had also become the new capital of Atlantis.
In the city of Amoras one of the adult-hybrid-female humans gave birth to the human's first set of identical twins.
Eighty years later the population of Atlantis reached its lowest point. It then began to slowly rise. Small groups of hybrid humans were also being seen where the male hybrid primates were being released.
Pres. Santialeos had the humans outside Atlantis observed; however those humans were left alone. As the Atlantis' crew would observe the humans they noticed that those humans were capable of designing tools and weapons. Those humans were also found to be very territorial. The human hybrids outside Atlantis would kill the primate hybrids for their territory.
Within a thousand years the humans outside Atlantis had wiped out all, but the yeti hybrid primates. The yeti would hide themselves from the humans. The human population inside and outside Atlantis had also grown tremendously.
Onboard the space station, the science crew was tracking the comet Venus. After compiling the data for a five-hundred-year projection Dr. Galika discovered that Venus was going to cross path with Earth. Dr. Galika collected all of the data she and her teem collected. She then went to talk to Pres. Emoci.
"Dr. Galika, what do I owe the pleasure for your visit?" asked Pres. Emoci.
"I'm afraid my visit here is not one of pleasure, but one of concern," said Dr. Galika.
"What are you concern about?" asked Pres. Emoci.
"Pres. Emoci, in approximately four hundred and ten years from now Venus will be crossing pass with Earth," said Dr. Galika. "It is still undetermined of what part of Venus, Earth will cross path with."
"What will happen when Venus cross path with Earth?" asked Pres. Emoci.
"My team had run a several computer simulations," said Galika. "There are several possibilities with three variant conclusions. The worst possibility is that all life on Earth will be destroyed. This will happen if Earth directly collides with Venus. A second possibility is that Earth will cross path with Venus after the main body of the comet passes. If this happens we can expect a severe change in the Earth's eco system. A mass extinction will occur. Volcanoes will start to erupt and seismic activities will begin. Earth's surface will go through a complete change. This is what we believe had happened with the large reptiles so there is a great chance that the human race on Earth will be destroyed. The best possibility is that we will cross path with Venus at the comet's tail. If this is the case we can expect serious meteor storms, severe electrical storms, extremely high tides. Depending on the pollutants that get stirred in the atmosphere from the meteor storms we can expect very harsh and cold days. A percentage of us will be killed during this time, but we will survive."
"Dr. Galika, when will you know at what part of the comet, Earth will come in contact with?" asked Pres. Emoci.
"I personally will never find out," said Dr. Galik. "The generation before the event will be the ones to discover that answer."
"So to prepare for the worst we should start building ships," said Pres. Emoci.
"Unless you are planning to locate the twelve tribes of Kobol, building ships will be a waist of time," said Dr. Galik.
"How so?" asked Pres. Emoci.
"If Venus collides with Earth then Earth will be reduced to a dead planet in the best case possibility," said Dr. Galik. "If Earth's eco system is change after missing a direct collision then Earth will be unlivable for humans for two or three hundred years; possibly even longer. Could we survive living in space for that long?"
"A thousand years ago we escaped from a predetermined fate and now we face another one," said Pres. Emoci.
"I'm afraid this one is going to be more of a challenge to overcome," said Dr. Galik. "
"Thank you, Doctor," said Pres. Emoci.
As the years slowly passed a pyramid was constructed. Records of the humans' time on Earth were inscribed in the pyramid. Spaceships were also being constructed to help save the population.
Approximately three hundred and fifty years later, a more precise projection of Venus' destructive force was made. Earth will cross path with Venus closer to the end of the comet's tail. Earth's eco system is expected to go through a subtle change. Severe storms with flooding along with shifts in the oceans were predicted. As the humans in Atlantis prepare for the comet, a scientist who was observing the humans outside of Atlantis had warned those humans. A design specification for an ark was also given to those humans.
When Earth was only months away from crossing Venus' path, Atlantis was abandoned. The population filled the ships they had in orbit. As the scientists watched the catastrophe of Earth take place, numerous of large meteors from Venus' tail had inconceivably altered course by the Earth's gravitation and into a direct path towards the ships. The commanders of each ship quickly made an evasion maneuverable. As they try to escape, twenty-five percent of the ships were destroyed. The remaining ships were severely damaged. Sixty percent of the surviving ships were able to crash their ship on Earth with a small percentage of fatalities; however they were all scattered on Earth.
As the years slowly passed, portions of the scattered survivors would establish a settlement or join a primitive settlement. The advanced technology that they had before the destruction of Atlantis was now gone.
During the passing generations the knowledge of Atlantis became a legend. Hundreds of years later the legend became a myth. Knowledge of Kobol had faded and was replaced by the belief that god had created Adam and Eve in his image. This belief continued into our present day.
