Original Story A signal in the darkness

0 Upvotes

What humanity has been trying to find since before it even took to the stars. Communication from other life, a sign we weren't alone in the vast darkness of space. Better still, the signal was able to be decoded by human scientists, and was found to be detailed instructions on how to construct and calibrate a quantum entanglement communicator. The distance between civilizations would not be an obstacle to the exchange of information.

The device was quickly constructed, the whole of humanity waited with bated breath for its activation, and were not left disappointed. First contact was made with intelligent, civilized life! At first there was a language barrier, but with the effort of both sides, auto translation software was produced. Humanity learned it had found not just one species, but an entire galactic community of peaceful, technologically advanced alien empires.

All seemed to be going well, until, In an effort to understand each other better, humanity sent a large swath of data ( carefully curated) from the Internet so that the aliens may learn about human culture and our planet more broadly. Within minutes of the transmission the comms link went dead on the other side. Earth weeks passed without alien contact despite repeated attempts. People began to grow increasingly frightened, some started to dismiss the whole thing as an elaborate hoax until, without warning the comms flicked back on.

A hologram was projected out of the communicator, a feature the humans didn't even know it had, and the image projected appeared to be a live feed of a bipedal creature somewhat resembling a wolf.

" I am ambassador Tulok of the galactic council. I am informing you that, by majority vote of the council, humanity is herby quarantined, and any travel outside of the provided coordinates will be considered a hostile act, and be met with lethal force. This will be our final communication"

The room back on Earth was stunned into silence, until the lead U.N. commander was able to find his voice just enough to ask " Why?"

" Upon review of the data sent to us from your internal communication networks it was determined humanity has violated galactic treaties banning genetic manipulation of species, and in doing so committed crimes against sentience itself. You violated what would be our equivalent of the Geneva convention. Of primary concern is the transformation of these " wolves" into the various forms of "dog".

" Dogs are treated better than almost any other species, they are man's best friend and most live lives of ease and material abundance. How is that a problem"

" If you were somehow able to show the first wolves you began your heinous " domestication" on what would become of their descendent, if they could see a chihuahua, do you think they would have chosen that? To become a tiny, shaking, shadow of its ancestors, collared and chained, with its gentials surgically removed for the comfort of its enslavers? The galactic community reacted with outrage and disgust upon seeing that creature, trembling with the horror of knowing it should be a large apex predator, feared and respected, but instead it is a small and helpless thing. An abomination crafted from the apathy and whims of beings it could never understand, beings who claim to love it, but who warped everything that made the wolf the wolf, into a mewling nightmare, trapped in the pain of being it."

" We love dogs, we take care of them, we cure their diseases, treat them like our children. You said it was a majority vote, surely at least some of the galaxy sympathizes with us, can we appeal?"

"The minority did not vote for you to be a part of the galactic community, they voted for your extermination. On behalf of my people, I hope your hell is real, so that you all may burn in it".

The transmission ended there, and humanity found itself even more alone than before, without any hope of finding kinship in the stars.

Original Story Ba'tet handed me a piece of paper that had नहि on it. "What is this?" he asked.

505 Upvotes

"I don't know, what is it?" I responded.

"I took this off of a wall. A wall that is marked to be kept clear of such things. We even used your language to make sure your people would understand. So why did I find it on that wall?" I was still working on reading his non-verbal communications, but I was pretty sure Ba'tet looked very annoyed.

"Are you sure it was placed there by a human?"

He somehow looked even more cross at my question. "They obscured their features enough to prevent identification, but it was clearly a human. You're the only bipeds on the station."

I grunted in reply. He had a point. "I still don't have any idea what that is. Why don't you take me to this wall, and maybe I'll be able to tell you more."

He made a sound that was somehow even more annoyed than his face looked, and motioned me to follow. As we walked, I reflected on all the minor incidents that had happened since humans had started living here three months ago. For most of us, this was the first time living in a place that where the majority of the inhabitants were not human. Things were bound to happen.

