The Visitor

IN the year 2099, a temporal rift occurred near the orbit of mars and
object came barreling through!" this didn't go unnoticed on earth, the
orbital platform in stationary orbit around the moon picked up the
occurrence. THAT object proved to be a planet about the size of the
earth as the world continued to roll past mars, but a realigning began
to happen, the great planet Jupiter began to exercise its control over
the new addition to the solar system, it's speed started to slow and
stabilize, if this hadn't happened it might have gone on to eject the
earth and Venus from the solar system.

AS the new planet took up orbit between mars and the earth, it became
apparent that the new world would have a hyperbolic orbit for part of
the year it would come close to the earth within ten million miles and
the other part of the year it would remain in the vicinity of mars. A
science vessel was dispatched to orbit the new planet, christened ARIES,
the research craft sailed into orbit around ARIES, the infrared scanners
show a world of contrast seas that flowed out of their bed and
devastated the continents, the ruins of great cities were seen.

AFTER much deliberation!" was decided to seen down a scout craft to
check to see if any life survived, the captain Ruben James and three
other personnel took the scoutship Magellan down to the planet, the
craft landed near one of the ruined cities. AS they tested the outside
atmosphere, it was found safe to breath, when the exit door opened a
scene of complete devastation greeted them, everywhere laid the bodies
of dead or dying beings, humanoid in appearance.

THE more they explored the more dejected they felt, all this death a
world in ruin, suddenly!" they were startled by a group of frighten
survivors male and female, it was uncanny like staring at themselves,
that how close they resembled earth people. THE earth people tried to
convince the aliens that they would not harm themsomehow they managed
to communicate with the people of ARIES and convinced them they were
here to help not hurt, it was learned that the true name of the planet
is MARDOK, a message was sent to EARTH to send aid of all kinds.

IT was learned that MARDOK had once orbited a gas giant in a star
system eleven light years distance, the star TAU-CETI a super nova in a
near by solar system had caused their planet to be catapulted out of
orbit and through the temporal rift and here in this solar system, on
the way through, the seas drained out of their beds, sweeping over the
land and destroying the cities and everything on the land, it is a
miracle that any life survived. THE remnants of the people were glad
to be alive, they were made aware that help is on the way and that
their planet had settled into a stable orbit, the knowledge seem to
lift their spirits.

 

 

EPILOGUE... IT has been five years since the planet MARDOK came
into the solar system, much of the life was destroyed, but some has
survived and were making a comeback, including the people with the help
of the earth people and much knowledge was learned about life in
another solar system, it was obvious that the two peoples would be fast
friends, it is odd a disaster brought two races together, a miracle or
an accident, its your guess. The end
