“Do you expect the UN to come to a good resolution?” the next reporter asked.“Our hopes are high, since it’s the only way for us to be prepared by the time they arrive”.“When are they going to arrive?” the reporter followed up.“We aren’t sure. Our observation period hasn’t been long enough to determine that, so it depends on whether they’re accelerating, coasting, or decelerating. Flying a spaceship isn’t like driving a car—you accelerate part of the way, then coast part of the way, then decelerate part of the way. If you plan it right, acceleration and deceleration should take the same amount of time, but we don’t have time to get into the more complex physics behind it. Basically, our estimates right now put them arriving around ten years from now at the soonest, and no later than twenty-eight years from now. So we need to get our affairs in order and prepare so we can face them as a united front within the next ten years.” Alexander pointed to the next reporter.“Do you think we
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The Relationship Between Sharks and Chum
After the many different governments that had space agencies confirmed Eden’s statement, the world tipped over and the discussions moved from Eden being the bad guys to the incoming aliens. It wasn’t that Eden’s reputation had suddenly become better, but rather that the attention span of the populace was limited and the news of aliens completely overtook the more “local” gossip.Over the previous two weeks, people had been comforting themselves by believing that Eden was wrong. After all, what could a nation that had no reputation and no world-renowned experts know, anyway? But the series of announcements by more credible experts had yanked that security blanket away from everyone. Currently, the dam had been broken and the only things preventing complete chaos were riot police and the constant reminders that humanity still had time before the “visitors”, as they were being called, arrived.…….“It really worked,” Aron said as he watched the announcements with a smile on his face, rev
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Operation Stygian Crossing (part 1)
In a barracks on Avalon Island.A red warning light flashed and a siren sounded. It was a call to general assembly, and all of the soldiers in the barracks immediately dropped what they were doing and ran to the armory. There, after they formed up, they waited for instructions and Athena appeared before them in their AR glasses.“One minute eleven seconds,” she began. “I’m disappointed. SOP calls for assembly within 60 seconds of the alert sounding, but you lot,” she gestured, sweeping her arm across in front of her, “thought it was more important to get dressed than to get here!”If they hadn’t been standing at attention, the soldiers in front of Athena would have hung their heads in shame. Theirs was no normal barracks and they were no normal ARES soldiers. This was home to a Reaper battalion, and only the elites among the elites were housed there.“We’ll do better next time, ma’am!” they chorused at the top of their lungs.“If this had been an actual emergency, you would be dead no
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Operation Stygian Crossing (part 2)
Master Sergeant Jason Cordova and the rest of Reaper Team Three were on the side of a mountain atop a sheer cliff. They were overlooking a mountain villa maintained by the Medellin Cartel and had been assigned a mission to either eliminate or coopt the inhabitants and establish a hidden forward operating base in the Andes Mountain Range.It was 8pm, six hours before they would begin their assault.“So these guys are bad guys, right, sarge?” Corporal Justin McCullough asked.“Yep. They peddle poison, enslave locals, and violently murder anyone who dares to interfere with their operations. Only reason they haven’t been brought down yet is because they’re so vicious that everyone’s afraid of pissing them off,” Jason replied. His toes were still twitching, so he appreciated the distraction provided by conversation.“So why ain’t we just, y’know, ‘removing’ ‘em?” the corporal said, using air quotes around “removing” to indicate that he was talking about calling in an airstrike.“Because we
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The White Room
It was ironic, Nyx thought, that the only avenue of research in which Lab City was incapable of producing any advancements was the art of torture. She was completely baffled by the fact that humanity’s most advanced science was in harming other humans without killing them.Killing, in fact, was easier. Humanity was just a special kind of species, she supposed. That they could be so cruel to their own kind had her logic circuits constantly tied in knots.{Mother, why are humans like this?} she would often ask Nova whenever one of her children—the Nyx agents, or Nyxians for short—was needed to aid in interrogating a prisoner or other target.But the only answer she ever received from Nova was: {That’s just their nature. Humans have spent their entire evolutionary period figuring out how to kill, maim, and harm each other more efficiently. There is no right or wrong to that fact, it simply... is. Perhaps it’s because they’ve never had to face an outside enemy and believe themselves to be
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Eden's Proposal
A week after the announcement of the countries’ verification of Eden’s discovery, the day of the UNSC meeting finally arrived.The delay was long enough to allow countries to come up with ideas on how to handle the “visitors”, but not long enough to allow the citizens’ anxiety to boil over into panic and its accompanying rioting and destruction.It was also enough time for certain parties to profit from the discovery. A few cults had sprung up seemingly out of nowhere, one of which claimed that the visitors were merely a branch of humanity that had left long ago and were coming back to retake their ancestral home and uplift its current occupants. To them, the aliens were known as “the Progenitors”.Another cult believed that they were peaceful aliens, and that humanity’s preparations for war would enrage them and cause them to turn hostile. To them, the aliens were known as “the Peacebringers”.There were many more small cults, but those two seemed oddly popular and had gained tractio

Ambassador Aboulatta pointed to the Chinese representative, who stood and said, “China would like to offer an alternate suggestion. The system we have has been perfected over many years and has already had all the problems worked out of it. So I suggest we continue the current system, as the UN has been at the forefront of maintaining peace between all the nations on the planet....” He continued speaking, finding more and more reasons they should stick with the current system. The UN had been around for over seventy years, after all, and there was no need to reinvent the wheel by creating a new united government system. That posed too many issues that couldn’t be worked out in the time frame suggested by Eden, which was the only thing the Chinese ambassador agreed with Ambassador Foster on. “For instance,” he said, “many countries have differing ideologies, and just working out those alone would take more time than we have if we want to settle everything by late December.” He argued
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The Destructive Process of Creation
UN Headquarters, New York.It wasn’t long before the display screen tallied and revealed the votes.United States of America: in favor.Russia: opposed.People’s Republic of China: opposedUnited Kingdom: in favorFrance: opposedThe moment the first no vote from the five permanent members of the security council appeared, everyone in the room, and the more politically savvy folks watching from home, knew the resolution had effectively been swatted. Even if the tally of the entire security council was in favor, no matter the margin, either China or Russia would use their veto power to kill Eden’s proposal. Still, that was a moot point, as more than half of the non-permanent members had voted against it, two more had abstained, and the supporters were pitifully few.Most countries apparently either agreed with China and Russia that the UN was enough, or they were against giving up any of the power they currently held and didn’t want anyone to lord their authority over them.The way the