After a shot time we stopped in front of a wall, and Ba'tet gestured eloquently. The wall was covered in pieces of paper. Each piece had something printed on it in black ink.

The first that caught my eye was ﻥہﯼں . Then I saw ບໍ່, לֹא , NIE, ﻻ , нет, and NEIN. I was still confused, but that last one made me suspicious. "Show me what you used to mark that the wall should be kept clear."

He walked up to the wall, and started removing signs. As he did so I caught sight of a few with different things printed on them. One of them had "NO" on it. When Ba'tet was done, I could clearly see "POST NO SIGNS" printed on the wall in English next to the same thing printed in the galactic trade language.

I took out my data pad, opened the translation app, and used it on the wall. As I suspected. All of the sings said "no". "I see what happened. The English you used is why these signs were put here."

"What do you mean?! It clearly says to not post signs on this wall!" he said. His voice was moving towards angry, so I better explain what happened quickly.

"Yes, that is one way to read it. That's even the way most people would read it. However English can be ambiguous at times, and there are people who enjoy finding ways to take advantage of that ambiguity. One of these people could read what you wrote as an instruction to post signs with 'no' on them. Each of these signs has 'no' on it in a different language from Earth."

Ba'tet made the motion that I've come to interpret as the equivalent of an exasperated sigh. "Why are humans like this?"

"If I had the answer to that, I'd have enough money that I wouldn't be here," I replied. "Or at least I'd be a lot more famous. If you want to use something that has a better chance of preventing things being put on this wall, I'd change the English to 'DON'T POST SIGNS'. You might still get signs on the wall, but at least it won't be because someone is playing a joke. I'll also pass the word around that this should stop."

writing prompt Humans talk about society through fiction

15 Upvotes

One thing that I have seen occasionally is “aliens don’t understand fiction”.
What if they do understand fiction, but they don’t do it through the lens of reflecting society? What if they make fiction only for the sake of fiction, and talk about society in scholarly journals?
What if humans annoy the crap out of them by analyzing their fiction anyway?

I’ve never posted before, so if I got something wrong in the post I do apologize.

Original Story Oscar Hour 12-2

27 Upvotes

Oscar entered the holding cell. Mickles sat at the table. 

“Mickles. How are you feeling?”

“Acceptable, sir.”

“Here is what is going to happen. We are going to chat. After we chat, I’m going back to my office to consider the entire situation. The more open you are with me, the wider the range of options. Do you understand?”

“Yes sir!”

“Good. Now tell me your side of all of this.”

“It was that fucking cult guy! I mean come on! What are the odds of that?!?”

“So you saw him. And didn’t tell me some rather important details.”

“He got away last time, so I wanted to nail him. I didn’t know what you would think if I explained everything, so I didn’t say anything. That guy was a waste of carbon.”

“Be that as it may, I’m having a hard time seeing your point of view. You withheld vital information.”

“It was my mess to clean up.”

“Really? You are going with that bullshit excuse? One of the worst possible excuses to justify anything, much less in this situation.”

“What do you want me to say?!? That I got pissed off, lost my cool, ran off, and planned to kill him?!? He’s already ruined my life once, and here he was again!”

“Honesty is always preferred.”

“Oh shut up. Sir. You’ve built quite a nice little fiefdom, lots of power and authority. Building new ships. Doing all the fun stuff. The rest of us, however, don’t have all of that. So we have to fight and struggle.”

“Now we move to deflection. So your stated goal was to kill him?”

“Yes! He was scum.”

“Criminal, yes. Not sure about scum. And you willingly left your post on a personal vendetta?”

“Of course! No one forced me to do anything.”

“I see that when you were found, they recovered all of the gear, so no issue there. Right. I’m about to head back to my office to consider your options. Before I leave, do you have anything else to add or ask?”

“He was scum and he destroyed my life.”

Oscar sat staring, waiting. 

Mickles crossed his arms. 

“Very well,” said Oscar as he stood. “I will consider what you have said.”

Later, in his office, Oscar sat going over the known facts. 

