A strange visit and a conspiration

It's been a couple of years since Lana took by force the entire planet, a lot of things happened, and we do not know the whereabouts of Evarina and Olreph, I been having this strange feeling that something very bad is gonna happen, all the changes on the media, all the new laws by Lana herself, all these new things of her goverment I can't just... escape. Lana made this new law of everyone registrer on a new digital database in order to purchase food or get the most basic attentions like hospital and school, but something was a bit odd you see, she was looking for everyone without exception to registrer to "ensure our safety and fairness to your fellow group". The attempt to fulfill this data base to make EVERYONE registrered regardless of country or status was very suspicious enough, what was she looking for?

Of course, like me there were many species complaining, manifesting on the streets thinking their privacy was being invaded, on the internet there were groups aganist Lana's goverment saying that is a very very passive dictatorship. How did it work? Simple. You have to fill a form, then they take photos of you, record your voice and also finger print, after that they put you a seal on your wrist, if you don't have it you don't have access to basic services such as welfare, school, medic attention, food for poor ones, even their churches of some species who still believe in religion, the goverment slowly took the control of religious organizations, specially foreign planets, literally telling them "if you want to preach on my planet and my country you have to have the Seal of Malbok" if they refuse the goverment would encourage the people to sabotage the religious meetings and vandalize temples and houses of pray, and there were many religions who were literally in a war each other and that was like a golden pass to destroy each other, reptilians hate grays, human hate reptilians and so on.

The authorities were also brutal, most of them were robots who assisted Lana without question, crime was low between civilians but the officers, generals and guards looks like they became the criminals now, a reptilian who tried to rob a female zelian with her child during the night, the guards track him down and so far he dissapeared along with the relatives who blame the goverment one by one. A priest from the ancient human religion vanished from all Pholos apparently for giving a speach aganist the seal of the goverment. People has never became more scared and depressed. 

There were also some rumors that the goverment of Lana was using it's funds to purchase part of the products of private services to enhance it's own institutions, you like the fruits and meat of certain brand? Well you can now purchase it in the goverment stores, want to put a fast food franchise on Pholos from your planet? The taxes that allow your franchise to exists was cut but the other half have to be your food for the goverment's fast food joints and so on, so that way the goverment was slowly taking over each business and making it's own version including little by little the fancy products, don't purchase the Zneliorak fragance! You can now have the Perfume of the Town by the Lana Party! Of course, despite the prices the people prefer to spend more to private products than the goverment ones. This dicatorship was so disgusting they even hired spies to steal recipes for many consumables and also buy the main providers of those franchises, purchase the factories of floating ships and vehicles, the construction materials for buildings, everything had now the logo of Lana's party.

The comercials on the screens and holograms were normal, but the only difference is that annoying goverment logo on the corner of the ad, in the schools the kids of many species learned not only the basics education but also they were receiving lessons about how to be a good citizen, how Lana's party was superior in the whole solar system, how the rest of the planets are destined to perish unlike Pholos and also to worship Malbok not like a hero or a symbol but like a god, how he will rise from the death to show us a tangible heaven along with many other nonsense and many parents, zelians, grays, reptilians, korosnians they were not agree with some of this propaganda but, they had no other choice if they want a proper education and documents for the future of their kids. Funny enough, people were not taught to worship Lana, she was just like a prophet of the town, a messenger but also the one who will prepare the carpet for the arrival of Malbok, that bluish living melting flesh being...

Like any goverment, it had it's fans and haters, the few fans, most of them zelians, mind you, were saying that the goverment were making accesible many of the benefits only rich people can afford and Malbok was a genius for making everything for everyone. There is a word for this type of ideology in the human tongue, I don't remember what it is though, I only know is that it has failed within their planets over and over. This goverment was scary because it took over birthdays, funerals, weddings and even holidays in general, if you want to make a celebration or even an event the goverment has to be notified and they will support you financially with the promise you will pay them back either with money or any favor the goverment will ask you to do to benefit the Lana's party.

