Zakharov awoke the next morning in a cold sweat, and his mind kept flashing back to the previous night. The encounter with the 'alien god' was very frightening for him, especially because he lost all control over every single limb in his body. He poked himself in the arm to make sure that he was alive, and then he stepped out of his bed. The main screen was flashing as he awoke, so he decided to activate the governor for the base. It was Morgan on screen again. Astonished at Morgan's newfound ability to put his greediness aside, Zakharov acknowledged the message, and Morgan's face appeared on the screen.
"Ah, Zakharov, good morning! And it looks as though you just woke up…because of some obvious reasons." Morgan chuckled lightly to himself, and cleared his throat.
"Yes, as for that…I just might take Einstein's idea and not bother with my physical appearance." Zakharov noted, annoyed with Morgan's attitude.
"Ah, a prudent idea. More time for work, I guess. Anyway, it's down to business. Anyway, Brother Lal has contacted me in the past few hours, and he has claimed to have seen an 'alien god'." Morgan said, his eyes rolling."
"What utter nonsense. This being, it has no physical body. It contacted me last night, and the effects of the contact are very strange, and frightening. I am sorry, for I have no time to chitchat this morning. Zakharov out."
Zakharov returned to his room, and turned on the visual transmitter, otherwise known as a 'TV' in Earth's 20 and 21st century. He pressed a button on the transmitter, and Morgan Industries ch. 212 came upon the screen. He left the transmitter on, and walked over to his desk. Since Planetfall, Zakharov had been trying to understand the human brain, and had been trying to unlock its secrets. He quickly overlooked his notes, and noticed an error in his notes. He erased the earlier mark, and changed the sequence to 'Cmt+Mc2'. The paper rose out of its place, and turned into a little book. The book had the title, 'Secrets of the Human Brain', and Zakharov looked bewildered at the book. He looked at the 'current' planetary datalinks, and discovered that he had just unlocked the technology, which had the same title as the book. Then, Zakharov's muscles froze, and he collapsed to the floor.
"earthzakharov…the information you have just transmitted to we is appreciated…you must defend mankind from we…we will DESTROY all animals, including earthzakharov…intruders of planet must be DESTROYED…"
Zakharov regained consciousness minutes later, and he rose in a cold sweat. The main screen was blinking again, and it held the message 'Deidre wishes to contact. Accept?' Zakharov pressed 'Yes', and Deidre's face appeared on the screen.
"Why, hello Zakharov. You remain the most brilliant mind of us all. I am Lady Deidre, and I insist you must stay out of my affairs with Planet." Deidre said.
"What a nice greeting Deidre, as I am Zakharov. Now, why are you so involved with Planet?" Zakharov questioned.
"It all depends, my friend. If we understand Planet, we alone can hold supreme power amongst Planet and its inhabitants. As for other matters, I have had a voice address me in my sleep in the past few nights…and I believe this may be the voice of the ruler of Planet. Now, I have no interest in having any sort of friendship with a technology grubbing man, so vendetta be upon you! I will rid you of your information, as you will never try to interfere with other people's matters again. So just shove your theories in your can, and prepare to eat my fury. Deidre out." Deidre concluded.
Zakharov grew furious, because he had done nothing wrong against her, but he addressed his troops to find and wipe Deidre's forces from the planet.
To be continued……
