I was taken aback with fascination with the way the 2nd generation has grown to suffice themselves. Their technology, though artificial and bounded, has developed into a very intricate one. We held no hope in them for they had lost everything that would show them the ways of yore but some are still alive who try to adhere to the old ways from whatever remains they discovered. My team has recently come upon some of them who are trying to adhere to the rules of old. Those we followed long ago.

Our technology was derived from the truths of the universe. Everything that is perceived, has an explanation to it. There are factors that govern everything. At first we didn’t understand it well at all, but over time with the right advancements, solid truths were assimilated and thus we grew, hand in hand with everything around. We try to maintain a perfect balance with everything, the elements, the ethereals, and the polyfrequency realms that exist. Our perceptions and our bodies evolved over time to strengthen our equilibrium with everything else. There are many, highly regarded ones who are gods of their respective realms. For you see, there is a system that defines everthing that exists, and to see through and be one with the system allowed for a few very talented individuals to gain control of the systems. For the power that lies in matter is massive, and to gain control of the hidden powers meant real power. Power that was unforeseen by any. Powers beyond our wildest imaginations, and one thing led to another and thus a lot of secrets were uncovered and domesticated. But there are few who are strong enough to influence the system. These powerful individuals comprise the council of elders.There were such individuals who were unfortunately left behind on earth. Our studies and monitoring so far have resulted in findings with which we are able to understand their vast realm of life.

Other things aside, the majority of them seem to live artificial lives, bound to material comforts, oblivious to the truth, oblivious to themselves, their purpose, oblivious to their grand journey. They have started living shorter and shorter lives. It pains me that so many lives are lived without meaning, without purpose, without knowing good from bad, totally awry of the truth.

With the contact we made with that certain group of 2nd generation humans, came a lot of interest and curiosity and funding from our organizations. But as abruptly as we started getting their signals, it stopped around a month ago, which is approximately 6 months ago on Earth.
I do not know what happened to our humans, whether good or harm came to them. Maybe somebody on Earth also intercepted their signals and did something to stop them. Our scout ships had been dispatched to watch out for any signals or signs of our human correspondents, but so far, nothing has been found. The scouts did come to face growing difficulties in and around Earth’s gravitational zone and for safety issues our scout ships keep away from the populated areas. Since then, status-quo.

The scouts did turn up with a lot of information that was sent to the Council of Intelligence. Since then the council has held their silence with respect to Earth. Earth is in a sorry shape. Though technological marvels have rocketed the 2nd generation quite far in a short time, the equilibrium of life is swaying. With the massive growth rate and growing needs, they have forgotten the ways of old and are ravishing the planet. Its only a matter of time before they face judgement day.Our council of intelligence is in consideration of an evacuation. Else we shall have to leave them to their doom. It is now only a matter of time.

With every passing day, their climate gets hotter. Their atmosphere gets thinner. Their supply of oxygen is vanishing at a steep rate since their only source of natural oxygen, the botanical reserves are vanishing. They are so obsessed with making way for life that they don’t consider their ways of present that will reflect on their future. The scouts did report that many countries(as they call political regions) are taking up the responsibility to reform to a greener habitat, and yet others are sealing their fate.

There have been advancements though in an individual level on Earth.
Quasmas are the mappings of all the frequencies that overlap the realms and parallel universes, showing the true co-ordinates of space in the universe. Any abnormalities in the equilibrium frequencies show up as dents and dots and ripples in the immediate vicinity of the true positions of entities. The Quasma scans were a great delight to our department. It has proved that true advancements are taking place on Earth. Our Quasma scans have proof of individuals who have started creating wormholes(as they call the universal doorways) and others who have been able to harness the power of time. And yet others who are getting powerful enough to start effecting and manipulating their worlds. This is good news since that improves the chances of them acquiring communication over the universes and the different levels in the hierarchy of life.

Earth and Pitrangea(Our planet) harbor life in its bottom most levels. There are many planets out there that harbor life in different stages of existence and advancements. Not all are friendly. Some of them are so technologically advanced that they are nomadic, able to sustain life through their technology while on the move scouring for resources and knowledge to thrive on. Most races stick to one planet and live harmoniously on the planet. There are races that rule solar systems. There are yet others that rule galaxies together.

We are neither the most peaceful nor the most ravenous. We are mentally and technologically advanced enough to keep out of confrontations. If we encounter invaders, we use our mental powers to shield neural detection and have the technology to avoid invaders in our vicinity. This is how we have survived, and this is how we shall continue to survive.
To thrive. To Justify. To Control. To Learn. To exist…

To be able to reunite the two generations has been a dream of mine long jaded. It is not likely that we would break silence, for they are not yet ready for us. Few among them would understand our ways. Only a few would keep things safe, and those few are the ones not to be compromised. For many reasons, things shall have to be contained until the right time.
The biggest storms come without warning they say and so true it is in our case. There is no need for intervention as long as their neighboring planets slumber, to hide what they contain would only buy time for Earth. For they are hardly aware of their neighbors. If only they’re prepared for revelations facing them. The future holds a lot in store…

Here, we eat livers. Cannibalism isn’t a sole domain of some German net-addict or someone from the tribes of Papua New Guinea. We are at it too and the world should stand up and listen. The developed world should take note that we are also capable of producing serial-killers and weirdos. In fact the cannibal, killer-couple lives within a few kilometers of my house, so practically we are neighbours for all out-worldly purposes. If this eating people thingy is caught by the popular fancy then this could be the excerpt of future talks:

‘It’s really cold today.’
‘Ya, it is … come let’s catch a child and eat some liver.’
‘Heya kid! Look I’ve got chocolates for you…’

I also did some planning and now am turning to meat eating. It’s hightime, really. The other day I was out for a party and the only thing a vegan could find was ‘paneer’ and going by strict vegan rules that too isn’t vegan enough. Seriously speaking, I could have been starved but thanks to few vodka shots and bits of barbecued-then-microwaved paneer, I was saved.

It was this experience which made me analyse my eating habits and I did some good solid research. And I concluded that I should hit back at all the animals which were hitherto saved from my wrath. Grrrr…!!! And mind you I said animals, just in case any one got confused.

I guess my tea is ready.

What is more pitiable? Having forgotten how to love or having never known it?
