Eugenics a New World is Created
Part 52
Harry Truman sighed with annoyance. He had thought that the situation in the dessert would subside quickly. He had never dreamed that one of the local towns would seek to exploit the crash. He was rapidly begging to hate the name Roswell. He set down the New York Herald and picked up the LA Inquisitor. It seemed that the UFO theory and craze had gone national. He sighed and picked up his coffee trying to decide how to deal with this unexpected problem. Even as he sipped his coffee his aid came in.
"Mr. President there is a call for you. It seem news of the UFO's have reached Moscow and London. The president and prime minister are on lines one and two respectively."
Harry swore and decided he would have to give the world leaders more than the weather balloon story. The problem was he had no idea what to tell them. Just then the telephone on his desk rang. With a sigh he picked it up. Of course it was Mestral.
"It seems we have many reporters in the area Mr. President. I have been questioned. It seems that the reporters think perhaps it was a rocket test that failed. While I find the idea of lying discomforting perhaps we could as Maggie says tell a white lie? After all it is not a total falsehood as the ship my people arrived on was experimental. Maggie seems to think that keeping the "white lie" close to the truth will serve us best. It is clear we must give the public more than it was a weather balloon. I have also heard that our allies and adversaries are concerned. This explanation may be enough to smooth things over." Mestral paused then continued. "Vulcans do not lie but we have been known to with hold information when deemed appropriate. I would say protecting my people is such a case."
"Mestral if you are willing to go along, well it could solve a lot of issues at least with those in power. I am not so certain I wish to tell the general public that but....the world leaders that is another thing. Yes, it was a rocket failure. It will set the British prime minister's mind at ease and let the Russian president gloat. It will work I am sorry you will have to be involved." Harry knew Mestral did not lie. However , he also knew that the Vulcan wanted to protect his people. Sometimes you did things you hated as a leader. He shuttered as he considered the hard choices he had made. He was not going to let innocents die again and when it came down to it that was what Mestral's people were innocents seeking a new life and freedom. It was no different than any other group that had come to America and he would see them safe. Besides he knew his people would benefit from this and it was the right thing to do.

In Roswell New Mexico the towns people were excited. This UFO thing had the potential to make them a lot of money. Before long there were T-Shirts and photos of aliens. Of course they were all pictures of Hollywood aliens. Short and green and with bubbles for helmets. The color of the aliens was of course green because everyone knew Martians had to be green. It was clear that they could milk this and make a fortune. The rest of the country was rocket happy so maybe just maybe they could put their little town on the map. After all there was that Air Force base in the dessert and it was highly restricted. Yes, this plan would save their little town.
Mestral read the papers and sighed he hated that the world now feared alien invasion. He had watched several movies with his family and he found it highly illogical that humans would consider any visitor hostile. While it was true that not all races were peaceful even the Klingons and Romulans generally were not overtly hostile at first contact. He was shocked to hear Maggie laugh at the sketches of the aliens that the so called Eye witnesses had seen. "Mestral you do not remember do you?"
He raised a brow at that. "I am afraid I do not understand Maggie?"
"When that reporter at the rocket launch he asked what you thought aliens might look like. He said green with antenna and you said maybe they will be blue. The thing is honey they look like the pictures of those Andorians you were telling me about only they are green. Maybe some of your people intermarried." She was laughing hard.
Mestral looked horrified. Even he was no so certain he wanted IDIC taken to that extent. A Vulcan with Andorians Antennae was just disturbing.
