      Galactic Universal Doom - LOUIS SHELLY

      17

      KANAL

      Our home planet, Gathea, takes the same amount of time as your planet to circle its sun. After countless interviews, reports, and questions I had to answer in regards to the battle, eight months had passed when the most senior officer in the Gathean military handed me the final report and said, If anyone deserves a copy of this, it’s you, Kanal. I found it difficult to finish, so I put it away. I have a special place in my heart for that blue-and-white planet, a need to protect it just like it protected me when I was there during the battle. Gathean law forbids us to return. Why? I’ll never know. Before the attack, I was considered an unruly soldier; now I’m considered a hero. Tomorrow we leave this galaxy for our home planet, which can sustain life again, so I consider leaving you this compiled Gathean text bending the rules and not breaking the law. For my own wellbeing, and all those who never returned, I knew I had to find a way to tell you our whole story.

      Physical activity has always come easy for me. At school, I always struggled, so the Gathean archives became invaluable in gathering accurate information—our history, the final report, documented events, private journals, and hours of electronic surveillance had to be included. Once I had gathered all that material, I knew it was time to go home and put it together. My flight helmet was the last piece I needed. That knot in my stomach, that fear resurfaced again as I looked at that helmet. It was a friend who returned my lost flight helmet to me some time later—the Gathean military still thinks I lost my helmet during the battle, so no one has ever had access to that information. Whether it was on or off, it recorded all my thoughts, what I said, during the ordeal. I stored it away and promised myself never to take it out. I didn’t want anyone to know what I went through. I knew I had to find a way to grow past these wounds, and pulling that vital information from all those books and my flight helmet was the only way I could come up with to tell our story that I will leave inside the transmitter. Maybe someday this will be discovered and read, and only then will you know how we Gatheans once saved all from total galactic universal doom.

      KING FIGHTERUS–JOURNAL ENTRY

      PRE-ATTACK

      We Gatheans have been a people without a home planet for many generations. We have always been peaceful, we have always found ways to coexist with others. When we encounter those who will not accept us, we meet their demands and leave. Comets and asteroids—we use them to travel from planet to planet, searching for a new home. We have the ability to transport our cities short distances onto any comet or asteroid, plot our course, and change its direction to get us to the various galaxies all throughout the universe, but we are at the mercy of comets and asteroids to bring us close enough to transport down to a planet. The pyramids—they are our cities. We live inside them, and they allow us to survive in any environment. Since we lost our planet, they have been our homes. They are transportable over those short distances, and they bury themselves as deep as necessary into the surface of the comets and asteroids we ride to keep us safe from the environments we encounter.

      KING FIGHTERUS–JOURNAL ENTRY

      AFTER ATTACK

      With all that has happened, we are on our way. The Illnova has escaped all our military offences and defenses, killing off seventy percent of our population and causing total destruction of a city on a new planet that we Gatheans were sharing. It has been some time now since we transported onto this comet, chasing this beast that has come to destroy our existence. I don’t know for sure how this all started for my people—the initial reports tell us that the Illnova came to us from a distant mining operation. It was living beneath the surface of an asteroid, and it did not harm anything until it was brought to us with all the other harvested resources. I am convinced that it must have been living with us, studying our ways. It must have taken our engineering, learned our defenses and offences. It knows how to reproduce anything that we have manufactured.

      During the battle, we were never up against anything that we had not built or trained with ourselves. The only question I have for this enemy of mine is, why did you choose to destroy us? We could have easily brokered peace; you could have let me know your intentions. I could have shared the planet with you or transported you back to any other place, anywhere, any time. You showed no mercy for my people. I watched the way you decimated us. Your only intention was to destroy everything.

      An unruly soldier, Kanal. You have allowed him to slip past your defense, he has managed to transport a reserve pyramid onto your asteroid completely undetected. Your asteroid—do you know that, at the end of its journey, it will crash into some distant planet? If you do not discover Kanal and he has time to follow procedure, a window of opportunity will
