- "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.
