It was already dark, under the new moon light our twin pair were on their way to home with eyes soaked in boredom, suddenly they noticed a shooting star flashing across the sky like any normal kids they joined hands and whished (plz release us from this boring lifestyle) as they opened their eyes the shooting star changed direction and crashed landed on the nearby hill while causing a huge roar, the twin pair looked at each other smiling while feeling the shockwave.
“We found something interesting” (Sam)
“U are right it changed direction midway can’t be a meteoroid” (Alex)
“Maybe an escape pod from space station?”(Sam)
“I don’t think so even escape pods cant change direction midway plus the size of explosion is too small ,it must have decelerated before hitting the ground”(Alex)
“But that’s not possible” (Sam)
“I know” (Alex)
As soon as they finished their conversation they rushed to the crash site.
Local police was fast to react the whole hill was sealed and was now under surveillance but they were not fast enough to seal it before our twin pair sneaked in. As the police were waiting for military and science division of the government our twin pair were making their way to the crash site on the hill.
When they reached the crash site they saw a spherical shaped jet black ball roughly the size of the basketball was floating above the small crater. The ball suddenly started moving and closed the distance between them.
“Greetings, I am an A.I created by the humans of planet earth u can also call them ancients” (A.I)
Twins were dumb folded as they looked at each other.
“A.I? U are from another planet?”(Sam)
“Correct” (A.I)
“If u are an A.I from another planet how do u know our language” (Alex)
“The ancients studied all life forms in the galaxy and deciphered their languages long time ago; I have data about every language in this galaxy in my data banks” (A.I)
“So what are u doing on our planet” (Alex)
“I am tasked with the job of educating the life forms of this planet to reach space age and help them to break the light barrier”(A.I)
“But why now if they didn’t interfere before why do it now” (Sam)
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
“I am sorry but alas I am the bearer of bad news” (A.I)
As the twin pair tried to understand the meaning behind his words the A.I continued.
“Ancients are at war with another race for hundreds of years but 5 years ago Ancients and their 3 allies suffered crushing defeated by the enemy (we call them Invaders). Ancients had the upper hand in terms of technology but the Invaders have huge numbers. As far as we know they are some sort of parasitic race they capture and lay eggs in other organisms and control them ,the more habitable planet they concurs more their numbers became and more ships they build . Currently they are after the technology of ancients. Ancients had no other choice but to retreat to their own galaxy but in doing so your own galaxy is wide open to the Invaders so the Ancients scouted your galaxy again 1 year ago for advanced civilizations which can be taught to reach space age to protect themselves and aid in halting their advance until new fleets are build and ready to engage them” (A.I)
“How long do they expect us to hold them here” (Sam asked nervously)
“6 years” (A.I)
“Are u kidding” (Sam)
“It will take them at least 6 years to build 20,000 battleships and 5,000 destroyers” (A.I)
“Are u serious why would they need so many ships” (Sam)
“The enemy have 50,000 battleships and 10,000 destroyers, 5000 frigates, 7000 cursers” (A.I)
“No way” (Sam)
“No wonder they suffered defeat, how many ships did ancients had in previous battle 5 years ago” (Alex)
“Ancients had 1 capital ship, 1,051 battleships, 530 destroyers and 763 small ships while total allied forces of all 4 races were 4,576 battleships, 2,404 destroyers and 3,465 small ships and 4 capital ships. They were successful in halting invaders 20,764 battleships but allied forces were left with 3 capital ships in which 2 were badly damaged and 1 was crippled”(A.I)
“So they were saved by technological gap huh, By the way how much time do we have until they reach this galaxy or are they already here?”(Alex)
“No they have not reached here their hyper drives are lot slower then ours and the ancients have build 5245 defence stations on the outskirts of the galaxy with genrators to disrupt hyper drives forcing them to come to normal space. This disturbance field have radius of 3 light years and station are place to barricade them from this galaxy. If one wants to travel to this galaxy they have to either go around the field or travel 3 light years on sub light engines and destroy the station. Unit now Invaders have never used any tactics and only fought battles straight on so we calculate it will take them 4 years to break through the defence stations”(A.I)
“Do u really thinks we can stall them for 2 years?”(Sam)
“Honestly no idea” (A.I)
“Sound fun” (Alex)
“Huh?”(Sam and A.I)
Sam and A.I looked shocked hearing Alex’s answer and watching his evil smile. Sam understood the meaning behind his smile.
“A.I how much time will it take u to teach someone everything in your databank” (Sam)
“4 years to an average person and 3 to a above average if the person in question study hard everything I teach 12 hours a day”(A.I)
“A.I can u teach me and Sam everything, I have an awesome idea, can u come with us rather than government” (Alex)
A.I seem wanted to reject because it be more productive if government start working on this but he saw something in Alex’s eyes and accepted his offer even he didn’t knew why.
As soon as their conversation ended they could hear soldiers walking towards the crash site. Alex quickly took out paper wrote something and threw it on the crash site and walked towards the A.I and the A.I cloaked itself and made its way off the hill wile caring the twins.
After 2 minutes a group of soldiers and scientists came to the crash site but all they found was a piece of paper as a soldier picked it up and read it out loud “I AM BORROWING IT FOR 2 YEARS HOPE U DONT MIND EVEN IF U DO I DONT MIND”
