Chapter 5
“The reason for our good fortune is your acceptance of their presence. Thus, making the promise of alliance till the human existence. Even I am in shock that they have such a huge fleet.”
“Sarah, I know that in our solar system there are eight planets, but what is the largest number of planets in a system.”
“Geeta the least planets in a solar system are seven and most are twenty.”
“Hmmm, according to our earlier discussion with the Liquirions. All other friends are expert in one field or another. What are Merinians and Kramponians expert in, and can you identify the expertise of us humans.”
“Sita, Kramponians were expert in cloning. They could clone anything within a few minutes, weather it may be a living being or non-living thing. That is the only reason we were defeated. The reason for the war and our expertise is the same. And I am not proud of it.”
“Sarah, we won’t judge you nor we have the right.”
“Mattie, the thing is that Merinians are expert in creating the AI’s. We can create any size of an AI’s and function for any purpose. We can fit a mech/small ship with an AI. When Kramponians came to us with the request of the biggest AI we declined. They were even ready to pay our excess payment.”
“The reason for declining their request is their specialization and their nature. They took it as an insult and left with the promise of extermination. They were true to their words and we were nearly wiped out. I can’t say exactly about the enemy. Either we were successful in killing all the Kramponians. Or there are still some out there in the universe licking their wounds. And creating another army as we speak to search and destroy.”
“As for the specialty of the humans, it is reverse engineering. I say this because until now no one was able to create a ship from the destroyed scrap. Humans are the first species that gathered the parts of the ship and created one of their own.”
“Ok, I have a question though. First, I didn’t know how we were going to create the whole ship. According to our previous discussion we were going to create it. With the help of the knowledge stored within your data centre. Now we are getting everything from the experts. Now our ship will be one of a kind. Is it possible to share this knowledge with others and create a whole elite army.”
“It all depends on their thinking and acceptance. I do not understand the meaning of an elite army. Can you explain that to me Skippy.”
“What I am saying is that not only our ship but every species that comes to us and help should get the same benefit. Let’s say that we create a new alliance and make some rules. Is there any way to create this alliance. In our ancient time we used to create a website and start a group. it extended by people joining.”
“It is easy Skippy, there is a guild out there, where we have to register the start of our alliance. The only need is that there should be two species involved. Now we have three, humans, I as the representative of Merinians and Liquirions.”
“Sarah is our presence known to this guild?”
“Yes Mattie, the moment we entered your solar system. We registered your species, as primitive sentient life form. After that when we were successful in the war. I updated the results and the possibility of you being a space faring species.”
“Okey, Sarah first updates our situation with the guild. And don’t forget to mention about the division of human race. If possible, please send the whole report about the other half. For example, their strength, number of ships, their new destination and any plans you can find.”
“That is easy Skippy, give me a minute. They are like an open book.” Actually, it took five minutes to compile the report and send it to the guild. While they were waiting for the reply from the guild Rakesh entered the room.
“Guys you should come out and see this for yourself, there are many spaceships in the sky hovering above us.”
At the same time Anna spoke up.” Liquirions are requesting permission for landing”.
They told her to give the permission and exited the room for welcoming them. Soon two ships were descending. The first emotion they received from Sarah was surprise and a gasp. All four of them understood that the destroyed ship was the Merinian ship. As soon as they saw the condition of ship Geeta gave a command.
