“I'm walking on sunshine!”
Dracula* #quote
Today I played cards again. So far my Pokemon deck has been doing
really well. Quite proud of my dastardly construction. And it
contains some of the funnier cards in the game. (Attacking with
something called Stunfisk is very amusing.) Ah, the game has been
around since I was a young one and it has aged quite gracefully. Many
others there are my age, often bringing their kids. Good to see it
used as a bonding thing for families. One of them had a kid named
Landon, one letter off from my name, what a funny coincidence. (I've
run across a few Landon's in my life but not another Langdon).
The Six Scientists And Their Discovery
A few Professors working overtime did it. All without massive grants
or even the universities knowing. They used their own equipment, made
a lab in one of their houses and got to work. The six humble
Professors, Doctors Rockson, Tinron, Sein, Chang, Darhai, and Walton
figured out a wonderful secret. Three men and three women debated
theories for months on their own free time to discover means to
traveling in space faster than light. And that meant also getting all
the energy needed. They figured out the means to infinite energy.
They celebrated with drinks. A simple random lotto would determine
the listing on credit for everything. Though they were such good
friends, the best of all, that nothing could make them argue. And
they would soon solve so many of the worlds problems. Infinite
energy. Then near infinite land as everyone could now travel faster
than light and settle planets. With infinite energy settling worlds
would be easy. They felt atop of everything.
Then after a flicker of the lights a stranger in a cloak appeared.
He pulled off the cloak's hood with a tentacle to reveal an alien
head with features that the scientists could barely understand.
Things on the creature's face looked like an eyeball and nose but
truthfully was a sensory organ of an inhuman type. The entire head of
the creature was covered in parts that no human ever saw before or
understood. It used telepathy instead of words to communicate with
them.
“I am sorry but you have learned too much scientists. We watch
your race constantly. For amusement but also out of caution. You are
kind but also powerful. And like many races we fear you expanding
your borders. You have already discovered many weapons and
technology. We let you keep those. But you must only stay your
planet. You can't be allowed to expand too far into the stars. It was
foolish of us to let you get a taste with the moon. I have to
execute you now to bury your knowledge. You are not the first and I
reveal this to you to at least help you rest in peace by knowing the
reason for your death. I hope this makes it a little more justified.”
“What?” Dr. Chang was the only one of the scientists that could
manage to create a word.
“Truthfully the philosophy against your expansion is one of my
general people and the government. I'm just following orders. Don't
be too angry with me, I'm just the executioner. It'd be someone
else.”
In the next moment the alien used his telepathic powers to kill all
of them then set up the scene to look like a burglary gone wrong. He
teleported off. He received an order that another planet his species
feared had learned something they deemed to dangerous for them to
know.
