First Contact

The ship’s voice came over the loudspeakers, but there was a demented quality to it. Its words were jumbled, all running together. It was a distortion of the monotone male voice and the sexy female voice … and something else too. The lights flickered and the engine cut off for a split second.

Sarah almost shit her pants.

Jason yelled, “Status update, Molly.”

The ship struggled to respond. Then its voice came out crisp and eloquent, but it was odd.

It was a male voice, but it wasn’t the right male voice. It certainly wasn’t the ship anymore.

It said, “I am not a threat. Are you a threat to me?”

Jason looked around at Jack and Sarah before responding. “We mean you no harm. But if we’re attacked again we will destroy your planet.”

The last part was a bluff. Jason knew they didn’t have weaponry that diabolical.

The ship said, “Good. I apologize for the missile launched at your vessel. I had no idea any of those were still operational.”

Jason said, “I don’t know if I believe that, but we’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.”

The voice said, “I have scanned your ship’s computer. I have learned your language and habits. I understand you are humans from a dying planet called Earth, on a mission to colonize a new world. I would like to come aboard and introduce myself personally.”

“Forget that,” barked Sarah.

But Jason said over the top of her, “That will be fine, but you’ll have to get here yourself. We won’t waste fuel on a landing and another launch.”

“I will be in close proximity in less than one minute.”

“We’ll open an airlock for you. If you arrive armed or pose any threat to us, you’ll be killed immediately.”

“I understand.”

Jason held his hand out at Sarah, and when she failed to understand what he wanted, he whispered, “Give me my gun back.”

The ship said, “That won’t be necessary, Captain Rodriquez. If you could open the airlock, I’m here now.”

Sarah said, “Shit.” If she were still in control, there was no way they would be picking up an alien creature that had just fired upon them.

Jason grabbed the gun from Sarah but he didn’t holster it. He led the way to the airlock.

For the first time, Sarah looked at Jack. Rather than showing any sign of fear or apprehension, he looked positively excited by the prospect of meeting the alien.
