"THE VOICE"
|
|
by THE GNN/DualCrew/uXu
|
|
|
|
|
|
Strix ran through the corridors with the paper in his hand. The three
|
|
legs wouldn't go fast enough. He reached The Office, stopped and took
|
|
and deep breath. Then he opened The Door to The office and entered.
|
|
Faces looked at him from every part of a round table in the middle of
|
|
the room.
|
|
|
|
"Well Strix, any news?"
|
|
|
|
He held the paper high in the air so everybody could see it. It
|
|
contained strange numbers and words that no one could understand.
|
|
|
|
"We did it! We have discovered another planet with life!"
|
|
|
|
Chaos. The Leaders jumped high in the air, danced on the table and
|
|
screamed in happiness. Strix felt like joining them but realized that
|
|
it wasn't a good idea. He was just a Student of the sy-77 School Of
|
|
Investigation Of Uninvestigated Places In The Universe. The Leaders
|
|
would probably take it personal if he identified himself with them.
|
|
They calmed down after a few minutes and returned to their places with
|
|
stone cold faces.
|
|
|
|
"Good Strix. Investigate their messages and return."
|
|
|
|
They had worked with the problem for years. Signals, unknown to their
|
|
machines had been detected from a small planet far away. The problem
|
|
was that they couldn't prove if it was mutated echoes from their own
|
|
equipment or messages from another world. They worked night and day,
|
|
with all four arms working at the same time, to solve the problem.
|
|
|
|
"Anything new?", Strix asked as he returned to the room.
|
|
|
|
Hi-tech equipment was placed everywhere. He had to step over five
|
|
boosters to the main Detector when he wanted to enter his seat.
|
|
Mr Nagy Nagy looked at him.
|
|
|
|
"Nope. Just the ordinary sounds. They must be voices, but the new
|
|
translation module hasn't arrived yet. I don't get a shit of what
|
|
they are saying."
|
|
|
|
Strix placed the ear to the loudspeaker and listened. Yes, it must be
|
|
voices. But what on Hil could it be saying? Mr Nagy Nagy continued.
|
|
|
|
"We have discovered another interesting thing. We can hear other voices
|
|
at the same time, but weaker. I think it can be amateurs who are
|
|
sending messages to space at the same time. Who knows? Then there's
|
|
many different people who speak on the same frequency as the one
|
|
that's the strongest. The main speaker is however the one we hear
|
|
most...eh...aggressive...he must be the one who we should translate
|
|
when the module arrives!"
|
|
|
|
Strix nodded. Strange that they hadn't heard anything from the planet
|
|
earlier. They had scanned that system before.
|
|
The Universal Translation Module arrived the very next day by speed-
|
|
mail from The Universal Translation School. It was a handy machine
|
|
with a microphone in one end and a printer in the other.
|
|
|
|
"Damn! Why isn't that voice sending now!", Mr Nagy Nagy said desperately.
|
|
|
|
"Calm Down!", Strix replied. "You know they are not sending all the
|
|
time! We just have to wait until they begin again!"
|
|
|
|
Strix understood Mr Nagy Nagys impatience. This was the day. They tried
|
|
to kill time by playing cards but Mr Nagy Nagy couldn't concentrate.
|
|
He ran to the loudspeaker all the time and listened.
|
|
|
|
"Ahh...mmm...nothing yet!"
|
|
|
|
After one hour the voice suddenly begun to speak. They threw everything
|
|
they had in their hands and rushed to the module.
|
|
|
|
"Turn it on for gods sake! Place the mic to the speaker! Quick!"
|
|
|
|
Strix already knew what to do. He placed the module to the speaker and
|
|
turned it on. The machine listened and begun to translate.
|
|
They read the text that slowly came from the machine with a joy that
|
|
quickly transformed into fear.
|
|
|
|
He walked to The Office with slow steps. This was not good at all.
|
|
He explained to The Leaders that the messages had been destructive
|
|
ones, who kept talking about death and war. They shook their heads
|
|
and mumbled disappointed words.
|
|
|
|
"We cannot take the risk to make contact with them!", one of The Leaders
|
|
said. "They can be dangerous!"
|
|
|
|
Everybody agreed. One turned to Strix and said:
|
|
|
|
"Place the planet on the black list and send it to all other known
|
|
systems! It must be kept isolated!"
|
|
|
|
Strix did as they said. He sent a message to all other systems with a
|
|
warning to stay away from the planet. When he returned to the room
|
|
he saw Mr Nagy Nagy packing the tapes and papers with the voice into
|
|
a box.
|
|
|
|
"Going to the cellar.", he said with a sad look.
|
|
|
|
Strix stepped over a booster and picked up a tape.
|
|
|
|
"I'm just going to listen to them for the last time."
|
|
|
|
Mr Nagy Nagy stopped his packing and listened too with a calm face.
|
|
For the last time, they listened to the voice that they had discovered.
|
|
They didn't understand anything of it without the module, except that
|
|
it was a dangerous voice.