It has been like this like I said from years, I was returning from some groceries, I didn't felt like watching the television again, my apartment had at least one Malbok seal and my wrist had that horrible mark too, l put the ingredients to the fridge and shelves when I heard my ... let's call it telephone... is easier that way. I received a call from a very old friend of mine, her name was Lilibeth and she was a korosnian who was my partner when we used to work by Lady Urania many years ago. Let me give you a brief history:

Long time ago before the goverment of Evarina we used to work for her mother Gladys, the famous "Lady Urania" she recruited 7 members to ride in a space ship called Khalis Bishuda, we were called The Seekers. It was a ship designed to take resources from other planets to benefit Pholos, our team traveled for many years to planets rich on resources that can be used as a giant treasure box, we went to volcanic planets and with proper equipment we took tons and tons of materials for Pholos, we went to diamond planets, methane worlds, water worlds and planets with primitive civilizations that only knew how to survive and wouldn't mean a challenge to our crew, we even made some friends and some enemies, we had a lot of adventures together, and years later more ships were create to explore the cosmos to search more resources for many purposes. Some of us retired and live by a check of the goverment like me, and some got some other jobs. 

The youngest of our crew, a little korosnian alien called Lilibeth worked for Lady Urania, then Evarina and then Lana Valdakio as a secretary. Her nature, loyalty, inocence, experience and wisdom made her escalate through the years in a very high position and got access to many priviledges many would do anything to have. We haven't spoke since those Seeker days and my surprice was big when I receive a call from her. But something was not right, I picked the phone and I received a "meet me outside" that sounded very unlikely of her, like she was in a rush but I thought "maybe she can't wait to see her old friend".

I walked outside my home and I smiles almost from ear to ear when I saw her, she was smiling weakly like if something was bothering her but I didn't care, I ran to her and I give her a big hug, I mentioned how happy I was to see her, how different she looked from last time I saw her, I invited her to my house and she accepted. I prepared a couple of drinks and a zelian pie slices she took a seat on the living room with a very faint smile like, she was happy to see me but something bigger was invading her mind, like she was worried or something.

We talk about our experiences, I showed her an album, we remembered the rest of the crew and how we been after all these years but then I couldn't help but asking her what happened, she pretended to be happy and I shouldn't be worried, she told me that she was fine, but I knew her from many years ago and I know she used to be a sweet inocent and cheerful little alien and this was not because of the age but it was something else. Lilibeth was always aware of her surroundings and like if she was lost she told me to go outside, I was confused but she was almost begging me to go outside so I nod and went outside my apartment. Lilibeth then told me to go with her to a special place, she wanted to tell me something there, I started to get worried so If I can get an answer for her behaviour I would do anything she tells me as long as I know that is bothering her. 

We get on a ground vehicle, something strange because the air traffic was clear, not many ship flying around but she insisted, and the vehicle we were while Lilibeth was driving was a classic one, a vehicle that is not being produced anymore and the new updates had now Malbok's technology for safe driving. During the travel there was and awkward slience, I saw Lilibeth and she was looking her surroundings like she was being chased or something. The streets were almost empty and peaceful, no officials were on the streets or on the air, she was sweating a bit, and I didnt' want to insist what she had because I may make things worst,  I just wanted to wherever she wanted me to be. 

She was driving a long time, it was a sunset, we were starting to get out of the city to go on the countryside, the buildings started to be replaced by gas stations, restaurants, cheap hotels and some small shops, we were in the middle of nowhere now, there were no air traffic either, Lilibeth gave a turn to move the vehicle out of the high way to move on the soil path. When we finally arrive she woke me up, the sun was very faint and the moons begin to glow in the sky, she didnt gave me the time to stretch, we walked and walked until we found an abandoned cabin, one of those you would found in a horror movie, small house in the middle of nowhere. We entered and the place looked old and antique, some old furniture and dusty walls and there not only she explained to me the reason of her fear but also a huge revelation that made me shake in terror and the horrors that are gonna happen...

 

In the next entry I will detail the revelation of Lilibeth as well as other guest on the house, please be patient. Also I will soon enter a summary of the characters here and a quick and easy reference to avoid confusion.