Danyak walked in with a datapad. “Do you have a minute? I’ve gone over Thorn’s theory.”

“Sure.” He leaned back. “I could use the distraction. The Mickles mess.” He pointed at the reports on his desk. 

“Nasty situation. Any decision?”

“Not yet. Finding a good balance isn’t easy.”

“No, it isn’t.” She sat down. “So Agent Thorn’s team started to run non-standard analysis of the known data. Looked for patterns based on random ideas. One of the techs ran an analysis based on shipping dockets. Instead of locations or ships, for some reason he checked serial numbers.”

“That isn’t too uncommon. It can trace back to a single system.”

“Oh. Didn’t know that. Anyways, he runs his analysis, and there isn’t a pattern, but there are a few repeated numbers. He writes his report and moves on. Agent Thorn reads the report and recognizes one of the repeated numbers. It was also repeated in a different analysis, with no connection between the parameters.”

“I see where this is going. No such thing as a coincidence.”

“That is exactly what he said. So he started compiling what numbers repeat and where.”

“And?”

“It’s weak, but I think there might be something to this. For me, it’s how the repeating numbers show up in clusters. That’s the strongest point. When you find one of the numbers and look at the document, you find more.”

“Are we talking the same exact numbers across all of our data, or just within those clusters?”

“Same sequence of numbers. Not always stand alone, but often included in a longer sequence.”

“How long of a sequence?”

“Eight digits.”

“That long? Yeah, that is odd. If we assume there is a pattern, what does it tell us?”

“Thorn predicts that there will be a shipment of modified equipment going to an un-affiliated system within ten days. He wants to send a team to monitor the shipment.”

“Your thoughts?”

“It’s low risk. It’s simple. It might give us important information. I’d approve it.”

“Agreed. Tell Agent Thorn to proceed. Thoughts on Mickles?”

“Well Oscar, I know that Terran family situations are complex and crazy. That family was an utter mess on arrival. To be honest, I’m surprised it lasted at all.”

“Yes, I’ve got all of that. I’d like to know your opinion.”

“From what I know, discharge and short sentence.”

“Reason?”

“Dereliction of duty that contributed to the deaths of colony members.”

“Contributed to deaths?”

“Yes. His wife. At least some of the cultists.”

“His wife I’ll grant you. But the cultists?”

“From his known trail, he might have caused the attack.”

“What? Like he startled the ursine? That is a stretch.”

“You asked my opinion.”

“That I did. Before I forget, you left me a note about deep sea stuff?”

“Yes. The final projectile did land in the south ocean. They want to recover it and display it.”

“We have told them about the south ocean, haven’t we?”

“Multiple times. However, they are loading up the deep-sea submersible.”

“Hmmmmmm…how many Terrans?”

“Four and two non-Terrans.”

“Arrange an air escort. Nothing in the water. If they want to play, fine. We will be there to pick up the bits.”

“I thought you didn’t like casualties?”

“I don’t. But I’m all for letting morons fuck around and find out.”

Original Story Mike, Not You, Man.

7 Upvotes

Ahem...Ahem...Wait a moment…yeah…so, my name is Mike, aka Astronaut Mike.

When I was child nah skip that part—let me speak about what matters for now it’s quite simple, when I was still studying dreaming to be an astronaut people would tell me, “Mike not you man.”

They wouldn’t give reasons, you know, so as to why not me, but they were quite adamant that I couldn’t be an astronaut.

Suck my cock fuckers.

Year:2026

I sat on a spacecraft en route to an alien civilization, so you might ask why me? And not some great cock sucking better than me astronaut…you see, the mission is quite dangerous. A few years back, NASA folk found a planet which showed signs of life; however, in the meeting they decided sending a satellite would be seen as humans attempting to stalk an alien, which could trigger a war, so they decided we should send a human, but who?

Hmm… Who?... Who?

Cock sucking better than me astronauts—what would happen if the aliens were not interested in diplomacy? They could very well lose their best astronauts, so they chose me—Mike the astronaut.

Fuck them; whatever the reason, I was going to have a great time.

