Something I seen on the news...

It has been a couple of weeks since the incident of Notok, he was very scared and at the same time, he didn't know what to think, the soldier that was placed in custody was interrogated, and looks like loyalty wasn't one of his virtues because he told everything, turns out that my suspicions were true, Olreph sent the soldier to make the hit, and pretty much everything that Olreph does, yes, Evarina was involved somehow, The soldier mentioned that the two cousins wouldn't accept defeat, the korosnians are known to help each other... Lana and Notok were korosnians yes, but Lana had the old values of her planet, she spend most of her life in Korosnoth and recently she has move out to Pholos because of this oportunity to bring changes to her own planet, changes that I will detail later on.

Evarina and Olreph were not just aliens, they had some strange abilities that defies all logic. They are the last descedants of a powerful lineage of beings capable to manipulate any type of element known as The Dominators, it's been told that they were the ones creating several planets and civilizations like flowers on the garden and many of the alien races couldn't exist any way without their will and thus, their mere presence is an anomaly. The cousins were the most powerful species not only in planet Pholos but also on the universe itself, the people from Pholos including myself have the believe that if it exists there should be an explanation on the other side of the universe, we have knowning the treasures of the galaxies but these two jewels are such a rarity.

Our regular media would be like any other a device that broadcast the events of distant places, sometimes we use the old screens to watch the news and the rich ones could affor a small plattform where they can see a cubic hologram of the events of the day. In my particular case I just needed my trusty television to observe all of the events that have been happening after the victory of Notok and it looks like his glory wouldn't last too much. It looks like Notok was not a shiny warrior ready to lead his people to victory and domination over the solar system. He was a coward who fell into the most disgraceful acts and Lana, after she was healed will not be taking kindly any of his acts.

It was a nice weather, very fresh and windy. The sun was looking beautiful ready to sleep, the sky was giving us those gentle tones between orange and blue, the stars were present and the moon of Tokeia was like a beautiful sapphire on the sky, I was in my home carrying a cup of ... let's call it coffee altough it was not really the classic beverage from several planets, and I was looking at the city on my large window, I decided to turn on my television with a hand gesture and the very first thing that I see truly made me shiver: The Congress, the same boring place where politicians of all races from reptilians to humans and from zelians to zeta reticulians gathered to repeat the same laws and sometimes express their opinions with phisical fight was now under attack.

I saw that all the politicians where gathered in the middle of the room, all of them were facing down with their hands covering their heads and around them they were several armed guards, they were clearly holding them hostages I noticed that the the leader of these armed guards was none other than Lana herself. However what truly surpriced me was that these soldiers carrying high powered lasers were robots and I knew by the badges displayed on their chest who was the owner of those robots.

Evarina has a brother, a living tragedy mind you, the true mastermind from we owe the high technology we enjoy these days, if it wasn't for him the planet itself would be a complete chaos as well as some others, am talking about the great inventor, businessman and the true ruler of the solar system Malbok Catalido. Malbok and Evarina were born twins but due some problems that I will detail later he was born very weak and fragile but in contrast, he born with an inteligence superior of any regular zelian, and we are considered one of the most advanced races in the universe. I will not entertain you with his profile and background, we will have the proper time and entry to do so, all you need to know is that Malbok or should I say the robots of Malbok were assisting Lana in this assault.

Lana took the microphone of the podium and made sure the camera was pointing at her and the aliens being hostage, the robots brought at the front and by force the president Notok as well as the politicians who assisted Lana during her campaign that later abandoned her as soon as she lost the elections. The robots were pointing their lasers to them but just to prevent any false movement. How it was possible that the same girl who saved Notok when he won the elections was holding him hostage? What happened during the weeks of her recovery? Please, keep reading.

Lana was explaining what happened: In Korosnoth there is no politicians, is a peaceful anarchy where people were just living in peace and respecting each other and sharing all goods of the companies equally distributed to all the habitants in a system that is a bit confusing to me but somehow it works, could be due the kind and peaceful nature of the korosnians. One of the main features of this system includes to add propositions that can benefit the entire planet, Lana's ideas were so attractive and interesting that some politicians from planet Pholos visited her and they were interested to apply the same values to planet Pholos, they took her from her home planet, they made her take a quick therapy to be able to adapt to Pholos's atmosphere and then they gave her a temporary home and a place in their offices to become the leader of the planet and get some benefits. After Notok was announced as the new president, as soon as Lana went to save him, these so called "supporters of the Korosnian party" abandoned her, they close the offices and make sure the home she was living was closed and the owner would not let her in, not to mention they didn't even offer a flight to her home planet, they just leave her on her own.

Somehow Lana knew about the hit, someone told her that Notok's life was in danger, a Korosnian always cares of other lives and when we are talking about a fellow korosnian she couldn't let this happened, according to what she was explaining that night in the podium, she tried to warn Notok about Olreph's goons ready to take him out as soon as he went to the public but she was ignored, Notok thought she was only trying to intimidate him because back then she was still a candidate for the presidency. After the events, Lana was taken to the hospital and after a couple of days she healed very well, Notok brought her flowers and apologize for not believe in her words.

