[Time] zz4056, AD 2018

 

Narrator: This story is about an expedition team form alien civilization Bantru, visiting Earth. Bantru civilization lives on planet Zazu. Zazu means Ruby, a red planet in Bantru language. The planet is situated near a warm star in Lyra constellation. The Bantru society is highly technologically advance and achieved technology advantage which helps them to travel through space for greater distance across galaxies. In course of time the natural habitat of the planet was totally destroyed. There are some artificial natural zones on the planet but they could not able to give true natural sense. To understand natural habitat, Bantru government regularly organizes expedition program for young adults to visit planet Vasu (Planet Earth).

[Music…Any melody]

 

Narrator: In town hall auditorium, youth expedition program organizer started introduction of the program to a batch of twenty high school students.

 

Khantu: Good morning everyone, my name is Khantu, I am organizer of this program and will accompany you in expedition. Many of you might know that this is annual program to visit planet Vasu to understand natural habitat and coexistence of different species on planet. Five days after, we are going to leave for Vasu, mother ship will be stationed near Gruha, a large planet in Vasu’s solar system to avoid unwanted detection of our visit to Vasu.

[A girl raise hand and asks question.]

 

Huha: My name is Huha, Can I ask a question?

 

Khantu: Sure

 

Huha: Why can’t we visit any other planet?

 

Khantu: Vasu is in the same phase when we were in thousands year before. It is interesting to see “How species on Vasu will sustain?”

 

Huha: Thanks you sir

 

Khantu: We have to be careful as Vasu’s intelligent species was trying to detect our earlier visit but they failed. You will be impersonating as human sapiens species so that we will be less recognizable.

 

[A boy raised his hand to ask question.]

 

Boy: Why don’t we have Virtual reality Tour for some hours of Planet Vasu? The VR experience is as good as real.

 

Khantu: Yes, VR experience is as good as real but it is all programmed. In reality you may come across unknown things and different situations. Isn’t it exciting to tackle unexpected situation?

 

Boy: Could be.

 

Khantu: We will have VR based training program to know more about Vasu for two days before departing. Thanks you for joining this program.

Narrator: After program introduction session Huha and her friends Etma and Itka went to have social drink Izzma. While having Izzma with Sorogoti (A favourite breakfast in Zazu)

 

Etma: I don’t want to visit planet. I had visited such planet using virtual reality in earlier school days. It will be a boring.

 

Huha: My mother told me that she had great time and had interesting alien encounter in her visit to Vasu.

 

Etma: Are you expecting similar thing will happen with you?

 

Huha: Not like that, but I am expecting a good trip with lot of fun.

 

Etma: You can hope so, I don’t have any hopes.

 

Itka: I don’t know about you guys but I am going to collect lot of specimens for my project.

 

Etma: You are a unique specimen from Zazu itself. Why don’t you showcase yourself?

 

Itka: You are such a boring person. You don’t want to do anything.

 

Huha: Stop boys, Etma, if you don’t want to come, you can withdraw your name from program. At least don’t discourage others.

 

Etma: I am not discouraging others. It just, I don’t like idea of travelling.

 

Itka: Buddy, Just give a try for real world.

 

Huha: It would be exciting, you never know, we may have interesting encounters with aliens.

 

Etma: Yes, That’s interesting part.

 

 

Act1, Scene 3

 

Narrator: On the day of departure, 20 students and their parents who were selected for program are present near launch pad auditorium where Khantu is going to address before departing for tour.

 

Khantu: Good afternoon every one. As you know, we are going to visit Vasu for 120 Bantru days which is 360 Vasu days approximately a year on Vasu. We will visit several places in Vasu and other planet in that solar system. We are travelling in most advance mothership “Jakado” and will take spaceship “Lolo” for shorter journey. Some of those places under water. We have to live on our own. Our spaceship will be our home for the duration and which is equipped with enough food and other necessities. “Lolo” is capable to communicate with mother ship. Disaster management team will be available on “Jakado” to help us in case of emergency. Now Mr. Hapu is going to inform us about “Universal law for procedure to interact and communicate with alien civilization.” We have to obey those law as citizen of Bantru. Please welcome Mr. Hapu, a lawyer specialize in alien interaction.

 

Mr. Hapu: Hello friends, as a civilize society we have to understand and follow “Procedure to interact and communicate with alien civilization.” If alien civilization is not at par with technology and development, we are not allowed to disclose our identity nor communication allowed with them. Vasu is not at par hence you are not allowed to communicate with them. If anyone found violating law he or she will be prosecuted under law. Do you have any question?

 

Etma: Sir, Why we need to restrict communication with Aliens?

 

Mr. Hapu: Communication may lead to undesired consequences, such as Alien may try to gain our technology but they may not completely aware of usage of technology. Alien can use technology in war to destroy civilization as you may have read it in our history some of those advance technology demolished entire planets and civilizations. Natural adaptation of technology is a recommended way.

 

Etma: Thanks you Sir.

      Lupta: What will happen if aliens found us or capture us?

 

Mr. Hapu: Special task force will rescue you or in case of great emergency you can move to stealth mode and you can escape. Till today, there were no such cases of kidnapping.

 

Mr. Hapu: Any other question?

[Silence in the room]

 

Mr. Hapu: Happy journey friends, Mr. Khantu is good leader and good guide. Hope he will share interesting facts about our journey to Vasu when we were young like you. He was big mischief at that time. All the very best.

[Place] Jakado, Mothership

Act1, Scene 4

 

Narrator: All students boarded the spaceship which is going to take them to mother ship “Jakado”. After reaching to mother ship, they moved into respective units and spaceship used space time curvature to reach Gruha largest planet in Vasu’s solar system and stationed mothership over there and started journey in spaceship “Lolo” in stealth mode.

 

Khantu: We are near to Vasu. Can you see Blue marble like planet on left hand side? It is Vasu.

 

Students: Yes, we can see.

 

Etma: My personal projectile shows it is three time smaller than Zazu.

 

Khantu: Yes, It is and you can see 71% of earth area covered with water hence it looks blue.

 

Huha: It looks like Blue marble and “Blue marble” could be more appropriate name for the planet. Why Bantru people named it as Vasu?

 

Khantu: Our ancestor discovered intelligent life forms on Vasu before anywhere else so that ancestor had named it Vasu means “one who flourishes life”.

 

Etma: Can species on Vasu make vocal sounds?

 

Khantu: Yes, they do. Intelligent spices, human are using highly developed vocal languages to communicate. There are thousands of languages on Vasu unlike to our planet where we speak one single language.

 

Huha: So many languages. It will be difficult to learn them all or do they have interpreter device for communication?

 

Khantu: People on Vasu don’t need to learn so many languages. There are some common languages which been used for communication. They are developing interpreter but is in very early phase. In ancient time, we do had multiple language but those were dissolved into single language over period of time.

 

Etma: This means after years later Vasu people may have one language.

Khantu: May be or may not be, we had big nuclear war which destroyed our planet. Only few people left so it give rise to into development of single language and single community. Not only Vasu had many languages but Vasu’s land and sea area is divided into different territory with their own government know as nations.

 

Huha: oh, I see.

[Beep… Beep… Beep… signal]

 

Khantu: Now we are moving near to Vasu so we have to get impersonate as human. Vasu is being called as “Earth”, or “Mother Earth” in one of the language used by humans, now real-time translator will be loaded on your temple device for most common speaking languages on earth which will help you to understand and speak native languages. Soon we are landing on Vasu’s North hemisphere country “United States of America” to see glowing inset, a fly which glows to attract other flies for mating.