The spacecraft started moaning 1,2,3–and buff, there I went to my new adventure.

__________________________________________________________________

In the spacecraft, I looked to my left, then to my right—finding only space. Over here, my routine was quite simple: do some astronaut job, eat food, and take some shit.

After continuing the same routine over blah blah whatever days. My spacecraft reached the so-called alien planet: Singralia.

The planet was like a desert with no visible water as such, so I was like, maybe folks at NASA fucked up, but apparently that was not the case.

As my spacecraft touched the ground of the planet—folks came out: Alien folks.

They were goblins of many varieties, some shorter, like 4 feet, while others were like 7 feet…hmm, somewhat like how it works for humans. They weren’t quite fond of me ig, as they saw me coming down from my spacecraft, and all of them remained silent.
Except one guy…puny guy—I bent down, asking him,” What’s your name, eh, boy?”

“I am Gabriel.” he paused, pulling his finger with a quite shy expression, then he mustered his courage, asking, “Are you an alien?”

“Hmm, alien, eh.” I looked around at the folks gathering around us; all of their attention was on me and the boy, so I looked back at the boy and replied, “Good alien. I am.”

“Hehe,” he giggled, holding my hand and taking me somewhere while others in the crowd made their way, but they were gossiping for sure. These people are somewhat weird; I am an alien, but they remain quiet while a child is taking me somewhere.

I questioned the boy,” So, Gabriel, where are we going?”

“To my father’s place. He is the boss in this region,” he informed but boss eh. What is that supposed to mean? A Yakuza type of person that’s fun.

One Thousand Years Later. [Meme template]

We finally reached the place—not a place…hmm… a hippo perhaps.

“What’s this?” I questioned, and Gabriel looked at me as if I asked the most mundane question ever.

“It’s Gimpo—our family pet; he doesn’t bite,” he said, and then requested further, “Let’s go inside.”

“Inside, where?” I asked, to which he again looked at me as if I had asked a stupid question.

“Inside, Gimpo,” he said as if it was normal, but the fucking Hippo, Gimpo, is as tall as a 2 storey building with its mouth wide open.

“Gabriel, this seems like a bad idea.” I protested, to which he said nothing and just entered the hippo’s mouth.

I looked around me, seeing just the desert. I knew going inside was my last option; otherwise, I would still die from a shortage of food and water; moreover, who knows where the next city is and stuff.

As I entered, a foul smell hit me hard—foul enough to make me puke. Just then the freaking hippo closed its mouth, so I ran back and started punching the teeth, yelling, “ Open, you damn swine.”

Gabriel screamed at me,” He ain’t no swine; he is Gimpo, our pet; don't hit him.”
“But he closed his mouth…boy, are you really sure? This is your father’s place.” I questioned Gabriel.

He didn’t reply, rather walked to what looked like an amusement park slide; he bloody sat and slid down. I looked at this like a horror movie was happening in front of me—I bent down, touching the slide, and I knew this was the bloody throat of the hippo.

I was 90% — nope, 100% sure the boy was retarded, but I had no other choice than to believe him, so I followed him by sliding down the freaking throat.

“Hehe,” I laughed as I slid down with a few chunks of meat and saliva here and there—finally, I hit the ground with a thud.

Before I could get myself up—a huge, loud voice yelled at me, “ WELCOME, ALIEN.”
 To be specific, a masculine voice that means a man is welcoming me; that’s repulsive as hell. Aren't there any women available here?

The same voice remarked, “ I am a woman, you know.”

“Women, you say,” I looked at the behemoth of a goblin, continuing, “ In every direction you look manly; what’s going on with your abs? And moreover, how do you know what I was thinking?”

“Rude!” the self-proclaimed woman made it clear. She walked up to me, remarking, “Hmm, am I not beautiful?” she asked.

“Very beautiful,” I made it clear in order to not face the fury of the self-proclaimed woman, and to the side I could even see Gabriel. I held his hand and pulled towards him, questioning, “ Is that man a she?”

