May 25, 2180: All was turning to despair then out of nowhere a space
ship materialized into Dedov orbit. It dwarfed the pitiful ships being used by the
space fleet of Earth and Dedov. Minutes later another of an entirely different
design materialized, followed by another and another. Within one day there
were a total of 75 ships in orbit around Dedov. All of these ships were basically
saucer shaped but they each followed a different design concept. Arton Three
was just approaching Dedov and had come out of Warp drive when their radio
boomed on.
“Attention Arton Three,” the voice said in English, my name is Funutuoie,
I am the commander of a fleet of ships from what would translate in English to
“The Intergalactic Association of Civilized Planets.” We have been Monitoring
the events of Earth, Mars, Arton and Dedov for a long time. None of your
planets have ever attracted us to make contact with you. None of you have
ever met the minimum qualifications for Inclusion into our society. Frankly until
Earth suffered its catastrophe, Earth worried us a great deal. Since the
holocaust on Earth we have been very pleased to see the change in the Earth,
and the attitude of the people now living there. We have been sending ships to
patrol Earth for the last four hundred of your years. The only reason that we
have now chosen to intercede is a charitable interest in rescuing the people
remaining on Dedov. We have dispatched an adequate number of ships to
remove the remaining population i during the next 26 Earth days, four hours
and 42 minutes to be exact. That is that is precisely the time remaining before
Dedov will loose orbital stability and plunge into it's sun. Don't worry before that
happens all of the people will be safely on Earth. Please communicate this
message to all the other ships in your armada and have them start loading as
many of the pitiful refugees from Arton as they can accommodate and move
them to Mars. Don't worry about the rest of them we will transfer those
remaining on Arton to Earth for you. Beyond this one gesture of good will , that
we are committed to , you will not hear from us again until you have developed
enough to be invited to join us. My best estimate is that will be several
thousands of your Earth years from now. You should now get on your radio and
retransmit this message to your ships and planets. By the time you get back to
Earth or Mars the people of Dedov will have been there for several of your
months. We will take over the rescue effort from here on . Once again ,this is
the one and only communication you will ever receive from us, until we deem
you ready to join us. Good luck and God's speed.
The com center on the Arton Three had recorded the entire message. It
would be played again and again on Arton, Mars and Earth, over the coming
centuries.
Captain Horn of Arton Three immediately relayed the message that he
had received to all of the planets and ships, but they had already heard the
original message. All of the ships from Earth and Dedov went directly to Arton
and began loading refugees. Several of the ships were already loaded with
refugees from Dedov so they just changed course and headed for Mars. Six
Months later when the Arton ships came out of Warp drive and approached
Mars they learned that indeed the entire population of Dedov had already been
on Earth for more than five months. The ships of the intergalactic Association of
Civilized Planets had done exactly as they said they would do. Within four days
of the transmission their ships had begun to materialize in Earth orbit and
shuttle the refugees to down to the planet.