Lana would eventually find out the betrayal of her supporters and Notok decided to take her to his home and give her a job on his party, during the next days Lana assited Notok and help him to find peaceful solutions to his propositions but Notok was always stubborn and insisting that the true gold of sucess was red and needed to spill it out from his enemies however, Notok was a gentleman with Lana, he was taking her to dinner in fancy restaurants, give her nice and expensive dresses, one would say he had other intentions with her but who knows? Perhaps he felt a genuine guilt over her ignored warnings.

During one of the nights that Notok was giving a speech he gave Lana a day off, Lana was working constantly to help him and he felt that she needed to relax and not stress to much over work. According to her words she was relaxing on her bed looking at the computer, eating some snacks and the activity of the computer was suddenly interrupted, Can you imagine being on your computer and suddenly all the screen goes black and a creepy voice is heard? Well, Lana was scared, she thought it was a hacker from Evarina but it was something much more interesting. Malbok himself interrupt her activity online, he had a raspy voice like an old man despite being on the middle of his life. 

He told her that he has been looking at her on every device she used and the news and everything that has happened to her, Lana herself would found good reasons to believe in that because his influence is total on the planet and even Korosnoth, as I mentioned his devices and inventions made a huge technological revolution that give several planets the futuristic appereance that you may be imaginating. He told her that he was moved for all these events, he wanted to help her and offered a deal... Let me interrupt this moving moment to tell you that Malbok loves to make deals with people and the people who accepts his deals have two types of destinies: absolute glory and wealth or complete misery, either you end up extremly good or extremly bad and any wise men would escape his deals like a black hole. 

This deal however had a simple and a complex option: He would be prepare a ship to take her back home with her people and leave things on the past, forget about this politic fiasco and be whatever she want to be, there are no homelesss people on Korosnoth, this complex system would prevent anyone to end up in the streets. The second option however was to become loyal to him, work for him and his plans in exchange for making her president and give her and I quote "a place on his cyber paradise".

As you can imagine, Lana took the second option, Malbok gave her total control over his soldiers as well as the best of his machines and of course, various access to priviledged places we will detail later on. Malbok's first order was to punish the wicked ones... turns out that he detected several devices on Lana's room, Guess what? Malbok told all places where Notok was hiding cameras and voice recordings. Notok was spying on her, and am talking about her room, bathroom, kitchen, studio you name it. I sincerly don't know how things work in your planet, but in Pholos that is one of the most despicable things you can do, your privacy means nothing to him.

She played inocent to Notok and didn't make any mention until this day where she made the assault with Malbok soldiers. A smart vehicle with no drivers was awaiting for her on the next days, she weared her signature spandex suit, her long coat with golden chains and her military style hat matching the copper colors of her entire outfit, she was also keeping a small laser gun more to intimidate than harm, behind her there were several vehicles with soldiers following her, the robots entered first, they took out the guards by knocking them so there were no casualties that day. Lana entered last once the robots secured the area, they were kind enough to open the doors for her and cover her against any harm. 

So Lana's words on the podium were clear: Notok was a liar, a coward and a hypocrite, one of the robots gave her a bag where she pulled out every small camera and audio recorder in front of him, not only that, another robot gave her a document proving that his disgusting practices were taken to important places: spying on private meetings, spying on exclusive offices from other countries, the guy wanted to be a giant eye where he can control other countries and terrtories threatening them with reveal the audios and videos of corrupted leaders, leaders like Evarina and her dark secrets. Notok wouldnt last anyway, if he will not be taken out by the people in general, the politicians will surely make sure to vanish him. Lana decided to take Notok into custody for his own protection, as for the people of her party, they were also found out by the robots and brought here, they were also taken under arrest, they weren't too different than Notok.

And finally a third robot gave Lana a computer, they connected the audio to make sure everyone can hear... Malbok himself was speaking, giving Lana the authority to become the new president of Pholos and follow HIS instructions mixed with her visions, they politicians and all the people who were watching the news like me were inmediatly convinced, Malbok was a passive ruler of the entire planet and the solar system, he is the law himself and the presidents are only free tools organizing their agendas. Lana was then considered the new president and the politicians stand up and the most important kissed her hand while she sit on the main chair of the room, it was more like throne than a chair. The robots let the politicians go home, the cameras were shut and they left us with a trend on the internet, on the next days the news were covering only this assault, celebrities and experts were broadcasting their opinions and all other planets were having all type of reaction, Korosnoth was the one who most praised her, not because of her korosnian race, but because she will not take trash from nobody and stand out and most important the korosnian values made Malbok himself to empathize with her.

In the end, I turned off the television, took a deep breath and finished my coffee drink... it was cold now...