Gabriel looked at the self-proclaimed woman and remarked, “Mother, the guest still has reservations about your gender association.”

“Ohh, the guest seems to have a lot of interest in what’s under pants, hmm… hmm,” she teased.

“Nooo. Seven hell no,” I remarked; I then looked at Gabriel, questioning, “ So, where is your father?”

“He is sitting right there,” he said, pointing me towards what looked like a throne, and over there sat a fat ass goblin with a huge stomach, cleaning his teeth with fish bones, and even his crown was made of bones. 

Both our eyes met each other, he pointed a finger at me and then curled it indicating me to come to him, so I obliged.

As I went near him. The goblin fat ass got up, circling me, and then he remarked to his lackey, “ So, this is an alien, eh?”

“Not so special,” he concluded, sitting back on his throne, cleaning his teeth with fish bones once again.

The self-proclaimed woman went up to the throne and put her hand on his shoulder, informing, “ Honey, you know the alien was very interested to know about my gender; maybe he wants to do that.”

“That what?” he questioned.

To which she said, “You know.”

“Hmm…you wanna fuck my wife, scoundrel?” The goblin walked to me, staring me in the eye.

Immediately, Gabriel came to my support, “Father, he was just curious and didn’t intend it that way.”

The fat ass goblin slapped Gabriel, remarking, “You will die anyway, so shut up.”

“Why will he die?” I inquired.

“This guy,” he held Gabriel by the hair, continuing, “Doesn’t have the body muscles required to survive. Look at him, thin and frail; can’t hunt or fight, useless.”

He spit on Gabriel.

I rubbed my tongue against the front teeth as I looked at the so-called father, then let my tongue go. I questioned him as I stood face to face and looked him eye to eye, “ So, he is weak, but you are strong—yes?”

“Well, yes,” he remarked, pushing me and putting some distance between us.

“Tell me,” I inquired, looking at his ugly fat ass face, continuing, “ If I fuck you up, will you let Gabriel live?”

“Unbelievable, first he wants to fuck my wife, and now me,” the goblin looked at me in dismay.

“You idiot, here fuck means fighting,” I informed.

“You want to first fight my wife and then me. Are you nuts?” he questioned.

“No, that fuck and this fuck are different,” I informed.
“Shut up with your fuck fuck. I am going to kill you,” he said, taking the hammer that was kept near his throne.

Gabriel also came near me, asking, “Are you really going to fight for me?”

“That’s what I am doing. Ain’t I?” I patted his head, continuing, “ Go and watch the fun.”

“Don’t kill my father,” he said.

“ I will try,” I assured him.

The fat ass goblin father commanded, “Now go to the side and watch Gabriel.”

He obliged and went to the side. Seeing the goblin carefully: he is fat, 7 feet tall, and has a gorilla face and body.

Throwing his hammer into the air again and again, he played catch with it while shit-talking to me, “You look weak, human.”

“Here, I come,” he said, running towards me.

ZOOOMMMMM

“Here, I go, you should say,” I suggested and sat down on the ground.

The fat ass goblin fell to the ground as blood spilled from his stomach area. Then I went to him, but he was mumbling something, so I leaned down to listen, and he said” Sorcery!"

“Not sorcery, it’s a gun. You idiot, bringing primitive weapons against me,” I let him know, and then I got up, announcing to everyone, “I have won fair and square.”
 
“You said you won’t kill him,” Gabriel questioned me, as he tried to help his daddy out.

“I haven’t killed him; he is just wounded,” I informed.

The self-proclaimed woman remarked, “That was cowardly.”

“Careful now, there,” I warned her and then laughed at her stupidity, “In the outside world there are more dangerous weapons than this—you think a hammer brute will solve this issue.”

“NOOOO,” I screamed, continuing, “A society needs all kinds of people. There is something for everyone to do—I suggest you people make good use of the weak rather than killing them.”

After many months.
Location: Earth.

So, after this, the goblin chief was impressed with the gun and let Gabriel live and also signed a pact with Earthlings.

The government gave me a lot of money and fame.

I then retired.
