“I tell you we cannot risk it at any cost A-8”, said B-6. “But they are quite few in number what do you expect of them; our devastation speak up”, spoke A-8. “Don’t you know the cause of there invasion and this war, stop being in their favour and supporting them I seriously don’t expect you to be ignorant of it,” spoke B-6. “What do you think you’ll achieve by killing these innocent humans; now not even a hundred of them are left,” spoke A-8. “I’ll tell you all about first let me dispose them of their hellbound life,” saying so the octitian i.e. B-6 lifted his infrared shooter and went to release the last of the humans they had caught the day before. Meanwhile the humans who were captured in the slaughter house began ravaging in anger at the octitians, aliens for them and soon enough they perished after the switch of the shooter was pressed and the noise of the commotion fell back. A-8 not liking the seen of destruction tuned his head what actually looked like a cube with two pores through which they rather gained energy by absorbing sunlight. B-6 returned a minute after atomizing their bodies. He saw the sober look in A-8’s eye’s or rather the light detectors present where humans generally have their chin. B-6 broke the silence after what seemed like a century, “Well do you really think what I did was harsh then you should listen to me before forming an opinion on the matter, it all began with us discovering the gold plated plaque on board the unmanned spaceship Voyager 2 we at first were unable to make head or tail of it as we like them had never imagined that there could be life on another planet perplexed we started investigating it and after we were sure that it was on no accord harmful to us we allowed our investigator’s to work on it and patiently awaited fruitful results. That was what we account for the devastation of this human race that we discovered that waves of a definite pattern were sent deep into the vast space we when further tried to investigate the cause of the waves one on the investigator’s of us following the path of wave and he believed that we would end up uncovering the truth behind it. Our air force prepared itself for the mission. I believe you are fully equipped with the knowledge that their air force and astronomy departments are separate and also that they have various forms of government in different parts of their planets.” A-8 answered in the affirmative and then B-6 went on to vocate “Our planet is a peaceful one so we have a single government ruling over our planet and also we have ourselves equipped with an air force which acts to save our planet from meteoroids. Our vehicles can travel at any speed including the speed of light which defies some Einstein’s law on this planet which until our contact was considered true. Therefore we followed the path taken up by them i.e. the energy waves and ended up discovering a new solar system completely new to us it had 8 planets encircling its star unlike ours in which we are the sixth and the last thus they denoted us by the word octits meaning people from the planet with the last orbit. We tried each planet for existence of life and we tested them for oxygen as we also breathe in it like they here do, we at last reached the destination without further problem but grave doubts surrounded our minds when we at first tried to contact them some of us were of the opinion that these organisms might be dangerous to interact with and tried to refrain the commander of the craft Octore H-3 from probing deeper into the blanket of air around the planet but brave as he was, he took the risk and went in to contact them. First when we landed it seemed so strange that so many organisms could live on this one planet and sooner they realized that they were selfish enough to fight over basic necessities like air and water. The governments were always fighting and using arms which involved release of high capacity radiation fit enough to kill our peace loving planets in ten ems (3 hours). They had large amount of organisms compared to us and therefore trade began with us providing them with oxygen and they providing us with gems of fine quality. They used to loot some of the gems on the way back to octits and sell it at high rates. Water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen; they used to supply their need of water by artificially creating it. The oxygen used to come from us and hydrogen as you know is abundant in the universe. They not even spared the oxygen brought for them they tried to rob the gas when we used to bring it for them. Such was their greed and nature they had no compassion for others and the other organisms never had a share of the gas we sent to them. Their greed had made people of our planet bewildered; we could never believe that such beings could be in existence in the universe. After many years when our research over them came finally to an end our investigators soon came up with the outcome of their experiments which spoke harsh of the humans. Our planet decided to severe connections with them and tried to avoid them.
Their greed had made them so blind that they tried to rule over us and capture our planet so that they could get all the oxygen present there. Our contact with them had made us vary of the situation and we had been preparing for battle and our intelligence bureau gave us the required equipments after finding their weakness’s, you’ll be shocked to know we never had an intelligence department until we came in contact with them. We even used some weapons manufactured by them to defeat them. This is all I could tell you about them nothing more is needed to convince an octitian with a sound mental health.” After a long time A-8 spoke and blurted out his anger in harsh words “Well you need not necessarily have killed them for it. I believe we’ve been selfish in treating them in such a fashion we could have isolated them and none the wiser as they would have never reached our world without our help and it would have taken centuries for them to reach our planet with their ship which is never possible as they would soon be in the grasp of space stack disease and perish in the universe.” “No they had access to the details of our planet’s location and also had details of the ship’s making, they were quiet wise in their own sense and they proved it,” replied B-6. “You could have left a few of them in the end, at least the captives.” “We could not risk it as their reproduction rate is quite higher than us. We reproduce by budding in once in our life time which maintains the balance of elements on our planet but they can give birth to as much children as they wish, be it ten or one. Our investigators calculated that they would have overweighed their own planet five centuries from hence that is in the 39th century and the conclusion of the great Octore H-3 ‘Never ever will an organism see such boom in the population of any other plant such as this one. If ever a situation arises that they should perish, not a single of them should be left to destiny for even The Last of Them is capable to reproduce at an unbearable rate and they would surely conquer us and as to our greed we’ve decided to leave this planet to it’s fate, we are deserting it for it’s own good with the other organisms alive.”
Three millenniums later:-
The inter-galactic transport system has improved a lot and other planets being discovered and the chapter of earth’s history being closed and forgotten. The universe is back on its track to prosperity but a sign can still be seen hanging around a solar system with the words “Beware, do not cross’ written across it in the octitian alphabets but no one knows why and no one tries to investigate the cause. But one fateful day a spaceship in order to be on time tried to break the rule and entered the solar-system as the pilot thought of it as a shortcut. While flying over a planet he saw a planet which smelled of oxygen he became interested and tried to investigate it with his telescope and saw below a world which was untouched and life still flourished on this planet with large amount of beings roaming on two legs. He reported this to his head office in the other galaxy and left the area as soon as he could. Meanwhile in the galaxy the head of the investor’s summit was troubled by the thought that a general like B-6 could commit such a blunder so as to leave even the last of them surviving on the planet so that they could destroy the entire universe if they ever got the chance to…
