Page 8 of Axon’s Lust

I had to have her.

The human male cleared his throat and began to speak softly to her.

“Should I try speaking to them, or should you write down a message in their communication pattern?” he asked her, and I couldn’t help but quirk my eyebrows.

Was she the one who deciphered our message so fast?

“Try speaking to them first,” she whispered back to him.

“Wel-come,” he turned to us, greeting us in a very slow speech. I looked at the Captain, trying to restrain a grin. The poor human probably thought we didn’t know their language.

“You are… welcome…here… in…peace,” he continued. The Captain smiled.

“Thank you.” The Captain began. “We are happy to accept your most gracious welcome, and we thank you once again for meeting with us,” the Captain said, bowing his head slightly, and I followed suit.

“Oh, you speak our language,” David said, looking a little gobsmacked and flummoxed. I saw the human female laugh at this exchange. Her smile was captivating.

“We speak many languages,” the Captain explained vaguely. “My name is Captain Weko, and this is Lieutenant Axon Voan,” he continued, introducing ourselves.

“It is nice to meet you. As I have already said, I am called David. This is my colleague, Jennifer Rose” David replied, waving his hand towards the female with a smile. “Ms. Rose is the one who deciphered your message. She was also the one who sent you our response,” he added, and she nodded her head politely.

“It is an honor to meet you both,” she greeted.

So I was right. She must be quite intelligent to have figured out our communication patterns so fast. She was becoming more intriguing by the minute.

“We do not wish to waste your time. We have a message for your leaders. Are we able to meet and speak with them right now?” the Captain asked.

“Yes, absolutely,” David replied, nodding his head vigorously. “If you will come with us, we will take you to a meeting with our President,” he said.

We followed him to the small hut they had emerged out of, and watched as he stopped in front of a pair of thick metal doors.

“Just so you know what is going on, we are going to step inside this door,” David explained, pointing towards the doors in front of us. “This is actually a contraption called an ‘elevator’. It takes us from one floor to the other inside of this building. We will be going down to another floor, walk into a room where we will meet…” David explained.

He was talking to us so very slowly, as if he was talking to a small child. I tried not to laugh. They had no idea we knew everything about Earth and humanity already. We knew the names of every object or contraption they used. We’ve been studying them and mating with their females for many years now.

“We will go with you. Please lead the way,” the Captain said, and David nervously let us inside the elevator. Soon we arrived at the meeting room, where there was a large projection on the wall, and several men standing around the room, all of them wearing suits. They greeted each of us as David continued his explanation.

“On the screen over there is our leader, the President. He oversees and leads this city, as well as our country,” he said.

The Captain turned to the screen.

“Leader of Earth, my name is Captain Weko. We have come to bring you a very important message. We come in peace and mean you no harm. Our only mission is to deliver this message to you, and then we will leave your planet so we can go back to our own world.” The Captain explained.

“Captain Weko, it is my honor to meet you,” the President greeted. “I am pleasantly surprised at your proficiency in our language. I must apologize for not being there in person, as safety boundaries would not allow it, plus we are located very far from the city you are currently in. This is quite a momentous occasion, and we wanted to meet as soon as possible, as I am sure it is for you, as well. Please continue with your message. We are all excited to cooperate with you.”

“Thank you, President,” the Captain said. “We come from a planet far from here called ‘Harpo.’ We call our race the ‘Revians’. All is peaceful among us, but we do have an enemy, and that enemy is known as the ‘Compiers,’” the Captain continued.

“The Compiers are creatures not like us. They are brutal and savage. We do not like to have quarrels with their species, but unfortunately, that has been the way of things for a long time,” the Captain finished.

“So, there is another life form besides yours in outer space?” the President clarified, his eyes wide with awe. “That is most illuminating. But allow me to ask, Captain Weko, what does your long-standing feud have to do with humankind?” he asked.

“We have learned that the Compiers plan to visit Earth,” the Captain answered, his expression turning grim. “And unlike us, they do not mean to meet you in peaceful and civilized terms.”

There was a commotion in the room as everyone understood what the Captain meant. I looked over at the human female, Jennifer, remembering her name. She was the only female in the room, and she appeared so focused on what was happening. While everyone was chattering amongst themselves over the captain’s news, she was the only one who stayed quiet, her head bent low as she observed everything. I admired that.

“Please, can everyone please settle down?” the President said, looking a little irate as he swept his eyes around the room. The room grew quiet, and the President nodded towards Captain Weko. “Please, continue on with your message, Captain.”

“Thank you, President,” Captain Weko replied. “As I have told you earlier, our enemy, the Compiers, are planning to visit Earth. We do not know what type of visit they intend to make, but our experience with them has led us to believe it will be a hostile visit. Therefore, our leaders have decided it was our duty to warn you here on Earth ahead of time,” the Captain continued.
