We where at the Sector 32 base, it was old, it was boring, it was dieing, there wasn't much we could do about it. The base brain had not been fed citroplasmatic acid for two hundred years, the exterior walls where rotting away against the galactic radiation, it was extremely lucky that it even produced oxygen at all, but it had not been able to produce ship fuel for decades now, no one comes to this sector of the galaxy, it's pretty much boring planets, the only habitable planet is Earth and well, Earth is really boring, intergalactic treaties prohibit all great powers to fetch it because it has sentient native species on it, so the Stralli and the GodsKings prohibit that anyone touches it until they make contact. Humans will probably kill each other far before they even develop the technology to make contact. But, laws are laws, and no one wants to make the Stralli nor the GodsKings unhappy, that was our problem here.

We made the Stralli mad.

We didn't wanted to, it wasn't our first idea, it wasn't our intention, but as it happened, we made the Stralli really, but really, mad.

Not for touching Earth, as long as the human specie is free to do whatever they want we can contact some of them, we can't give the whole planet knowledge they didnt develop themselves though. Thats why we choose to jump here, Earth was near enough for our ship's dieing fuel tanks to feed the Jump Engines, we have several of the engines on each ship, its the most complex piece of machinery we have, and its really important to have backups of them in case something happens, not having a Jump Engine means stranding, and Stranding is the worst possible thing in the universe, because the universe is really big, stupidly big, you can get no where without a Jump Engine.

When we decided to land on earth we had to make sure no one would find our ship, it was essential, not only because humans can't have it for study, but because it broadcasts our location to all who can hear it, and its not something we need right now, the Stralli are out there, looking for us.

We are not exactly criminals, not on any of our planets sense, but we are, needed, by the Stralli, we have to, give them some information, and they will want to take it at all costs. We can not tell you the information, first you would not understand what it means, second it would make you desirable for the Stralli attention, and we couldn't put anyone on that path.

As it stands out, there is a war going on, there are no warships though, no armies or fallen. There are just factions, thousands of them. but most can be divided in three main groups, The lowpeople, people like you humans, or even us arens and mesltakls, we are the ones who live in planets and do work, and sing songs and watch cartoons, then theres the GodsKings, the born on stars, beings of energy and magnetic fields, they are powerful, they are literally made out of stars, and then there is the Stralli, the mixture, the HighPeople, enhanced lowpeople and GodsKings. They are powerful and dangerous, they are the tomorrow people.

We fear them, but we fear something more, there is something out there, something extremely old, some GodsKings even call it God, we just know it exists and its out there, doing something, some game that has taken it several millions of years and is still going, we fear that even more. But that is not the secret believe us.
