Planet Pholos

Right now things are not going ok on planet Pholos, is your typical futuristic planet where you would expect tall and abstract looking buildings, lines of ships flying and technology you would expect to see in sci fi movies, but also it's very friendly with nature, within the cities is normal to see a lot of trees and nature fully merged with the cold structures of the city, and some reserves dedicated only as sanctuary for certain species brought from many other planets. My name is Alcitates or Al. I belong to a race of aliens known as Zelian, originally from planet Zelianorek, my skin is turquoise, some of us like me born bald and others born with hair, they are usually the result of mixing races, the bald ones are considered more pure but not better than others. I grew up on this planet from Zelian immigrants who came to planet Pholos because just like every planet with inteligent life, Zelianorek's resources begin to dissapear.

Planet Pholos seemed like a paradise, it's technology has allow to bring resources from other wild planets and of course, rescue dying civilizations like mine. My parents may be the last zelians on planet Pholos, regarding my education... schools are different than other planets, on this one you receive the lessons on your head in the form of devices and lights. In 3 minutes you have learn the entire history of the planet, advanced astronomy and some basic cooking lessons, a whole package that you receive in minutes. This amazing technology was created by a family of Zelians like me, we are known to be very brillant but this family that was currently ruling Pholos, I must say they are very smart even than the rest of us.

Going back to my first sentence, these are election times, we had 3 candidates: We have Evarina, the Zelian president who was on charge over the last decades, she was very philosophical, her kindness came always with hidden intentions, used virtues to her own purposes, and there are rumors that she is involved in... secret activities. She is very beautiful, and she knew how to take advantage of that, green eyes, long black hair, turquoise skin and a calm look which has fooled thousands, She believed that all certain alien species were more powerful and smart than others and these others, like humans and Zeta Reticulian only worth to consume and serve what other alien races produce and thus, they are the race that made them rich. The aliens didn't appreciate her posture and there were some attempts aganist her that she has managed to survive, later on future entries I will detail these attempts.

Next we have  the two aliens from planet Korosnoth: Mirklana Valdakio and Notok Zulath. While Mirklana or Lana for short believed that what the people produce belong to the people and the goverment is responsible only to distribute those goods equally and fair to grow up all together, Notok believed that the power of the economy relies on what he called "heavy business" and by that I mean wars, conquers, and the constant development of the entire planet Pholos even if he has to substract all resources of his home planet Korosnoth by force if necesary. Korosnoth is a peaceful planet, the korosnians, are extremly friendly, they share everything and trustworthy, Notok was a korosnian that born in Pholos and the education he received was not from his parents but from radicals and other politicians.

And Notok won the elections, people were convinced that he would take them to a period of glory and power, his charisma, the words he uses, his gestures and they way he convinced an entire planet that they were the chosen ones of the universe to be dominant over other planets truly gave them some confidence and make them felt important, even me I almost fell for it, but I am a pacifict Zelian, violence is the last of my last resources, I am weak and I try to find a peaceful solution to everything. But you know what they say here: if you play with fire, you are gonna get burn...

And so It happened... Evarina prepared something if he won the elections, she had a cousin who was working on her office and her main assistant and person of full trust. He looked perfectly human but later on I will describe why he was either above the human beings or lower... Humans do not exist only on planet Earth, there are other variants from similar planets with enough chemicals and conditions to assimilate that same type of life, but her cousin... is another story. His name was Olreph, he planned bring to send one of his soldiers dressed as Notok's followers with a laser, when the results were shown and the aliens were celebrating Notok's victory, he went to give a speech in the square of the city where everyone was waiting for him.

The sounds of the claps and cheers was too loud, he took the microphone which was a small device that allowed him to spead his word around the square, then he mentioned a thousand promises and challenges to endure, the soldier come from nowhere, he pointed the laser to him but as a surprice, Lana came from nowhere, she was wearing a disguise and she jump over Notok receiving the laser blast on her back. She was wounded but Notok was saved. The bodyguards were able to catch and disarm the soldier and take him under arrest, Lana was taken to the hospital, the people were running in horror and Notok was inmediatly taken by several bodyguards into his vehicle. To this day I wonder how and why Lana did what she did... but later on we'll ask if Notok was really worth to be saved.
