Chapter 10

4Days to the meeting

(Hello all, Thank you for your support. I hope that you might help me again. I am sorry for writing the story in a hurried pattern. I will try to improve my writing skills.

From now onwards there will be a para for all the races joined.)

These are the species that have joined until now. Humans are creating a ship. merinians ship is being repaired. Hurials have a colony ship. Helios, Canfi & Liquirions Have brought twenty-five ships each. In addition, they have brought a space-station.

This space-station can hold Five colony ships on top floor. Fifty battleships at the bottom. Three platforms in between for various types and sizes. That is the outer ring. For inner part, there were many platforms for landing of small ships and entering the station.

(Think of a mall with parking space. But the design is in circle. Now back to the story.)

IN the morning I got up, freshened and started to move. That’s when I realized my mistake of ordering for a pack up. We were already packed and, in the half, finished ship.

“Shanab, what is the status.”

“Good morning Matty. What would you like to know?”

“Good morning Shanab. I would like to know if we are ready to leave the planet?”

“Mattie, we are already in space and heading towards the space station.”

“What? When? How? Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I am sorry. Last night when you went to sleep. A group of humans from other side tried to invade in our space. They were unsuccessful. All the appointees gathered and ordered me to stay silent and told not to disturb you.”

“Go on. I am not angry, just confused.” With that I got up and headed towards a replicator and got myself a cup of black Columbian coffee. Then he went and sat on the bed to drink it.

Shanab continued the debriefing after I had taken a seat and sipped on my coffee. “According to plan we were going to leave a family on the site. But due to the surprise attack we had to cancel that plan. Instead, we sent a small ship with Debu.

His mission was to bring each and every friend who would join us. It took him a total of three trips to get everyone back safely. According to the last nights calculation we now have 1020 families.”

“What if someone wants to join us, what is the plan for that.”

“For that purpose, we have left a communication device on the surface. It is placed in the spot of our departure.”

“Good, now do not tell anyone that I am awake on your own. Only tell them my location when asked.”

“Affirmative sir, anything else.”

“Nothing, Thank you.” With that I got up placed the cup in a recycler and got out of the room. I requested Shanab to direct me towards communication room.

Now where do I stand. Geeta is being chosen as symbol of humans and skippy as merinians. I am sure sita will be a representative of some other race. Where do I stand.

While this was all going on in my head, I never realized that I was sitting in a chair in the center of communication room. This chair was placed on a platform a little higher than the floor.

Two hours have been passed when I was disturbed.

“Excuse me sir but there is a call from earth. From the devise we left.”

“Put it on the speaker please.”

“You land on the earth right now or else we will find and destroy you. You were ordered to hand over the ship and technology. We were generous enough to let you play with it for a few days.”
