Bridget felt the walls vibrating; they were buzzing along with the floor and the ceiling and her head. The murmurs swarmed around her, whispering suggestions and accusations and scandalous suspicions. It had been like this for weeks; months. It had to stop and Bridget had finally figured out a way to end it forever. Smiling, anticipating sweet release, she raised the gun to her head and pulled the trigger.

She welcomed the darkness.

Even in her final moments, Bridget had no idea exactly what had been happening to her. She had assumed it was mental illness—a long running problem in her family—brought on by years of drinking and drug use and hard living. But the truth was infinitely stranger and more terrible; a truth so outlandish that even if Bridget had discovered it, and sought aid from others, she surely would have ended up committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Bridget’s tormenters had not been voices formed in her own mind; her harassers had not even been of the world in which she resided. Bridget was the latest unfortunate who had fallen prey to Xoan and Quax, Salkumbries from the planet Saturn. Yet Xoan and Quax were not just any Salkumbries, they were outlaws, renegades—what humans would have described as young and restless post-delinquents.

The Salkumbrie race had been aware of the presence of life on Earth for decades. Planet Earth captivated the Salkumbries because of its beauty. It had seas and land that was lush and peppered with cities and forests. Earth was utterly unlike Saturn which was so cold and windy that the Salkumbries had to construct all of their cities underground. Earth’s winds were nowhere near as strong as Saturn’s and earthlings lived largely above ground, out in the elements including warm sunshine that was nonexistent on Saturn. Earth had no rings. It was exposed and so it was easy to observe and study. Thus, the Salkumbries had learned much about its residents.

For eons they had diligently studied human society and were both excited and intimidated by the idea of sharing the universe with other beings. The most learned of the Salkumbries studied humans extensively and developed theories about them and their societies. One fact was clear from the research…humans were dangerous and unsavory creatures.

Humans hurt each other. They waged wars and built tools called “weapons” intended to annihilate as many beings as possible. They occasionally even killed close family members and were prone to addictions that were bad for them yet which they couldn’t seem to stop indulging in. Most humans were stupid and weak…and many were aggressive.

Early on in the initial stages of human research, the Salkumbrie High Council—which governed Saturn—had passed laws decreeing it illegal for any Salkumbrie to harbor earthlings. The only earthlings allowed on Saturn were those sanctioned for study by the High Council, specifically by members who had made careers out of researching human societies and/or biology.

Very few of the human research specimens were taken willingly. Most screamed, fought and argued. Upon facing the Salkumbries, some laughed while others cried uncontrollably. As a species they were obviously very unstable. In the early days most research specimens were slaughtered and dissected. Then their insides were probed, studied and documented for future reference by students of universal coexistence. Later test subjects were quarantined and observed, usually for years. As the experiments progressed, some humans were released back to Earth and monitored to see if they would tell other humans what had happened to them and, if so, how those others would react. The results had been mixed; some abductees kept their experiences to themselves and died with their secrets. Others told and weren’t believed; sometimes they even got locked up in “institutions”—buildings where humans housed particularly unstable members of their societies.

Earth was teeming with various life forms yet humans appeared to rule the planet. Although they frequently fought among each other, all human fractions seemed to preside over other creatures the way the High Council presided over Saturn. Humans even kept other creatures in enclosures called “zoos” where they could visit and ogle them. Interestingly, most other earthlings were not as dangerous as humans…some beings with bizarre names like “fish” and “rabbits” and “birds” even seemed friendly, docile, and harmless. Many Salkumbries urged the High Council to open a zoo of earth creatures—minus the savage humans, of course—on Saturn but so far the High Council refused to listen to, or legalize, such considerations.

Some Salkumbries disapproved of the long-running “earthling experiments” and begged the High Council to take a more compassionate approach but the High Council was far too suspicious of humans to feel anything but foreboding. Humans had the capacity to be vicious to each other and even worse on the other creatures that co-inhabited Earth. If they couldn’t get along with life on their own planet what hope would there be for them making peace with the Salkumbries? That was precisely why the High Council insisted on keeping the existence of life on Saturn top secret.

Despite all the efforts the Salkumbries made to keep humans unaware of their presence, there were occasional telling signs that some humans did suspect that they were not alone in the galaxy. And, from time to time, human suspicion had been raised due to Salkumbrie errors.

The biggest disaster, “Mission 7987,” had occurred many moons ago, in a time humans referred to as 1947. A Salkumbrie spacecraft, on a routine surveyor’s mission, had malfunctioned and crashed into the desert of an Earth territory called the “United States.” The ship had gone down, killing both Salkumbries on board, and had instantly gotten the attention of earthlings. Humans had gathered around the wreckage and immediately found the bodies. The United States government—their version of the High Council—had taken the bodies away, undoubtedly to study them just as the Salkumbries had studied the remains of earthlings. The humans called the incident “Roswell” and still spoke of it which made the High Council very nervous. Since Mission 7987, they had been extra careful to have no more accidents.

The Salkumbries were fairly certain that they were more advanced than humans but they couldn’t be sure. Since the Roswell crash there were numerous signs that the earthlings were becoming more technically proficient. They monitored space and they sent messages through the airwaves; they had successfully landed on Earth’s moon; they had sent drones to Mars. They had even sent a few vessels to investigate Saturn. They had never actually landed on its surface but the High Council publicly admitted that humans had taken photos of the planet and its moons. The High Council was not pleased. They did not like “aliens” even being mentioned by earthlings, except in human fiction which was usually entirely wrong yet incredibly entertaining.

Luckily for the Salkumbries, Saturn had a natural defense with its thick rings that made it incredibly difficult for prying humans to attain clear photos or actually see its surface. The planet looked much bigger than it really was due to a force field of natural gases that surrounded its core. Most humans seemed to believe that Saturn lacked a solid surface and this was comforting to the High Council since it meant that the earthlings were unlikely to invade the rocky core the Salkumbries called home any time soon. Besides, all Salkumbrie cities were underground. Even if human technology eventually advanced to the point that they could land on Saturn they would experience little more than dusty ground, freezing temperatures, and high winds.

Despite such realities, constantly heightening security measures resulted in additional sanctions being imposed that completely forbid unauthorized contact with humans even as more and more Salkumbries got increasingly interested in them. Many liked the idea of using humans as slaves and some Salkumbries even showcased illegally abducted earthlings in circuses and traveling shows. Fickle natures aside, they could be trained.

That was how Xoan and Quax’s clan had become involved in the human smuggling trade decades ago.

Earth was a complicated planet with even more complex social systems. Its lands were divided into territories called “countries” that had odd names. Places like “America” and “Norway” had healthy and well-fed humans while other places, with equally odd names like “Sudan” and “Bangladesh,” were populated by many sickly and starving humans. All captors—whether illegal smugglers or High Council sanctioned researchers—knew that it was much easier to abduct humans from poorer nations since they rarely had as much strength to fight and they were much less likely to be missed. On the downside, such specimens were often physically weak. They made poor test studies and even poorer slaves, not to mention unattractive pets.

Humans certainly placed higher value on some lives more than others, an odd pecking order that was seemingly decided by various and often unclear factors. If a learned one—which humans called “professors”—or a rich one, or a pretty blonde one, were taken there tended to be a lot of outcry from human society as a whole, subsequently making it harder for smugglers to get away undetected. It was an unfortunate fact
